Renderforest

Pros

It's easy to use, easily accessible through the software and the website.

Cons

Nothing, sometimes I hate to wait for the video to be rendered but it's bearable however

Pros

Simple, easy and straightforward website. The product offers great value for money and time An extensive media library of commercially licensed music, audios, pictures and footage User friendly, with a smooth interface for both mobile and desktop. Literally anyone can use it No need to install it, it's cloud based and secure. Saves storage space. It has the same functionality for different operating systems, which means I can do the same things and have access to same same tools on both my IOS and Android devices. The free account doesn't force you to get a premium account. You can basically tryout all the templates without having to pay first. Though the free account can only export up to 3 minutes, it doesn't restrict on the number of projects you can work on.

Cons

There are limited customization options for the premade templates. There is no API integration It doesn't have an offline version

Reasons for Switching to Renderforest

Pros

Easy for newbie and it is easy to use.Provide an advantage in their template kit.Variability in time length, including animations for text and scenes

Cons

free plan with watermarkThe subscription price for individuals is quite expensiveless options for Cinemagraph Animator Live

Pros

Renderforest is a platform that assembles a number of mind blowing integrations to make videos, presentations, logs and many types of visualizations. Its flamboyant colours, varied scenes and characters will make it easy to turn any text to a video.

Cons

I don't recommend it for free trial users since your will miss a lot. Actually, it is somehow expensive compared to "Movio" when it comes to text to videos option.

Pros

The product is easy and quick to use. It has high quality and fast editing

Cons

The 2D feature must be worked on and made more professional

Pros

This is a “must” for creating fast and beautiful videos thanks to thousand of templates

Cons

There should be more customizable features in the editor

Pros

renderforest have a huge collection of animation

Cons

renderforest pricing is a concern as it too high

Pros

Renderforest is beginner-friendly, so even if you have no design expertise, you can rapidly learn the basics and create stunning designs.

Cons

While Renderforest does provide a large selection of templates, it may not be the greatest solution for designers that need more freedom of expression.

Pros

The first thing I love about this software is the animation video creation tool, I love how easy it is to create an animation video irrespective of what you do or what your business is about.Secondly, I really love the interface and general UI design of this software, it is very easy to use and understand, no complications whatsoever and it is self explanatory.Thirdly, Despite the fact that this software offers a lot of services in-terms of video editing/creation and design, it's a free software to use and that's really great.Lastly I really like how there is a video tutorial showing exactly what to do or expect before starting to edit or design a video or animation.

Cons

There really is nothing I dislike about this software, the features are really nice, the UI is great and it's very easy to use and understand.I don't think there's anything I don't like about this software for now.

Pros

I love the templates for logo animation and intro, it is very easy to use and create simple intro for YouTube and logo branding. Then you can export it and use it on other editing app.

Cons

You need data connection to run it smoothly and most the good templates are accessible on the Paid plan, So you might want to consider the paid plan.

Pros

The video animation templates are very good and more than enough for you to choose from which also includes the whiteboard animations. The ability to use stock images or import your own image or video makes it more appealing. Aside that, there's much more you can do with the software which includes building a website and designing graphics. Then also, you can change the video aspect ratio to suit your need and the newly introduced feature makes it stand out from the rest which is the ability to download videos in 4K format

Cons

You can't change the video aspect ratio for all templates. No video mockups yet

Pros

Imagine if you will a website that for let's say $120 a year can provide you with: a video editor that already has pre-made videos ready for you to just get in there and type what you want to make the videos you want. I'll website editor which is extremely easy to use. As well as a logo creator which is completely free. If you're getting into YouTube or streaming this is one of the best assets you can probably use to create great intros outros.

It doesn't even stop there you could create marketing material for Facebook Instagram and Snapchat which I personally use a lot and other formats will let you download the pictures to whatever the format of the platform you're uploading it too so if you need a picture that is going to fit your Snapchat story it's going to be made in that size.

I can't imagine living without this product. It literally takes all the work out of being a business owner and creator at least in the marketing section you don't need to spend a lot of money on marketing or videos just have to put in the hours.

Cons

The only con I can think about this product is that there isn't much spacing in small texts for you to write overall amazing product.

Pros

Hands down its the "ease of use" that makes this a pleasure to use. Over the past few years they keep adding more features and services that just enhances the quality of the service. The amount of templates you have to pick from is endless. Everything is simply just point and click to get your videos to look how you want them to. I've used Adobe After Effects to create videos which does take time depending on the computer you are using, but having everything in the cloud and the time it takes to render things is way way faster. When ever I need to create a video such as a slide show, animated logo, a music visual video or anything else Renderforest saves me so much time. As a bonus whatever credits you dont get to use at the end of the month they simply roll over to the next month.

Cons

No dedicated iOS or Android app (however the website is very mobile friendly). Sometimes depending on the time of day the render time of a video can take longer.

Pros

Renderforest makes it easy to create and publish brand specific content like intro videos, explainer videos, and more! We use Renderforest for our brand specific intro videos on all our online courses. We also have used it to create several brand explainer videos for our site and clients. The templates provided are great and make it easy to find an appropriate, brand related video. There are templates from more professional to the more artsy, fun, so plenty to chose from no matter what field you may be in. They are high quality videos and the costs are minimal to other options in the market. This is a great tool for small business who do not have the budget to ask professional to design and edit all videos.

