What are AI video templates?

An AI video template is a pre-built video project, with scenes, layouts, text styles and animations, that you fill with your own words and brand. The AI finishes it: an AI voice reads your text, captions follow the voice, and AI Studio can generate a visual for any scene.

Pick, edit, export. Pictory’s AI video templates are made by the Pictory team for marketing, training and customer support. Choose an AI template video, replace the placeholder text and visuals, and download it in landscape, mobile or square.

Whether you search for a template AI video or a video template AI tool, the result is the same: a finished, branded video, with every scene still editable in the storyboard editor.

Customize

Customize any template: brand, voice and size

Brand

Your brand kit on every template

Apply your brand kit and the template takes your logo, colors and fonts. You can even create the brand kit from your website’s address. It is the quickest way to make an AI video editor template your own.
