WeVideo Reviews & Product Details

Video is a key tool for content delivery in online courses, but educators face the dilemma presented by the tendency of videos to be an essentially isolated and passive experience. We want and need students to engage actively and meaningfully with content. To that end, I have tested many interactivity tools in my years as an educator. I consider Playposit to be one of the best tools I have used. I tested this tool in an online 400-level engineering course. The data we collected demonstrated outstanding levels of participation and mastery. Students gave very positive feedback. While the price tag may be intimidating, the affordances of this tool are well worth it. Stable platform, well-designed and easy to learn, intuitive user interface, many options for interactivities at all levels of Bloom's taxonomy, very granular controls allowing for many, many creative combinations of setups, and seamless integration with Canvas and Blackboard, as well as outstanding support availability, make this tool a great investment.

Due to the investment required, this tool is meant to be a keystone tool, and is best leveraged by an admin team committed to backing this investment with a well-thought through long-term plan to train and support instructors/designers in widespread adoption over time.

Easy to use and allows you to work with the audio and video well! It gets better each time you use it! It is also easy to download your finished product into a video or audio form. You can even add your YouTube or Google Drive accounts for easy uploads! I've used it for 6 years now, and I love it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use the free version, and there's a lot that they throw in your face that you can't have, such as their expansive archive of videos and pictures. Besides that, WeVideo is great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the ability to take a pre-existing video or one that I've made (on pow-toons for example) and splice it with a question - either multiple choice or open-ended - or a poll, or even a thought I want to interject. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a feature that the teacher can enable or disable which would allow the student (or not allow) the student to be able to rewind the video if needed. I have not been able to get this feature to work and my IEP kids need this! I don't know if it's my error or somehow an error of the program, but I haven't had the time to explore it more.

The built in assets for video, audio and pictures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tiered system for output. The level we have at our school board only allows 720p output. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like its easy of use and stock picture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes I can't move a transition and don't know why. I don't think it's user error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

WeVideo's interface is intuitive and user-friendly, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced video editors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

pricing structure that continues to climb without new features being added Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All in all, I love using WeVideo. It is easy, and I've used it for multiple school projects since middle school. It has a lot of features I like and I know how to use it after using it for so long. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing is horrible and ridiculous. Over the past few years, the prices have only gone up, and after finally finishing a school project, it would not let me export it. I had already made only two exports but had to make the improvements for a better score on my final presentation, and to buy the plan for only a month is ten dollars, which is stupidly expensive to export one video for a required school project I put so much time and effort into. I am not made of money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to learn using Wevideo. I started with Zero video editing skills. That is a plus with WeVideo!

The stock videos are nice. Except for worst , slow performance, WeVideo is ok. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Performance - worst! Very, very slow to process videos. You have to wait for ages to complete editing for a simple 2 minute video.

No matter how great your laptop configuration is, or how fast your internet speed is, the performance of WeVideo is pathetic! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use and teach to others. The platform does just about everything we need and is exremely user friendly when it comes to editing. Can be used on a computer or phone with the wevideo app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything is great about it. The only downside would be the lack of .png graphics to spice up a video. That would be really nice! Also, it'd be nice to have a few more text box formats to choose from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best aspects of WeVideo are first that it is cloud based. Students can log in to their accounts on any device and all of their work is there and ready to go. Secondly, there is a huge library of sounds, music, images, and video clips. Videos can be created without ever filming a clip! Finally, students can not only create videos but also podcasts, screencasts, and animated GIFs as well all from WeVideo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is almost nothing that I don't like about WeVideo but if I had to pick one thing it would be that sometimes it can be a bit slow with uploading content. However, this must be expected with a cloud-based program and would NEVER stop me from using WeVideo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
