InVideo AI
Full videos from a prompt, script and stock included
Our verdict
Fastest route from idea to a publishable explainer — expect to regenerate a few times before the b-roll feels right.
InVideo AI writes a script, picks stock footage, adds a voiceover and assembles a finished video from a single prompt — then lets you edit by typing commands like 'make the intro shorter'. Aimed at faceless YouTube and marketing explainers.

Alternatives to InVideo AI
Runway
The full AI video suite — generate, edit and finish in one place
Runway is more than a generator: Gen-4 text and image-to-video sits beside a browser editor with masking, motion brush, colour tools and effects. It is the closest thing to an AI-native post-production pipeline for short-form creators.
Veo
Google's frontier video model, in Gemini, Flow and Vertex
Veo is Google DeepMind's flagship video generator, accessible in Gemini, the Flow filmmaking app and Vertex AI. It is among the best at native audio, physical realism and following complex direction.
Sora
OpenAI's frontier video model, now its own social app
Sora generates longer, story-coherent clips than most rivals and can remix uploaded footage, with a feed built around it. Access comes through ChatGPT plans rather than a separate subscription.
Luma Dream Machine
Fast, physical video generation with a generous free tier
Luma's Dream Machine generates smooth, physically believable motion from text or a still, and adds keyframes, loops and an editor for assembling shots. Generation is fast and the free allowance is real.
