The Website is great and the Videos are fairly easy to generate and create. I used to use Renderforest but have since moved onto other competitors. The BIGGEST problem i have is the MASSIVE, MASSIVE difference between Yearly and Monthly subscriptions, Yearly its 7.99 USD a month, if you switch to monthly the same package is 24.99 a month, that is more than triple in price...The yearly package is great for people that will use the service constantly, but for guys that just need the odd video here and there its just not viable in my opinion. I wish them luck, but they lost me as a client when they got greedy.
  • Easy to use
  • nice variety
  • HUGE difference between Yearly and Monthly Subscriptions
  • Alternatives out there FAR cheaper
At the price point it is only viable for people who will generate videos on a weekly / monthly basis.

Renderforest Video is used across our organisation in different functional departments. The public relations and marketing departments use it to create great, awe inspiring presentations and explainer videos for clients, as well as our own employees. The research and development department uses it to showcase progress on projects across our domain to the rest of the company. Renderforest Video takes the effort out of creating amazing, engaging video content and puts it in the hands of normal people like myself. We are able to put together emergency presentations and content heavy videos within half the time that was previously needed.
  • Very easy and self-explanatory GUI
  • Massive variety of templates and toolkits
  • Competitive pricing and storage options
  • Availability of commercial music to use
  • "Pay per Product" pricing is extremely high for a single video, effectively encouraging subscription only, which isn't a great way to promote growth.
  • A better way to visualise the final product on different devices and sizes could be devised
  • Well Suited
    • Conveying company growth and progress to employees
    • Explaining how products work
    • Explaining how to use products (as a users manual)
    • Introducing employees to new workflows and IT systems
    • Pitching ideas to investors
    • Creating visual portfolio maps and growth paths for departments
  • Less Appropriate
    • Presenting financial figures to shareholders
    • For content that requires a lot of focus on specific details for extended periods of time

  • Customer service was fast.
  • Very helpful to fix my request.
  • Cutting edge intro videos.
  • Allow font editing for 1-time purchasers (Currently unavailable without monthly subscription as far as I could see).

We used Renderforest to create an intro for our new YouTube show.
  • Communication.
  • Customer Service.
  • Accessibility.
  • I have not experienced any downsides, yet. However, I've only used the product once.
I used Renderforest to create an intro for my new YouTube show. I had made an error while cropping a logo. Customer service answered me immediately and was tremendously understanding and proactive. They fixed the error I had made and sent me back my finished product within minutes. I will definitely be using them again.

We recently developed an awesome software solution for surveying and monitoring services and had to create a short intro video of our software solution during the GA launch. This was the first time we needed such service and so had contacted several vendors. Unsatisfied, I Googled, used many other online tools and finally found Renderforest. It was just great and solved my problem in a couple of hours! I sent the draft video to my management and team..... they loved it!
  • Easy and simple interface
  • Compliments your creativity to get more out of it
  • Flexible and affordable pricing
  • Provides many themes/templates and music to work with
  • Allow more customization in available templates like resizing aligning text boxes and image placeholders and max character count.
  • Allow music timing to be adjusted as per slides
  • Allow instant single slide play and review instead of the whole video, especially when small localized changes are made.
Best for intro videos, explaner videos, and infographics videos.

I was looking for an online promotion video maker when I found Renderforest through Google. I am the owner and the only employee of my company, so I am the only one using it. It is a great tool for video-making. Fun and easy to use, I have been enjoying the time I have spent on the website, working on my very first promotional video. I had read a few good reviews online about the service, and the experience I have reflects all the reviews I came across. Because of a minor technical issue, I contacted the customer service of Renderforest, and they replied to me very promptly.
  • User-friendly
  • Good pricing
  • Great customer service
  • I would like to be able to see the preview of my videos directly from my profile without having to "Download" it every time.
  • It would be good to be able to watch a high quality preview of the videos.
  • The screenshots/images that are uploaded appear in bad quality, so it is hard to make sure they will look good in the final video.
Renderforest is great for promotional videos of small businesses that are just starting. It is easy to use, and they offer good pricing. I also appreciate that they don't offer only monthly subscriptions like most online video-making softwares, but also single video export, which suits my case perfectly. I hope they will soon offer more scene templates.

