I like video generation in Powtoon. The digital aspect and video creation is something I value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Powtoon?

I think they should give you more credit at the start to be able to use the free version, because they don't allow you to do anything with the credits they give you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Variety of Video-Making Resources, but high pricing"

What do you like best about Powtoon?

the variety of resources on video making Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Powtoon?

Limited tools in the education version. I have a paid educational version, and I still feel it’s very limited in what it offers. Also, the pricing is high for people from other countries whose currencies differ. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Powtoon for creating videos and appreciate the quick and easy solution it provides. I like the various options in the templates, which are easy to use. Additionally, having everything in one spot is convenient because I don't have to pull pictures from one place or music from another; it's all in the same area.

"Fun and cute but not user friendly"
2/5
What do you like best about Powtoon?

All the cute made-ready designs, the themes, the elements, and the AI text-to-speech function. (Highly recommend using Daniel as a professional and friendly male voice!)

Great for a global team to keep track of templated video clips, such as video intro/outro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Powtoon?

1. The timeline limitation. You can only add or cut one second at a time, and cannot adjust the timeline by less than one second. This makes video creation buggy. Because if I have an audio that's 10.3 seconds long, I'll have to make the timeline 11 seconds. That 0.7 second of silence will be awkward.

2. Lack of flexibility for animations and transitions. You cannot adjust the speed or time for any animations, which makes the video seem too rushed and doesn't really fit the audio.

3. Adding texts are not user friendly. You'll have to drag the text to where you want it to be, and then click the textbox multiple times for you to edit it. Sometimes your edits to the text will not be saved properly, so make sure to double-check if the final work is what you want.

4. AI text-to-speech works well, but the character limitation is so annoying!! 600 characters at a time is really not enough. And if you have multiple audio tracks on one slide, the timeline will be messed up. And when you try to drag the audio tracks to the correct timing, the timeline will not allow you to do so properly. You'll have to click the 'edit' mode and then come back to 'create' mode for the timeline to work properly. E.g, if your window is showing [0:17-0:35] right now, but you want to drag your audio clip from [0:20] to [0:01], then you'll have to click 'edit' and then back to 'create' multiple times for the audio to be dropped to 0:01. Or else it will forever be stuck at [0:17]. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
