AI video generation does not rely on pre-shot footage. Instead, it uses models trained on massive datasets to create scenes, characters, or animations from scratch. Traditional video editing focuses on cutting, enhancing, and arranging existing clips, while AI enables content creation even when no camera or physical setup is involved.

It accelerates creative prototyping, lowers production costs, and helps non-experts produce videos without filming, scripting, or animation skills.
