### "Best ltd purchase that I've ever made"

April 29, 2024

5.0

I have been using victory since it's beta testing it is a great product I will continue to use it for as long as they are viable. Great Piece of software easy to use with an easy workflow.

Pros

I love the ease of use and being able to import either text for video, pictures and video clips, or a link from a Blog to create a video. This was created as a replacement for another platform that failed. This is my go-to in stock video creation for you to and social platforms.

Cons

Unfortunately they did not live up to the promises made for LTD buyers when they sold us the LTD they said that we would get all premium Pro features and unfortunately I am now paying monthly on two separate plans for church that they said would be included for all future upgrades. I do understand that upgrades are expensive but if you are not planning on including upgrades you should not promise all future upgrades in your sales copy.

### "Pictory is the Best!"

May 30, 2024

5.0

My overall experience has been terrific. I especially like the voice over synching. It makes a huge difference in the final product.

Pros

The final product is high quality. The availability of Eleven Labs voice library and Getty images make Pictory hard to beat.

Cons

There are some issues with visual selection in the initial draft of a video that require some editing. However, I have never been disappointed with my final selection of visuals.

### "Get it now!"

May 22, 2024

5.0

Pros

It is easy and get the videos online in no time. Tons of "free" stuff you can use and my son now makes our videos (17 yo). The AI choses a framework you can start with which makes the process super fast!

Cons

It sometimes makes a little wierd choices in the AI, but my text is in Swedish and it still get almost everything right.

### "Highly Recommended"

March 16, 2024

5.0

It's simple to use and has great features. Pictory offers a vast media library that ensures you never run out of content. The AI does all the hard work for you, making video creation quick, easy, and cost-effective. Create branded video snippets from long-form videos, make engaging video highlights and Transform blog posts into videos. It doesn't get any better than Pictory. We included Pictory in our list of the top resources we recommend. \[sensitive content hidden\]

Pros

What I love about Pictory is the video highlights. You can upload a longer video and it automatically creates shorter videos automatically. No work required. Adds subtitles and you can add b-roll. I have been teaching my students how to use Pictory as part of their social media marketing strategy. Pictory leverages AI to simplify and enhance the video creation and editing process. It’s user-friendly, cost-effective, and packed with features that can take your video content to the next level.

Cons

The AI Video suggestions are ok. I add all stock videos manually.

Pros

### "Powerful AI for Pennies and SUPER Easy to Use"

April 24, 2024

5.0

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.

Alternatives considered

[HumanPal](https://www.capterra.com/p/275427/HumanPal/)[HeyGen](https://www.capterra.com/p/10015133/HeyGen/)[Canva](https://www.capterra.com/p/168956/Canva/)

Reason for choosing Pictory

I still use HeyGen and Canva, but they are supplemental to Pictory. HumanPal was too fake looking, also tried Reals.ai, Yepic and others. I like the speed, wide range of music and top-quality graphics, animations and videos on Pictory.

### "Great product to use"

May 18, 2024

4.0

I enjoy the product to create professionally looking and sounding sales videos for my books and podcasts.

Pros

I love the text to voice narration that provides a real life voice. Sometime I have to respell the odd obscure technical term to say it properly but 99% of the time it gets it right.

Cons

Not always does AI provide the image that I wish to use and so use my own images.

April 24, 2024

5.0

I am a fan. I even convinced other departments in my school to use Pictory.

Pros

Pictory helped me create quality videos in a short period of time. It really helped my orientations better.

Cons

Nothing. I wish I had more time to explore other functions available. It would be cool to have a live 'class' in order to ask questions.

### "The Fastest Video Production Tool on the Planet!"

August 15, 2023

5.0

They have a great Facebook group and they roll new features all the time!I love getting a Pictory update email and seeing what new cutting edge features they released and watching the really helpful tutorial videos that always accompany the new features.It is so easy to use. There is zero learning curve. It has made me so much more presentable via video because I typically use a lot of filler words like umm, so, right?, etc. Pictory deletes these with the flip of a toggle. I feel so much more confident with my video content because of these features.

Pros

Being able to cut out text from transcription of my recording and the video deleting that exact scene instantly is so amazing. It save soooo much time.

Cons

I'd love to see them amp up their folders / video organization system. It is a little tough to navigate your files at a glance and I'd love a sub folder feature.

Switched from

January 30, 2024

5.0

This is one of the best investments that I have done. I can create a video in a matter of minutes. This is so powerful.

Pros

It's really easy to use. Very user friendly especially for someone like me who is not a graphic designer.

Cons

Every now and then I will need to refresh my page. It could be my computer.

January 10, 2024

5.0

Prompt and helpful support. User friendly program. (I'm not highly technical and it only took a few days to produce my first music video.) They encourage feedback from their clients to see where they can improve their service. Pictory provides a valuable service for me.

Pros

Several things. It's user friendly, inexpensive, and provides prompt, helpful support.

Cons

There's nothing I "like least" about Pictory. They provide me with a user friendly and inexpensive program to create and distribute my own good quality music videos. I have no problem meeting the quality standards required by my video distributor. There's nothing to "like least" about that.

### "Super Simple Video Creation That Saves You Time"

March 20, 2024

5.0

I love the ease and speed with which videos can be created with Pictory.

Pros

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.

Cons

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

Reason for choosing Pictory

It was on a LTD on AppSumo and got a medium tier.

