Joseph Johnson, the CEO of Kansal Clan Culture, using Pictory to promote his civil rights apparel business, and loves how it enables him to spend more time being creative and less time on the details of making videos!
The Challenge
Joseph faced several challenges before using Pictory:
- Time-Consuming Process: Joseph had to manually download videos, photos, and audio from various stock media sites. He spent extensive time searching for appropriate visuals and audio to match the narrative, and the scriptwriting process was tedious, requiring him to align the script with suitable media.
- Complexity in Video Creation: Creating videos was complex as Joseph utilized multiple tools for different aspects of video creation, such as Premiere for editing. He had to add animations, transitions, and branding separately in the editing software.
- Research Burden: Joseph needed to hunt down specific historical photos not available in stock media, and he spent significant time conducting searches for suitable stock photos, videos, and audio to build his narratives.
- Cost of Software: Maintaining memberships to various stock photo, video, and audio sites was costly for Joseph. He invested considerable effort in aggregating all the necessary assets for video production.
- Limited Output: The cumbersome and lengthy process limited the number of stories and narratives Joseph could produce. The overwhelming task of media aggregation and editing made it difficult for him to focus on creativity and storytelling.
