The direct link from Lightroom is a game changer\! > > **Cons**: While there are a lot of design/template options, I would like more. I make about 50 videos a year and haven’t seen many new designs over the past 2 years. > > Overall, good software. I’m able to quickly produce good videos/slideshows. ----- ### "Branding Made Easy\!" — 4.0/5 > **Fahim Shahriar** | *15 July 2022* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is very user friendly. Almost anyone can create amazing video content with it. The large template library makes it even easier for users. Creating videos takes a very little time and adding effects, transitions and text overlay is relatively very simple. > > **Cons**: The templates can sometimes be very restrictive. If a user has a proper idea about how the video should be then it is not for him. > > It enables users to upgrade their branding with ease. Almost anyone can create contents with it. I loved the user friendly interface. Ideal for small businesses. One of the best options available. A powerful tool but it certainly needs to add more features. ----- ### "Deceptive double payment subscription renewal practice" — 1.0/5 > **Jim** | *13 March 2025* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was OK. But considering the head aches experienced with their deceptive subscription renewal practice, there are better alternatives > > **Cons**: Deceptive double payment subscription renewal practice of auto-renewing and charging your credit card again. > > Ended very badly. Once they auto-renew, it's a nightmare to get it reversed. ----- ### "Animoto for Education" — 5.0/5 > **Michelle** | *22 July 2021* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love Animoto’s ease of use, along with the amazing quality final product. It looks professionally made, even when they’re created by 4th graders. > > **Cons**: I love that there are templates to use, but I find them sometimes restricting. I also wish we could control the amount of time in each slide. > > Animoto has allowed me to present material/lessons in a more engaging way, that is also fun for students (\& myself) to create. ----- ### "Image Slideshow to Music Creation App" — 4.0/5 > **Nick** | *31 October 2018* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I remember when Animoto first came out. I was using it in the classroom with students to curate their images for various assignments (book trailers, public service projects, social media campaigns) etc. This was something they enjoyed. There are workarounds to do similar things, like using Google Slides or PowerPoint, or iMovie, but this takes the guesswork out of it. A simple tool to be able to merge images and video into a slide presentations/slideshow and overlay music to it. Comes out very professional looking. Students enjoy sharing these as it requires minimal movie editing experience and is a lot easier than iMovie. If you are using a LMS, I love how you can embed this inside it\! Another way for teachers to be creative in how they deliver the content to their students. > > **Cons**: There aren't a lot of features or customization, but it is pretty straightforward in that you add images, add video, and ick a song. The rest is done by Animoto. There are templates to choose from as well, but would be nice to have a few more features/animations to make it more personal. > > Overall, adds another element to the classroom. I have also used Animoto to put together slideshows of my daughters that come out really well. Love the ability to share easily through a multitude of options including social media such as Twitter and Facebook. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/420891/animoto?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/420891/animoto) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
