Wistia is a complete video marketing platform that helps teams create, host, and measure the impact of their videos – all in one place.
For content marketing, social media, internal communication and promotional use cases.
I love how easy it is to use this software and how simply they explain how it works. The free version was so awesome that I decided to upgrade just so I could have access to more cool video tools.
I don't like how you have to pay for integration. It makes it hard to tell how it will integrate with other software before we pony up money for it.
The ability to replace a video without having to update all the locations it exists. This option is awesome because you have the choice to keep the statistics or start fresh.
Video organization and seo setup can be confusing.
Love how easy and fun this user interface is to use. The videos look great in the players and the feature rich customization is helpful.
The limited file size can be irksome, as we always record our videos in RAW. So, we always have to convert and compress our footage before we can put it on Wistia.
Aside from being an amazing and super ultra easy to use tool, it has so many different articles and resources on how to polish up your video production skills.
No options to edit or filter video recordings.
This is one of the best software's I have ever come across, it was a great experience.
I paid 12 months subscription. But after 2 months, i found problems and asked a partial refund for my remaining credits/months, they refused.
I LOVE the ease of designing and launching these videos. The videos were well received by all who viewed them.
If you aren't careful you can easily publish a video that is not the video you created rather a choppy, incomplete video with missing scenes and errors.
Its built to be easy to use and the AI is actually pretty good in taking text and generating a video. Lots of objects, backgrounds and media to choose from and easy to upload your own content.
But if you use all of the features you will find that it may be one of the most frustrating platforms you have ever worked with.
When we first bought rawshorts it seemed like a godsend compared our graphics design artist and executive director spending all day recording and editing a 3 minute update video.
Very manual process of building videos. ABSOLUTELY terrible if you want to edit a templated video.
Durgesh: Hi, my name is Durgesh. I am a content creator for icsbits.com, which is a cybersecurity mentoring platform for potential cybersecurity enthusiasts and professionals. And I give Wistia a four star out of five. Before using Wistia, we used Camtasia and their publishing platform. Of course, we also tried to use YouTube and all of the other open source free applications that are available. I chose Wistia for a couple of reasons. One is the ability to create different projects and also keep them private, do collaboration with others in the team. And the other reason I chose Wistia is the analytics that it provides us with a lot of information about the watched videos, the number of hours watched, and the clicks on any sort of call to action type of features on the video. So those were some of the reasons why we chose Wistia over the other platforms. Sure. So started using Wistia as the free tier. It was really simple. So go onto their website, put in a couple of information, your email address and name of the company just to get started. And then you are signed into their free tier account where you can use that for unlimited use. However, they have limitations on the number of videos. And so I had to reach out to them to see if they can help me understand how I can test certain lengths of the videos. And they were able to actually help me out by extending some of those limitations because I was working with them. And also, I started using Wistia in a very early stage in their development. So I probably have some cool features there on the free tier that nowadays you may not be able to get on a free tier, but their support has been extremely useful in terms of getting to know the product. And so yeah, onboarding was really, really easy. You do it on your own, you sign up and then you ask for help when you need it. So one consideration for using Wistia is your use case. So if you have a use case that you are trying to create content for an organization, a company, this is an excellent product, but there are some caveats to using Wistia versus YouTube because you are limited to certain quotas on how many videos you can upload. Of course, they provide you with tiered memberships. So those are something you want to look for before you start using the platform. Because with any platform, once you start putting all your videos in and you start investing in that platform, you want to make sure it can scale out and then it's also affordable as you move through this process of using Wistia or any other product. But in this case, Wistia.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
