What is a digital marketing video maker?

A digital marketing video maker is a tool that produces campaign videos for ads and social quickly. In Pictory you start from a script, a product page or an idea, then export the formats each channel needs, with captions and your brand on every version.

Built for campaigns, not one-off films. Digital marketing video lives on variants: different hooks, lengths and sizes for each audience and placement. Pictory makes those from one project, so testing a new angle takes minutes instead of a new edit.

Among digital marketing tools, Pictory is the video part. Repurposing posts and webinars instead? See the content marketing video maker.

How it works

How to make campaign video variants

To make campaign video variants in Pictory, write one script, then ask the AI video agent for different hooks and lengths. Export each variant in 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1 with captions, and you have a set of videos ready to test in your ad accounts.

  1. Write one script

    The offer, the audience and the call to action.

  2. Ask for variants

    New hooks and lengths, keeping the rest.

  3. Add captions and brand

    Captions timed to the voice, your brand kit on.

  4. Export each size
