Reviews of Pictory
Alternatives Considered:
Powerful AI for Pennies and SUPER Easy to Use
Comments: 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.

Great software, good pricing.
Comments: Pictory is easy to work with and does most of the heavy lifting for you. The AI is intuitive and while not perfect was much better than the Invideo AI. It helps you make videos with ease and the process is fun and somewhat addicting.
Pros:
This is fun software. I bought it for business but also use it for fun.
Cons:
I ran out of enhanced voice credits and the only upgrade was for a year when I had a temporary one month shortage.

Pictory rapidly becoming a very comprehensive system
Comments: Overall its an astounding programme and replaces 95% of the work needed to build videos in Premier Pro ect Currently the only limitations are lack of stills and text animation which I hope you will add at some point - the ability to have text appear during the slide, at key moments would elevate the to a truly professional system. Also the option to add a blur filter between the stock video and the text would again lift this.
Pros:
Script building and the accuracy of the auto video selection - for the videos I have produce on average 7/10 of the video selected is good.
Cons:
I don't think there are enough British voiced ai voices - I also have struggles with the speed of speech and a general feeling that most lack a sales type presence. Lastly, please make the outline/shadow an option and not the default for headings I also think that it would be more useful if the on screen script and script that the Ai uses could be separate to allow for adding characters to overcome pronunciation

Thanks for your feedback! It’s great to know Pictory is working well for you, especially with script-building and the accuracy of auto video selection. A 7/10 is a solid result. You mentioned British AI voices and wanting more variety, particularly with a more engaging, sales-focused tone. Speed adjustments and pronunciation fixes (like adding characters) would also make the voiceovers feel more polished. I’ll pass this along to the team, but you can also share your suggestions directly at https://feedback.pictory.ai/roadmap. Thanks again for the feedback.
