Puppetry Reviews

Puppetry is actually a great piece of Software that has a lot of functionalities. There are some problems like the server goes down often, and you lose so much fidelity sometimes that even upscaling and denoising doesn't fix it. Nevertheless, the program for the most part works well for planning out stories when the servers are being finiky.,

As other people already mentioned, generating videos does not work at all. I tried it countless times since 24 hours and i could do two clips, each 5 seconds after waiting hours.

Someone on APPSUMO told you this already on 13th of July and you answered:"hey @celibacy, I'm really sorry about your experience. We are having an outage on some of our servers and are actively working to fix it."

You are still talking on your website about an Server Outage that is responsible for this, but it has been more then a week now.

People here pay much money and can not access the service you advertise. Overall very irritating
especially since the actual tool is great and absolutely worth the money.

At first i dismissed the product out right, but then i gave it a go and it was ok, very gimicky and fun. It's fair to say Puppetry has grown on me over time and i have actually been able to use the puppets to create marketing explainer videos.

It's easy to use and i'm impressed with the ai voices, very realistic, clear and they seem to be able to read words that are normally hard for ai to pronounce, so super cool.

render times could be faster and there are glitches here and there but nothing that can't be fixed.

overall, it's a keeper for me and i'm certainly going to start using the software even more, espeically after finally releasing my short review video about Puppetry. I had a blast of a time making this video. In my review video i use my own avatars and animate them using puppetry and basically have the puppets review the software. Enjoy.

Puppetry does a great job generating AI talking heads with lip sync. I'm very happy with it so far. The voices are the best I've heard so far.

It's not perfect, but most AI apps aren't. Sometimes it takes a loooooooong time to generate. Occasionally there is a blip in the audio generated--an extra word, a skip. I either regenerate the audio to get rid of it or edit myself after downloading. Not all of the voices work well I discovered. And some are much more natural sounding than others.

Customer service was very responsive for which I'm grateful. And while the problem was with the 3rd party provider who does the voices, they did recommend a successful work around.

I'd love to see more variety in the sample faces. (haven't tried creating my own yet).
Overall, I'm very glad I got this detail and am very impressed with the results. If it was possible to give 4.5 tacos, I would.

Here is my video about this software if you find it easier to watch a video opposed to reading.

Puppetry. Ah, where do I even begin with this jumbled web of disappointment and misplaced aspirations? 🤔 Let's just say that calling it a hit-or-miss endeavor would be far too generous. From my perspective, puppetry hardly works 99% of the time, leaving behind myriad eye-rolling moments and an overwhelming desire to unleash my inner critic. 🎭💔

Firstly, let's talk about puppet malfunctioning – the Achilles' heel of puppetry. It's as if these inanimate creatures have a personal vendetta against a successful performance. With their string-pulling shenanigans and the inevitable entanglements, they seem determined to sabotage every movement and pose. 🤦‍♀️🎪 It's a constant struggle trying to keep track of those pesky strings, all while attempting to weave a coherent story. Who knew that manipulating a few lifeless limbs would prove to be this intricate?

But wait, there's more! Let's not forget the stars of the show: the puppeteers themselves. Now, I don't mean to sound harsh, but their skills appear to be consistently misplaced. It's like watching a poorly synced dance routine where each step is unintentionally comedic. Their attempts to give life to these puppets often result in awkward, disjointed movements that leave me questioning the entire premise. Hats off to these courageous souls, though. Maybe puppetry is just a ruse to test the patience of aspiring dancers rather than entertain the masses. 💃🤔

Now, it's time to address the elephant in the theater – the AI writer lurking in the software. Believe it or not, the most enchanting part of puppetry nowadays is not the actual puppets but rather the artificial intelligence frolicking behind the scenes. 🧙‍♂️🖥️ These sophisticated algorithms churn out narratives more captivating than the puppetry itself. They may lack a tangible presence, but boy, do they pack a punch with their imaginative stories. Perhaps it's time we replace the puppets entirely with these genius storytellers and embrace a new age of digital puppetry. 🚀📚

Despite these critiques, I must concede that puppetry still holds a unique charm. There's something about the quaint handcrafted puppets that spark a nostalgic fire within me, reminding me of simpler times. As much as I find myself exasperated by the constant mishaps, when the stars accidentally align, and the puppetry gods smile upon us, those rare moments do manage to conjure up genuine laughter and awe. 🌟😂

In conclusion, puppetry truly is a rollercoaster ride that could rival even the zaniest of amusement parks. With its perpetual string entanglements, confounding choreography, and an AI-powered lifeline salvaging this sinking ship, it's no wonder I find myself torn. But hey, who am I to ruin the party? If you enjoy puppetry despite its eccentricities, embrace it with all your might, and may your strings remain forever untangled. 🎉✨
