Short video clips are essential for social media, marketing, and content repurposing, but clipping and editing can be time-consuming. Pictory simplifies this process by automatically creating scenes from text, highlights, or uploaded media. The platform applies clean layout structures during generation and gives you full control to switch layouts later. When visuals need improvement, the Visuals tab in AI Studio allows you to create or refine imagery using simple prompts.


Pictory cuts editing time by automating key steps. It identifies natural breakpoints, builds scenes, adds captions, and lets you apply narration when needed. You can replace visuals, switch layouts, and update text instantly. This makes it easy to create promotional clips, educational snippets, social videos, and highlight reels without manual timelines or external editors.
