Overall Satisfaction with Animoto

We use Animoto to create short, interesting videos for social media. We also use this software in our training courses, to demo it as an example of an easy to use solution for creating interesting video.
  • Online editor, no download required.
  • Music library to add sound to your video.
  • User friendly tools in the interface.
  • Templates are somewhat limited.
  • Editing features have limits.
  • Watermark appears on free version.
  • It's had a positive impact in that it saves a ton of time in creating nice video that looks professional.
Camtasia is much more complex, requires some knowledge and understanding of the platform. Animoto is user friendly and you can jump in and start editing right away. Animoto also has a ton of stock images and sound, to enhance video, which Camtasia does not. Animoto makes it easy so you have everything you need in one place and you don't have to go out and search for or purchase stock for your videos.
We haven't actually needed much support so that in itself says a lot about the software. It was easy to use and had great tool tips that guide you through the tool so you don't even need to reach out to support. There are help files that are there when needed, and some of these are helpful to us as well because again, we didn't have to reach out and wait for support.

Animoto is great for small businesses or businesses, organizations or people with limited budgets. It allows you to create a professional looking video without having to invest in a lot of software or time learning advanced tools. The templates make it easy to start from a framework that someone else designed, and it helps set a foundation for a professional looking video.
