Invideo takes your prompt and assets, then orchestrates hundreds of creative decisions behind the scenes - writing scripts, crafting lyrics, composing music, and building visuals. Think of it as your own AI production house. After 2–3 generations, you’ll have enough footage to shape a standout video.
