    For any company that wants to use more video in their content and marketing overall, PlayPlay is your best bet. Anyone can make a video--no expertise required. Honestly, it's really fun to do, and you feel like a creative genius afterward! If you are making long-form videos or need something for a TV commercial, PlayPlay doesn't make sense. But you can absolutely take snippets from other video projects and break them into smaller videos. That's what we love to do. Also, they just launched a podcast tool to help podcasters use video to promote their episodes.

    Cons
    PlayPlay
    • Product is very easy to use; I got a little stuck on changing font colors with text
    • Automatic subtitling is amazing, but you do need to adjust the words per screen

    • 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.

    • 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.
