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.

Marketing manager

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

Angie H.

Founder

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

Paul H.

Owner

Pros

“The AI avatars are impressively realistic and the voice generation is good enough for real business use especially for marketing training and explainer content.”

Matthew F.

President

“Customization can also feel somewhat limited depending on what you are trying to achieve. While it is great for quick content creation it is not as flexible as traditional video editing tools for more detailed or creative projects.”

Matthew F.

President

“The user interface is clean and intuitive which makes it accessible even if you do not have a background in video editing.”

Matthew F.

President

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.”

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.”

Stephen R.

CIO

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

Fernando B.

Sales and Marketing Director

Cons

“I don't like paying for additional custom avatars as it adds up quick. ”

cesar R.

Real Estate Agent

“Hopefully they'll be responsive to these complaints and I can change my review, but as far as I can tell, it was a terrible, terrible experience, horrible.”
