WeVideo Review

PROS: For the advantage, well, it is cloud-based. Meaning to say, you can access this tool anywhere and anytime you need as long as you have an internet connection.

CONS: The speed of downloading and/or uploading videos in the cloud varies from one user to another. Probably, the internet connection has something to do with it.

PROS: I am able to create a short, informative type of videos with ease. Adding captions is simple and easy.

CONS: I cannot use the camera as well as a screen option at the same time when filming.

PROS: I already have used several video editing tools and so far nothing beats WeVideo in terms of intuitiveness. Uploading photos or any other media, creating transitions, writing captions, etc. is very easy.

CONS: I have a minor problem adjusting the size of the captions. Sometimes, the changes made do not reflect on all the letters or characters. But it's easily solved by keeping a close eye on the letters.

PROS: I love its interface. It's pretty simple. There's a wide selection of audio assets and effects, which is great. It lets you get creative. Lastly, you can export your work without any hassle.

CONS: You need to pay for the service to be able to export your work.

PROS: It's pretty helpful in educating young minds. I usually give activities to my students that require the use of video editing tools twice a year. In the first activity, I let them create a music video about a book they have read or about a character in the story that they love. In the second activity, I ask them to create a movie trailer about the books they have read. WeVideo got everything the students need for their activities.

CONS: We are using the free version of the program. So far, it's good enough for us. But it would be nice if we can access the amazing features it offers. Unfortunately, our district cannot afford to purchase a plan that can be used by everyone because the premium plans are pretty expensive.

PROS: Editing videos is pretty easy and fast, somehow thanks to the straightforward layout of the tool, its simple to use features, and its exclusive and powerful technology (WeVideo JumpStart technology). The latter lets you start editing in the cloud instantly. No need to wait for your locally stored data or media to load. It's also good for collaboration. I am able to invite friends to edit the same video. It also offers the flexibility to mix the media you've uploaded in the app with the locally stored ones. And the best thing, I can edit videos from anywhere and anytime. Compatibility is also not a problem because this tool supports almost all devices.

CONS: None. I never had a huge problem with the tool.

PROS: To start with, it does not consume any PC space because it's online. Which also means there is no need to download or install anything. Second, it is very simple to use. You just have to drag and drop media and stuff to create an awesome video. Uploading media is also pretty easy and fast. Or if you don't have your own image, there is a wide array of templates and copyright free photos available for you to choose from.

CONS: You can download only 5-minute long video if you are using the free version. Pretty good for making short videos. If you want to create and download longer videos, you'll need to pay for the service.

PROS: It's very easy to use and has many incredible features! I am able to do chroma-key for the green screen kind of editing, upload media to the software quickly with ease, produce videos either in 1080p, 720p, or 480p quality to mention some. I also love that this software is cloud-based because I am able to edit videos from anywhere and anytime. Lastly, it provides a project link, making it easier to share your work.

CONS: The plan I purchased only includes 20GB of storage and has 5 hours time limit. To get more, I have to pay more. But it's not really a big deal.

PROS: I have already used this tool before and when I installed and signed up for the second time, I was able to edit my audios and videos instantly. It's great. Also, it still got a simple interface and those amazing features and unique editing tools. In addition, there are flexible pricing plans you can choose from. The pricing starts from $4.99 and if you aren't sure about whether to pay for the tool or not, there's a free trial.

CONS: The mobile version isn't very user friendly. It would be nice if they improve it. Also, the app crashes whenever I use it for too long.

PROS: First, the software is cloud-based which means it can be accessed from anywhere anytime provided there's an internet connection. Second, it got good security. I have so many sensitive data that I cannot afford to lose so I saved them in my WeVideo account. I believe they are safe there. Lastly, this tool is user-friendly and has great user interface.

CONS: Poor service from the quality support team. Responses are usually delayed and sometimes, the replies do not help at all. They absolutely need to improve it. Aside from this, I find the product a bit pricey. Most of the amazing features can only be accessed if you purchase their most expensive plans. The cheaper one got fewer options.

PROS: The ability to cut out particular clips in the video has been a time-saving tool. I don't have to retake videos every time something goes wrong. Also, I like the ability to edit on the pane located underneath the media screen.

CONS: Sometimes, minors and other students who aren't allowed to be filmed are included in my videos. I wish I could blur their faces. Also, the blurring option would have been helpful when there are inappropriate words used. Unfortunately, this tool does not offer that feature. It would be nice if they consider adding it.

PROS: It's relatively easy to use and have some nice templates.

CONS: The pricing is deceptive and when on a free trial, you are not being told how much the features you get to use in the free plan would cost on paid plans. When you thus upgrade, what happened to me was that I spent hours working on a video and then when I upgraded to get rid of their logo, I discovered that half of the video was gone! The whole vide was useless! I was told by their customer service that I'd have to upgrade to the most expensive Business plan to keep those features. There, however, was no warning and no way I could have predict something like this! It's really, really unacceptable how this is done. I was also unhappy with how the customer support dealt with this issue and how they refused to issue a refund simply because I asked for a refund through PayPal. They claimed they cannot issue it because of that, which is ridiculous to say the very least. The matter is now still open but my decision on whether to ever use this service again let alone recommend it to anyone is a short and final - NO.

PROS: It is easy to use and provides many options even in the free version.

CONS: The billing method could use some work, I though I was Paying $4.99 but ended up being charged $59.88.
