Easy Video Creation | Templates, AI Scripts | For Small Businesses

About

InVideo

InVideo makes video creation fast and accessible, even if you’ve never edited before. Pick a template, drop in your content, and you’re off to the races. It handles text-to-video, offers tons of stock footage, and uses AI to help with scripts, image overlays, and even background cleanup. It’s perfect for entrepreneurs, marketers, or anyone who needs a video done yesterday—with minimal stress and zero blank-screen syndrome.

Templates do the heavy lifting, but they can also make things feel cookie-cutter if you don’t take time to tweak. And because it’s browser-based, longer projects call for strong WiFi and a machine that can keep up. InVideo is built for speed and volume, not deep customization. If you’re all about cranking out high-frequency content, it’s a powerhouse. Just know you won’t find tools like cinematic transitions or AI-generated short-form clips without extra effort.

Pictory.ai is an AI tool that turns scripts or long videos into short, branded clips—perfect for content repurposing.

About

Pictory

Pictory.ai turns your written content into video—no camera required. Drop in a blog post, script, or long-form video and it builds a complete piece using AI voiceovers, stock footage, captions, and smart scene editing. It’s built for marketers, bloggers, and business owners who need video content but don’t want to be on camera. It’s a solid solve for the “I have words but no footage” problem.

That automation comes with a trade-off: generic stock visuals and flat narration can creep in if you don’t step in and personalize. The AI’s stock selection might miss your brand tone, and the voiceovers can feel a little robotic. For best results, you’ll want to customize with your own visuals or sprinkle in branded b-roll. If you're after scale, Pictory delivers. Just know it works best when you bring your own creative seasoning to the mix.

I was a paid subscriber. My last 2 projects had me wait for ages. I'm noticing a sharp decrease in UX and return of value for a paid subscriber

I was able to navigate throughout the platform fairly easily. I loved the process, but the only thing I didn't like was the watermark at the end of my videos...almost forces you to pay for a plan. Other than that I've already told others about Pictory.

The interface is easy to navigate but AI video in general has a long way to go. It generates very generic images but if you work with it you can make it work.
