"Promo Review"

2/5

What do you like best about Promo?

In a short amount of time, you can create relatively polished content for internal and external use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Promo?

Though I was impressed at first, I quickly learned that Promo videos were easily identifiable as there is a "cookie cutter" aspect to the finished product. With not a lot of audio to choose from, videos quickly seem the same as many others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Promo:

Limited time durations greatly diminishes the versatility of this content generation platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Promo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Creating content for television and digital advertising quickly and in a pinch. Also, access to stock video footage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It's So Easy and Fast I Made Two Videos While Commuting on the Train"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Promo?

The quality of videos and music to choose from. Not to mention how easy it is to have the final professional product so quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Promo?

The user interface is so stripped down that sometimes it can get frustrating. Especially when it comes to the length and formatting of text. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Promo:

This solution is not for everyone. It is pretty minimalistic and geared more toward someone inexperienced with video who needs something fast and easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Promo solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use promo for inexpensive video ads. The ability to create this quality of video without hiring an entire team, setting ups lighting, scripts, actors....sometimes simple is so much better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5

What do you like best about Promo?

The amount of videos available and selection is much better than I had expected they have a ton of videos for every field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Promo?

At first, the ability to customize the text or the location of the text or sizes was a bit limited but they have since changed it. The only thing I would like now is perhaps a plan that isn't a monthly plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

if you're looking for a quick and easy way to make a cool promotional video, this is it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
