Marketing Executive Intern Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "CreateStudio: A Powerful and Accessible Tool for Creating Engaging Marketing Videos" August 7, 2026 5.0 Overall, from my perspective, CreateStudio has proven to be a great tool for creating promotional and advertising videos. It was a very useful asset that helped me achieve outstanding results in a short time. Specifically, it allowed me to create animated promotional and advertising content for our website and social media. I think it is worth considering by Marketing Professionals since it is an incredibly versatile and powerful tool that offers endless opportunities. Pros During my professional practice as a Marketing Executive Intern for Hackett & Hackett International Group Limited, I had the opportunity to operate CreateStudio. This tool stands out for being intuitive and easy to use thanks to its drag-and-drop interface. Another benefit is the ability to create videos quickly using the available templates, scenes, and characters. Moreover, I find this software impressive with its 3D animation and unique artificial intelligence features. Moreover, I enjoyed using this tool due to the possibility to rely on a wide range of characters and templates. In addition, it offers a good choice of branding options, including font, colour, logo, and other customisations. Cons However, my experience suggests that this software is not perfect, as it has some significant drawbacks, including a significant learning curve related to complex options and features. In addition, it can be challenging to operate CreateStudio when advanced editing, colour correcting, adding effects, and other post-production activities are needed. Furthermore, the tool can consume system resources when working with 3D characters and animation. Moreover, some features may only be available in the paid version, which can be costly. Finally, advanced editing capabilities may require additional training.

While performance can dip on larger projects, communication has become less transparent since the takeover, and the extra costs for assets and AI features are worth considering, the platform still delivers excellent results and is genuinely enjoyable to use. It’s a great choice for creators who want speed, simplicity, and professional-looking output without a steep learning curve. Pros I’ve been using CreateStudio for years, even before Banzai took it over, and it has consistently stood out as by far the easiest video editor and animation software on the market. The learning curve is remarkably gentle, so I was able to start creating polished videos quickly without spending hours figuring out the interface. I also really liked how intuitive the workflow feels, which makes it easy to move from idea to finished project with very little friction. For anyone who wants to produce professional-looking content without getting bogged down in technical complexity, that’s a huge advantage. Cons The biggest drawback is that large projects can slow things down quite a bit. Rendering final videos sometimes takes longer than expected, and processing edits can occasionally feel sluggish when projects become more complex. Since the takeover by Banzai, communication from the development team has also noticeably decreased, which used to be one of the strongest positives of the platform. I also think it’s important to be transparent about the pricing structure: the base software is useful on its own, but access to the extensive asset catalog requires a subscription, and AI features require credits. That adds value for some users, but it does mean the full experience comes at an extra cost. Switched from [Adobe Premiere Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/233456/Adobe-Premiere-Pro/) CreateStudio is by far easier to use, compared to Adobe Premier, especially in regard to animations.

October 31, 2024 1.0 You need to be cautious. They don’t allow online subscription cancellations. Pros nothing The system is not like the one they advertise; Cons The system is not like the one they advertise; it’s relatively complex and not adaptable to changes. Review Source JH John H. Owner Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A no-nonsense tool that just gets it done" July 25, 2025 5.0 I use CreateStudio 4 for commercial real estate explainers, social media shorts, and lead-gen clips. It’s become part of my content stack. I’m getting good views, actual leads, and I’m not burning hours trying to edit. I don’t need fancy transitions or Hollywood polish (which is provided should I need it and have less demanding deadlines of an hour from the boss) — I need videos that get watched and understood. CS4 delivers that. Pros It’s fast, easy to use, and doesn’t get in your way. I can go from concept to finished video in under an hour — even animated stuff — without hiring a team or opening five other apps. The asset library is huge, and everything runs smoothly even on an average laptop. Most tools either look dated or try too hard. This one just works. Cons Would be nice to have more UI customization or the option to save workspaces for different types of projects. Also, version control or better auto-save would help. Switched from [Filmora](https://www.capterra.com/p/186540/Filmora/) It isn't that Filmora wasn't great, it was more that we can do more with CS4 and the cost of the library was better.

