How To Edit Videos Using Text With Pictory

1. Sign up for a FREE Pictory account and select Edit Videos Using Text on the account home page.

2. Copy a Youtube URL or upload video or audio files from your laptop or PC (making sure it’s in an MP4 format.)

3. When the video file uploads, you will also have a complete video transcript text alongside it. The AI software will also add subtitles automatically.

4. Here you can delete sections of the entire video in just a few clicks. You can remove filler words, pauses, and entire sentences by using the transcript.

5. You can also create custom highlight videos or have Pictory auto-highlight a customizable percentage of your video into separate short video clips.

6. With the video editing features here you can also choose a custom template for captions, which are automatically applied.

   You can also replace words to correct spelling or other issues.

7. You can also change the aspect ratio of the finished video, but bear in mind this will crop the original video if moving from 16:9 to 9:16 or 1:1.

8.  Once you proceed to the storyboard page, you can edit the text in greater detail, adjusting the captions to suit your needs.

   You can use text editing tools here in other ways, such as adding a text box to a scene and including custom fonts.
