Shots vs
InVideo
InVideo turns a prompt into a whole video: script, stock footage, voiceover and captions, which you then change by chatting. Shots starts from your own clips: it finds the moments, makes the cut and generates only what's missing.
Videos from an idea. Explainers, ads and faceless channels built from a script, stock and generated shots.
Videos from your footage. Shots watches what you filmed and makes the edit around it.
The short version.
InVideo leans on stock and generated shots. Shots leans on what you filmed.
Search hours of your own footage for the one moment you want.
Every generated shot is marked as generated on the timeline.

Millions of stock clips to fill a script quickly.
Voiceovers, voice clones and avatars for talking videos.

Questions.
Should I switch from InVideo?
If you make videos without filming anything, InVideo is built for that. If you've filmed and need it edited, Shots is built for that.
Does Shots have stock footage?
No. Shots edits what you filmed and generates the shots you're missing, labelled as generated.
Is Shots free?
Yes. The editor is free with no watermark. Pro is $29 a month with 2,500 credits for generating, and Team is $99 a month for up to five people.
