Types of Videos you can make with InVideo?
Short answer is, whatever kind of video you want to create, and I am not exaggerating this as you keep reading this further I am sure you will resonate with this.
The premium video template gallery on InVideo is a powerhouse of all the possible formats or types of videos you may want to create. They have thought this through whilst creating the tool.
Using InVideo video editor you can create videos designed for platforms like
- Youtube
- SnapChat
There are pre-made templates that make your job easier. Templates are across diverse categories like
- Brand
- Products
- Ads
- Presentations
- offers/ coupons
- COVID-19
- Invitations
- Motivational quotes
- Webinar promos
- Bite-size ads
- Video Testimonials
- Greetings
- Listicles
- Snackable videos
You can create professional looking videos across all these categories and there various templates available for each of these categories. This feature to use templates and themes is an incredible time saver. I mean imagine having to put together piece by piece for creating every video, every time like you did in the good old Movie Maker. But honestly, that seems like a lot of work.
As per my experience with this video software, with a very little tweaking I have been able to make the videos from these templates, unique looking videos.
It really doesn’t matter what kind of business you are into, this tool is not just for a specific industry. The kind of categories that they have put together establishes the fact that you can create any sort of videos.
Once you get pro at creating videos using these templates then you can also make use of the blank template to let the creativity flow & create videos that are unique.
InVideo Pricing: How is this video marketing tool priced?
InVideo in my opinion has been priced very well. I mean despite being such a useful tool I was sure that this tool must cost a fortune; especially with it being a tool that is bundled with lots of awesome features.
I was shocked finding out how really affordable this tool is.
So basically, there are two plans (they have kept this really simple)
You can go for monthly packaged (NOT RECOMMENDED) or you can go for Unlimited Package (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)
Whoever is looking to buy InVideo is either an Agency that has to create marketing collateral for social media marketing & video Ads or is a business owner who has to create videos for their own business. (there can many other possibilities, but right off the bat these two comes to the mind)
It makes sense to go with an yearly plan because creating video content for a Digital Business is not a one time thing; to the ever demanding algorithm you need to create volumes of video content and that is the reason why I would recommend you to go with the yearly package is quite simple actually. If you go with the monthly plan you will have to pay +50% more of what you pay in the yearly plan.
The reason If you go with the monthly plan then you just have to pay $10 per month. That’s it!
In the business plan you can access and use 300 premium stock images & videos from storyblocks & shutterstock and export only 60 HD videos per month (which is enough for small business)
If your need is more then Unlimited Plan is best for you. In the unlimited plan you pay only $30 per month for the yearly plan. You can access & use unlimited premium photos & videos from storyblocks & shutterstock and you can export unlimited HD videos.

1. Select the platform & it’s placement
In the first step we will choose the social media platforms placement i.e Facebook timeline, Facebook Story, YouTube Landscape etc
2. Select the theme for the video
There are creative templates categorized according to the themes for which you might want to create the video to save your efforts and time.
If you don’t find the aspect ratio that you’re looking for from the available in the homepage then you can go right ahead and search for your theme.
For example, I searched for “software”
3. A walkthrough to the top options in the tool to create the video
I. Media Library
There is a media library which you can access to find images & videos from millions of photos & videos available for the video effects that you want to create. (it is possible that the template which you have picked doesn’t have the exact photo & video that you wanted) You can see the transition below that you can configure as per the need of your video design that you have in your mind.
II. Music library
Make things exciting with some music!
There is a music library as well that already contains a lot of audio which you can use for the video. There is no restriction, if you don’t like any of the music that’s there then there is an option to upload your own audio which you can use for the video.
III. Text/ Font library
There are various font styles available to use what’s more interesting is that they also have calligraphy templates there. Where you can find a ready made text box having some text with color and animation effects. Really great option for promotional video.
IV: Sticker library
There are 1000+ stickers available with animation effects that you can use in the video. There are stickers that you can use as a CTA for your video.
CTA stickers like “call now” “Get Started” and so much more.
I find this a really interesting feature.
V. Animated effect library
There is an animation effect library from where you can choose an effect & add that as an overlay over your video.
4. Export the video
On the video timeline see what else you can add; check the video duration & sizing before your export. To export there is an option in the top right “Export” once you click that an option appears that asks you whether you want to save the video in 720P or 1080P video formats.
You can choose from the two & save your video.

You have done a fabulous work and included a great review of In-Video. You have explained the topic very nicely and provided all the necessary information regarding this tool that is well enough to educate the readers.
After going through this post i can undoubtedly say that this tool is true enough for creating alluring videos and its features are also awesome. I really like your step-by-step in-video tutorial and lastly i want to say that yes i use canva. And canva is really an amazing tool for creating alluring images, photo-collage, banners, logo and is also great for making presentation.
Eventually thanks for sharing your knowledge and such a helpful post.
I have used both DaVinci Resolve and InVideo. I found that InVideo has a very friendly UX as compared to DaVinci Resolve. It is a Paid Tool but surely is value for money.
