Best for explainers, thought leadership, and done-for-me videos with real-world assets, AI motion graphics, and strong hooks.
You want end-to-end automation, stronger publishable output quality, real-world assets, integrated research and scripting, and longer multi-scene explainers - all from a single prompt.
You need a prompt-based video assembler for quick social media clips, UGC-style ad creatives from product URLs, budget-friendly stock footage videos, or access to multiple generative AI models (Sora, Veo, Kling).
Biggest difference: Agent Opus is an autonomous video agent that produces finished, visually rich content from a topic. InVideo is a prompt-to-stock-footage assembler - it matches keywords to clips and stitches them together. One creates; the other curates.

Five capabilities that separate Agent Opus from avatar-first tools.
Agent Opus produces broadcast-grade explainers with real b-roll, data overlays, and motion graphics. InVideo assembles stock footage matched by keyword and adds transitions. For content that needs to look originally produced rather than compiled from a stock library, Agent Opus leads.
Agent Opus runs an AI agent pipeline: research, script, voice, visuals, edit, export. InVideo requires 5-10 generation attempts to get acceptable results, then iterative prompt-based editing through the Magic Box. If your bottleneck is iteration fatigue, Agent Opus delivers on the first pass.
Agent Opus reads URLs, PDFs, and data to generate accurate scripts with citations. InVideo can extract content from URLs but does not independently research topics or fact-check. For teams that need AI to do the heavy lifting on research, Agent Opus is built for it.
Agent Opus supports multi-scene narratives (3 to 15+ minutes) with pacing controls. InVideo's script input caps at 50 lines per generation with monthly minute limits (50-200 min). If you publish in-depth explainers or long-form content, Agent Opus handles the structure natively.
Agent Opus layers kinetic text, icon animations, chart builds, and transition effects throughout every video. InVideo relies on stock footage with basic transitions and preset effects. For channels that need original motion graphics rather than assembled stock clips, Agent Opus fits better.
Where InVideo has the edge
InVideo is the better pick when you need quick, budget-friendly social media clips from stock footage, UGC-style ad creatives generated from product page URLs, or access to multiple generative AI video models (Sora 2, Veo 3.1, Kling) within one platform.
