Bill B
Creative Director
4.0

Bill: Hi, I'm Bill. I'm with Indian All Stars. And I love CreateStudio, I'll give it a four out of five. I use CreateStudio to create social media posts, mostly. I use the AI voice generator as well as the character animation to create my social media posts. The thing I like most about CreateStudio is the really pretty easy interface. I've used a lot of different video software over my career, but this is all pretty compact and easy to understand for even people that really don't have much experience in that world. If I had to pick one thing that I don't like or that could be improved on, and this is kind of nitpicking, is the render time. Any video software, it takes a bit of time to render and catch up and create the finished product. But when we add in the customized animation and that kind of stuff, it takes a little bit of time for the finished product to come out.

Graphic Designer
5.0

Speaker 1: Hi, my name is Rebecca. I'm a graphic designer working for a nonprofit library, and I give PowToons five out of five. The other products that we were considering when we chose PowToon and made this decision, we were looking into iMovie, we were looking into Adobe products, and PowToon seemed easier, more user-friendly, and it overall was more cost-effective for our organization. With choosing PowToon, it was more user-friendly for beginners within our organization. We found that it was easier with the templates, with the different content, different applications that you can use within PowToon for our staff members, whether they were beginners or whether they had more video experience or more editing experience. So overall, PowToon was our choice. During the onboarding beginning stages of using PowToon, we first started it with a small group of our staff members and got them trained, and then they were able to work with other staff members who would use PowToon more widely. And overall, it was very easy to get started with PowToon, with the staff members on PowToons on their side, and they were able to answer any technical questions we had or any, either tiny questions that we had, and we were able to also find answers to questions on their website very easily. I would recommend to other organizations who are looking at PowToons, that if they're looking for something that's very user-friendly, straightforward, easy to use from just editing and exporting and sharing, PowToon is probably the right choice for you. There are so many capabilities within PowToon, that I feel that it could be beneficial for any organization.
