    Chose Animoto
    The software is only compatible with Apple desktops. The cost of Apple desktops is too high for small companies. The user interface of Animoto is better than that of iMovie which is quicker to learn than iMovie, besides the fact that it has more features than iMovie. For …

    Chose Animoto
    iMovie comes standard on most Macs, though it is not nearly as intuitive/user-friendly for the first-time video editor as Animoto is. Also, iMovie doesn't have a library of usable stock images and music clips like Animoto, which is worth the price of subscription alone.

    Chose Animoto
    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 …

    Chose Animoto
    Camtasia is what we used before, and we still use it for longer videos. But for training we found we needed something powerful yet much simpler to use. Animoto also is great for still shots, images, snippets of content that can be created very quickly without any heavy …

    Chose Animoto
    We had invested in making our own videos using YouTube, and even Camtasia. But they were still us interpreting on behalf of our audience which took forever. Once we found Animoto, it was so much easier to upload the pics our audience would send us. From there we had a 100% …

    Animoto is great for small to mid-sized business looking for control over their own video marketing. Allows someone with initiative and "scrapbooking mentality" to create professional-looking videos with ease. If you have even the smallest of marketing budgets, Animoto is perhaps the most worthwhile investment--that is, if you're able to get decent photographs or video clips to build from.

    Cons
    Animoto
    • Great visual tool that lets you intelligently communicate what you are seeking to explain to your audience. More features I might suggest would be anything that makes it more interactive with the viewer in real-time.
    • For the price , it is a great deal as is.

    Support Rating
    Animoto
    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.

Once we found Animoto, it was so much easier to upload the pics our audience would send us. From there we had a 100% positive response, that we had indeed captured what they were trying to say.
