Daniel Bassill (@tutormentorteam) asked me to look at a newish video production tool, Pictory.ai. He, also, wanted a comparison between it and Lumen5.  Both have AI-generation capability and most of what is produced by each tool is AI with some human editing. I created each video from just the url for the poem I wrote. To sum up: Lumen5 is free as in beer and Pictory is freemium as in limited in various ways. Lumen5 wins. Pictory is more user-friendly although their interfaces are very similar. Pictory wins, but barely.

Here is the Pictory link.
