Pictory is brilliant for putting together video projects with the power of AI. I love the story editor, the automatic voice overs, the stock videos and the music!
What do you dislike about the product?
The things that I've disliked I've been able to bring up to the creators and they take action on! For example, I wanted to have shorter pauses in the voice over between scenes. Within a few days they launched a new release updating this!

Shutter Stock Footage and Audios

What do you dislike about the product?
The video editor is great, but there is space for improvement.
I dislike that I can't use multiple audio files and BGM for different scenes in the video.
Sometimes the AI can be hit and miss for choosing a suitable piece of stock content to support the context. I hope this improves in time.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Pictory is great too for anyone in education or marketing. I've been able to easily create videos out of my blog articles to compliment my marketing. I've found the learning curve quite intuitive, yet I suspect I've not even unpacked 30% of what Pictory can do.
This is a must have for course creators and education providers.
What do you like best about the product?
Pictory is an innovative product. I was able to create a course video in a few minutes with the script we had for the course video.

What could be improved?
💡Text editing is quite basic. This needs a little attention.
💡Limited ability to format text, change colors, change fonts and line spacing.
💡Limited ability to customize templates. Give us a bit more power to customize.
💡It would be great to have us highlight keywords for AI to pick up scenes/stock videos.
💡Ability to keep the TTS in audio but should not be on video display if we choose to.
💡Ability to at least have your assistant or a couple of team members to do the job for/with you.
💡Sharing passwords is a no-no! Make it easy for us to collaborate please.
💡It would be great to have a video player online for the link rather than just allowing us to download it.

Course/Explainer video creation
A magic tool which can convert anything into video!
What do you like best about the product?
I am really happy with this product! It's such a time saver! I had a video that was over 1 hour long and I wanted to make a short video of the most important information in the video. This tool allowed me to easily make a short, 5-minute video within minutes. now I can also easily convert my blogs/articles, scripts & images into a quality video. Brand settings is great, I can set all my intros, outros, fonts & colors to repeatedly use in my videos.
What do you dislike about the product?
Limited Text formating, should have more options
Intro & outro templates are very basic
Downloading a video takes significant time, it should be reduced
Voiceovers are not human-like, they sound robotic

It helps me convert my long videos into short highlights within minutes which saves me a lot of time and effort, It also helps me edit my course videos.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I am not a video creator but I have to say that I am really impressed with this software. With the ability to quickly transcribe lengthy videos, this is a great tool for anyone who has to create videos.
Good SaaS that need some improvements to be great
What do you like best about the product?
I love the Descript-style "edit video by editing its transcript" function. Of all the 4 tools in the SaaS, this one is the most useful. This brings me to the transcription limits, which are pretty generous compared to offers from other software in this field. This feature is the primary time-saver when editing dialogue-heavy clips. Simply look at the transcripts at a glance and I know what to remove. This saves me from scrolling through the timeline to find what I need to edit out.
The transcripts are a great bonus for me as we sometimes need to have subtitles. Although, we mainly need a translated subtitle, and there are no reliable auto-translators right now. Still helpful in the occasions where we need to get transcripts. (Which we did on a recent project: export transcript and used a TTS program to read the transcript).

What do you dislike about the product?
The other features need a lot more work. AI-to-video (from article url or text) often select static images from its stock library OR chooses unrelated image/footage. I had to replace almost every single asset to make the output usable. This completely defeats the purpose of an AI-generated video.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I wanted to use this to speed up my video workflow when it comes to dialogue-heavy video editing and also wanted to get some quick short video clips from the AI tools.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are similar online SaaS offerings out there like Wave.video and InVideo that do similar things to Pictory. In my opinion, Pictory does some things better, but not everything. I think the text/title templates are better in Pictory with auto-highlighted keywords and better-looking desgins (Wave's titles are way too big). It is also the only one with transcript-based editing, and audio file syncing. Audio sync is important because the AI text-to-speech in these apps are terrible. I import AI voices from outside sources so the syncing is a great feature.
The competitors do a lot more, and I think they are better for more general editing. They are more robust and allow more controls in the editing timeline; they are more similar to traditional editing software. But Pictory seems to be trying to bring a different workflow that is faster in exchange of some of the controls.

