Many Use Cases

Fantastic product! I am very impressed.

PROS

I like that it replaces many of the other software in my workflow. I don't need an Otter.ai subscription anymore or a Descript subscription. It fills those gaps. It also has an AI video creator that lets me create many videos for social media based on my existing blog content.

CONS

I wish there was more control in the Script to Video portion of the program to edit the subtitles. As an example, it could decide to put "The Weber BBQ grill is the best on the market. We thought that it..." on one line. I might want to split it at the period and put the "We thought that it..." on the next line, but it's very time-consuming to do this now. The other thing I think needs improvement is a voiceover for the entire video and not just on a scene-by-scene basis. I would like both options.

Reasons for switching to Pictory

Pictory does what Otter.ai does, and a whole lot more!

The Fastest Video Production Tool on the Planet!

They have a great Facebook group and they roll new features all the time!I love getting a Pictory update email and seeing what new cutting edge features they released and watching the really helpful tutorial videos that always accompany the new features.It is so easy to use. There is zero learning curve. It has made me so much more presentable via video because I typically use a lot of filler words like umm, so, right?, etc. Pictory deletes these with the flip of a toggle. I feel so much more confident with my video content because of these features.

PROS

Being able to cut out text from transcription of my recording and the video deleting that exact scene instantly is so amazing. It save soooo much time.

CONS

I'd love to see them amp up their folders / video organization system. It is a little tough to navigate your files at a glance and I'd love a sub folder feature.

Reasons for switching to Pictory

Pictory is better priced for what you get.Invideo and Canva are basically the same. Pictory has editing tools that no other software has to my knowledge.

Vendor Response

Hey Michael, glad to know Pictory is helping you create confident, efficient video content! Your input on improving our folder organization is noted and valuable. Feel free to share more ideas at https://feedback.pictory.ai/roadmap. Thanks for being with us!

Beware! They are a bunch of thieves!

CONS

EVERYTHING! Horrible! I bought a subscription. After I bought a subscription, I cannot log in at all! It keeps saying, "Subscription not found." I tried to contact support and they have NOT been helpful at all. They take your money but don't give you any support. They are happy to take your money but don't provide any support!

Vendor Response

I'm liking it so far!

So far it has been great! I understand that AI is not totally perfect and needs just a little help here and there when it does not match things up exactly perfect, but for the most part it does great at clip selection!

PROS

The learning curve on how to use it is pretty quick. Most of the features are amazing and work for the most part as advertised.

CONS

During video editing you can't see the waveform of the sound in the video to know where to trim it! It would be great to be able to see that in order to edit the clips better!

Reasons for switching to Pictory

Filmora is a great product with awesome features! BUT, I just didn't want to spend so much time editing videos! So, I came to Pictory in hopes of streamlining editing process!

Vendor Response

Hey Steven! Really happy to hear you're finding Pictory to your liking and that the switch from Filmora is paying off in terms of saving you some precious editing time. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and sticking with us as we work on making Pictory even better. If there's anything else you need or if you want to share more insights, don't hesitate to reach out at support@pictory.ai.
