Considered Both Products	Animoto Rekha Singh Social Media Marketing Manager 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Mitchell Terpstra Copywriter + Marketing Strategist 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. Incentivized Helpful? Allison Chaney Chief Digital Training Officer 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Chris McCarthy Chief Creative Officer 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Jackie Bassett CEO 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% … Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Animoto
Likelihood to Recommend	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.

Pros	Helps any audience Tell Their Story: A handful of still pics can be uploaded, then in just a few clicks you can add music, choose a theme, tweak as needed: done! Visually augments the creative process of defining exactly the message marketing is looking to capture. While words can mean different things to different people, visuals are a very effective communication tool. Animoto lets you test, change, test again and learn so much more about your audience in the process. Our "Who I Am" use of Animoto that drove a higher rate of engagement with our millennial audience that we're challenged with defining the answer to that question. Endless applications in every division: Product Engineering, who want to design their GoToMarket strategy, HR who would use it in a Promotion/Employee Awards program or Training Departments.

Cons	As it is online so sometimes it lags but I think in future updates this problem will be solved limited editing features that sets boundary for us. Its premium version has more features but it is quite expensive Incentivized Rekha Singh Social Media Marketing Manager Read full review
Support Rating	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.

Return on Investment	Positive as it is so simple to use, and even helps discover where a creative student would benefit far more with a more focused visual. Positive as it is - seriously easy to drop in content and create a video short on any topic, in literally minutes! Incentivized Chris McCarthy Chief Creative Officer Read full review
