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!

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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### 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!

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.

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.

Thanks You Pictory & team #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The text to Video generator is amazing. I am not good in editing, so pictory takes care of that part too. I am making videos bcz of the simplicity of pictory. There are lots of customization in terms of background and text have come up. also every month something or other thing is adding to the arsenal. #### Cons I think the processing and adding voice overs takes time. it should be optimized for faster & better process. Also there should be option for division of screen of a slide in multiple parts or there must be some sort of arrangement where multiple parts or views of different things can be presented in a single slide. in text a sound must be added for type writer setting, Also there should be a option for text highlight option if using some text in the form of a picture or poster from outside sources. the duration of video in basic plans must be increased to 15minutes. There should be some separate plans for people like me, who cannot utilise all the videos of a plan like 20, 30 etc. #### Vendor response It's awesome to hear that Pictory is making video creation a success for you, especially with the text-to-video generator and the constant updates.

No incentive was offered My goal was simple. I have a hit podcast with high levels of audio production and great content. I wanted to move that to video and YouTube, but its daily and at least for the conceivable future will not earn money. So I needed a quick way to construct a video to augment the audio, but it has to look professional and have excellent graphics. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It's the ease of use and speed with which it produces a quality product. I don't have time to learn all of the mechanics of editing and production with a new tool. It automates the whole process, but it looks great. #### Cons There are a couple of things about it that are problematic or not as easy. I find placing your own text on a scene (or slide) is workable but not easy. I've made some mistakes that took time to fix. I wish the branding elements were as easy and as creative as the rest. #### Reasons for choosing Pictory I check out reviews to save time. This software was highly thought of by at least one intelligent reviewer. #### Vendor response Hey Jim, thanks for the kudos!

When properly functioning, it is a very basic and servicable option. #### Cons Pictory operates as if its under a beta testing mode. Randomly, you'll experience site failures and inconsistencies. For the past 2 weeks, the video generation option has been down. No word (literally) on its status changing.Audio / Voice over upload to text is off. A 5 min audio, read from a script, will generate an 8-10 min video - which results in unnecessary time spent editing.Some of their background music does not pass Youtube copyright claims - meaning you get a strike, not a copyright claim with approved use.I could go on ... #### Vendor response Hello David, we take your feedback seriously, especially regarding your experience with our platform's performance and communication.

Replied December 2023 --- ### A Vidnami REPLACEMENT in the making - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Publishing - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: July 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered The major problem Pictory solves was the amount of time wasted having to first identify the main keywords of my blog post and then locate videos in stock websites that match the keywords. I will then have to copy the content from my blog post into a text to speech SaaS and then export to my computer and import to Davinci resolve to a timeline. I will then have to upload the stock videos to Davinci Resolve and then trim to match the specific sentence. The entire process takes almost an hour. Although, with Pictory, the process takes less than 20 minutes tops. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros - Ease of Use when selecting videos to match text - Fairly accurate transcription - Good feature set. Pictory UI is very intuitive. I was able to easily jump in and use the Article to Video module for my existing blog posts. The Ai b-roll video selection isn't the best but the ability to perform a refined search for a replacement video was easy. The additional tweaking necessary to create a usable video still requires less time, then having to manually go to a stock video website download the asset, then import to a video editing program and then match with a specific sentence. The edit videos with voice using text feature is amazing. The ability to quickly edit out all the filler words is amazing. The cut is a little abrupt, but it's better than hearing the filler word. I was also able to trim down an existing video asset to include only highlights at record time. Before, I had to remember certain sections of the video to cut. Now, I can easily skim through the script and highlight the key talking points in the video and voilà, done and done. I love it. #### Cons - Filler word cut out is abrupt - Limited number of usable Ai text to speech voices - Inability to use pre-recorded voice over for all slides. (I currently have to use another text to speech software for each slide) this just takes too long. I ended up just using Pictory text to speech voice out of frustration. At least there is one usable voice that doesn't sound too robotic. #### Vendor response Thanks for your feedback. We're constantly working to improve, and your insights are super helpful.
