**What do you like best about SolidWorks Composer?**

This software is very easy to use, and there are tons of tutorials online on how to do create nice camera paths, but it is very limited as far as effects. It is really only good for creating camera paths around your models.

**What do you dislike about SolidWorks Composer?**

This is really only for creating cameras and your camera paths/ flybys and very limited in what you can do with your models and lacking any visual effects. We are currently using adobe premier after to add in our effects which is somewhat time consuming and only ads another step.

**Recommendations to others considering SolidWorks Composer:**

If you are looking to making very basic animations and flybys this may be a great solution, but if you need more advanced effects and more rendering options check out Cinema 4d. It will allow you to import your models as an STL or similar and create outstanding effects with your products.

**What problems is SolidWorks Composer solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Creating product demo videos, and able to shoot models and rended them to look realistic for pre product releases.
