Pros

“Security – I would like something more secure to save projects as encrypted files, as we sometimes work on sensitive lookbook designs.”

Yasser A.

Graphic Designer

“It helps produce videos for beginners easily and video editing is also beginner friendly.”

Nasreen H.

Assistant professor

“Customer service is acceptable but could be quicker in resolving inquiries relating to export/export licensing or any non-functionality issues.”

Yasser A.

Graphic Designer

Pros

“My final thoughts about this program are positive since it allowed me to create compelling videos for promotional and marketing purposes even with modest computer specs.”

Bruno M.

Digital Marketing Assistant

“For example, there are no lower thirds, kinetic callouts, animated intros, or other motion graphics.”

Bruno M.

“Secondly, it is multi-platform and can run on different operating systems and computers.”

Cons

“First, the free version always adds an intrusive, centred watermark to your exported videos.”

Bruno M.

Marketing Executive Intern

“Sometimes the AI function is spotty with captions, and I end up having to go in and edit so this also does consume some time I was expecting to save.”

Yoshio L.

Video Editor Content Creator

“terrible, annoyed and I just want my money back, so many red flags, like the fact you cant refund me, like not having an option for monthly subscription but instead it is yearly”
