Creating Quick Social Media Content InShot excels when you need to produce short, visually engaging videos fast. Producing Simple Training or Instructional Clips For short internal training videos, InShot is efficient and easy to use. On‑the‑Go Editing When Time Is Tigh great on mobile devices. Repurposing One Video for Multiple Platforms InShot’s aspect‑ratio presets make it easy to adapt content for different channels. Enhancing Raw Footage with Basic Audio and Text InShot is great for polishing simple footage with voiceovers, subtitles, and music. I used InShot on my mobile phone because it super easy and quick to provide social media images and videos for social media.
As long as money isn't a major issue (this application is pretty expensive!), it's the best solution I've used so far for creating short explainer videos. It's pretty robust/full-featured and relatively easy to learn to use. Vyond is constantly adding assets and features, too. It would not really appropriate for making full-fledged e-learning, as there's no way to add any interactivity to it, and it's not something I'd used to create long, complex presentations.
In the newest version, the timeline allows you to control each asset individually in a way that mimics video auditing software like Adobe Premiere Pro or Camtasia
I love the way you can replace an object and the new object will automatically take on the formatting of the object it is replacing including, location, size, expression, duration on the timeline, etc.
I really enjoy the spotlights on other user's videos. Even when I don't have time to read the full article, watch the full video, or attend the webinars, this is usually enough to give me new ideas to try out when making my own videos
I appreciate the ample notice when things are changing. For example, the platform will be updated at the end of the year, but I have had access to the new format since June(ish) so I've had time to play around with it and get used to it. By the time the legacy format is retired I won't have any problems adjusting to the new format or functionality.
The fact that it's on a cloud server means that sometimes the software can get clunky/slow.
There may be extra work involved if you have multiple characters talking in one audio file and you want them to sync their mouths with their appropriate lines.
Characters having multiple actions/expressions means multiple scenes, which can be very cumbersome to manage.
I was recently at a conference where I learned that many of my peers also use Vyond, solidifying my opinion that it is the right tool for out needs. Further more, one of our content vendors also uses it, ensuring that I will continue to use it as I believe this will facilitate our collaborations in the future
I give InShot a 10 because it excels at what it’s designed for: fast, simple, high‑quality mobile video editing. InShot improves our workflow, reduces costs, and empowers more people across the organization to create effective visual content. InShot is consistently dependable. It rarely crashes, exports quickly, and handles everyday editing tasks smoothly. InShot’s great for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and other platforms save time and ensure our content is formatted correctly the first time. I highly recommend InShot for both personal use and business
This program is great when you have no video experience! There's only a little of a learning curve to the program. In general, the user interface is great and easier than using a program like Adobe premier. It's a great resource to use as a marketer.
Vyond is just an animated video creation tool. You have to use your video content and track its performance through other means. Because it is an online tool it doesn't hog your resources or slow down any other tools that I use. It is a stand-alone product and it doesn't need to integrate with any of our other tools. It does what it does and that is all we need.
I haven’t had any issues that required me to contact their support team. However, I believe support in any product starts before you have to call for help. Vyond provides an option for priority queue when you have their professional option. This is great for folks who need things done faster, especially when businesses can’t afford any downtime. Their Live chat feature is also reassuring, because I don’t always want to spend time on the phone or on hold if their call volume is high and I need to solve an issue.
The ability to add logos, consistent text styles, color palettes, and watermarks helps us maintain brand identity without needing a full design suite. I selected InShot because our organization prioritizes speed, mobility, and hands‑on editing control. We frequently create short‑form videos from live events, field visits, and quick internal updates, and InShot allows us to record, edit, brand, and publish directly from a mobile device.
Vyond is the best tool our company has used for creating animated explainer videos and social content. We have tried many other software solutions but Vyond offers the most options for animating characters, text, and scenes. Despite the lack of options for overall styles, it offers a consistent and professional video every time. Plus, Vyond it's constantly adding new templates to their already expanding library
