How is Montaj different from InVideo?
In Montaj, your own AI edits your own footage on your computer, at no cost from Montaj. InVideo is a browser editor and AI video generator, and its agent and generations run on credits.
When is InVideo the better pick?
If you want whole videos generated from a prompt with its stock footage, avatars or models like Veo and Sora, or edit in the browser with your team.
When is Montaj the better pick?
If you edit your own footage, would rather use your own AI than buy credits, and want every export free and in full quality.
Can Claude or ChatGPT use InVideo too?
Yes, through its connector, with an InVideo account. Images, video and audio made through it spend InVideo credits. In Montaj, your AI edits at no cost from Montaj.
Can Montaj make a video from text?
Yes. In the free AI video template, your AI writes a storyboard you approve, then each scene is made with your own Kling key.
Does Montaj use credits?
