Text to video in under 5 minutes? 🎬

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! 🎥
