An InVideo alternative built for storytelling

InVideo is built for assembling videos from templates and existing media. TrendStory starts somewhere else: you don't edit footage, you tell a story with characters that are yours.

InVideo is a solid tool for turning text or a media library into a video using templates. It works well for informational or promotional content built around visuals you already have.

TrendStory serves a different need: creating an original story, with characters that come back from one video to the next. You're not looking for a template or stock footage — you describe an idea, and TrendStory writes the script, generates the images, animates the scenes and assembles everything.

If you make TikTok series, faceless channels, or narrative content with recurring characters, this starting point changes everything: nothing to film, nothing to search for in a library, just an idea to tell.

How it works

Describe your story

One sentence is enough. Pick a visual universe and add your characters, created once and reused everywhere.

TrendStory generates everything

Script, images for every scene, animation, subtitles and music. No media to upload.

Post your video

Download the file in vertical 9:16 or 16:9, and post it on TikTok, Instagram or YouTube.

What TrendStory does differently

No media library to search

No hunting for a clip or image that fits your story. Everything is generated to match your idea.

Characters that come back

Create a character once, and it keeps the same face across every future video — essential for a series.

The script is written for you

You don't need a ready-made script. TrendStory writes it from a simple starting idea.

Animated subtitles included

Generated and synced automatically, with styles designed to hold attention on mobile.

Several AI video models

Veo 3.1, Seedance 2, Grok Imagine and more, picked per video or even per scene in Studio mode.

A chat mode to create

TrendStory's AI agent asks the right questions and launches the creation for you.

Who this alternative is for

InVideo remains a great choice if you start from a text, an article, or your own media and want a fast template-based edit. TrendStory is built for something else: producing an original story, with consistent characters, without any raw material to bring.

If you make narrative series, recurring-character content, or TikTok videos that tell something rather than inform, TrendStory saves you the longest step: finding or creating the visuals.

Frequently asked questions

Does TrendStory fully replace InVideo?
It depends on your use case. If you edit videos from existing media or templates, InVideo remains relevant. If you want to create original stories with characters, TrendStory is built for that from the ground up.
Do I need to bring my own images or footage?
No. TrendStory generates everything: the script, the images for every scene, and the video animation. You don't need any starting media.
Can I create recurring characters?
Yes, that's the core of TrendStory. A character created once keeps the same face and style across every following video, which is what makes a real series possible.
Which video formats are available?
Vertical 9:16 by default, made for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, plus 16:9 for YouTube.
Do I need video editing skills?
No. There is no editing software to learn. You describe your idea, the AI generates and assembles the video. Studio mode lets you fine-tune every scene if you want more control.
How much does TrendStory cost?
TrendStory works with a monthly subscription that includes credits, with no commitment — you can cancel anytime. Plan details are on the Pricing page.
