Pictory Reviews

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.

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.

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.

The ease of use and how professional I can make stuff look for marketing

I'm sure there's something but I only look for the positive and what I can use

Hi Jeffery, it's great to see you're enjoying Pictory and embracing its features for your marketing. We love the positive vibes! Happy to hear that our seminar and YouTube tutorials were a big help in your decision. You can find more great content in our creators' group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/863439644603943/ Having you in our community would be terrific!

The best feature is the generation of the videos and the automatic closed captioning. There are also quite a few video clips to choose from.

On my computer, once I choose a video clip from my favorites, I can get back to the library to search. I have to save the project and reopen it. Also, it would be helpful to have folders for favorites so I can make categories instead of scrolling through all of the videos I have saved as favorites.

Hey Kristin, thanks for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you're happy with the video generation and closed captioning features. We understand the need for better navigation with favorites, and we’re working on improvements like adding folders and making it easier to access saved clips. If there’s anything else you’d like to suggest, feel free to share it on our roadmap page at https://feedback.pictory.ai/roadmap. If you need help, just reach out to support@pictory.ai. Happy cretaing!

Easy to upload written content to make into video

Voiceover does not work, customer service is unable to assist and it takes several attempts to get a response. Technical support can not fix issues and they just emailing to stall in requested refunds.

Hello Robert, we're truly sorry to hear about your negative experience with Pictory. Addressing your concerns is our top priority. We would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this further and make things right. Please contact our support team at support@pictory.ai so we can help.

Using a script, and a little time, you can create video in minutes. Take another hour or two, and you have a polished video to release.

It's browser-based, and JavaScript just isn't keeping up with subtle UX features (like scene split). This is not a problem with Pictory but with how far we have pushed HTML and the browser container in general.

Hi Richard, Thanks for your detailed feedback! It's great to hear that Pictory is making it easy for you to create videos quickly and with minimal hassle. We aim to provide a user-friendly alternative to more complex software like Adobe and Camtasia, so it's awesome that you're finding the learning curve to be much easier. We understand your point about the limitations of being browser-based. Pushing HTML and JavaScript to their limits can sometimes affect subtle UX features like scene splitting. Our team is constantly working on improvements, and your feedback helps us prioritize what to tackle next. Thanks again for your insights!

Pictory is very easy to use and produces high-quality videos. The product is continuously evolving. To create videos from a script, there is nothing as easy.

Sincerely, I love this product so much that I cannot see any cons.

Eric, we're grateful for your perspective on switching from Vidnami to Pictory. Your insights help us understand our user needs better. Should you have any more thoughts or need assistance, our support email is always open.

The videos are really great. In other cases, the images selected do not really make sense but with Pictory the results are just spot-on.

Editing subtitles can be a bit counterintuitive as you do not have to double click, just wait for options to appear

Hey Almudena, thanks for the review! It's great to hear that Pictory is providing you with spot-on image selections. We aim to deliver results that make sense and are meaningful. Regarding subtitle editing, thanks for the feedback. If you have any more improvement suggestions, let us know at feedback.pictory.ai/roadmap.

It's easy to use and has a wealth of visuals to use from.

The videos and images are not tagged so if you don't take note of or save visuals you like you may not be able to find them again.

- Ease of Use when selecting videos to match text - Fairly accurate transcription - Good feature set. Pictory UI is very intuitive. I was able to easily jump in and use the Article to Video module for my existing blog posts. The Ai b-roll video selection isn't the best but the ability to perform a refined search for a replacement video was easy. The additional tweaking necessary to create a usable...

- Filler word cut out is abrupt - Limited number of usable Ai text to speech voices - Inability to use pre-recorded voice over for all slides. (I currently have to use another text to speech software for each slide) this just takes too long. I ended up just using Pictory text to speech voice out of frustration. At least there is one usable voice that doesn't sound too robotic.

Thanks for your feedback. We're constantly working to improve, and your insights are super helpful. For further suggestions or specific details, feel free to share them at https://feedback.pictory.ai/roadmap

Easy to use, quick processing, good features and lots of video/photo clips to select from. Easy to use for uploading and using my own voice over tracks.

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.

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.

If you have more ideas for improvement, feel free to drop them at: https://feedback.pictory.ai/roadmap. We really appreciate your feedback!

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.

The auto voice generator can often mispronounce certain terms. Also the limit is videos of 20 minutes.

The main reason I purchased Pictory was to repurpose my written content into video. I really enjoy using their "text-to-video" feature, especially as you can upload your own images and even record your own voice over. The tool is intuitive to use and I know it will get even better over time. The ability to edit video by editing text --- wow, this is incredible! Highly recommend if you want a quick, easy way to use more video in your content creation process.

- sometimes the images it chose to match the text was not quite ideal. I just swapped those out for different images. - would love to see more images/videos added to the library - looking forward to the ability to change the font of the captions to match my brand fonts (currently there is only one default font available)

Hi Deanna! It's fantastic to hear how Pictory is transforming your content creation, especially with our text-to-video feature. Your insights about image selection and the need for more variety in our library are valuable. Also, we're working on offering more customization for captions, including more font choices. Your feedback helps us improve, so feel free to share more ideas at feedback.pictory.ai/roadmap

The software is easy to start with and offers a wide range of stock images and videos to bring you blog posts to life.

The editing UI is a little clunky at first and the AI doesn't always find the correct images on the first try.

Hey Manuel, appreciate your insights! Glad to hear Pictory is a hit for transforming blog posts into engaging videos. We're always working to smooth out the editing UI and enhance AI accuracy for image selection. Your feedback is invaluable. For any suggestions or help, feel free to email us at support@pictory.ai.

I love that Pictory produces quality video content for you based on just a script (text-to-video) feature. It makes creating explanatory videos so much easier. As my review title suggests, this is the tool for you if you're looking to put in minimum effort for maximum output. Let the software do the heavy work quickly for you!

Frankly there isn't anything I dislike about Pictory at this point in time. I have tried almost all the features and they're working fine as described where I first found out about them.

Hey Frederick, Thanks for your awesome feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you're efficiently churning out quality videos with Pictory. It's our goal to make video creation as straightforward as possible, and it sounds like we're hitting the mark for you. I noticed you couldn't find anything to dislike - that's what we love to hear!

Text to speech sync, text alignment, scene selection

I have asked them several times to add in stickers and overlays features

Hi Mark! Thanks for your awesome feedback and being with us for 2 years! Great to hear you're enjoying Pictory. About stickers and overlays, that's a neat idea! Could you detail your suggestions at https://feedback.pictory.ai/roadmap Thank you!

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.

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.

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!

So far I like the AI voiceover generation that I use for an audio watermark which saved me bags of time sourcing a voiceover artist

I haven't had time to use everything yet

Hello Stephen, we are pleased to know that Pictory is streamlining your work, especially with the AI voiceover for your audio watermarks - no more hunting for voiceover artists!

You can create short videos using your existing blog post or article that are engaging, creative, and entertaining within a minute using a pictory AI-based video creator. You dont need to have video editing skills. Or you dont need to hire professional video editors.

Sometimes you need to do manual work to make videos suitable for particular scenes. And also, editing takes too long, which needs to be improved.

Hello Subin! Thanks for your positive feedback on Pictory! 😊 We're happy that you find it easy to create engaging videos. Your suggestion to improve the manual work and editing process is valuable. Could you share more details at https://feedback.pictory.ai/roadmap? We're eager to hear more!
