The verdict
Which one should you pick?
InVideo AI
Pick it for
- Short social, ad and explainer videos built from generated clips, stock and talking-head footage
- Cutting talking-head, podcast and multicam recordings: silences, filler, angle switching and chapters
- Editors who want an AI first pass and then finish in Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve
Stands out
- The AI works on a real multitrack timeline, and every edit it makes can be adjusted by hand afterwards.
- Exports an editable project to Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve with cuts and layers intact, so the AI cut can move into a finishing workflow.
Watch out
- Credits are per seat and do not roll over to the next month
- Seedance 2.0 at 4K and Seedance 2.5 are only on Plus and Max; Starter gets Seedance 2.0 Fast and Mini
Midjourney
Pick it for
- Concept art, key art and look development for features and series
- Storyboard frames and mood boards where the look matters more than shot control
- Client-confidential previs on Pro or Mega using Stealth mode
Stands out
- Stealth mode on Pro and Mega keeps confidential client and NDA work out of the public gallery, which the tools above do not offer on an equal basis.
- Consistent, art-directed default look across prompts with the V8.2 personalization profile, which is trained on your ratings rather than a LoRA you build.
Watch out
- No free trial
- Video is still the 2025 V1 image-to-video model, with no text-to-video or audio
Adobe Premiere Pro
Pick it for
- Broadcast and streaming episode editing with Lumetri and Essential Sound delivery
- Agency and corporate work that needs Creative Cloud handoffs (After Effects, Audition, Frame.io)
- Multicam documentary and event edits where Multicam auto-sync saves hours
Stands out
- Only mainstream NLE where Firefly, Veo, Kling and Luma generation sits inside the timeline, with the sequence as reference for the new clip
- Generative Extend works on the broadest source range in the category (360p to 4K UHD, interlaced and non-square pixels included)
Watch out
- Subscription only, and the price moves: the single app is $22.99/mo on an annual plan with a first-year promo for new users, while the All Apps tier is $69.99 list
- Generated clips add credit cost and depend on partner-model availability by region and plan
Recraft
Pick it for
- Title cards, logos and lower-third graphics that must scale without quality loss
- Production-design concept boards and set-dressing mockups for a film or series
- Icon and graphic systems for a festival, studio or film brand
Stands out
- Native SVG output from the same prompt box as raster images; most image generators only output PNG or JPEG
- Vector Editor in Studio lets you adjust AI-made SVG paths and colors without a round trip to Illustrator or Figma
Watch out
- Free tier is for personal use only; outputs are public and not licensed for commercial use
- Video is third-party models inside Studio, not Recraft's own model, and is not available through the API
