pictory.ai

This is a paid online program that makes videos from text description. Individual videos can be edited, changed to others, selected from the library, add melodies, select AI voice. There are different people's choices for voice selection. This program does not fully analyze all texts according to the script, but selectively searches videos for individual words, so the results will be unexpected.
There are 14 days to test the program. The program adds a logo in the free version. Video tutorials Pictory Help Center

Project 1. Introductory example

This was the only ready-made example project to study pictory.ai, which I did not change, analyzed and saved the video.

Personalization is another key benefit.

Scene8
Creators can quickly refine their strategies based on real-time data, ensuring their content remains relevant and impactful.

Scene9
However, the rise of AI brings challenges.

Scene10
There’s a risk that over-reliance on AI-generated content could diminish authenticity.

Scene11
Automated content might lack the personal touch that makes learning experiences unique.

Scene12
Educators will need to balance AI efficiency with maintaining the human element in their content.

Scene13
Ultimately, AI will be a powerful tool for those who embrace it.

Scene14
Educators and course creators who adapt will likely expand their reach, improve content quality, and engage more effectively with their audiences on social media.

Project 2. The little round bun (Ukrainian Folk Tale)

I specially found a fairy tale in English and placed all the text in the script of the project, I even added pictures, but the program did not understand that it was a fairy tale. At first, a background melody was added to the video, I removed it and selected a female voice.

scenario of the fairy tale about the little round bun

Once upon a time there lived an old man and an old woman who were very poor and had nothing at all to their name. And they kept getting poorer and poorer till there was nothing left to eat in the house, not even bread.

Said the old man:

"Do bake us a bun, old woman! If you scrape out the flour-box and sweep out the bin, you'll have enough flour."

So the old woman scraped out the flour-box and swept out the bin, she made some dough and she shaped a little round bun out of it. She then lit the oven, baked the bun and put it on the window sill to cool.

But the bun jumped out of the window and onto the bench outside, and from the bench onto the ground, and away it rolled along the road!

On and on it rolled, and it met a Rabbit coming toward it.

"I'm going to eat you up, Little Round Bun!" called the Rabbit.

"Don't do that, Fleet-Feet, let me sing you a song instead," said Little Round Bun.

"All right, let's hear it!"

"Here it is!

"I was scraped from the flour-box

And swept from the bin

And baked in the oven

And cooled on the sill.

I ran away from Grandpa,

I ran away from Grandma,

And I'll run away from you, this minute I will!"

And off it rolled and away.

By and by it met a Wolf coming toward it.

"I'm going to eat you up, Little Round Bun!" called the Wolf.

"Don't do that, Brother Wolf, let me sing you a song instead."

"All right, let"s hear it!"

"I was scraped from the flour-box

And swept from the bin,

And baked in the oven,

And cooled on the sill.

I ran away from Grandpa,

I ran away from Grandma,

And I'll run away from you, this minute I will!"

And away it rolled.

By and by it met a Bear coming toward it.

"I'm going to eat you up, Little Round Bun!" called the Bear.

"Don't do that, Brother Bear, I'll sing you a song instead!"

"All right, let's hear it!"

"I was scraped from the flour-box

And swept from the bin,

And baked in the oven,

And cooled on the sill.

I ran away from Grandpa,

I ran away from Grandma,

And I'll run away from you, this minute I will!"

And off it rolled and away!

By and by it met a Fox coming toward it.

"I'm going to eat you up, Little Round Bun!" called the Fox.

"Don"t do that, Sister Fox, I'll sing you a song instead."

"All right, let's hear it!"

"I was scraped from the flour-box,

And swept from the bin,

And baked in the oven,

And cooled on the sill.

I ran away from Grandpa,

I ran away from Grandma,

And I'll run away from you, this minute I will!"

"Sing some more, please, don't stop!" the Fox said.

"Hop onto my tongue, so I can hear you better."

Little Round Bun jumped onto the Fox"s tongue and began to sing:

"I was scraped from the flour-box

And swept from the bin – "

But before it could go on, the Fox opened her mouth and – snap! – she gobbled it up.

I did not split the video into separate parts myself, I inserted the entire script into one field. The program itself split the text. The program does not analyze the entire fairy tale, it does not understand the whole point. It finds different videos by some words. The program does not generate videos, as it may seem, it searches for ready-made videos that match text queries.
The program can quickly create any video without wasting time. The library has a collection of videos that you can select, change the melodies, there are options with different voices. But the video has many inconsistencies and does not look like a fairy tale. For example, at first it tells about how a grandfather and grandmother lived. And the video shows a scene with a young family, a boy and a dog. Then there are unrelated videos on the text of the fairy tale, which do not convey the text of the fairy tale correctly. Then the bun jumps out of the window, but in the video the cat opens the window. Later in the fairy tale, The little round bun meets a rabbit, and the video shows how the rabbit is skinned, which doesn't fit the text at all. Also, for example, in one video a wolf appears, where according to the text it should appear after a few slides. Sometimes in the videos there are scenes where vector illustrations are animated, for example, with a bear. In the middle of the video there is a drawn illustration of a grandfather, but he doesn't look poor, as in the fairy tale, the grandfather is shown in a suit and with a hat. If try a scene according to a different scenario, where there are no strong restrictions for the video, but something abstract, then the application can be useful. For example, when there is a lot of text and need to somehow show it as a presentation.
