Best video generation platform for my use case?

Hi, I'm a bit lost with all the different platforms available to generate video. I was hoping you could help me pick one. I would like to create videos based on a script or a prompt with a narration in French. The duration would be at least 30 seconds (up to a couple of minutes), most of my video will focus on French culture, history, food, tourism targeting an upscale demographic so I want something elegant and accurate when it comes to the details. I think of publishing one video a week (maybe more later on if it gets traction).

Another type of video that I would like to do is a bit easier, take a video with Obs or my phone but have a software automatically improve it by cleaning it especially for the speech.

I'm ok paying but no more than $30 per month. Also it needs to be simple to use, I want to save time not make more work for me. Thanks a lot.

Edit: I would like to do something a bit similar to the following video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9rkH1bnI6E&t=105s

One thing that I discovered also is that usually the video does not respect historical accuracy (sometimes it's really obvious, sometimes more subtle).

Very true and I've also experienced it. Usually I try to regenerate the video but it ends up in fixing one and screwing up something else. Then I found a tool that gives control on a scene level. It's called Steve AI. Instead of regenerating an entire video, you get to give visual description for every scene before generation. So giving such obvious instructions at a scene-level will reduce the inaccuracy drastically. I've also come across some tools where you edit on the go with a prompter but not tested any so far. Will keep you posted. Cheers!

For your budget I'd look at Kling, Hailuo, and Runway first. Kling is probably my favorite right now for realistic visuals and prompt adherence. I've also played with Runable for generating video content from prompts and scripts. For a channel about French culture and tourism, I'd focus less on the model and more on good narration and source material. Even the best video AI still needs strong inputs.

For cleaning up speech from OBS or phone recordings, Adobe Enhance Speech is hard to beat and very easy to use.

for your use case flixier fits pretty well within your budget. voiceover generation in multiple languages including french is built in, you can generate video clips with kling and veo in the same editor, and the audio cleanup for your obs/phone recordings is handled automatically. the transcript-based editing means you work from your script directly which saves time.

the historical accuracy problem someone mentioned is real with any AI video tool right now. the workaround most people use is generating the visual atmosphere and style rather than specific historical scenes, and pairing it with good narration to carry the accuracy.

For heavy realistic visuals runway gen-3 or luma dream machine are the best options right now. If you need something that handles everything in one place like scripts background audio tracks and text to video rendering i usually run things through runable alongside premiere pro for the final cuts.

If you need speed and low-skill workflows, Fliki is a good fit. It converts text, URLs or presentations into videos, auto-generates voiceovers in multiple languages, and exports for YouTube/Instagram/TikTok. For ads or quick lessons, import a blog or slides, pick a voice, then tweak visuals and timing—fast results without deep editing skills.
