“Customization can also feel somewhat limited depending on what you are trying to achieve. While it is great for quick content creation it is not as flexible as traditional video editing tools for more detailed or creative projects.”

President

“The user interface is clean and intuitive which makes it accessible even if you do not have a background in video editing.”
