What is a Twitter video maker?
A Twitter video maker turns a script, an idea or a link into a short video for X (Twitter). In Pictory you choose a square or 16:9 format, edit the scenes, add captions and a voiceover, and download the MP4 to attach to your post.
Short and to the point. A video in a post works best when it makes one point, with the key words on screen for people scrolling on mute.
Pictory is a Twitter video creator that runs in your browser and is free to try. For other feeds, see the social media video maker.
