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

Overall I am really impressed with the quality of the animations that I created using Toonly and would definitely recommend it.
I have loved working with toonly, support was great when I had a question and there are so many great features.
I like the multitude of actions that the characters have. I like the fact that it is a drag & drop software and I like the fact that it is super intuitive.

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

But the more I used it, the more I began to be frustrated with the lack of templates and the gap between what I knew how to do and what I saw the product should be able to do.
The lack of training in how to create a masterful product as well as the relative lack of template designs to use.
And feel hell if you will purchase only basic version.

No Competition

Reviewed 4 years ago

I had also purchased Toonly before purchasing CS. I am feeling that my money wasted in Toonly. Where were you CS? I am truly impressed.

Pros

I am a Tax Consultant and often uses the Create Studio for the online presentations. In last week I had prepared an invitation for my webinar on Tax. The people surprised that how could you prepare such a fantastic invitation. Because being a Tax consultant they didn't expected such a video from me.

Cons

The price of Individual characters are very high.

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.

Excellent!

The monthly updates, ease of use, very cool interface, lots of valuable assets and features.

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.

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.
