The biggest advantage of this AI video software is that it can also generate a video even if you don’t supply the script in the first place. Isn’t it a cool thing?

Key features of InVideo

• 50+ AI-powered themes to choose from
• Access to 6000+ templates
• Provides iStock media and music library
• Automated Text to Speech
• Use filters and transitions to create great videos

InVideo.io Text to AI Video Process & Example

To create videos, you need to pick any template or theme and enter any text. That’s it, you can easily turn that script into an amazing AI video. You can add media including music, text, images, and more.

With the help of InVideo.ai, I have created this quick video from the text supplied. It only took 2 minutes and the accuracy and efficiency of this ai text to video tool are just amazing. I haven’t encountered any problems.

The best thing about Invideo is their AI system understanding. 8 out of 10 times it produced the exact video I required based on my script. Just like any other AI tool, it requires human touch for final refinement. It also generates subtitles for my videos. 

Overall I can say, Invideo is capable of reducing about 75-80% of the total video production time. The video output is best when you supply your script, but still needs some improvement for automated script-based videos.

So this is how I proceeded…

1. Free SignupI started with InVideo by quickly signing up for free.

2. Activating the Text to Video Mode

Then InVideo ask you to choose a workflow (3 Options are available, and for the testing purpose here I picked up “Text to Video”)

3. Browsing the Templates

So just after entering into the Text-to-video workflow, I have seen plenty of amazing templates. Most of the templates supported both landscape and portrait modes.

I wanted to generate an AI video from our fitness project script and luckily I have found a template for this.

4. Inserting the Text based script

Upon selecting the template, you have to provide a text script that you’re looking to convert into a video. 

5. Generating the AI Video

Based on the paragraph lengths, InVideo uses its smart AI algorithm and splits the text into different scenes. In case you don’t like the automated generated scenes, you can make manual adjustments easily.

Once I had done the basic adjustments, I was ready to render the video. The rendering process hardly took 2 minutes. The final video came with the watermark because of the free version. But it can be easily removed through upgrades…

Here’s a simple tutorial that shows you how to convert an article into a video using InVideo software;

Pros And Cons of Invideo

3. DeepBrain.io

DeepBrain.io is a universal AI Video studio that provides multiple features for which you usually need different tools.

Not only can you generate text-to-video in it, but you can also create your own custom AI avatar and use it anywhere. For example, you can use the avatar as a customer support agent for your company or create videos through it, and much more.

Compared to other tools mentioned in this list, we have found DeepBrain.io to be more valuable in terms of money and features. And the best part of DeepBrain is the free AI video generator without a watermark.

DeepBrain.io has four types of AI video products:

1.) AI Studios: Primarily an AI video tool that you can use for various tasks such as text-to-video generation, video editing, text-to-speech, PowerPoint to video, and more.

2.) AI Human: This allows you to create a custom human avatar of “You.” You can deploy this human for various tasks like presentations, anchoring, and more. You can integrate it with third-party chatbots to offer realistic customer support through an AI Chatbot Avatar that exactly looks like you.

3.) AI Interviewer: You can create an AI interviewer that recruits and conducts interviews in real-time.

4.) Re-Memory: A tool to interact with people’s memories who have passed away through AI.

DeepBrain.io AI Studios Key Features

• Text to Video Generation
• Supported AI video templates for various situations like training, business, news, commerce, marketing, education, YouTube, Social Media, and more.
• Text to speech tool is inbuilt. Make your videos sound good with talking that works in over 80 languages.
• Put real-looking people in your videos – more than 100 avatars to pick from! 
• Custom AI video avatars can be created
• Write your video script easily with the help of ChatGPT integration

DeepBrain.io Text to AI Video Process & Example

DeepBrain.io creators believe that you can generate text-to-video in just 3 steps using their amazing AI video suite: Open up the Video editor, Choose a template, Insert/Generate a script and you will be 80% done. Editing is required to give a final touch.

I subscribed to their service. As soon as I logged in, I found the following options on their home dashboard:

• Start with ChatGPT: That is for those who doesn’t have a script
• URL to video: I found this feature useless
• Solid Background
• Default Template
• Import PPT
• Start with Template

Obviously, I have chosen a template.

Most of the templates available here have 5-7 scenes that you can easily customize 100% – which is obviously a good point.

For illustration, I inserted my script into one of their Workout text-to-video templates.

The moment I tapped on a “Create AI Video” button, I was transferred to their AI video editor. 

Personally, it took me around 5-10 minutes to explore all the options available in the editor. Changing models, editing scenes, adding voiceovers, incorporating custom assets, and adding a logo—everything was easy to go.

One thing I didn’t like is their slow rendering process, meaning it feels like having a good internet connection is necessary for rendering the output.

