Templates that turn photos into video
Animoto is the drag-and-drop end of video making: pick a template, drop in photos or clips, and it cuts them to a licensed track. Nobody is editing a documentary in it. It exists for the promo, the recap and the listing tour that would otherwise never get made, and the free plan stamps a watermark on whatever comes out.
Our note
Canva does much of this and a great deal more for similar money when video is one part of a wider design job. Animoto is the better answer when the output is video and only video, and speed is the whole point.

Text and graphics laid over video
Typito is for putting text and graphics on top of video: lower thirds, captions, titles that match a brand rather than a preset. It is a browser tool aimed at marketers instead of editors, so the templates carry most of the design decisions. Export duration is what the plans meter, and the free one gives you thirty minutes a month.
Our note
The export minute allowance matters more than the price on this one, and the free tier's thirty minutes goes quickly. Kapwing costs about the same and does more, so pick Typito when the typography is the job.