Cons

Sometimes it is not the most appropriate for some type of videos as it lacks some more editing features. Wish there was more editing options available for longer videos or that you could take and combine a few different templates into one. Basically there are some features that just aren't available to make Renderforest my 100% go to for video needs.

Pros

Renderforest super easy user interface provides tons of services in one place.
If you are looking to promote your brand just go for it. It's just INCREDIBLE.
Top class explainer videos,2D or 3D animation,animated logos for businesses, website hosting plans and much much more.
If you still need support, their customer care support is truly world class especially Lusi.
Just forget about the huge digital marketing costs, Renderforest is the best way to promote your brand without any kind of knowledge about animation.

Cons

There are no cons in Renderforest.
I create awesome animation videos without any kind of knowledge as well as their world class customer care support are always there for me.

Pros

I have never made a video before. On Renderforest website I was so excited to explore high quality and creative templates and tailor them to form my own unique project. I have the greatest experience not only with the website or products, but also with the customer service they provide. The support team is prompt in reply, effective and patient in communication and a positive attitude ready to help. Thank you for your support of my first video project. I have enjoyed the experience so much that making video with Renderforest is my new hobby now.

Cons

Maybe more ability to edit text, including language display other than English, font size and line spacing adjustments. More scenes reflecting people from other cultural background.

Pros

It is easy to use so anyone can easily edit a video. It has a variety of templates that makes work easier and helps us save time. It has high quality filters as well as effects, dissolvences and transitions to create the best videos. It has an acceptable audio quality.

Cons

The price is somewhat high to be able to create videos in quality higher than 1080. However, I think it is worth making the investment.

Pros

I love the premade templates and I also love the phone app! I can make a video on my phone and then go and download it on my computer. The phone app is awesome! I use Renderforest all the time and I highly recommend it for videos.

Cons

I have had no issues yet! Great product!

Pros

RenderForest is a video template platform that lets users make flashy animations and graphics for video content and presentations, and honestly, it does a pretty great job. It focuses on drag and drop customization, and offers thousands of templates to chose from. No matter the style or tone you need, there is something for you.

The platform is also enhanced by a pretty good selection of music to put under and synchronize animation. This aspect of the templates is really quite nice, and saves a lot of time to focus on the other creative steps.

Perhaps the best part of RenderForest is the blog and support. For novice users, video and animation is daunting, but the site has tons of information to get up and running. Tutorials and project ideas are put out on a regular basis, so there is always something new to learn.

Overall, RenderForest is a good first step for users who want to make creative video, or add some pizazz to content they are already making.

Cons

Renderforest seems expensive given the use case and template selection. the cost for a short intro or outro animation is a bit much, especially considering how many other users are likely using the same template. For infrequent content creators, the subscription is certainly expensive, but if you need frequent, flexible animations, the price is probably fine.

Pros

For a very low price, this program is comprised of high quality animation and templates. We can use this video to upload on YouTube and broadcast on our social media venues. I like the fact that it also offers a 3D feature. You don’t have to be a techie to create a powerful video because Renderforest is the way to go.

Cons

I can’t complain because haven’t encountered any concerns with this program, plus it’s a one-time price and offers so many templates and graphics to choose from.

Pros

There were good templates earlier. But now they have stopped releasing new good ones.

Cons

Recently they have started this monthly subscription plan which will auto renew. I tried to unsubscribe from the plan but the don’t have a button to unsubscribe!! So I removed the credit card details. But somehow these looters charged my card through a third party!! When asked, they were unapologetic about not having an option to unsubscribe. They have started looting customers exactly like Shutterstock. I DO NOT recommend this site after these new changes were made.

Pros

I find this website a great go-to place when you are just starting to build your branding and can’t afford a dedicated designer, or when you need visuals for non-profit projects, like presentations, etc. It is very easy to use and has a wide selection of styles and visuals among which every user will surely find something fit for their taste. I have extensively used the logo-maker as well as have given the video function a try, and I must say it is a great tool that allows you to make intros and logo reveals without any knowledge in video editing or motion graphics. I’ve only used free version so I have dealt with watermarks and small logo sizes but if you’re looking for a great tool to get started with your ideas, you can definitely upgrade and get clean and larger files.

Cons

I’d like to be able to have a free trial option where I’d be able to create and download full-size files (with a limitation of, say, 3 downloads), but the current options are also fair enough.

Pros

I liked the majority of templates and the ease of use, also the UI and UX are just terrific and gives you an enjoyable experience, it's like you're playing with it rather than doing a tedious job.

And the most important thing is the customer support, they are really supportive and.
I accidentally made a mistype in the video I made, and once I discovered it I contacted them and they were kind enough to help with it and re-render it again after I edited it with no additional charges, and I'm very grateful for that.

Cons

I think it would be great to have a little more tools to be able to do adjust the text and the illustrations separately, that can be done in the future versions of the service, However it still the best service of it's kind in my opinion.

Pros

I just LOVE using this service. It helps bring my designs to life! I am so grateful to have found this gold nugget!!! Not to mention, their customer service is absolutely wonderful - the friendliest folks on the planet = ) <3 Love you guys! Thank you for creating this handy tool = )

Cons

Nothing. I love everything about them. Excellent tool available at your fingertips.

Pros

I like the numerous templates as well as how they are categorized. This makes it easier to find the perfect item. I like how I can edit and customize scenes to suite my own situation.

Cons

Despite working flawlessly, there were two instances where it froze during the rendering process. This wasted time and I had to go back and render again. It often works perfectly though
