I was pleasantly surprised by how powerful this cloud based video creator is. I created a 10 minutes travel video --https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIGe9CcHI2A using the article to video feature. While the software did not upload each of the photos in the post (which I thought it would do) I was able to bulk upload them from my computer. The quality of the stock videos and images in the stock is excellent.

The software creates separate scenes for each sentence or two so it forces you to be a god editor, review the scene and, if necessary delete unnecessary content. While the software picked what it deemed the key text for the video, I felt compelled to select additional text which was easy to do.

Only hiccup was that after I generated the video, I had to delete one of about 70 scenes as the photo came up upside down. I loved the music Pictory chose for the video so much that I decided to generate the video without voice.

Finally, even though Pictory auto highlights key phrases I love being able to add additional highlights. You can also drag the text anywhere you want which is helpful for those times the text is too far to the left. I also like the fact that you can add an intro video very easily just by clicking a box and uploading the video although I did not have time to create one for this particular video.

It would be nice to be able to create professional transitions or have the text scroll from left to right but I'm not sure if that can be done. Finally, I like the fact that the company is going to be adding additional features which should make the produce even more valuable.
