What Is InVideo AI?

InVideo AI is a user-friendly platform that leverages artificial intelligence to transform your ideas into full-length videos.

Step 1: Create an Account

Visit InVideo AI and sign up for a free account. While there are paid options available, the free plan is a great way to experiment with the tool before committing.

Step 2: Input Your Content

Once logged in, you’ll see a simple interface asking for a topic, premise, or detailed instructions. This is where you’ll input the content you’d like to turn into a video.

Example: I used a recent blog post from the Evolve EdTech website as my input. Simply copy and paste your content into the text box and click Generate Video.

Customizing Your Video

After processing your content, InVideo AI will present you with several customization options:

1. Video Duration: Choose between 1, 2, or 4 minutes.
