Invideo Alternative Wander

About a year ago I was helping a friend launch a faceless YouTube channel about obscure historical inventions. He had a solid script and a decent voiceover, but the editing tools he tried either slapped a giant watermark on his video or demanded a credit card before he could see if the export even looked good. That search for a clean, free entry point into video creation is exactly why I started testing InVideo alternatives in earnest. InVideo itself is a capable platform.
