The Livestream Studio app runs on Macs and PCs with almost any hardware configuration. It allows you to have unlimited hardware HD and 4k inputs. 3 GFX channels and 3 media playback channels along with configurable outputs while streaming. The most unique tool is the remote guest feature which has a type of zoom function built in so you can have remote speakers join a livestream and easily hear, see, and interact with the program. This software can transform an iMac into a video production truck run by one person.
Read full review Pros It's a great place for anyone who wants to improve their business by appearing very professional. Easy to use and to create astonishing vibes with your clients. Communication is very professional and really, really short response period. For those who are more professional but have no time or ideas about what to make for their own business, inspiration is a place called Renderforest Read full review Quality streaming of video - few if any hiccups. Embed options that allow for customization of video. Option to limit viewing to just one domain, so users can't share the video link with others who have not paid for the content. Easy upload process. Read full review Cons 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. Read full review The editing features are very basic for an archived event, work for us most of the time but can be clunky. Read full review Usability 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.
Read full review The layout is inconsistent for different parts of the platform, it takes a very long time to find specific settings. Labels aren't clear sometimes - not to the first-time/average user. They actually just changed the interface with zero warning or tooltips and had to contact support to get it back to the version our teachers are familiar with.
Read full review Performance 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.
Read full review Support Rating Generally Vimeo is fast to respond to support tickets with more or less the answer to the question/problem with documentation and clarity in the answer. Usually only takes on message to solve the issue.
Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.
Read full review Vimeo is awesome because it is a seamless experience that blends software and a cloud platform and end user experience. No other competitor offers a holistic solution the way Vimeo does. With other platforms you have to piece together multiple pieces of hardware and software and even with those pieces you don't get the same ease of use and performance that Vimeo gives you with their software and cloud solution
Read full review Return on Investment 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. Read full review Positive ROI - the pricing is better than other comparable services with a better end result. So, the return on investment is significant since it is an inexpensive way to deliver what I need to my program users. Positive - their 30 day trial period is so helpful to be able to determine if this is truly a good investment for you/your business. I was able to do all that I needed to within the first 30 days for live video, then continue with keeping the embed links with the continuing monthly subscription. Positive - good analytics within the account (not Google Analytics with my level of subscription) so I can see how many users are viewing my videos, what devices they're on, and where they are in the world. This is all important for my business. Read full review ScreenShots Renderforest Video Screenshots
