Create nice videos with variety of animation styles for the Text which appears on the video

Be able to clone my voice similar as dine using AI voices so that I do not have to do voiceovers for each video using my voice manually

Add main headings, sub-headings, and animate them differently. Would make the final video nicer!

Our Vietnamese customers would like to create video by feature Script to Video. But in the present, only English is supported. I understand what problem that our customers facing. So I propose my idea to Pictory AI if they could implement Vietnamese language for those features: Script to Video Text to Speech as well (very appreciate) Many thanks if you could help us, Best regards, Viet Anh MKT A Youtuber

The video clips that Pictory finds are usually very good, but most of them are standard 16:9 aspect ratio so when they're used for a vertical video for Tiktok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube shorts, a lot of the content is missing. Having stock footage for 9:16 aspect ratios included into Pictory's ai would be a great benefit. Additionally, iMovie doesn't allow users to generate vertical videos currently. A work around is to edit it vertically (in a 16:9 aspect ratio), then rotate it 90 degrees and export it sideways. It would be great if Pictory could rotate uploaded video footage to fix this, however there are other workarounds that I am currently able to use.

By default a video will loop when it is shorter in duration than the voice-over for a scene. It would be helpful to give a warning when this occurs and give us the option to: freeze the starting and/or ending frame of the video; adjust the speed of the video to fit; split the scene at the end of the video; or take the default looping of the video.

Ken Burns made infamous the use of pan/zoom across still images to convey motion. Pictory's Pan&Zoom implementation should do this, but it is completely broken and unusable - and can not possibly produce good results without input from the user, which it does not do! You need a UI that allows the user to select 1) an image 2) a source rectangle 3) a destination rectangle. This allows the user full control over the transition, speed of movement, etc. Pictory only has implemented step 1. How could Pictory possibly get a good result without this - how do you know where the start/end of the transition is? I'll bet you could have this implemented in two weeks from design to final QA if your team really tried. https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rippletraining.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2015%2F01%2Fimage5.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=ccac7e63ebd85b81d9aa36af3f437ae1a581a8a3815ba3de5861a402314cd6c2&ipo=images

It would ne nice to have Text boxes with circular edges for better asthetics please

This would add much more interest to the video scenes and allow for more precise narration.

The Eleven Labs voices are awesome, but as more and more people use them, our videos lose their uniqueness. Your competitor allows you to upload a recording of your own voice, from which it generates an AI-cloned voice that sounds just like you. Then, you can generate a video with your own voice without having to do the actual voiceover yourself. Eleven Labs lets you do this too, so hopefully it would be easy to integrate into Pictory. It is necessary because in order to do this currently with Pictory, you need a voice clone from Eleven Labs, and a second level Pictory account, and the price is more than double your competitor. Thank you.

ability to bring in a greater of variety of footage via an extra couple of portals ie. Prelinger.com or public domain archive https://archive.org/details/public-domain-archive https://pdimagearchive.org/

"Once upon a time, there was a curious little cat named Whiskers. She loved exploring the neighborhood and making new friends. One day, she found a hidden garden full of colorful flowers and butterflies. Whiskers spent the afternoon chasing butterflies and basking in the sun, happy and free. From that day on, she knew every day could be an adventure."

When you don't add a pause at the beginning of the scene, it doesn't allow you to see content and get oriented to the scene. It just kind of "slaps" you in the face when it comes up. I add a pause to each scene and it is time consuming. It would be nice to have a way to do this all at once.
