InVideo alternative: your story animated, not just any video
InVideo is a general purpose AI video maker: describe a video and it assembles a script, media, a voiceover and music that you refine in its editor. Rewatch does one job: it turns an idea into a vertical story where characters keep the same face, speak with their own voice and act out every scene.
An all purpose video maker vs a story studio
Both start from a prompt. InVideo gives you a draft to shape in an editor, for almost any kind of video. Rewatch gives you a story to approve, then a fully animated 9:16 video.

Making a video with Rewatch

Start from a sentence, a script or a link
Write a premise, paste dialogue to be spoken word for word, or drop a TikTok link to remake it.
- 02
Check the plot and the cast first
