Animoto vs. Lumen5

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.

It's a perfect product when it comes to converting the existing artifacts and return materials into interesting videos for a marketing campaign where a budget-friendly approach can be taken instead of creating everything from scratch it is less effective if I expectation video is expected where graphics and all are of top-level and custom requirement in terms of editing is very high full stop it is good for purpose where time is less and video content is needed from marketing and sale purpose or any other engagement.

• 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.

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.

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.
