### "Best video software ever!"

April 2, 2020

5.0

It has helped me create videos for proteins and cancer molecules with a high level of precision and quality.

Pros

Animoto has been very helpful and easy to use to make high quality looking videos. It is an extremely user friendly software with various editing options. Videos look amazing!

Cons

The software is very easy to use and it provides a lot of customization options, but I wish it would have more sound options to accommodate and remove background noise.

### "Animoto for Training Video Creation"

July 19, 2021

5.0

Pros

It is really easy to drag and drop content into the software, and manipulate it within Animoto. I like being able to cut clips, and pick music to make the perfect training video. Animoto also provides a lot of template options, that are really easy to use and always look nice! Videos in Animoto are easy to download and share with employees within a learning management system, on workplace, and by link!

Cons

I was disappointed when the ability to voice over within Animoto became no longer available. It was nice to be able to record in Animoto!

### "Terrible customer service"

January 13, 2020

2.0

Easy to use when it actually works, but too many glitches.

Pros

Easy to use when it actually works. Lots of templates and easy options to create a quick video.

Cons

Over the years I have noticed this software is clunky and just does not work some times, doing the basic functions it is suppose to do. You can never reach customer service. I had an issue a while back I must have sent 10 emails about and never received a communication back from them, and they offer no phone support I am looking for new software to use

### "Creating videos with Animoto"

August 26, 2021

4.0

Pros

Animoto allows for video creation which can be used in different presentations and virtual or face to face sessions. There are useful templates and it allows users to customize to suit their purpose. Videos can be downloaded and shared.

Cons

There are some good features but I would have liked even more options in the media library.

### "Animoto Is A Fun Video Creation Platform"

November 20, 2017

5.0

We use Animoto create videos!

Pros

Our marketing teams have used Animoto to create fun, engaging videos for digital advertising campaigns.

Cons

There isn't much to dislike about Animoto. But, I do feel that if they add a few more features, it would be much more valuable.

### "Versatile and easy to create videosq"

December 28, 2021

5.0

Pros

I am a professional editor and producer and sometimes all I really need is something quick and easy. Work, school, or neighborhood party slideshows look amazing. The options, video and music library make for some original looking work.

Cons

Sometimes I feel it limits what I can do with the videos - but it's easy for a reason. Options are limited to keep it simple.

### "For Simple Videos"

September 5, 2019

3.0

For straightforward videos to get a short and simple message across, Animoto works. But it doesn't have the quality of a video put together by someone with video editing skills.

Pros

When it came time to make small videos quickly for upcoming events or announcements, Animoto was a simple program that allowed us to do just that.

Cons

The program is limited in what it can do and has a very tell-tale look. I've been able to spot Animoto videos at other businesses just from the style.

### "Animoto the do it all quick editor"

February 18, 2021

5.0

This software has really made all the difference when I have had to showcase photos or make a presentation more interesting. It really is a game changer.

Pros

I love how this software is a great tool to showcase photos and videos. Also I love the social media side of it too. The music library is awesome too.

Cons

I hope the software keeps growing and adding new features and new options for use to use. I really enjoy it and don't want to keep using the same shows so thanks for always making it better for the user.

### "Helpful but Limited "

June 13, 2019

4.0

Animoto is great for creating short videos to post on social media and quick announcements or thank you's to send out to our database. It might not meet all of your video needs, but if you're looking to create something fast that looks relatively good, it can be really helpful for a low price.

Pros

Videos made through Animoto look great. Their templates look professional and clean and are super easy and quick to customize. Learning how to create videos through their website was quick and painless, and they are great for posting on social media.

Cons

After awhile, Animoto videos begin to look the same. While they do offer a variety of templates, they are all very similar videos with images, clips, and text. While their system is easy to use, it may not allow for as much customization and creativity as people are looking for.

### "Photographer Review"

December 21, 2018

5.0

Pros

I like the different music and template options this software offers. I like how creating a video for my clients adds that extra something to their photography packages. The videos are also great for marketing and attracting new clients!

Cons

The least i like about this software is the that you have to have a membership in order to use it, would be nice to have the option to make one video and pay for that one video in case you dont need to make more than one every now and again.

5.0

Overall Animoto is a great video editor for every day use.

Pros

Easier to use than most out there. Loads of customization options built right in. Android app works great too.

Cons

There are times when there's a little more expected and a compromise is necessary in what you want to do.

### "Video Creating platform to showcase your product"

February 23, 2021

5.0

Pros

It has many user friendly features. It provides unlimited video making on free version as well as on paid version. I can choose from their pre made templates to showcase my products and design my own too.

Cons

The only con I feel here is that is has a watermark of 'Animoto' in trial version and the quality of video is low as compared to

March 6, 2019

October 14, 2019

It was easy to build videos using pictures and other small snippets of video.

Pros

I liked how easy it was to create a video that sounded and looked professional. Their free templates and music were sufficient for me to build a work video and also do some videos for friends.

Cons

Everything worked great. The software is mature and easy to use. I couldn't find anything that i did not like.

### "Awesome tool for small business - makes you look like a pro!"

September 23, 2019

5.0

Great. Purchased at a conference and have used it a lot over the past year. Makes our business look professional and put together with minimal effort. You can't beat it for the price. Would highly recommend to any one.

Pros

Easy to use, drop and drag, pick your song, add your text, move items where you like, easy to add/trim video clips, great templates for all different types of events. Easy to upload to social media and you tube.

Cons

Song pacing can be an issue if you are making a longer video. Would like to see an ability to password protect videos for a members only situation.

### "Cool Video Tool!!"

April 11, 2018

4.0

Pros

For the classroom I really like that Animoto is very user-friendly and easy to use. There is a good variety of music/songs to add to the photo slideshows. Most of the kids have limited experience yet find they can easily create videos using the free version. Animoto allows me to create videos and publish them easily on my website and on YouTube.

Cons

watermark with non-pro version is a small annoyance for the kids when they finish there videos. We simply cannot afford to buy a subscription to the software.

I used it for a short while in my business and however many useful it might've had been, it surely wasn't that functional, as in advanced presentation making.

### "Animoto gives me a very engaging way to connect with my school community."

May 19, 2018

Pros

It's FREE! I really like how easy it is to create a good looking video through the Animoto ap. It just takes a few taps to have a video ready to post and share. My school parents love seeing what their kids are up to at school.

Cons

With the free version, you cannot customize with your own music. Also, there is a limit as to how many pictures you can use.

April 24, 2018

Animoto is an user friendly video editing software. The output quality is fantastic. This product makes videos look professional with very little learning curve. The built in components are well designed and high quality. The interface is simple and easy to follow. The finishing process is quick and efficient.

Cons

My only complaint is the limited text, backgrounds, and sounds that come with the purchase of the software. There are plenty of add ons that are priced. A few more features would be nice.
