Animoto and InVideo are both online tools designed to help humans—who might otherwise struggle with the concept of putting moving pictures together—create videos with alarming ease. They come packed with templates, accept various bits of media like text, images and video clips and even let you export your masterpiece in high definition, which is useful if you plan on showing it to other humans with functioning eyeballs. There’s also a touch of AI magic in both, presumably so that in the not-too-distant future, the software can simply make the videos for you while you relax with a cup of tea and question your own relevance in the creative process.
Animoto hails from the USA and has been at this game since 2006, which in internet years makes it roughly the equivalent of an ancient, wise sage. It caters largely to small businesses, marketers and educators who want to create videos without the unnecessary faff of learning complex editing software. Its approach is delightfully straightforward: drag things, drop things, press a button and hope for the best. It thrives on simplicity, which is brilliant unless you happen to want things like highly intricate edits, in which case it will pat you on the head and politely suggest you try something else.
InVideo, by contrast, burst onto the scene in 2017 from India, a land known for innovation, color and excellent food (none of which are included with the software, unfortunately). It aims for a slightly more ambitious crowd—social media marketers, content creators and agencies who demand a bit more control over their moving pictures. Unlike Animoto, which is happy to hold your hand, InVideo hands you a powerful timeline-based editor and wishes you luck. It also includes a suspiciously intelligent text-to-video feature that, with the right input, can generate videos with unsettling efficiency, which is either fantastic or terrifying depending on your general stance on AI taking over the world.
