Great video tool
I tried mainly on Article to Video and Edit Videos with voice using Text.
Here is a video I created without much editing from a random article: https://vimeo.com/581081001/61376e9d72
Here's what I noticed:
1. The video can not keep up with the caption when I increased the speaking rate of the voiceover
2. Background noise from the voiceover, not sure if this is the only one
Overall, the quality and accuracy of the transcription are pretty good. Although some videos generated are not that accurate, but it's not a big deal as I can easily change it myself. No doubt a little manual tweaking is required before publishing any video, but hey, the heavy lifting is done in minutes, and it could save me hours!
I love that filler words can be removed with just one button! Also, the ability to split a video into multiple short clips is a plus, as I can use those clips for posts on social media.
There are a few things I'd like to see Pictory improve on:
1. Needs a little work on the user interface
2. More options for animations, themes, transitions, fonts, background music, and voiceover options (some of the voiceovers sounded robotic). Currently, the video styling options are limited.
3. Multiple options for saved brands
4. To share across multiple platforms right after the video is created
5. Team features
6. Usage indicator that shows how many hours of video transcription are left for the month
Pictory is a great tool. It is definitely worth keeping, I can see myself using it moving forward! Good job and good luck to the Pictory team. Looking forward to seeing more features soon!
