I absolutely love it. I even asked them to be an affiliate because I wish to recommend it for all my subscribers and followers. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I 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. #### Cons I 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.

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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Pictory is very easy to use and produces high-quality videos. The product is continuously evolving.

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!

Replied August 2024 --- ### 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.

I love the ease and speed with which videos can be created with Pictory. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I just input the text, and the software will select the videos for me and caption them. I just need to spend some time editing the videos for some scenes and also splitting scenes when there's too much text on a particular scene. The recent collaboration with ElevenLabs and Getty Images has boosted the quality of the videos. #### Cons The auto voice generator can often mispronounce certain terms. Also the limit is videos of 20 minutes. #### Reasons for choosing Pictory It was on a LTD on AppSumo and got a medium tier. #### Vendor response Hi there, thank you for your review! It's great to hear that you find Pictory simple to use and that it is saving you time. Thank you for your feedback about the voice generator, we are constantly working on new updates to improve!

We needed several new product marketing videos turned around fast and with a limited budget and effort. Pictory got us about 90% of the way there fairly easily and quickly. It gave us a great approach to bringing words to life so, we're hooked. If you have a big budget, this isn't for you, and the quality of your video will depend on you, it's garbage in, garbage out. If your sense of taste is all in your mouth, you'll probably want to get someone else to use this for you. I recently saw a truly horrific promo webinar that used it where it had no artistic sense. But that wasn't Pictory's fault... #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The way Pictory turns your script into a pretty usable video with little effort or investment in time. #### Cons Functionality in some areas is still basic but serviceable. #### Vendor response Thanks for stopping by and leaving such a great review!

Overall, I love this software. It makes it very easy to create wonderful videos. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I really love the great job you and your team have done on creating a wonderful platform on which to create amazing videos. I have a new YouTube Channel called "Poetry in Motion" (see link below). So far, I have created 88 YouTube videos and YouTube shorts that "bring to life" some of the many poems I have written. I started this channel about 4 weeks ago, and already I have over 17,000 subscribers. I love the number of videos that I have to choose from in your video library, and the choices of background music are awesome. Your AI voice library is great, but I do wish you offered more Eleven Labs options. #### Cons There seem to be some "bugs" in the logic that controls frame lengths. When I make a change to the length of a given frame, the software seems to change the length of other frames. Also, when I position the cursor on a given frame, and then go to the video library to select a scene, the position of the frame I originally selected is changed to another frame. I have to always double check which frame I am on. #### Vendor response Hi David, Great to hear about "Poetry in Motion" and how Pictory has been part of your journey. Hitting over 17,000 subscribers in just a month is seriously impressive! Keep up the great work with your videos, and thanks for sharing your journey with us!

Easy to use for uploading and using my own voice over tracks. #### Cons Sometimes the clips the system brings in are just not right. Then it takes some time to change out the clips before creating the video. I had a few issues to start with and the response time to my emails was slow. It would be nice to have a support chat that works in real time. #### Vendor response Hi Jeff, Thanks for your feedback. It's great to know you find Pictory easy to use with its quick processing and wide range of clips. Sorry about the mismatched clips, we're constantly improving our AI to better match clips with content. Your suggestion for real-time support chat is noted, were currently exploring it.

No incentive was offered We're using more and more video in my organization, and Pictory is the easiest tool we've found to create short, friendly video content with the least possible effort. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I used it primarily for text to video in a corporate setting. The UI is very intuitive and easy to use. Pictory selected a wide range of clips that aligned with my text, and these were most often usable without changes. I replaced a few of the clips and images with my own media, and this process was quick and easy. If you're looking for a simple way to create videos, without learning high-end production software, Pictory is the best option I've found. #### Cons The AI generated voices were better than some, but I felt it was obvious that they were AI. This won't work in my particular environment, so I uploaded my own audio. This was simple, and the audio synced well with the text and video. #### Vendor response Great to hear Pictory is a top pick for your video needs! Appreciate your feedback on our intuitive UI and text-to-video feature. We're always aiming to enhance our AI voices. Thanks for being part of our journey!

No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros 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. #### Cons Often 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. #### Vendor response Hi Ricks! Lisa here. Thanks for your review from 2023! We're glad to hear that you see the potential in Pictory’s stock videos based on scripts or speech. I understand your frustration with the AI media selection sometimes missing the mark. We’ve been improving it to make sure it matches the content better. We’re also working on making pricing more flexible. How’s your content creation going this year? Would love to hear how Pictory is fitting into your workflow! Also, feel free to join our Facebook Creators Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/863439644603943/.

Great experience, easy to use especially for simple YouTube videos and shorts. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Simple to use and a nice sized library of visuals with a reasonable subscription price. #### Cons I've noticed some bugs, specifically when you duplicate a video (I do this often because I first make a longer video then duplicate it to trim it and make a short version) you will often lose the the text from the original video and it will change it to the initial text created by AI when you use Article to video. Then have to manually fix the text obviously. otherwise no complaints. #### Vendor response Hi Stephen, Thank you for your feedback!