Using this software for video creation, editing, animation are great value for money. Cons Characters are limited and you cannot create yours. Most times it takes time for the inbuilt character to pop up. Review Source ibrahim S. Writer Publishing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Createstudio is an amazing programme. It helps me a lot." March 12, 2025 5.0 I am a writer of English books for children. In order to make my books more interesting, I prepared videos related to the topics in my books. I upload the videos I have prepared to my youtube channel. The name of my channel is @twisterenglis. I have prepared 44 videos so far. I increase the number every day. I also promote my books with videos, shorts and reels videos with createstudio. Believe me, it works for me. I recommend it to everyone. Pros I like how user-friendly it is. When I have a problem and I send an e-mail, they respond within 10 minutes and solve my problem immediately. Their team is very valuable. You don't need to be a professional to use this program. A person who understands a little computer and is willing can do great things using this program. The team has already prepared great videos on how to use the program with youtube videos. Cons I don't have much trouble with the program, but after I make a video, it takes a while for the video to be ready. This may be related to my computer being slow. This problem can be overcome on a faster and fully equipped computer. Review Source AS Anthony S. Owner Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### " The best purchase I ever made!" February 20, 2025 5.0 Fantastic experience with the staff and support are always eager to help! I so pleased with the software I make tutorials for beginners using it to help others understand how to use the app easily! The best purchase I ever made! Pros Rated 5 out of 5 stars Create Studio is the best buy ever Create Studio is the best buy I have ever made the software is amazing. I have access to lots of media from integrated sites, and the softwares own massive libraries of assets. They now have even added new ai ways to create videos in different formats too which has wowed me even more in create studio 4 than the last version did (create studio 3). with the all access pass being a no brainer too. Cons using credits for ai but I understand why! Review Source RJK Rica Jane K. Owner Animation Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "CreateStudio is the Best" February 22, 2025 5.0 CreateStudio is a very versatile video editor, you could create like a pro even if you are a beginner. Pros I like the pixar like cartoon characters and I can change their clothing, the color, the accessories and a lot of actions. Cons I have not tried the bubble heads but I think because its the least I like. Also, why is the talk to speech has limited number of words? Review Source LB Lauren B. Lead Content Creator Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Handy tool for stress-free" May 8, 2025 4.0 I utilise CreativeStudio for create banners and edit my videos fast, and it was a good experience Pros It lets dragging pictures and letters together at no extra cost, it worth it Cons The font‑search bar lags like old chewing gum, some icons hide themselves behind weird menus Review Source LB Lindsay B. Social Media Manager Restaurants Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Makes Video Stuff Easier" June 11, 2025 5.0 Pros It’s a cool tool when you wanna make something more dynamic for edit easily and something robust for not cut and sound. The drag and drop is smooth and you don’t need to be a pro to make things look nice or spend hours. Cons Rendering can take some time, and the interface isn’t always super intuitive right away, but it’ll alright after some tries. Review Source KR Kris R. Director of Worship Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Well worth purchasing" November 4, 2022 5.0 I use the software mostly to create general announcements for our church events and activities. It's quick and easy to use and makes doing this task simple. The AI voices work great as I can make them fit the video easier but our audience doesn't really care for the robotic tones. Those voices have come a long way and are pretty close to real voices if we could get more fine details on inflections. The alternative of recording a real human voice over is easy to do if you like the sound of your voice or if you don't have to make several announcements and want them to sound different. Pros It's so easy to use that I can create several short videos in one evening. The drag and drop features are amazing and there is a lot of characters, backgrounds, and props to choose from. Cons Most of the animations are geared toward product sales or services. I wish there were more religious characters. Also there is good holiday assets but new holiday ones usually come out too late to use them in the same year. Transitions between scenes are lacking but they have just added more in the latest update. Lastly, it's hard to make full length video productions. This program is more designed for shorter video announcements or commercials.

General Partner Online Media Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Secret Weapon to Impressive Results" November 18, 2022 5.0 I learned CreateStudio in just a few days and mastered many of the advanced techniques in only a few weeks. CreateStudio is so easy yet powerful, that I have been able to have an idea for a video and then create such video in 1-day. My experience has been awesome! Pros Video has been and remains all the rage and the most effective way to market, educate and monetize. While there is much more advanced video editing software out there, CreateStudio has pioneered a new category of "easy" when it comes to video editing. After just a few short hours of learning the software, something strange happens, and you just take-off like a pro. Cons There are two areas that can use some improvement...1: The rendering time is a common issue with most video editing software, so not really CreateStudio specific, but I think just about everybody will agree that we want faster rendering when exporting the finished product.2. Not sure why, I think that this is some sort of oversight but the name of the currently active project would be nice. No, where on any of the screens of CreateStudio does it display the name or even the file name of the video project currently being edited. Makes it a nightmare when working with many sub-projects or even with versioning. This one baffles my mind how this software doesn't display the currently open video project anywhere. I can't tell you how many dups I have saved with "some\_video\_v1 ... v2 ... etc." because I forgot what file I was working on.

