Can AI create custom video effects without me writing code?
Last updated September 30, 2026
Yes. The invideo agent inside invideo Editor can handle the technical work of building a custom effect from your description, including shader-based effects. You direct the look and refine the result without writing the effect code yourself.
For example, you could request: “Create a fisheye distortion with stronger bending at the edges, and give me controls for strength and where the distortion is centred.”
The agent builds the effect and can respond to revisions such as softening the centre or changing how quickly distortion increases towards the corners. You can then use the exposed controls to finish the treatment manually.
This is useful when a preset does not give you the behaviour you want, but building the effect yourself would require technical work. The available controls depend on the effect created; describe the adjustments you expect to need as part of your request.
