Likelihood to Recommend

Generally, if you are comfortable with Adobe products, the interface is generally easy to navigate. IF you are also coming from a Canva background. However, some of the options are not as intuitive as wanted. I usually have some issues with video animation and adjusting layered elements. There also seems to be less templates to choose from vs Canva
