InVideo

How a video gets made: AI agents generate it from a prompt, then you edit on a timeline
Credits: AI generation uses credits
Where your files live: In InVideo's cloud
Stock footage and AI models: Yes

When InVideo fits better

You want a whole video from a sentence: a script, a voiceover, stock clips and AI-generated shots assembled for you, then refined with a team. smooth.video doesn't generate anything on its own.

InVideo vs smooth.video

When smooth.video fits better

You want the text or the logo to move exactly the way you picture it, need a transparent overlay or a 4K export, or you'd rather not sign in to make a ten-second animation.

You know what the animation should look like and want to build it exactly: a logo reveal, a title, an animated stat, a product badge, without spending credits or hoping a prompt gets it right.
