InVideo generates clips that look like your topic. StrokeVideo draws your topic.
Look rules apply to every board. Production notes are read by both the script writer and the storyboarder. Short and absolute works best: 80-300 characters.
A one-minute video takes a few minutes to render.
This looks like a full script. To keep every word exactly as written, switch to 'I have a script'. In 'Write it for me' the writer condenses it to the chosen length.
InVideo has moved from stitching stock clips to generating footage with video models, and it is fast. But the output is still filmed-looking video with a voice over it, now metered in credits per generation. For explaining a process, a concept or a lesson, a shot of something adjacent to your topic is not the same as a diagram of it, and the free plan exports with a watermark. People asking for 'drawings that appear as the voice speaks' are describing a different kind of video.
Turning a text prompt into a finished live-action-style video in minutes, with AI voice, subtitles and a huge stock library. For product promos, news-style clips and social videos it is hard to beat on speed.
Explanatory power. A stock clip of 'a warehouse' cannot show your specific customs process; a drawing can. The AI may also trim or rewrite a pasted script to fit the clips it finds.
Every board is an illustration generated for the sentences spoken over it, drawn stroke by stroke as the narration reaches each element. A pasted script is used word for word. Twenty drawing styles, fourteen narration languages, MP4 with no watermark.
Pictures: generated or stock footage of your topic versus illustrations drawn for your sentences. Script: may be trimmed versus used verbatim. Cost model: credits per generation versus minutes of finished video. Best for: promos and social clips versus lessons, processes and concepts. Watermark: on InVideo's free exports, never on StrokeVideo.
Switch if you are explaining something and want the viewer to watch the idea being drawn. Stay with InVideo if you want a live-action look for marketing or social content.
Paste the script into the generator above, pick a voice and a style, and render. The first video each day is free.
