What invideo is
invideo is an AI video creation tool: you describe what you want and it builds and edits a video, often from stock footage, voiceover and text. That's a different job from editing your own recording. It's closer to a generator than a traditional editor.
Where invideo is the better choice
- Faceless videos built from a script.
- Fast drafts for explainers and promos.
- No camera or filming needed.
Where DoneEdit is the better choice
- Your face and voice on camera, which builds trust for coaches and founders.
- Real footage edited, not generated.
- A person checks the edit.
What DoneEdit is (and isn't)
DoneEdit is a done-for-you editing service run by Vadim Soin. You send one raw talking-head video and get back a finished edit with captions, punch-in zooms, b-roll and music within 48 hours. AI does the repetitive work and a person checks the result. Two revisions are included, and if the second revision still misses, you get a refund. Files are deleted after 30 days.
It's deliberately narrow: one English speaker, up to 10 minutes of raw footage and up to 5 finished minutes. It doesn't edit multi-speaker podcasts or long-form videos. The founding price is $27 per video for the first 20 customers, then $67, with thumbnails for +$10. DoneEdit is new, so we don't publish customer results yet.
Worked example
A course creator might use invideo for short promo explainers built from text, and DoneEdit for the lessons and welcome videos they film themselves. Viewers usually respond differently to a real person explaining something than to generated visuals, so match the tool to the purpose of the video.
Generated or filmed: which video is this?
invideo builds videos from prompts. That's a different starting point from DoneEdit, which only edits footage you've filmed. Before choosing, sort your planned videos into two piles:
- Videos that need your face and voice, such as coaching, founder updates, course lessons and sales videos where trust matters.
- Videos that don't, such as quick explainers, list videos and promos where visuals and a script carry the message.
The first pile is DoneEdit's job. The second is where invideo saves you from filming at all.
Checking an AI-generated draft
If you use invideo, review its output the way you'd review an editor's work. Is every claim in the script accurate? Do the visuals match what's being said? Does the voice suit your brand? Do you have the rights to use the result where you plan to publish? Generated videos can look finished while saying something slightly off, so read the script before you look at the visuals.
With DoneEdit the content is whatever you said on camera. The edit adds captions, zooms, b-roll and music, and a person checks it before it's delivered.
A simple rule for mixing both
Some creators use both, and a simple rule keeps it clear: if the viewer needs to trust you, film it; if they just need the information, generate it.
- Course welcome video, sales page video, client update: film it, and have DoneEdit edit it.
- "5 tips" explainer for social, a feature overview, an internal how-to: invideo can build it from a script.
Either way, write the script carefully. Generated video will say exactly what the prompt says, and an edit of your footage can only polish what you recorded.
Decision checklist
- No footage and want a video from a script? invideo.
- Filmed yourself and want it finished? DoneEdit.
- Want both? Use each for different videos.
Bottom line
invideo is the better fit when you want a video without filming, built from a prompt or script. DoneEdit is the better fit when you've filmed yourself and want that footage finished. Many creators use generated videos for quick explainers and filmed, edited videos for anything where their own credibility is the point.
