InVideo - Reviews and experiences

I hesitated because of the fee and credits, a colleague tipped me. First saw it on LinkedIn. Quality surprised me, worth it for pros, still wish credits were higher.

I started using this around nine months ago. At first it was simple and actually did what I wanted. Then I bumped into the credits thing as I used it more. They keep pushing upgrades and extra credits like it's just normal. Upgrades are confusing. The AI trips over spelling now and then, which was a bit annoying — and fixing it costs more credits. Support is mostly a bot and not super helpful. Still, the core function gets the job done, so I’m sticking with it for now.

the AI'll often get you something that's close enough to use, like the tone and pacing are usually fine, but it misses the one thing you actually asked for. And then you hit regenerate and — surprise — you're billed again for their miss. It's the part that annoys me most, honestly. I don't think they're scamming people, I really don't; it feels like a tool still finding its feet. I use it for quick social posts and the occasional family montage; when it works, it's great and saves me time. But those mumbled narrations and random stock clips sneaking in mean I redo stuff, and credits add up. I remember seeing estimates: short clips cost less, new models a lot more, and with retries you can approach a shocking total. So yeah, useful, improving, but plan for imperfect output and a hit to the wallet if you like to tweak. Heads up if you make videos for work — keep an eye on regenerations.

good enough for quick stock clips with an English AI voice, not great if you want proper AI-generated video. I started using it a few weeks ago and jumped in because the concept seemed helpful — an all-in-one tool sounded handy. First impression was: interface is decent, straightforward, and it actually does what it promises at a basic level. That said, the subscription cost hit hard right away. You get a monthly allotment of credits, but in practice those are usually only enough for one AI video, if that. We tried to generate a fully AI-rendered clip and the result looked off — odd movements, mistakes in syncing — nothing catastrophic but not natural either. When we asked for fixes, the team basically required more credits to correct things that felt like their errors, which rubbed me the wrong way. So the workflow becomes expensive quickly: subscription plus top-up credits. If you only need to stitch stock footage with an English AI voice-over, it’s fine — there are enough points included for volume. If you want genuine, polished AI video generation, this tool falls short and gets costly. A bit of a shame, because I liked the idea and some parts of the app are actually well done.

The video editing program is easy to use and efficient for beginners. However, I had some issues trying to open it on my Mac while using Chrome. The package I bought only had a limited number of minutes, and I ended up using them all within two days because I wasn't familiar with the program and had to redo some tasks multiple times. This restriction made me feel like I didn't get my money's worth because I couldn't even finish my first project. I suggest trying out the free version first to see if it's worth investing in the paid version. It's important to fully understand the software before buying it to avoid disappointment.