The final exported video was in full HD, and the rendering was done well. Speaking of human touch, the avatars provided by DeepBrain.io appear quite human-like, so your video doesn’t seem like it’s being presented by a bot. The voiceovers used sound completely natural.

Apart from using templates, I also experimented with a couple of avatars. Inside the Avatars tab, there are plenty to choose from. Once you select an avatar, you’ll be prompted to try out this model. 

Upon proceeding, you can input a script into the script editor and instruct your avatar to present it for you in a video.

Starting with avatars is easy overall. However, if you want a catchy background and additional elements, starting with templates is a better option.

Pros and Cons of DeepBrain.io

4. Synthesia.io

Synthesia is one of the incredible AI video generators that help you easily create realistic AI videos in just minutes. This tool perfectly suits a situation where you need professional-looking actors to do voice-overs in your videos based on the text script. The perfect video example where this tool could work great is giving a sales pitch and presentation.

I tested Synthesia a couple of times and asked my colleagues to figure out the difference between AI characters & real humans. Some of them identify the AI presence, however, most of the people give a thumbs up to the final video. 

And this is why I advised you to test the video quality of Synthesia before giving it a final shot to it. (Check the demo below)

From my experience, I would say if you’re looking to generate tutorials, how-to videos, in-house presentation videos, etc then Synthesia output works well. It not only reduces the production time but saves you extra charges for professional background setup, hiring actors, etc. 

Do not create videos from it where real human involvement is highly essential.

• Access to 40+ avatars to create realistic AI videos
• Option to allow digital characters to sit at your own uploaded videos
• The ability to create and use your own avatars to make videos

2. Second, enter your script for your video
3. Third, generate your video and then translate, download, or stream it

Here’s the example of an AI video created by Synthesia;

Pros and Cons of Synthesia AI

Pros of Synthesia:

Cons of Synthesia:

• There are a few AI avatars that don’t l sound and feel natural

Synthesia Pricing

Synthesia offers the following two pricing plans starting from $30 per month. Compared to Invideo, it is going to cost more for your pocket. The Personal plan might not work for you because it only includes 10 video credits. But you can always have a “custom pricing” plan to meet your custom requirements.

Plan	Price	AI Generation	Generative Credits
Free	$0/mo	3 minutes of video/month	0

5. Lumen5

Lumen5 is an excellent online tool for creating AI videos. Over 800,000 people are using Lumen5 to create professional video content. It is usually preferred by social media marketers or bloggers because of the fast video production benefit and support of multiple aspect ratios.

The best part about it is that it’s really easy to use and you don’t need any special video editing skills. You can create videos from scratch, or create videos in minutes with the assistance of artificial intelligence. 

Key features of Lumen5 text-to-video AI

• Drag and drop video templates
• Content library with millions of stock photos & videos
• Create unlimited videos
• Custom colors & styles
• 1080p video resolution
• Upload watermarks & fonts 
• Upload your own videos & photos

Experience with Lumen5 Text-to-Video Process

I really like Lumen5 upto the point where I get the desired templates for converting my blog posts into short videos. It has only 30 universal templates which support the aspect ratio of all popular platforms (Pinterest, Facebook, YouTube, etc).

So my advice is to check their templates list in the free version before opting for the paid plans.

The transition styles, callout styles, automated captions, and simpler user interface are the main reasons I was able to generate my video in just 5 minutes. Yes, my text-based blog post is ready to upload on Pinterest & social media platforms in video format in such a short span of time.

If you’re interested in having a look at Lumen5 AI video output, here you go. I created this amazing Pinterest video from my blog post text script.

The final takeaway for Lumen5 from my side is, Just sign up for the tool and if you feel you have enough templates, go for it. Either ignore it. Invideo.io offers more templates and you can totally consider it as well.

Here’s how it works;

• Enter a script or text
• Lumen5 will automatically find the perfect audio and visuals based on the script
• Upload your logo, music, custom text, etc
• Download and share the video

You can also choose a blog post to turn into an amazing video. Here’s a quick video tutorial showing how Lumen5 works;

Cons:

• Sometimes it takes too long to render and export videos 
• You cannot get 1080p resolution in Lumen5 starting plans

Lumen5 Pricings

All plans offer the benefit of unlimited video export but 1080p render is only available in 3 plans which means the Basic plan is useless. Plus the majority of high end essential features such as custom templates, custom fonts, and translations can only be found in expensive plans.

Plan	Price	AI Generation	Generative Credits
Community	$0 forever	2 minutes of video/month	0
Basic	$19/month	10 minutes per video	20 minutes
Starter	$59/month	10 minutes per video	60 minutes
Professional	$149/month	10 minutes per video	180 minutes
Enterprise	Custom	Custom	Custom
