Recommendations to others considering Pictory AI:
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 designs (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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
