Video Production Stack
Generate B-roll, edit by script, add realistic voiceover, create thumbnails, and extract clips for social: the full video production pipeline.
Our Take
Built around a real production pipeline, script to B-roll to voiceover to distribution, not a single quick edit. Runway generates B-roll and effects work that would otherwise mean a stock footage subscription or a shoot, ElevenLabs replaces a voiceover artist for narration-heavy content, and Opus Clip handles the social cutdown at the end. If you're making one video a month, this is more tooling than the workflow needs, it earns its keep at weekly-or-more output.
True Cost & Exit
What this stack really costs to run, and how you'd leave it.
Monthly cost
from $60/mo (all core tiers)
Lean alternative
Descript alone ($16/mo Hobbyist) covers editing for occasional output; add Runway for B-roll generation and ElevenLabs for voiceover only once you're producing weekly or more and feeling the cost of stock footage or a voiceover artist.
Exit path
Your source footage and edits live in Descript's project files, and generated clips live wherever Runway and Opus Clip export them locally; none of these five vendors publishes a formal export policy, so keep local backups of raw exports rather than relying on account access.
