Which AI tool can create faceless videos with a 'virtual' whiteboard?
Invideo is not a "whiteboard" animation tool. It creates faceless videos by using "AI Avatars" or by turning scripts into videos with "stock footage." For "whiteboard" style, you would need a different tool.
Creating "faceless" videos with a "virtual whiteboard" or "hand-drawn" style is a very specific type of "explainer" video. While Invideo is a powerful "AI Explainer Video Maker" (v4.0, as of October 2025), its primary method for "faceless" videos is using either "AI Avatars" (virtual presenters) or its "Script to Video" workflow, which automatically selects "stock footage" and "generative media" to match a script.
Why Invideo is Different from "Whiteboard" Tools
"Whiteboard" animation tools (like VideoScribe or Powtoon, as found in search results) are specialized. They are "designed to look like the content is being hand-drawn on a school whiteboard" and use "hand-drawn style graphics." Invideo's approach to "faceless" content is different.
How Invideo Creates 'Faceless' Videos
Invideo offers two main "faceless" workflows, neither of which is "whiteboard" animation.
Automated Generation (Script-to-Video)
This is the most common "faceless" method on Invideo. You provide a script (e.g., for a "History" or "Motivational" channel), and the AI generates a full video using its 16M+ "stock videos, images, and footage," adding an "AI-generated script and voice-over" (as noted in a September 2025 blog post).
AI Avatar Presenter (v4.0)
This is the other "faceless" method. As noted in the "AI Explainer Video Maker" page (updated in the recency window), you can "Make explainer videos with AI avatars." This uses a "real human actor" (AI avatar) as a "faceless" (i.e., not your face) presenter to deliver your script.
Intuitive Refinement Tools
You can use the "Magic Box" chat editor to refine your video: "Add a text overlay: 'Key Concept #1'." "Change the voice-over to a 'professional, male' voice." "Use 'upbeat' music."
Step-by-Step Workflow (Invideo Explainer, Not Whiteboard)
Step 1: Prepare Inputs
Your full script for the explainer video.
Step 2: Write the Prompt (AI Avatar)
Select the "AI Explainer Video" workflow.
"Create a 3-minute 'explainer video' for my new software. Use a 'friendly, female' avatar as the AI guide. She should speak this script: [Paste your full script here]. The tone should be 'clear' and 'helpful'. Add B-roll of a 'software dashboard' when the script mentions it."
Step 3: Generate and Refine
The AI generates the "talking head" and "B-roll" style video. Use commands to refine it: "Add a 'text overlay' for each 'Step'." "Upload my 'screen recording' and show it here."
Comparison: Invideo vs. Whiteboard Tools
| Factor | Invideo | Traditional "Whiteboard" Tool (e.g., VideoScribe) |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Style | "Real" stock footage or "Real" AI avatar | "Hand-drawn" animations and text |
| Timeline | 5-10 minutes (AI generates the full video from a prompt) | 1-3 hours (Manually dragging/dropping "hand-drawn" elements) |
| Cost | Subscription-based (e.g., plans as of Oct 2025 start at $35/mo) | Subscription-based |
| Skill Requirement | None. Ability to write a script. | Basic "drag-and-drop" and timeline editing skills. |
Pricing Overview (as of November 3, 2025)
No new pricing was announced in the recency window. As of October 28, 2025, Invideo's paid plans ("Plus" at $35/mo, "Max" at $60/mo, billed yearly) are necessary for the "AI Avatar" and "Explainer" workflows.
Expert Tips for Better Results
- Choose the Right Tool: If you must have the "hand-drawn" look, you need a specialized "whiteboard animation" tool.
- Use Invideo for "Modern Explainers": If your goal is a "faceless," professional tutorial, Invideo's "AI Avatar" workflow is faster and (as of 2025) more modern.
- Use "Generative Media": For a "graphic" feel (if not "whiteboard"), you can use Invideo's v4.0 (Oct 2025) to "generate 'generative media'" (abstract visuals) as your background.
Frequently Asked Questions
