Data Transfer Guide

Pictory doesn't offer direct project export functionality, so you'll need to manually download your assets. Export completed videos via the download button on each project page, choosing MP4 format for best compatibility. Save scripts by copying text from Pictory's editor into documents. For media assets, note which stock elements you frequently use, as you'll need to find equivalents in InVideo AI's library. Organize downloaded files by project type and date. In InVideo AI, upload these scripts to recreate videos, using the original videos as reference for styling. While you can't import Pictory projects directly, this method preserves your content foundation.
