"Easy to use and very intuitive tools"
What do you like best about Animoto?

registration is very easy. The fact that it is a web application is excellent when you don't want to install anything on your pc. The tools are very easy to use, it is very intuitive and ideal for users who have no experience with video programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Animoto?

Plans can be somewhat expensive for casual users, unless you plan to take full advantage of the platform and plan to make a good number of videos per month, monthly payments can feel a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"animoto has an excellent resource gallery and a gallery with great music"
What do you like best about Animoto?

There are many things that I like about animoto such as its templates and its library, as it contains many resources to make my videos more professional and above all creative, and it also has a music library with a lot of licensed music that we can use without any problem since They are always available as well as it has versions for Android and for iPhone, this has helped us a lot especially to work on the go and also share content directly with our social networks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Animoto?

The only counter that we can find in animoto is its price since it only has a free version for 14 days and if you want to have all its features you must pay the full price for a month or a year even though there are many features and facilities that you provides animoto is very expensive compared to other companies Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool is Animoto"
What do you like best about Animoto?

Great tool and the best is the ease of use. I feel happy and at ease because it makes my life easier. Easy and very fast slides can be created thanks to the template options that it offers us. You can add music from the same Animoto interface and this is great, it is excellent and fun to create with Animoto, also when the work is finished it seems done by a professional, the tools it offers are essential because they also save us time and money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Animoto?

It is an excellent tool but what I do not like and that should solve is that it lacks some customization options to create animations and more. However, it offers other options that are useful, in terms of technical support they should add more languages to serve customers and so each client who wants to contact technical support would speak in native language and there would also be more effective solutions in each client's question.

"Very simple to implement and perfect for social media"
What do you like best about Animoto?

The easy drag and drop interface, with numerous templates and free of charge audio. The power to obtain in many measurements plus the new sq. video clip templates. You could also include voiceover straight from Animoto, that is terrific. Movies genuinely usually take minutes to create as an alternative to several hours.

What do you dislike about Animoto?

I'm able to be really rigid in construction, you can not combine and match items like transitions, even though this does appear to be a thing they may be doing work on. Including pics is excellent, however, if incorporating one particular extensive movie as opposed to clips, the editor can from time to time be really hard to make use of.
