InShot alternative
InShot alternative for the part InShot cannot do: the footage
InShot is a great phone editor. Pixel Dojo makes what goes into it: talking clips, b roll and covers from a prompt, plus auto captions and vertical reframes, each priced before you generate.
Most people searching for an InShot alternative do not need a new editor. They need something to edit. We made a vertical cooking tip with speech, captioned it, reframed a wide market shot to 9:16 and added b roll, all without a camera.
30 credits ($1.88) per 5 s clip at 720p with audio. Included in every plan, from $10/month.

B roll and covers for your next reel
Every clip and image below was made on Pixel Dojo with the prompt shown.
A vertical shop opening shot on Veo 3.1 Lite for 6 credits.
Vertical slow pan along a bakery window at dawn as a baker in her fifties slides a tray of cinnamon buns onto the display shelf, a little steam on the glass, warm light spilling onto the empty street, the soft clatter of the tray.
Slow, satisfying b roll on Kling 3.0 Standard with sound built in.
Vertical overhead shot of hands folding a paper boat from a page of sheet music and setting it on a rain puddle on a cobbled street, ripples spreading as it drifts, soft overcast light, paper crinkle and gentle rain drips.
The cover image for the onion tip, on Nano Banana 2.1 for 1.5 credits.
Vertical cover photo for a cooking video: an open glass jar of bright pink pickled red onions on a wooden board beside three soft tacos, overhead view, bright natural light, empty space at the top of the frame.
A vertical kitchen moment on WAN 3.0 with sound built in, for 10 credits.
Vertical close up of a cook in his forties flipping a golden pancake high out of a cast iron skillet in a sunny kitchen, the pancake turning in slow motion and landing back in the pan, a sizzle and a soft thump.
The counter take: you may not need to leave InShot
InShot is a mobile editor and video maker for iOS and Android with a 4.8 rating from about 2.5 million ratings on the App Store. Its own listing names auto captions, AI text to speech, AI effects and AI Cut, which removes silences and filler words.
Trimming, music, transitions and quick exports on a phone are what InShot does well, and InShot Pro is cheap. If that is your whole workflow, keep it.
What InShot cannot do is invent the shot you never filmed. That is the gap we fill. Make the talking clip, the b roll and the cover here, then drop them into InShot or any editor you like.
A reel kit made without a camera
Every clip is vertical or reframed to vertical. Each tile shows its model, settings and credits.
Vertical selfie style medium shot in a small apartment kitchen: a man in his thirties with a shaved head and a mustard t shirt holds up a jar of quick pickled red onions and says, "Ten minutes, one jar, every taco night sorted." Warm window light, fridge hum and a jar lid pop.
Wide shot of a flower stall in a covered market in the morning, a florist in her sixties wraps sunflowers in brown paper while shoppers pass behind her, soft daylight through the glass roof, rustling paper and market chatter.
- Seedance 2.5 wrote the voice and the kitchen sound from one prompt, and he speaks the line as written, in a 5 second clip for 30 credits.
- Auto captions transcribed every word, highlighted key words in yellow and burned them in for 5 credits.
- Video Reframe turned the wide WAN 3.0 market shot into a vertical clip that keeps the florist and her sunflowers in frame, for 8 credits.
- The full kit drops straight into InShot or any other editor as normal video files.
