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 dancing part which is an aspect that can help me to create a wonderful moment in youtube,tiktok and other social media handle,an exciting opportunity that I have ever craved for since my knowledge of content creation.”

Udoka U.

Content Creator

“I really enjoy using the AI Talking Photos feature because it creates impressive and realistic animations from simple images, and the results are fun and creative.”

Alberto M.

Designer

“I’ve used it for social media content, presentations, and creative projects, and it has saved me a lot of time while improving the quality of my visuals. Although there are a few areas that could be refined, the tool delivers strong value and continues to improve with each update.”

Basuki B.

Consultant

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

“The main bug for me is time constraints, I fully understand why on the best quality close up the time limit is 3 minutes 30 second due to server costs but there is a merge video option for longer videos, I now use Suno and try to get Suno to make a song under 4 minutes is pretty difficult.”

Paul R.

private

“The biggest downside for me is how the features are organized like separate Lego blocks. When I first bought the license, it wasn’t immediately clear which exact tools and features are included in my plan and which ones require an additional one-time purchase.”

Oleksandr K.

Project Manager

“In summary, my least favorite aspect is that TalkingPhotos.ai’s operational limits—its long render times and minuscule maximum length—actively prevent it from being the powerful engine it could be for long-form content like online courses.”
