Pros

There is an amazing collection of templates and characters to choose from and the creators are incredibly generous and supportive with digital assets and guidance on how to use them.
Been using CreateStudio from the day it was launched. I've seen their growth and improvements to this video editor along with the amazing technology they have integrated over time.
I love the ease of use, the clear and intuitive interface, and the great asset library that comes with the All-Access-Pass subscription.

Pros

I like everything about Doodly. I like that it is very easy and intuitive to use and I can create amazing doodle explainer videos.
I was looking online for video creating software and I tried many of them and eventually, I kept only the ones I truly found useful and with a great team behind them. I have Doodly and I love it.
Each time I use Doodly I am both impressed at the quality and how difficult it is to produce a good advert using it.

Cons

If you decide to play around and use a lot of components in the working area, it lags very bad.
It’s still missing a few simple design features and feels “clunky at times” and difficult to combine projects.
Lastly, hate that you must email them to move your license from one computer to another. Other companies allow you to log into your account and change it instead, this way you're not waiting on them.

Cons

It was very unpleasant to see this message when I was buying this and you got to the part where they were offering you to upgrade it to add more doodles.
Maybe it’s a user error and I need to figure out how to do it.
There's not much of a difference between the 2 just that it has more doodles to work with. But there are several doodles that are badly drawn or difficult to work with.

Good For Adapting Church to Online

Reviewed 2 years ago

Previously I had used Toonly, Doodly, and Talkia. I find CS a big improvement

Pros

cs works with the computers we have, the skills we've got, and our budget. There are also a lot of training videos on YouTube

Cons

I can't export as GIF. I'm still working out how to manage archiving and cleanup of files I don't want anymore... This isn't in the start up instructions.

CreateStudio

Great product!

Reviewed 2 years ago

I feel I made the right decision, between CreateStudio vs. Doodly / Toonly vs. several other options I consider. CreateStudio is the option with good basic features without an expensive price tag.

Pros

A great product! Easy to learn and comes with great features even in the basic package. I didn't purchase any additional, only the Pro software, and it works out for my video creation/editing needs. It is a much better experience than iMovie, which I used initially.

Cons

More free templates for different use cases. It will boost productivity with much additional cost.

This software offers similar functions that are found in Toonly , Doodly and Camtasia. Very pleased with the continued development and support of the product. Well developed tutorial videos are top notch!

Pros

It provides professional 3D characters within a project with ease.

Cons

The talk action works ok but a lip sync function would be an improvement. The TTS voice choices are very limited.

Unexpectedly good features

Reviewed 2 years ago

I am in digital marketing and always investigate new products that could help me create attention getting video content. CreateStudio Pro is one of those tools.

Pros

I have used other animator products, like Explaindio, Powtoons, Doodly and Tunely, and Reallusion Crazy Talk Animator, and was skeptical of CreateStudio Pro at first, but it has surprised me pleasantly, and is much more feature rich than I expected. I get notified of new features regularly, which is also unexpected but great!

Cons

They are working on more transitions and wipes, so I do Special ones outside of CreateStudio in Corel Video Studio Pro, but I think I will see more of these added in the next year. I wish I could create custom hands for the writing, like dog paws.

CreateStudio

CreatStudio is a hidden gem

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

Having used other types of animation style software like doodly and powtoon, I can say that I like the easy of use and versatility that createstudio offers. It's has a pretty strong set of abilities and it's easy to use them. Great options for the price you pay. You can always pay more for more options later.

Cons

It's ability to do things like whiteboard is limited and alot of features, like advanced templates are hidden behind additional paywalls that appear after you have already paid for the software. I've never liked that tactic, but it appears to be the standard as other similar software bundles offer the same type of service.