I have used Renderforest for myself as I am a full-time YouTube content creator and was looking to jazz up my channel. They have everything I was looking for in making a perfect Intro for my videos.
  • A broad range of tools
  • Fantastic quality at affordable prices
  • Customer support has a very quick response time
  • Could add more music options
  • Be able to see a money conversion added instead of prices in dollars
  • Discount for returning customers
Renderforest has a design for everyone, sole use or large companies, there is definitely something for everyone. The quality is crystal clear, good fair prices for the products being offered.

Amazing. It helped me to show my services and product without using external consultancy and without wasting my money. I used it to promote a new service and helps people to book anytime and everywhere. I like it so much and I think I am going to use it in future.
  • Efficiency
  • Visual
  • Easy to use
  • Maybe more features
  • No word customize
  • Few images
Renderforest is an efficient and easy-to-use presentation platform to create video, slideshow or any visual presentation. For me, it saves time and resources yet creating a dynamic and high caliber presentation for your creative needs. User-friendly and easy to navigate even for first-time users. I suggest any manager use it, especially for presentations.

I used Renderforest to promote the work that I do, and a new business idea that I had that could help other businesses improve their profitability - "The Golf Swing Method." Renderforest’s interactive video means I am able to get the concept across more succinctly and in a more appealing fashion.
  • Easy to use templates
  • Variety of template options to suit most businesses
  • Affordable pricing plan
  • Even more template options would be good!
Whiteboard selling is very effective in today’s marketplace and Renderforest gives business owners the opportunity to promote their products and services in an ready to use, affordable way.

We are using Renderforest to make all of our videos for our customers or partners.
For a small company like us, Renderforest provides a good and easy to use tool for editing and posting videos on our screens, in our agencies and on YouTube.
It's perfect for a team which doesn't have a marketing member.
  • Many templates are available for all types of users
  • Easy to use every day
  • Qualities of renders
  • One of the cheapest online software for video editing
  • It's not very easy and clear to find a good definition for the video.
  • When you aren't an English speaking person, contacting support is not the easiest task. A multilingual support will be a good bonus.
One of the perfect examples for us is doing a video to present a new product or a new service, like a mobile application for our clients. We show with this tool in what situation this app could be useful and its goals. We could upload this video on our YouTube channel and communicate via email.

I really enjoy using Renderforest. It helps me make beautiful videos quickly and easily. It has a wide range of video options from app promos to animation (educational) videos.

  • Makes beautiful app promo videos
  • Has a great stock photo/video gallery
  • It's easy to use.
  • I have no negative complaints.
  • I haven't come across an issue so far.
Marketing professionals and video editing beginners can benefit from their services.

Renderforest is an efficient and easy-to-use presentation platform to create video, slideshow or any visual presentation. For me, it saves time and resources yet creating a dynamic and high caliber presentation for your creative needs. User-friendly and easy to navigate even for first-time users. Any department or task can use it. For me, it is for personal use so it is very helpful.
  • User-Friendly and easy to use even for first-time users.
  • Variation and a lot of choices. It offers a variety of selections and it is professionally made for users.
  • Various options for subscription and for 1-time users. It doesn't force you to sign up for the subscription but it allows you to use what service you only need.
  • Swift response and very helpful customer services team.
  • I hope there is an affordable price for first-time users or for special cases like students, trial users (who wants full access), etc. An example A price, for like $15, for 7 days full trial or something.
Well-suited for easy to use, ready-made presentation but can be customized to your creative needs.
Suited for students, artists and non-technical individuals who need professional quality presentation.
Perfect for personal or non-formal presentations (But formal presentation can be done too).
Suited for individuals who can't afford to hire a professional designer or artist.

Less appropriate for more specific or distinct animation or presentation. Limited in terms of the available options.
Less appropriate for high ender users (who needs 4K or higher).

We used Renderforest to easily create product videos for our customers, YouTube channel, and website. By using them we were able to easily create and release videos at a reasonable price.
  • Video creation flow - slides, video, pictures, and music.
  • Able to download as you add or edit content.
  • Library to choose the right video for your business.
  • Color changes for devices. White devices can grey out content.
  • Some video layout allow you to move the slides around vs. others where you can only add in a sequence.
It's perfect for app and product videos that you can easily create, edit and deploy at a fraction of the cost.