Easy tool to create social media video without any toughness
What do you like best about the product?
t was easy to make the long content into a short video. The video quality was too high. Production of the video also in less than 6 minutes. This way we can save a lot of time. Transcriptions are working so well on this platform. I edit videos daily, and this made my all days wonderful. Thanks for the whole team. However, the ompany roadmap looks so promising, and grabbing Pictory now is a good investment in existing features, and this defiently had a bright future. There are also the other sections of creating videos, which to be honest I didn't give a try, but have had a play around with.
What do you dislike about the product?
All was good but one thing I need to say that is to improve the text styling otherwise overall a good deal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to create short videos.
good support team
Cutting the scenes based on content will be the game changer here
Best in price
Generous in size
Finally I can say my video creation things become mush easier and quicker. This is my secreet tool to make engaging video regularly and push it in all of my social media. I can transcribe my video, add caption, make blogs to video and script to video, make simple summary and short video based on AI, editing transcript. Grab it now and you will never regret it.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Defiently a suggesting tool for all marketing people. You don't know how much time you can save on this. This has been one of the amazing tools I have. If you produce long-form of video or even want a better way to edit video vlogs quickly.
Transcribe video very easy
What do you like best about the product?
We just started with YouTube and podcasting. Pictory provides transcribe features very well. Really accurate compared to others. Also, it's very user friendly. We have some people in our team who are not "tech" person and Pictory can be used on 3 clicks max. Just upload a video or text then transcribe and that's it. Upload it to YouTube and done. Published. No more headaches. Also, voice over. You can even upload or record your voice for a selected video. Also missing some integrations. There is no option to publish a video directly via native integration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Fetching and downloading a video takes a lot of time. Normally about 30 min. - 1h. This is quite a lot. Also, some voices sound very robotic. I prefer to use our natural voice rather than Pictory voices because when you are listening to it it's honestly like a robot. Also, they could add more languages than English. Multiple brands would be also great. We have 4 companies and we can manage 1 brand under 1 account. Also, more options for editing a video would great too.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed to transcribe features mostly. Pictory helps us transcribe our video, add subtitles and publish at our eCom site or YouTube. We mostly use Pictory for our courses in the fitness industry. People who don't speak English can easily watch it and learn.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are more relatively polished tools but Pictory does 1 thing very well. Transcribing a video. For English people, it's really no brainer. Very easy to use. You can upload or record your voice or sound in the background. If they add more languages Pictory would be such a good tool.
Can be a great video software

What do you dislike about the product?
CONs:
in ability to correct a whole sentence or paragraph, you have to go word by word (sometimes when it catches multiple words wrong, its better to write a whole sentence and feed it there instead of doing one by one)
their text to speech is not that great yet.
inability to change the duration of the scenes
no animations or stylings for captions. (it will be a super creative idea if you guys can add animations or styling to captions believe me)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am doing professional transcription services and subtitling, so it helps me in it.
Converting my blog posts into engaging videos
What do you like best about the product?
I can copy and paste a URL into Pictory, and convert regular text into short informative videos without spending tons of valuable time in the process.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some languages like Spanish are still under development, but the roadmap looks promising, so this is a temporary pain that will be resolved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can repurpose existing content into video, with subtitles and multilingual capabilities. It saves me hours and hours of work, and it´s making a difference in the way my web visitors interact with content and convert.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ideal if you´re looking to repurpose existing content or generate new video content from scratch.
Create videos in minutes
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
- 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)

- 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)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main benefit I've experienced thus far is the ability to repurpose written content - from blog snippets to Instagram captions - into short videos for primarily Instagram stories but you can also use it for YouTube, LinkedIn and more. You spend so much time writing blogs and captions, so why not extend the lifetime of your written content by creating videos? That's is where the attention is at.
