Use a timeline effect when the existing shot already contains the action you need and you want to change how it looks. Generate a new shot when you need new visual content. invideo Editor currently includes 93 video effects, alongside tools for working with generated media.
Start with the intended result: a visual treatment on the same performance, or a different shot altogether. You can animate supported effect parameters with keyframes. Manual editing does not use credits; work assigned to an AI agent can use credits, even when the task does not generate replacement footage.
