No incentive was offered Pictory is part of the overall package of programs I use to create videos. I start with Pictory to get the base slide graphics, animated graphics and on-screen titles. I use HeyGen to create the talking-head spokesman videos. Then I bring everything together using Wondershare Filmora which has really gotten very sophisticated for the low cost. I supplement the presentation with graphics and additional video from Canva. It's a dynamite combination. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros You just paste your script and it selects the videos and the music. There is a TON of high-quality music and videos to choose from, and it's all included in the program which sells at a very affordable price. #### Cons It's doesn't create "talking head" videos. By that I mean having an AI-generated spokesperson reading the script. That would be the only thing I would like to see added. #### Reasons for choosing Pictory I still use HeyGen and Canva, but they are supplemental to Pictory. HumanPal was too fake looking, also tried Reals.ai, Yepic and others. I like the speed, wide range of music and top-quality graphics, animations and videos on Pictory. #### Reasons for switching to Pictory Pictory is more affordable month-to-month. It's all about performance and value, and even though D-ID is very good, Pictory and my other programs do just as good a job at a lower price point. #### Vendor response Thanks for stopping by and leaving such a great review! It’s fantastic that Pictory is an essential part of your workflow, and that you’re finding the selection of music and videos both high-quality and affordable. Your idea for a “talking head” video feature is interesting we could definitely add this to our platform. Why not drop this suggestion on our roadmap at https://feedback.pictory.ai/roadmap? We’d love to see what else you might have in mind! Replied April 2024 --- ### Makes Video Creation a Breeze - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Barry C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Professional Training & Coaching - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: August 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I can produce several YouTube videos or marketing videos per day. A life changer for me! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Just paste the text from your story or blog, etc. Pictory creates the video from there. They add appropriate video segments with captions from your story or articles. They add the music automatically, but you can choose something different if you wish. They give you many voiceovers to choose from. #### Cons Sometimes the video segments they choose aren't quite right, so you have to go through their library to find a better one, but that doesn't happen often. #### Reasons for choosing Pictory Better media library and more intuitive process. #### Reasons for switching to Pictory Canva doesn't have voiceovers with a click of the mouse. Pictory video creation is faster. #### Vendor response Hey Barry, thanks for your kind words! It's great to hear how Pictory is enhancing your video creation process. We're constantly working to improve our media library and make things smoother. For sharing ideas and tips, do join our creators' Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/863439644603943.

They are a bunch of thieves! - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Rajat S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Consumer Services - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: January 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### 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 Hi Rajat, we're really sorry to hear about your negative experience. It's important for us to address your concerns promptly. We'd like to understand more about the issues you faced and work on resolving them.

Replied December 2023 --- ### Many Use Cases - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Matthew Z. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: July 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Fantastic product! I am very impressed. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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! #### Vendor response Hi Matthew! It's great to hear that Pictory is optimizing your software tools in terms of time and cost. Thank you for your feedback about the Script to Video editing and voiceover options.
