Animaker
Animaker is best suited for short projects that are well-defined. We have found it very useful for developing our explainer videos, concept illustrations for pitching new product functions or iterations, and also for creating content quickly and easily. For an illustration of bigger and more complex projects, they might be less adequate and more difficult to execute seamlessly.

  • Uploading video is slow, processing time and rendering video are often jammed.
  • Some templates have more restrictions, such as the number of words in the title, the number of pictures, the size of pictures and so on.
  • Prices for individual users are not very friendly.

It was very easy. They have a nice help video to guide you along the way that you can turn off if you chose. But It was a quick process and everything tied together very well. I am very pleased with the final product. I will definitely use them again.

Renderforest Video has great performance. In all the time I have used it, I haven't ever really had to wait for anything to be done, except for the rendering time. The reason for not giving the product a full 10 out of 10 is that the page load times in the wizard have left me frustrated at times. This, though, is most likely the result of internet service in a 3rd world country, as opposed to a slow server.

Renderforest is far superior. More intuitive and has a bunch of helpful templates. I've found that iMovie lacked in any direction and though there is a lot of freedom, for people who need to make quick and effective media, Renderforest is the better choice. I have really enjoyed my use of it.

Return on Investment
Animaker
  • Ever since we switched from using only actual demo videos to adding animated explainers, our conversion rates have increased significantly.
  • Our productivity when creating presentations and materials for client engagement has more than tripled since we started using Animaker. We can go from storyboard to final output in 3 days or less. Previously, each output took at least 2 weeks to complete.
  • Creating projects in Animaker is just way more fun. Team members no longer dread having to work on a new concept. And our outputs are a lot more engaging.

  • More time can be spent on interviewing clients and researching and development instead of creating quality graphics.
  • The subscription payment option saves money since we know we need them constantly in the future.
  • The quality of the content is superior to the ability of our on-site graphic design team at less than half the cost.
