I love all of the animations and look forward to all of the new characters each month. This software continues to help push my comfort zone to do more and more with my videos.
I hate that you cannot edit the audio. M a huge audio nerd and it drives me nuts that I cannot do simple audio editing.
Monthly updates including new assets, great training, fantastic customer services, and a very reliable product overall.
I missed tools to cut video files that you add to the software.
CreateStudio has a number of excellent features that high level users will appreciate and is so easy to use even a beginner can make excellent videos.
For one particular video, I had to publish it 7 times because it kept getting stuck. And even then, it didn't work.
Easy to use, visually stunning product that looks like Pixar animation. Great value for the cost.
That you need to be online and that it is very hard to work on more devices eg PC, Laptop.
I like how easy it is to turn my articles into video. The overall selection of videos is good, and the realistic voices are quite good.
It is also capped if you pay a staggering $40 a month. Capped on a payment plan is CRAZY.
However, what I like the most the the ability to edit video by text and the transcription. Pictory transcribes with great accuracy and good speed.
Randomly, you'll experience site failures and inconsistencies. For the past 2 weeks, the video generation option has been down.
Their AI to pick up suitable media files to match my text in the respective scenes really is great and gives me a great idea on what to insert should I need to replace them without thinking much.
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.
It's really easy to use and has lots of great features. The text to video is so easy and the results are amazing.
A product of the future with no learning curve.
Bill: Hi, I'm Bill. I'm with Indian All Stars. And I love CreateStudio, I'll give it a four out of five. I use CreateStudio to create social media posts, mostly. I use the AI voice generator as well as the character animation to create my social media posts. The thing I like most about CreateStudio is the really pretty easy interface. I've used a lot of different video software over my career, but this is all pretty compact and easy to understand for even people that really don't have much experience in that world. If I had to pick one thing that I don't like or that could be improved on, and this is kind of nitpicking, is the render time. Any video software, it takes a bit of time to render and catch up and create the finished product. But when we add in the customized animation and that kind of stuff, it takes a little bit of time for the finished product to come out.
David: Hi, I'm David. I'm a retired archeologist, and I use Pictory for introductions for my books. I've written 35 books, and that's what I'm using Pictory for. And I would give it a five out of five. I've been using Pictory for a while now to do introductions to my books that I've written on archeology. Also, I use it for podcasts, for introductions to some of the podcasts, and I've made some introductory videos. They work really well to give a short overview of the book as well as the podcast. I like Pictory because it's easy to use. It's got some great AI voices that integrate well with the script that I create. So it's probably one of my favorite go-to tools for creating my videos. On the dislike side of things, I would say it doesn't always give me the picture that I'm looking for in the AI, but that's not a big problem for me because I create all of my own graphics and put my own pictures in. So the odd time, it'll get a good photo or good video, but AI is not so good at that at the moment.
