InVideo
Turn text into video with AI in minutes
Key Facts
- •Free plan includes watermarks; weekly limits apply (typically 10 mins/week, 4 exports/week; limits may vary by account).
- •Credits/minutes are consumed on edits and regenerations, not just initial generation (user reports confirm this behavior).
- •Commercial/resale rights depend on plan tier; review Terms for your specific use case.
- •Some users report export failures at 99% completion for longer videos; Chrome is recommended over Firefox for reliability.
Bottom Line
InVideo AI is best for creators who want a fast prompt-to-video workflow for Shorts and simple social ads. The trade-off is cost control: heavy iteration can burn minutes/credits quickly, and commercial/resale rights depend on your plan. If you need frame-level editing, you'll likely be happier with a traditional editor.

InVideo works well for content creators who need to produce videos quickly. Its main feature is Text-to-Video: paste a script or blog post URL, and the AI selects stock footage, adds subtitles, and creates a rough cut.
The platform includes access to over 8 million stock media assets from iStock, Shutterstock, and Storyblocks. The interface is straightforward, which helps users with limited video editing experience.
v4.0 includes the AI Twin feature, which creates a digital clone of yourself without a camera. This can help content creators produce videos without being physically present for each recording.
