What AI assistants actually recommend when buyers ask about video creation tools — measured on a rolling 4-week window across 5 engines, published as open data.
Updated 2026-09-17 · 63 sampled answers · rolling 4-week window · methodology
Rankings are measured from sampled AI answers — never editorial, never paid. Orbator builds AI-visibility tooling; when Orbator itself appears in any category, it is measured by the same rules as everyone else.
Measured by Orbatormethodology owner Henrik Tellewindow ends Sep 17, 2026
Sample: 63 AI answers · Window: Aug 20, 2026 – Sep 17, 2026 (4-week rolling) · trend vs prior 4 weeks (56 answers)
Samples by engine: GEMINI 14 (last run Sep 4, 2026) · CHATGPT 14 (last run Sep 4, 2026) · CLAUDE 14 (last run Sep 5, 2026) · PERPLEXITY 14 (last run Sep 4, 2026 — stalest) · GROK 7 (last run Sep 4, 2026)
How these numbers are made: sampling design · prompt provenance · what counts as a mention · what we cannot see
On the record: This ranking is frozen as a dated snapshot every day. View this category's history to see what entered and left the ranking and when, or read what the engines actually said on a given day.
Across 63 sampled AI answers from 5 engines, Canva is recommended most often — appearing in 65.1% of recommendations, followed by Captions (58.7%) and CapCut (58.7%).
This is a measurement of share of voice across 5 AI engines — not an editorial pick. See the full ranking below.
Orbator asked Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Grok buyer questions about video creation tools and sampled 63 answers between Aug 20, 2026 and Sep 17, 2026. Recommendation share counts the answers that recommended or listed a product, so a passing mention or a warning adds nothing to it. A category publishes once it holds at least 20 independently sampled answers in the window. Read the full methodology or download this ranking as CSV.
Start with the question you are actually asking, because the measured leaders change with it. In the best_in_category prompts (18 runs), Canva led at 88.9%, with Adobe at 83.3% and CapCut at 61.1%. In problem_solving prompts (18 runs), CapCut led at 77.8% and Captions followed at 72.2%. The alternatives prompts (9 runs) put Canva and CapCut level at 88.9%. The comparison prompts (9 runs) produced a thinner leader, Canva at 44.4%. The recommendation prompt about subtitle and repurposing features (9 runs) was led by VEED at 88.9%, with Captions at 77.8%.
Browser-based editing for non-editors is the prompt three of the five over-index on, so it separates products least. No pricing fact is recorded for any of the five, so the snapshot supports no price comparison.

Reading the numbers: Share is a point estimate on 63 sampled answers, so each row also shows its 95% CI — the Wilson score interval around that share. When two products' intervals overlap, the gap between them isn't statistically meaningful at this sample size. First pick is the share of a product's recommending answers where it was named first, which separates “always mentioned” from “usually the top recommendation”. Full methodology.

Head-to-head pages for products ranked in Video creation tools. Each one sets out sourced facts side by side, plus which product AI assistants recommend more, engine by engine.
Canva ranks first, recommended in 65.1% of 63 sampled answers in the 4-week window to 2026-09-05, and recommended in every one of the 9 runs on the browser-based editing for non-editors prompt. Its mention breakdown splits 23 recommended against 18 listed. Highest on Grok at 85.7% of Grok's 7 answers, lowest on Claude at 42.9% of Claude's 14 answers.
Captions ranks second at 58.7% of 63 sampled answers, and reached 77.8% of the 9 runs on producing product demo videos on a small budget. Its breakdown is 12 recommended against 25 listed, the most listing-heavy of the five. Highest on Grok at 85.7% of Grok's 7 answers, lowest on Gemini and Perplexity, each 42.9% of 14 answers.
CapCut ranks third, also 58.7% of 63 sampled answers, and was recommended in all 9 runs on simple alternatives to complex professional editing software for marketers. Breakdown of 22 recommended against 15 listed. Highest on Grok at 100% of Grok's 7 answers, lowest on Claude and Gemini, each 50% of 14 answers.
Adobe ranks fourth at 52.4% of 63 sampled answers, recommended in all 9 runs on the browser-based editing prompt. Breakdown of 16 recommended against 17 listed. Highest on Grok at 71.4% of Grok's 7 answers, lowest on Claude at 28.6% of Claude's 14 answers.
VEED ranks fifth at 46% of 63 sampled answers, and 88.9% of the 9 runs on the browser-based editing prompt. Breakdown of 17 recommended against 12 listed. Its engine spread is the widest measured, 85.7% of Grok's 7 answers against 28.6% of Gemini's 14.
The five engines did not converge on one name. Among the top five, Claude recommended Captions most across its 14 answers, and ChatGPT did the same across its 14 answers. Gemini led with Canva across its 14 answers, and Perplexity also led with Canva across its 14 answers. Grok led with CapCut across its 7 answers.
VEED shows the widest gap between engines. It was recommended in 28.6% of Gemini's 14 answers and 85.7% of Grok's 7 answers, a spread of 57.1 points. Grok's 7 answers are the smallest engine sample in this window, so its share sits on fewer runs than the others. A buyer testing across assistants should expect the top name to change with the assistant.
This is the first measured window on record for video creation tools. It runs 2026-08-08 to 2026-09-05, 28 days, with 63 sampled answers across 5 engines. There is no prior window to compare against, so no entries, exits or share changes can be reported yet.
As the window stands, Canva leads at 65.1% of those 63 answers, followed by Captions and CapCut, each at 58.7%, Adobe at 52.4% and VEED at 46%. Leaders differ by engine. Claude and ChatGPT led with Captions, Gemini and Perplexity with Canva, Grok with CapCut. Canva also opened first in 43.9% of its answers, against 27% for Captions, 15.2% for Adobe, 5.4% for CapCut and 3.4% for VEED. The next window gives the first comparison point.
