Pros

“A good portion of my videos are posted on YouTube and I continue to get copyright claims, on every video.”
DF

Donald F.

Chief Executive Officer

“Most outstanding feature is the option to take a link on any article or blog post and Lume5 will rewrite the script and create a video on the article with ease.”

“The AI generation does a lot better, manually searching media finds you nothing useful.”
DF

Donald F.

Chief Executive Officer

Pros

“User-friendly AI video generator, saves huge time getting a video done based on other text and image content and having that video easily adjusted afterwards”

Svetla M.

“Pictory has significantly increased my productivity, helping me produce valuable videos that resonate with my audience.”
AH

Angie H.

Founder

“Also the option to add a blur filter between the stock video and the text would again lift this.”
PH

Paul H.

Owner

Cons

“I couldn't seem to be able to customize or add captions on certain templates.”

Denise T.

Affiliate Marketer and Content Creator

“I think the text-to-video only work for generic clips, videos with "purpose" don't come very well, images choosen by the AI are to generic, and if I have to edit it myself I prefer using cupcat or canva.”

Ivan T.

Founder & Communication Empowerment Specialist

“A lot of times when using the text to video feature the text is not related to the image that is added”
NC

Nathan C.

Founder

Cons

“I don't think there are enough British voiced ai voices - I also have struggles with the speed of speech and a general feeling that most lack a sales type presence.”
PH

Paul H.

Owner

“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.”
SR

Stephen R.

CIO

“One small downside is that sometimes finding specific features requires some searching, as they are not always immediately visible.”
