The InVideo alternative without template-first editing
InVideo leans hard into template- and prompt-driven video generation. That's handy for churning out slideshow-style promos, but the moment you want frame-level control — nudge a cut two frames, keyframe a zoom, time a caption to a beat — you're fighting the template. Free output is watermarked and AI generations are metered with credits.
