Invideo Launches v4.0 With ‘AI Twins:' Letting Anyone Clone Themselves and Their Products to Create Studio-Quality Videos at Scale
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Invideo, the AI video creation platform used by over 50 million people worldwide, today announced the launch of v4.0 – 'AI Twins' – a major leap in video creation that enables users to clone themselves or their products to generate high-quality video content in minutes. The launch builds on Invideo's core mission to reinvent traditional editing with a faster, AI-first approach powered by Conversational Creation: a fully automated, end-to-end workflow that replaces conventional video tools with natural, text-based intuitive input for video creation and editing. From solo creators to ecommerce brands and marketing agencies, Invideo users can now create polished video content with a personal touch, simply by uploading a thirty-second clip of themselves or pasting a product URL. Share 'Invideo has grown to serve over 50 million users worldwide, with more than 8 million videos created every month – that's 3 videos every second,' said Sanket Shah, founder and CEO of Invideo. 'This kind of momentum only comes from solving real problems, and we're pushing even further with v4.0 and AI Twins. Now anyone can scale their story, their presence, and their brand without the usual barriers of cameras, crews, or big budgets. It's a breakthrough for creators and businesses alike.' From solo creators to ecommerce brands and marketing agencies, Invideo users can now create polished video content with a personal touch, simply by uploading a thirty-second clip of themselves or pasting a product URL. Invideo handles the rest, turning simple text prompts into dynamic, multilingual videos ready to share: authentic, conversion-focused user-generated content, product advertisements, social media reels, reviews, podcasts, and more. While many tools have added AI to existing workflows, these have all been built on traditional editing systems that have barely changed since the 1980s – Invideo is disrupting non-linear editing, which essentially is all the video creation tools in the world. In contrast, Invideo has rebuilt video creation from the ground up with an AI-first approach, and the result is what Invideo calls Conversational Creation: a fully reimagined text-to-video workflow where users generate, edit, and scale content simply by describing what they want. Invideo handles the rest – from scripting to avatars, visuals, voiceovers, and localization — making studio-quality storytelling as easy and intuitive as having a conversation. It's a shift as significant for everyday creators as nonlinear editing once was for filmmakers. 'V4 takes UGC to the next level – it's seamless, intuitive, and surprisingly real,' said Josh from Power AI, a beta user. 'Upload a product, pick a creator, and you've got a scroll-stopping video in minutes. It's the first time I've seen AI feel this natural and this empowering for creators. It's like going from idea to ad in one click – I've never seen that happen before.' 'I have to say, I'm genuinely impressed with Invideo's new UGC video feature,' added another user, Johanne Reumert from She Does AI. 'It was super easy to use — I just dropped in my website link and got three completely different UGC videos back in seconds. One of them felt so natural and authentic, I'd actually stop and watch it as an ad. Compared to other tools I've tried, this was way faster and more intuitive. I can absolutely see myself using this for my own product ads, and I'm excited to dig deeper and share it with my audience.'' Key features in v4.0 include: Personal AI Twin: Users record a short video once to create a lifelike digital version of themselves – including voice, look, and expressions – unlocking video creation across 50+ languages and endless formats and platforms. Product & Brand Twins: Paste a product link or upload photos, and Invideo will generate ad-ready visuals of that item in multiple real-world contexts (e.g., sneakers on a mountain trail or watches at a gala). AI Actor Library: Choose from a diverse library of actors to front your videos – no casting, shipping, or filming required. Each actor is fairly compensated for every use. Looking ahead, Invideo plans to host user meetups across geographies, reflecting their commitment to everyday creators and a global consumer audience. These gatherings will preview new features rolling out in Q3 and Q4, as the company continues advancing its mission: to empower anyone with an idea to bring their stories to life through high-quality, AI-powered video creation. Invideo is an AI-first video creation platform used by over 50 million creators across 196+ countries. With features like text-to-video, automated script writing, AI generated visuals, multilingual avatars, human-like voiceovers, and fully automated editing, Invideo helps creators and businesses scale their stories without the complexity or cost of traditional video production. To date, users have created more than 100 million videos using Invideo, including over 8 million each month. To put that in perspective, Invideo brings three videos into the world every second.

FM: Strengthening V4 cooperation is at the heart of Hungary's foreign policy strategy
Minister Szijjártó said that the recent period had "not been easy" when it came to bolstering V4 cooperation. Péter Szijjártó, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, said that strengthening the Visegrad Group cooperation has always been at the heart of Hungary's foreign policy strategy. Speaking in Bratislava on Tuesday, the foreign minister said there was hope for restoring V4 cooperation, as all countries lost out if the partnership became difficult. During his speech at the closing conference of the V4 Business Forum, Minister Szijjártó said that the recent period had 'not been easy' when it came to bolstering V4 cooperation. Minister Szijjártó said the main reason for this was not disagreements among the governments of Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia, arguing that the grouping's biggest success of getting the European Union to scrap migrant quotas had come at a time when the V4 countries' prime ministers had all belonged to different political families. Minister Szijjártó said the real reason why cooperation had become more difficult was that certain political leaders had 'broken with the past practice' of respecting each other's differences and instead focusing on areas that offer mutual benefits. He said the difficulties in V4 cooperation had led to the grouping losing out on many opportunities and growth potential. 'And I think this doesn't just go against our national interests, but also those of the V4 countries,' he added. Minister Szijjártó thanked those who had kept the alliance alive despite the political difficulties, including the business players 'who have represented common sense and rationality'. He said the stronger the V4 was the better it was for everyone, noting that for the first time last year, Czechia, Poland and Slovakia were all among Hungary's top five trading partners. The minister said that though the last several years had been 'all about crises', central Europe had emerged stronger from them. 'The stronger and closer our cooperation, and the less we ideologise and politicise economic ties, the greater chance we have to be among the strongest players of the next world political and economic era,' he added. He said the V4's combined annual GDP of 500 billion dollars would put the grouping in 16th place in a global ranking. 'This means that if we were a single country, we'd be a member of the G20,' he added. Meanwhile, he said only Germany's annual trade turnover exceeded the V4's 1,600 US dollars in the EU, adding that trade between Germany and the V4 was double the trade volume between Germany and France. Minister Szijjártó said he was hopeful about the future of the V4, particularly in light of Poland's recent presidential election and projections for Czechia's upcoming elections.

The Honor Magic V5 is likely coming next month, will be under 9mm thick
The race is on – multiple makers will be competing to make the thinnest foldable smartphone this year. And Honor exec Li Kun set the challenge, saying that the 'Honor will still be the lightest and thinnest'. This refers to the Honor Magic V5 (it won't be called the V4). How thin? Well, all that we know officially about it is that it will launch by the end of next month. Turning to rumors, the Honor Magic V5 will allegedly measure 8.x millimeters when closed. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 will measure 8.9mm, according to Ice Universe, so it will be down to tenths of a millimeter. For reference, the Honor Magic V3 is 9.2mm. Honor Magic V5 (MBH-AN10) details on TENAA 5,950mAh battery (compared to 5,150mAh on the V3) with 66W charging, which is confirmed by TENAA details. Further details posted by Experience More promise a Snapdragon 8 Elite inside the V5 (the 8-core version). The phone will be available in Silk Road Dunhuang (should be a warm, earthy tone) and Velvet Black. BeiDou satellite messaging will allegedly be supported. Since we haven't heard anything about a big Honor event in the next couple of weeks, the Magic V5 will likely come out next month. The Z Fold7 is expected in July, by the way.
