"Great tool to create professional looking animations"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Wideo?

I am not an artist or animator, but I often need video animations as part of the video content I produce. Wideo has a lot of animated templates that I can use to make my videos more professional. And it's pretty easy to edit them with our company colors, logo, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wideo?

If you need to do any kind of editing to their templates, it's not very easy to build a whole video in Wideo - it doesn't stack the tracks of content like other video editors do, so it's hard to easily adjust timing. I'm also concerned that I've reached the limit of their library and I'll have to start reusing animations - I hope they start expanding their template library more.

Response from Fernando Sabre of Wideo

Hi Ginny, thanks for your awesome feedback.

We`ll check that "timing adjustment" trouble you said.

Regarding new templates, we are adding 2 new templates per month. It`s true that during 2017 we haven't added so many new templates but now we are making some improvements and we are committed to adding 2 new templates per month.

Did you see the last one we added? Here you can check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc16LiJy-5c

Also if you have any suggestions about a new template please write directly to cacho@wideo.co.

Thanks!

"Wideo video is simple and good-eo"
4/5
What do you like best about Wideo?

Great looking templates that are easy to edit and manipulate. Create professional looking videos in minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wideo?

Sometimes editing the template objects is a bit of a challenge. Only in that you have to unlock the objects or investigate how they were originally setup in order to manipulate them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Terrible experience, all around. "
0/5
What do you like best about Wideo?

The video software itself is okay. Everything is horrible. Terrible experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wideo?

They don't tell you upfront that the CTA won't be functional across all channels. So you put in all this work and time and then you can't even use it across all the channels. Then uploading was a headache so I reached out to "customer service" where they told me it was my fault. My computer. Told me to try a million things (which I did try every last one) and none of them worked. And they basically said, I don't know what to tell you. Oh...and the emails I got started coming in Spanish, which I don't speak...and they wouldn't respond to me in English. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good looking platform but falls short"
3/5
What do you like best about Wideo?

The look and feel of the platform. It was easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wideo?

Many features were very tedious and overly sensitive to use. I had to redo several animations because the saved files would not download directly to include the latest changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not what it's cracked up to be."

What do you like best about Wideo?

I like the ease of use. It's very easy to create animated videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wideo?

The clickable buttons on the videos never worked. So, basically a lot of money for templates that don't work. I pre-paid fro a year, never used it, then it automatically renewed and they wont do refund my money if I cancel! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing tool for creating animated explainer videos"
5/5
What do you like best about Wideo?

I used wideo for making an explainer video for our startup. It is very easy to learn and start-with. Lot of objects, shapes, icons, templates are available for use which makes it even easier to build one. It takes very less time to build a basic animation video using this tool once you have the content and idea finalized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wideo?

There are few things that still need some polishing in the tool. Keyboard short-cuts are a must for a tool like this. For example being able to select multiple objects using CTRL+ Click, keyboard short-cuts for "Send to back", "Send backward", "Bring to front" and "Bring forward". Apart from that, there should be an option to set the values for key frames manually (used in animating objects) through a field as well. Sometimes trying to place the key frame at the precise location using mouse becomes very tough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
