I've used Renderforest to create digital media videos for music that our team creates. We had a few audio tracks that we wanted to post on YouTube and Renderforest made it easy to immediately get started with a cool and fun video for the song without knowing any video editing skills.
  • Ease of creation of videos with music or other audio
  • Syncs music videos to audio
  • Provides a nice and easy wizard to get started
  • Have additional video concepts that can be chosen
  • Can't think of anything else, the product is amazing
If you want a turnkey video solution that syncs to your audio files and looks cool, Renderforest is a great solution. Depending on the length of the video it may cost a bit more, but it's worth the cost. I have not tried logo and website functionality but will look at it if I need it in the future. If you want something completely custom and tailored to your exact needs it may not be best suited.

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).

It is very simple, convenient, fast, and has many styles to choose from.
It is suitable for various needs, whether for commercial or academic purposes.
However, some templates have more restrictions on their use, such as the number of words in the title, the number of pictures, the size restrictions, and the cost of rendering. But generally speaking, Renderforest is very suitable for the majority of users, especially for small businesses that need high efficiency and low cost, which is a good choice.
  • Clean interface, easy to understand, easy to operate, simple options.
  • Beautiful template, suitable for all kinds of users.
  • The animation effect is smooth and the rendering is fast.
  • 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.
Some specific scenarios where Renderforest is well suited: Business speeches, promotional meetings, product presentations, academic exchanges, classroom presentations, personal presentations, exhibitions of works.

Less appropriate: Serious meetings, memorials, political meetings, seminars

Instant and simple logo maker. For animation work that requires very tight deadlines, I suggest using Renderforest.
  • A lot of template choices will greatly help build and adjust the theme you want.
  • The user interface is very easy, with simple steps. You don't even need an expert to solve your video animation problem.
  • For the logo animation section, maybe a very detailed version could be made, for example changing the direction of the animation, its movements, or even the position of the logo or writing.
Good for some light animation video or logos, and can be learned quickly. Many campuses or even companies could use software like this. Without experts, even colleagues will be amazed to see how good and quick the process and results are. I would recommend this for colleagues who need a glimpse of video animations for personal or perhaps business purposes, which they want all to be fast.

I used it for personal use.

Creating a simple, yet aesthetically pleasing slideshow using Renderforest was easy and fun! The result was fun, beautiful and even if I wasn't a design professional, I think I could have figured it out rather quickly. I would definitely use it again to make more slideshows in the future.
  • User Interface simplicity
  • Seamless uploading of images
  • Great templates
  • More options in the image editing space (cropping)
It is great for both business and personal projects - where you want to make a presentation of some sort.

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.

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.

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.

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).

I used Renderforest to produce an intro video for a YouTube Channel. It is being used by me and my partner. Renderforest is great at making high-quality videos using templates that are easily modifiable although not very customizable. Overall, their materials serve to improve the marketing capabilities of the YouTube Channel.
  • High-Quality Content
  • Easily Modifiable Content
  • Variety of Content to Choose From
  • There should be more customization of the content, you cannot modify the length of videos with their program or modify the fonts used for the videos
Renderforest is great for anyone wanting to make a high impact video for an online media platform. It is great for "novice" users so it can be used to create high-quality videos quickly. It would not be suitable for someone who wants to make a custom video that showcases the creator's skills.

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.

We here at Eric Tavares I Web Design Architecture have utilized Renderforest in a marketing/promotional capacity through their 1080 HD video for our company. We have found their software very easy to navigate through to produce the kind of commercials we need to attract future clientele.
  • First and foremost, their program is definitely user friendly and can have the desired result up and out to the masses in no time at all. Also, their prices are affordable and in-line with our company budget.
  • As in producing a commercial promo, they deliver the highest level with 1080 HD resolution.
  • Also, your creative window never closes because of all the options they present to you as a consumer.
  • Renderforest could tweak their check-out systems, I did have a few problems with it during a purchase.
  • Also, they could expand their promotional computer templates to give the consumer more of a variety.
Renderforest is definitely suited for the young start-up company as well as the corporate arena, and all businesses in between. I think they're awesome!
