Pros

Overall, I have been very impressed with Pictory.ai and would recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful article-to-video tool.
Great library of b-roll from a good partner Shutterstock. All the functions are useful.
Getting images and videos from storyblock for the same subscription is pretty cool. Hopefully more features like transitioning will be added in near future.

Pros

The next great thing is a translation of video from one language to another. It is great as the voice in translated language is like in a peaker and voice is synchronized with mimics.
Quick, easy, and very good quality, already an important partof my company.
Easy to use, complete, perfect translation of scripts and perfect avatar animation.

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.
Limited number of usable Ai text to speech voices. Inability to use pre-recorded voice over for all slides.
Unless you are on a premium status, I found the visual images can be quite restricted for a standard plan.

Cons

It must be said that the instant avatar validation system is hard but essential, because people with bad intentions could deceive people with this high quality of rendering.
Sometime we would use our drawing as avatar and it is difficult to make them recognizable as proper face.
I had a small problem at the beginning to validate my instant avatar but after contacting customer service they very quickly studied my problem and above all solved it.

Pictory

Powerful AI for Pennies and SUPER Easy to Use

Reviewed 5 months ago

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.

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.

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!