Co-Founder Graphic Design Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Create Studio Is Great" April 24, 2024 5.0 I have no complaints about this software, at first it a little difficult to make the characters do certain things, like walking for instance, that was my problem, but between CS support team and our amazing FB page, I have mastered that area and so much more. The Tutorials are amazing from support and other users. Pros I love the ease of using this software, it has everything you need and so much more. I love that I can do work on other software and bring it into CreateStudio to complete what I'm look for that the other program may lack. Cons I can't say that there is anything I really dislike about this program, but a few more 3D characters would make it PERFECT! Reason for choosing CreateStudio I was pretty satisfied with Toonly so I wasn't looking for any other products Switched from [Toonly](https://www.capterra.com/p/205553/Toonly/) Once CS upgraded to lip sync, it was very easy to switch, CS has loads more features.

Just be creative, bring your ideas to life, and let the animations and speech function do the talking. Pros The Createstudio team's prompt responses to technical support requests are commendable and greatly appreciated. In addition to their excellent customer service, the program itself is thoughtfully designed, making it user-friendly and easy to navigate for everyone. Cons What's not to like? Once you get familiar with the program and understand how versatile the software is, creating videos will be a breeze. Review Source CJ Charles J. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Nice software to make explainer videos" November 8, 2024 5.0 Overall when creating videos its been simple to use, albeit I don't use it as much as I would like but that is a time restraint on me not the application. Pros Personally I like that it is easy to use with a large number of currated scenes and a simple drag and drop editable application. Cons It did have a slight learning curve as we were used to using a similar but differerent application and the interface took a little getting used to. Review Source CH CHARLES H. Music and Radio show producer Entertainment Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "excellent program" November 9, 2024 5.0 overall the program is great and i hope to keep learning it so i can become good at creating videos and clips. Pros I'm still new with learning the program however i what i like the most is how fairly easy it is to maneuver. Cons I'm glad Create studio added a lot more character's but it could use some more african american hair styles and more general outfits to change also woman dreadlock style hair and maybe some asian characters as well. also maybe some DJ stuff.

Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great video creating software" November 1, 2024 4.0 I've used create studio for a number of video projects Pros Create Studio offers an easy to use dashboard and editor Cons Not always easy to access templates but that may be me! Review Source Adham H. Senior Social Media Specialist, Senior Graphic Designer Broadcast Media Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Animation videos on the go, as easy as taking a picture" January 7, 2024 4.0 When we first launched our app in the region, we wanted our target audience to understand the concept of our app, and CreateStudio filled in that gap, we created the very first video in the region, which was an informative video where a character explains how the app works, and it made wonders, now after 10M+ downloads we still use it from time to time to create some of the best animation videos there is, without the need of hiring an animator. Pros You finally find a software that doesn't cost you that much amount of money to do the work of a 3D animator in a few minutes, from creating characters to animating their movement even their lips, you can create 3D informative videos for your business without a high knowledge on video editing, and can even do basic video editing, and dragging and dropping any animation in the library. and rendering takes literally no time, like at all. Cons Nothing to dislike, but one for the notes, i wish they added more templates to use from, it would have saved me tons of times. and sometimes the timeline gets cluttered. Review Source KM Karma M. Special Education Teacher E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best for hands-off, high impact video creation, but it comes at a price" October 21, 2022 4.0 I have made many useful videos using CreateStudio. However, I keep another video creation software open to have access to basic features like cropping. It is overall a fun software to use, but I continue to have moments of feeling surprised that certain features are ones I do not have access to as a lifetime member or that certain features simply do not exist. Pros Non-human characters and Text to Speech with modifying options make this one of the only animation softwares with drag and drop character animations with the possiblity of child-friendly animated cartoon characters. Direct access to media hosting websites saves your data storage and allows for inspired additions to your projects in the moment. Cons Unless you are paying gor their highest level of membership access to the media library including characters and project templates is limited to about 10% of their content. Transitions between character animation presets are non existant making for choppy motions when chainging animations in a scene. Review Source Robin G. Director Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I use Create Studio to do everything from clips to full on videos. Plus.... it is real fun to use." November 18, 2022 5.0 Easy to implement, I created videos and derivative versions of videos that I have been part creating elsewhere, so this - bang got the job done and quite literally all the components you need are at hand, so you don't have to go looking all over the web for clips. You can also import lottie files to add even more animation features. So to recap, I would do a USA version then replicate it and change for other languages and places in the World, changing clips as I need to within the main vid master. Cool. Pros It is easy to pick up how to use. The interface is great so you don't struggle looking for stuff and " how to do"s". I actually got it originally to do some short clips for selling on our websites and ended up creating a full on 4 minute video, with voiceover and using all the clips from within Create Studio itself. When I needed help the team were there for me and helped out instantly, truly a great and fun software. Cons I can't think of anything I don't like, it is genuine fun and highly productive software that speeds up creation dramatically. Reason for choosing CreateStudio I have the other products too, However in practise I only use Create Studio Review Source MF Michael F. Owner / CEO Consumer Electronics Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "My Personal Opinions of the Features and Capabilities of the CreateStudio Software Tool" November 18, 2022 5.0 I am just starting out learning the ins and outs of 3D video creation and editing. I am a brand new user of this software tool and I LOVE IT !! It has given me the ability (and more importantly, the confidence) to believe that I can actually do it. Pros The ease and speed at which I can get from "a thought" to something that I can use to show to others to discuss and further develop the video creation. Cons The thing that I like least about this software is the inability to import and animate 3D characters that are created by third party developers. (I understand the depth and complexity of offering this capability. I am just saying that if it was possible .. there would be no stopping you guys !!)What the developers at CreateStudio have done with their software tool is absolutely impressive and amazing. However, I feel that I am seriously limited in what I have to work with, with respect to 3D characters .. both human and animal. If the team at CreateStudio could come up with a way to be compatible with some of the other 3D character developers out in the market, then that CS would be KING !! Reason for choosing CreateStudio It was the combination of the cost versus the capabilities and ease of use that made me select CreateStudio. Sure there are some things that I would like it to do / do better .. but that goes for all video development tools. For the most part, I seriously appreciate the forward thinking and capabilities that are put into the CS tool. I very seriously look forward to what is planned for in the coming months / years. Kudos to all of you at CreateStudio. Review Source Arthur C. Business Owner Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great program for both, advanced video creators and for the novice." November 18, 2022 5.0 This product has far exceeded my expectation in allowing me to make videos for my Youtube and Tiktok platforms. Pros Overall the product is easy to use. As with any new product, there is a learning curve. After working with the product for several months I became more efficient at completing each task. I still have much to learn from the many options this product offers. I find that the templates have benefited me the most. Cons I find that editing the pre-formatted templates is a little challenging, but as I use them more I gain a better understanding of how to perform the tasks. Reason for choosing CreateStudio The primary reasons were the all-inclusive package that the product offered, the support of the staff, and the ever-increasing features that are added on a regular basis.

November 7, 2022 5.0 I am now able to create attention getting multi media ads very reasonably. This is extremely important for small business owners. Pros I love virtually everything about this product. It is mostly easy to use, and what I can't figure out for myself, customer support is amazingly quick to respond. Cons With every product there are always things that could be improved. The only thing I know of that could be improved thus far, is the users ability to lengthen the background tracks. I am having a little problem with that, but I know CS will help me get through it. Review Source ALO Asire Lenny O.

Cons Somehow slow when publishing the final product, but still manageable. And I believe they will get it better Review Source Eric Y. CEO Broadcast Media Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "It makes making video so much easier and fun" February 2, 2024 5.0 Pros Create Studio can make video just by changing the template to start with. That's an amazing experience. There are tones of apps out there that do so but not in a complete way. CC outstands those Cons The characters are still less and variety of actions are yet limited, but I will like to grow with the team. Reason for choosing CreateStudio If a software is easy to use and to start with, it wins the heart of the user.