### "A Game Changer for Producing Videos from Your Script, Even if You Are a Newbie"

November 13, 2023

4.0

We needed several new product marketing videos turned around fast and with a limited budget and effort. Pictory got us about 90% of the way there fairly easily and quickly. It gave us a great approach to bringing words to life so, we're hooked. If you have a big budget, this isn't for you, and the quality of your video will depend on you, it's garbage in, garbage out. If your sense of taste is all in your mouth, you'll probably want to get someone else to use this for you. I recently saw a truly horrific promo webinar that used it where it had no artistic sense. But that wasn't Pictory's fault...

Pros

The way Pictory turns your script into a pretty usable video with little effort or investment in time.

Cons

Functionality in some areas is still basic but serviceable.

### "Pictory is a timesaver!"

August 5, 2023

5.0

Pros

I love that Pictory is so easy to use that one can figure it out without having to watch a bunch of tutorials. My goal is to save time and Pictory definitely does that! I can upload my transcript and then while it is processing, I can work on other tasks. After it is ready, I can then edit the script, graphics, add voice-overs and background music, adjust the timing of each slide, add transitions, and much more to truly make it my own.

Cons

I would like to have a wider range of AI voices to select from and a bit more transitions. The transitions sometimes seem choppy but overall, there are enough for a good-quality video.

### "Hashtag Trending - a daily news tech podcast moves from audio only to video on YouTube"

April 23, 2023

5.0

My goal was simple. I have a hit podcast with high levels of audio production and great content. I wanted to move that to video and YouTube, but its daily and at least for the conceivable future will not earn money. So I needed a quick way to construct a video to augment the audio, but it has to look professional and have excellent graphics.

Pros

It's the ease of use and speed with which it produces a quality product. I don't have time to learn all of the mechanics of editing and production with a new tool. It automates the whole process, but it looks great.

Cons

There are a couple of things about it that are problematic or not as easy. I find placing your own text on a scene (or slide) is workable but not easy. I've made some mistakes that took time to fix. I wish the branding elements were as easy and as creative as the rest.

Reason for choosing Pictory

I check out reviews to save time. This software was highly thought of by at least one intelligent reviewer.

### "I absolutely love and recommend Pictory"

February 6, 2024

5.0

I absolutely love it. I even asked them to be an affiliate because I wish to recommend it for all my subscribers and followers.

Pros

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.

Cons

I would like it to have an option to place the whole music as "main character", for background music and subliminal affirmations kinds of video. The "main character" for now, is the text/voiceover, so I need to come up with some tricks to come around it, like repeating the same video many times to fill the music length.

### "Makes Video Creation a Breeze"

August 1, 2022

5.0

I can produce several YouTube videos or marketing videos per day. A life changer for me!

Pros

Just paste the text from your story or blog, etc. Pictory creates the video from there. They add appropriate video segments with captions from your story or articles. They add the music automatically, but you can choose something different if you wish. They give you many voiceovers to choose from.

Cons

Sometimes the video segments they choose aren't quite right, so you have to go through their library to find a better one, but that doesn't happen often.

5.0

My overall experience with this Pictory platform is awesome. I have learned how to create my videos with ease and confidence. Currently, I have published six videos on my new YouTube Travel channels, and thanks to Pictory, made all this happen to me.

### "Don't Read the Bot Reviews - Read This"

January 5, 2023

4.0

Not proactive with regards to communication of potential site issues. I'm currently being ghosted with questions of "when" the site will have full functionality again. With so many issues, follow-up is critical... in their case? Its not even on the radar.The site just feels like a project that was not ready to roll out for proper/advertised functionability. Spent a few extra dollars elsewhere ...

Pros

Its marketed as easy an easy to use drop down video generation doftware. When properly functioning, it is a very basic and servicable option.

Cons

Pictory operates as if its under a beta testing mode. Randomly, you'll experience site failures and inconsistencies. For the past 2 weeks, the video generation option has been down. No word (literally) on its status changing.Audio / Voice over upload to text is off. A 5 min audio, read from a script, will generate an 8-10 min video - which results in unnecessary time spent editing.Some of their background music does not pass Youtube copyright claims - meaning you get a strike, not a copyright claim with approved use.I could go on ...

November 23, 2023

I was using Vidnami for my video creation until they disappeared... Pictory was very clever to see there was a place to be taken, and it was indeed! At first, the app was buggy and basic, but it evolved fast, listening to the users advice. If a company listens to its customers, it is generally a sign of quality and confidence. I don't regret my investment when the company was a small startup.

Pros

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.

Cons

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

### "One of the best AI video tools available"

July 10, 2023

5.0

We're using more and more video in my organization, and Pictory is the easiest tool we've found to create short, friendly video content with the least possible effort.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

### "A Vidnami REPLACEMENT in the making"

July 30, 2021

5.0

The major problem Pictory solves was the amount of time wasted having to first identify the main keywords of my blog post and then locate videos in stock websites that match the keywords. I will then have to copy the content from my blog post into a text to speech SaaS and then export to my computer and import to Davinci resolve to a timeline. I will then have to upload the stock videos to Davinci Resolve and then trim to match the specific sentence. The entire process takes almost an hour. Although, with Pictory, the process takes less than 20 minutes tops.

Pros

\- 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 video still requires less time, then having to manually go to a stock video website download the asset, then import to a video editing program and then match with a specific sentence. The edit videos with voice using text feature is amazing. The ability to quickly edit out all the filler words is amazing. The cut is a little abrupt, but it's better than hearing the filler word. I was also able to trim down an existing video asset to include only highlights at record time. Before, I had to remember certain sections of the video to cut. Now, I can easily skim through the script and highlight the key talking points in the video and voilà, done and done. I love it.

Cons

\- 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.
