Yeah, I didn't believe it either. But then I tried Pictory. Pictory is an AI video tool that turns scripts, URLs, images, and even PowerPoints into videos. I've been playing with it for creating training content and it's stupid simple. Here's how I use the text-to-video feature: 1️⃣ Go to your favorite LLM (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) 2️⃣ Prompt it: "Create a script about ____. I only want the script, no notes, no instructions." 3️⃣ Copy/paste that script into Pictory and hit enter 4️⃣ Review your storyboard, swap out any videos you don't love 5️⃣ Add voiceover, background music, branding, gifs, stickers (all optional) 6️⃣ Change caption text style if you want, hit preview Done. Video ready. What can you make with this? 🔹 Course content 🔹 Webinar promos 🔹 Training videos 🔹 YouTube Shorts 🔹 Social media clips The options are honestly endless. Pricing is reasonable too: 💰 Starter: $29/mo (200 video mins) 💰 Professional: $59/mo (600 video mins) 💰 Team: $199/mo (1800 video mins, 3+ users) 💰 Enterprise: Custom pricing They all have free trials if you want to test it first. I'm not an affiliate for them (but a friend of mine is so I’m sharing her link - alicialyttle.com/pictory). I’m just genuinely impressed with how much time this saves. If you're creating any kind of video content for your marketing, give it a shot. Good luck with your creations! 🎥 👇Already using AI for video?

I normally don’t ask for favors in here… but today I’m making a small exception. Our team at Endeavor Exhibits has a booth design that made it into the People’s Choice Awards, and voting opened today. Here’s the fun part. We’re a small, scrappy team going up against companies with 700–800 employees. So this one really feels like a David vs. Goliath moment. If you have 10 seconds today, I’d be incredibly grateful if you’d toss a vote our way. 👉 Vote here:https://www.exhibitoronline.com/awards/pma/peoplesChoice-vote.asp?exhibit=DSV If you’re feeling extra generous, you can vote once per day through March 31st. No pressure at all! I know everyone here is busy building amazing things, but every vote helps our little team compete with the big dogs. And if we somehow pull this off… I promise I’ll share the behind-the-scenes story of how the booth came together. Thanks for even considering it. I appreciate this community more than you know. – HB P.S. If you want to help the underdog win, set a quick daily phone reminder that says “Vote for HB’s booth!” until March 31st. It only takes a few seconds.
