To add more variety to the automated machine voice-overs in your videos

I would love to have an option to add pauses to imported voice overs. Now when I sync a voice over to my video in which I’m for example explaining something on screen, sometimes the voice over talks to fast. I would love an option to edit this inside pictory.

Can we have text animations like wave.video. They have very cool and professional looking text animations options which we can apply to one scene or to the entire video. I hope this feature will be considered. Thank You Pictory

Premium voices speak at their own speed, but often times you want to slow down a performance for effect. I don't mean altering the voice to sound slow, but have the option for more time between words, and the option to pause so the next line isn't delivered back to back. There's only so much you can do with Split clip which has serious limitiations, especially with timing and visual overlap issues. TTS [Slower] doesn't work, or if it can work, it would need to not those words as it does now. Thanks, Matthew

This is again a common ask from most of our customers.

To create more compelling video stories with fresh and relevant visuals

Ability to upload and insert promotional video clips in the middle of a video as scenes - without necessarily breaking the flow of auto-synced voice over.

I prefer Texts as Logo instead of PNG logos. Sometimes both.

My idea is to add more attention grabbing transitions and better voiceovers on par with Elevenlabs, You may increas the price but it will be worth it and Pictory will be unbeatable

When creating videos with Pictory and WellSaid labs, the last frame of my video fades the audio which fades out my AI speaker... Being able to turn Fade In/Out on video would be a fantastic feature... Thank you for your consideration

Better organization for saved images. Create folders within Favorites so the images can be categorized based on the user's needs. This would make finding saved images that one wants to reuse more efficient. For instance, I could have folders labeled people, waterfalls, beaches, cats, used images, etc... Also, have the ability to move images between the different folders.

With the great addition of Getty images, I went to their website to have a look around. There is a great choice of videos available in 9:16 portrait that are great for making YouTube shorts as the action is central. Is it possible to filter search results within Pictory to show only portrait video clips? I tried searching for them with no success. If not, is it a feature that could be added? Thank you and keep rocking the updates :-)

Audio Only Preview would give the ability to preview the audio without needing to render and play visuals. This will be an extremely useful feature for previewing adjustments made to the script such as adding commas, etcetera. Following on from this idea it would be helpful to be able to download just the audio without having to first render the entire video.

This will streamline the work process. Currently, a user can only download 1 aspect ratio at a time. With this feature, a user could select the aspect ratio(s) needed, and it will all be downloaded with just 1-click.

When the voiceover pronounces a word, it is highlighted in the subtitles. A setting would allow to choose its color. Thank you!
