Data Transfer Guide

InVideo AI doesn't offer direct project export to Pictory, so you'll need a manual transfer approach. First, export all text content: scripts, prompts, and article sources as text files from InVideo. Download any custom uploaded media (logos, images, audio) to your local storage. For video outputs, download final rendered videos for reference. In Pictory, use the 'Create Video' feature and paste your exported text content. Upload your custom media to Pictory's library. Recreate templates by matching InVideo styles to Pictory's template categories. Set up similar branding elements and default settings. The process is manual but straightforward if you organize exports systematically before beginning the Pictory setup.
