Many of the AI tools and ideas I find to explore come from the blogging aggregation platform Medium. InVideo is a great example of a tool I probably wouldn’t have found if not for this article.

The other AI video apps I’ve explored so far feature AI actors to create a ‘talking head’ video based on a script you provide. Invideo is different because it can use AI to generate its own script and then uses video clips from stock libraries as b-roll to help make the video more engaging.

I started with a free account to see how well this app works. Below is one of my first attempts at a short video on Bloom’s Taxonomy. You will see that with the unpaid version of this app, the watermarks remain in place.

After playing with options for an hour or so I decided to pay the $25 for one months worth of access which gives me the ability to remove the iStock watermark and generate up to 50 minutes of video with unlimited downloads.

Invideo Plus Features @ $25 monthly

• 50 mins/mo of AI generation
• 80/mo iStock
• 100 GB storage
• Unlimited exports
• Up to 1 user

Here is the first video I tried with no watermarks or other limitations of the free version of invideo. The video below was based on the following prompt.

Based on the prompt I provided it’s not surprising that this seems like a marketing video for objectives. It was not hard to verify the citations provided in the video. Here are links to Marzano and Hattie on the importance of objectives.

I want to continue to see if I can get invideo to create more ‘how to’ videos that walk faculty through the process of writing effective objectives. In my next post I’ll also dive deeper into the editing features available in InVideo. Check the two images below for a preview of some of the editing options available. I’m exited to see these options in action.
