"An easy way to publish video content with very little effort required."

5/5

What do you like best about Pictory AI?

The platform makes it extremely easy to take a blog post and turn it into a video. Nearly the entire process is automated with AI, making it a breeze. A video that used to take me 3 hours to complete now takes less than 30 minutes for the same thing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pictory AI?

There's not a lot to dislike, but of the few things I'm not liking after using the app for a while is that they release updates a little too often without proper testing. Occasionally it will break things and make it challenging to work with the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4.5/5

What do you like best about Pictory AI?

This tool has been great for me. I use it to create short videos for my blog posts. I love that I only have to upload my text and then the software does the rest. I have been able to create videos in just a few minutes that have helped my blog reach new audiences. I now have a more consistent presence on social media and my blog is more visible.

"Good SaaS that need some improvements to be great"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Pictory AI?

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). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pictory AI?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pictory AI 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5

What do you like best about Pictory AI?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pictory AI?

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
