Local AI
Local AI for video
Local AI video in 2026 means short clips from Wan or LTX inside ComfyUI, not a replacement for a video editor or for cloud tools like Runway. The small Wan model is the one that fits everyday computers. The better models want a graphics card with 24 GB or more, or a Mac with a big pool of memory, and they still take minutes.
Video
Runs wellSharper short clips than the small Wan model, including audio in the LTX stack. It does not replace a cloud video studio or an editor.
Newer local video, with sound in the same stack. This is the ambitious pick, and it is picky about memory.

Questions people actually ask
Can I edit a real video locally with AI?
You can caption it with Whisper, and you can generate short new shots. Cutting, color, and a full timeline still belong in a video editor.
Why do so many computers say no?
The nicer video models are huge. A machine that chats beautifully can still refuse a 14-billion-parameter video model.