I used Renderforest as a go-to for quick and easy marketing videos and logo animations.
  • Allows you to pay per project
  • Offers subscription services for ongoing work
  • Shows renders before paying
  • Speed of renders.
  • Improvements on viewing stock footage before signing up
  • Offering 4k files rather than just HD
For inexperienced video creators to make professional quality rendered video.

I own a small digital marketing business and Renderforest has helped us gain clients by using their videos to create presentations and pitches. Our clients are also happy with the videos we created through Renderforest. The user-friendly system allows us to create HD videos that fit our clients and their customer's needs. I can put together a cohesive video in hours, not days. I’m saving time AND money.
  • User-friendly templates helps you create a clear and concise video
  • Audio is crisp and the music selection is great
  • Rendering in 720HD makes the videos look professional
  • Rendering lag time could be quicker
  • More ways to make it user-friendly is to be able to move some objects and delete some of the slides in templates
  • More ways to be able to have control of audio levels
If you are creating a social media campaign Renderforest is great to use. Video marketing is on the rise and viewers like to watch a video rather than read. If you are looking to stay in 1999 and market that way don't use Renderforest.

Renderforest is being used to help with promotion of our history-making Extreme Challenge Walk. We use it for single posts and to edit within larger videos as intros. The media available is the most professional on the market and helps us stand out from the rest.
  • Covers many categories that people may search for
  • Price is very good for its high quality and standards
  • Fantastic customer service
  • Fast downloads
  • No improvement needed
Ideal for promotion and marketing of events and occasions. Looks great on business/Facebook pages. Has helped us with over 300,000 views on our charity Facebook page. Ideal if you are looking for short intros.

I'm using RenderForest to create video introductions to my Twitch and YouTube channels. The Idea is to improve the visual of my streams. It's very easy to use and will make my stream better and start and finish like a TV show. I will do intermissions transitions too and this will look more professional.
  • Very fast support
  • Beautiful themes
  • Don't need any knowledge of video producing
  • Anyone can use it and make beautiful work
  • There are no cons, everything works nicely as of now.
It's very nice for those that do not understand video producing and need nice visuals to improve work or do it from zero. There are themes for several kinds of use. You can use it for work or personal use and can export in hi-res for web work or physical work.

Currently, I am involved in producing a YouTube channel targeted at reviewing and interviewing upcoming cryptocurrency startups. Our goal is to professionally and creatively filter through all the vast amounts of information and companies out there and concentrating on the prevalent information that pertains to the interest of the masses. We intend to pick winners and coherently explain why we think these companies will succeed. We were seeking a creative and professional intro for our channel and RenderForest stood out among the rest. The quality of their content is far superior to equivalent "free" sites that we reviewed. Their paid-for content is and will continue to be a vital part of our success and will save us so many hours of graphic design and video editing work for not only our intro, but also for product promotions, PowerPoint style informational advertisements, and many more applications that we have not even thought of yet. This site is HIGHLY recommended and I expect to see/hear a lot more from them in the future as they seem to already be a roaring success in their target demographic.
  • Single Use AND Subscription style payment options. Obviously a channel like ours will use them frequently but most probably only need to use their services once in a while. It's nice to be able to get a bulk discount on digital services.
  • They have EXTREMELY high quality content available on their site with a very wide variety of styles and options to suit ANY style of advertisement or video template needs.
  • Their support staff is highly responsive and does not give up until your issue is resolved. I had a payment issue with my card at around 3am CST and their staff responded within ten minutes and got my issue resolved in less than one hour.
  • I would like to see them exploring the option to accept cryptocurrencies, this would broadly expand their customer base and increase their revenue dramatically.
RenderForest is extremely useful in advertising, video editing, YouTube channels, Vimeo accounts, home videos, the options are endless. Wherever there is video, Renderforest can make it better. It saves so much time and effort as opposed to compiling the graphics together yourself. The money saved in man hours that we have calculated is staggering. Time is a vital resource when you are releasing videos as often as we do.
