Open source tool for live mixing video streaming. You can put a text overlay on top of a video, for example. You can also set up different scenes in advance so you can transition between different combos. This also has an audio mixer so you can adjust the volume between a shared video and your own microphone (or other inputs). It's compatible with other platforms, so you can use it with Zoom or whatever you're currently using for video conferencing or streaming.

VEED
This browser-based video editing tool is aimed at marketers for creating quick social media videos. They have a free account level which includes a watermark. This might be helpful to students or others looking for a way to create a quick sample for their portfolio without spending money.
VEED Online Video Editor
I haven't tried this tool, but it looks like a decent tool for creating or subtitling a quick video with a free tool. The free version has limits in video length and only exports to 780p, but that might be enough for a quick portfolio sample. As a paid tool, I think most elearning folks would probably be better off paying a little more to get Camtasia instead.
Frame.io | Video Review and Collaboration Software
Tool for reviewing videos with comments. The free plan is limited to 2 projects but might be enough for some uses
Screenlight Video Review & Approval
A tool for collecting feedback on video, audio, or images. The free plan allows only 1 project, but that lets you try it out. $9/month for the first tier paid plan with unlimited reviewers.
Free Stock Video Footage, Royalty Free Videos for Download
Free stock videos; commercial use is OK. These could be used as b roll, transitions, or backgrounds.
CreateStudio Animation Made Easy - CreateStudio
Tool for creating 2D and 3D animated videos. The basic plan is $99 for a lifetime license, with limited characters and templates.
Video Caption Generator - Automatic Captions - VEED.IO
Automatically generate captions for videos for free
scena.ai | Revolutionary interactive video and AI avatars
Interesting concept for creating interactive video based on text prompts. I wonder if you could use this for creating conversation simulations for training like branching scenarios.
HOME | Pika Labs
Text to video tool. This works like Midjourney where you add text prompts in a Discord channel on the Pika Labs server. You can use either a text prompt by itself or provide a starting image to animate. This still feels like a tool in beta to me, and the results often have noticeable AI weirdness in them. But, maybe you could use this for a snippet of B roll or to add slight animation to an existing image.
Visla: All-in-one Video Storytelling.
AI video tool for video editing and generation. Specifically, one of the features lets you edit videos by editing the transcript. This tool has a free plan with some limitations which look like plenty to at least test it out and potentially use if you need something quick.
Vidnoz AI Tools: Create FREE Engaging AI Videos 10X Faster
Vidnoz AI has several tools. Their AI video generator is similar to Synthesia, although the voices and avatars seem to be not quite as good. if you want to try out AI video generation, this looks like a great option for experimenting and exploring because you can generate 3 minutes of video for free. This site also has other tools, some with a freemium model, such as face swapping and background removal.
