What you get
- You receive an edited video with selected visuals, narration and captions.
Choosing this tool
Choose Pictory for repurposing approved scripts or articles into stock-supported videos. Its annual finished-video pool is not a fully generated-video allowance. Compare Fliki for voice-led production and Lumen5 for branded text-to-video workflows with separate voice and animation pools.
A decision worked through
Thirty five-minute videos total 150 finished minutes. That fits within the listed 2,400 annual video minutes, but using a premium voice also consumes its separate voice pool. Generating new clips consumes AI credits; do not divide the video pool to estimate generated-clip capacity.

Limits & review
- The pricing page mixes annual headline allowances with a comparison table using other periods. This page uses the explicitly annual Starter card; verify the selected offer before checkout. Stock choices and captions still require editorial review.
