Many Use Cases
Fantastic product! I am very impressed.
PROSI 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.
CONSI 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

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.
PROSBeing 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.
CONSI'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!

I absolutely love and recommend Pictory
I absolutely love it. I even asked them to be an affiliate because I wish to recommend it for all my subscribers and followers.
PROSI like how easy it is to turn my articles into video. The overall selection of videos is good, and the realistic voices are quite good.
CONSI would like it to have an option to place the whole music as "main character", for background music and subliminal affirmations kinds of video. The "main character" for now, is the text/voiceover, so I need to come up with some tricks to come around it, like repeating the same video many times to fill the music length.
Reasons for switching to Pictory
I still use Canva for graphic designs, but not for videos anymore. It was tiring and it took me a lot of time to find the best stock videos.
Vendor Response
Hey Ursulla, So glad you're loving Pictory for turning articles into videos. Appreciate the feedback on wanting more control over music in your projects. It's awesome you're recommending us as well.

Makes Video Creation a Breeze
I can produce several YouTube videos or marketing videos per day. A life changer for me!
PROSJust 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.
CONSSometimes 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.
Reason 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.

A real multimedia assistant
I was using Vidnami for my video creation until they disappeared... Pictory was very clever to see there was a place to be taken, and it was indeed! At first, the app was buggy and basic, but it evolved fast, listening to the users advice. If a company listens to its customers, it is generally a sign of quality and confidence. I don't regret my investment when the company was a small startup.
PROSPictory is very easy to use and produces high-quality videos. The product is continuously evolving. To create videos from a script, there is nothing as easy.
CONSSincerely, I love this product so much that I cannot see any cons.
Reasons for switching to Pictory
GoDaddy bought Vidnami in 2021 and shut down the app.

From zero to awesome videos in minutes - Awesome product
Highly recommended. I have tired most similar products, and this is my favourite
PROSPictory allows you to make super professional videos in a short time, and without you needing to be a video editing expert. my favourite feature is the auto-voiceover. just write the script you want, and choose from the library of voice overs. amazing
CONSI hope they continue to extend the media libraries further. the content is great but more options would be better.

Its great
Pictory.AI is solving a number of problems for me when it comes to managing visual content. One of the biggest challenges I face is the sheer volume of images and videos that I need to sort through and organize, which can be a time-consuming and tedious process. With Pictory.AI's image recognition technology, I can quickly and easily tag and categorize my visual content, making it much easier to find what I need when I need it. This has not only saved me a lot of time, but it has also improved my productivity and allowed me to focus on other important tasks.In addition, Pictory.AI's technology has also helped me to improve the accuracy and consistency of my image tagging, reducing the risk of errors and improving the overall quality of my visual content. This has been particularly beneficial for my e-commerce business, where accurate product recognition and tagging is essential for a seamless customer experience. Overall, Pictory.AI has been a valuable tool for streamlining my workflow, improving my efficiency, and ultimately helping me to provide better service to my customers.
PROSI've been using Pictory.AI for a few months now, and I'm really impressed with how accurate and reliable the image recognition technology is. It makes it so much easier to quickly sort through large volumes of visual content and find what I'm looking for. I also appreciate how customizable the platform is, allowing me to tailor the tagging and categorization options to my specific needs. Overall, Pictory.AI has been a valuable tool for streamlining my workflow and improving my efficiency.
CONSWhile I really like using Pictory.AI, there have been a few instances where the image recognition hasn't been as precise as I would like. For example, sometimes it struggles to accurately identify specific objects or scenes within an image, which can lead to some incorrect or incomplete tags. However, this has only been a minor issue, and overall I'm still very satisfied with the performance of the platform

Once Pictory is Perfected, it Will Change Content Creation
I like that there are not too many (if any) other systems that do what Pictory does. The unique feature is stock videos based on written script or speech and this could be amazing for content creators.
CONSOften the stock images feel lazy. For example, I was testing it out and the sentence was “beagles come from ancient times, serving as one of the oldest dog breeds in the world.” And instead of focusing on beagles, they showed ancient Greeks. Close, but no cigar. And often they were just showing other dog breeds, so for example “beagles are friendly dogs.” The feature just focused on the word dogs, making it essentially pointless for my faux project. It is also capped if you pay a staggering $40 a month…? Capped on a payment plan is CRAZY.
