| Considered Both Products | iMovie  Amanda Khan Client Coordinator / IT Recruiter Chose iMovie Both Pinnacle and iMovie have similar features and capabilities. Most of the pros of iMovie has been posted in my review already but I would say the most positive aspect of iMovie is the fact that it is pre-installed on Apple products so you don't have to buy it, compared to …  François Lavallée president Chose iMovie iMovie produce professional quality video without the advanced but complicated features of professional softwares. OF course it has its limits compare to professional applications but the key here is when to use which application I use Final Cut frequently for larger video …  Tim Corbett General Manager Chose iMovie Not as easy to use as iMovie, and a similar cost structure. iMovie is easier for Apple users / and MS users, to both get proficient at. Movie Maker isn't bad, it just isn't as slick as iMovie. We actually used MovieMaker for a couple of years before migrating most users over to …  Matías Arévalo Larenas Socio y Director Comercial Chose iMovie IMovie is way easier to use and the result regarding social media content is almost the same (obviously depending on what do you want to do or expect).  Jonathan Teixeira Co-Founder Chose iMovie We use Adobe Premiere Pro, ScreenFlow, and iMovie. All for different things. If we're doing heavy editing, some effects, and overlays, we use Premiere. If we're recording a bunch of stuff all at once and doing a screen record, we record with ScreenFlow and edit while we're …  Kelly Reumann Lead Graphic Designer/ Marketing Chose iMovie iMovie has its place in the world of video editing software. It's definitely not the fanciest on the market but it is simple and easy to use and gets the job done and done well! There are times where I'll gravitate toward iMovie because I just don't need the extra features that …  Josh Rizzo Marketing Director Chose iMovie Promo.com and Shutterstock  Rene Agredano Advocacy Journalist and Co-Founder Chose iMovie I have an iPhone and recently bought a Macbook, so it was a natural choice. YouTube's movie creator was basic and not nearly as functional as iMovie (although I just wish the two worked together when creating movies). My Mac-based coworker says he used to use After Effects but … Chose iMovie iMovie is less expensive and a great alternate for the lay user.  Nicole Glover Technology Coordinator, Junior Kindergarten-Grade 12 Chose iMovie I haven't been able to find a comparable solution for what I need for video editing.  Cedric Haynes Videographer Chose iMovie iMovie is just as good and a lot cheaper than the competition. For my simple projects, it works well. For more advanced tasks, I outsource the work to better video editors and they usually work with Final Cut or Adobe Premiere. There’s no need for me to upgrade to anything else …  Ali Rauch Director of Marketing Chose iMovie This can be a bit overly complex to a novice and iMovie tends to be more beginner. We are not classically trained video people so that helps us do a better job with iMovie.  Dan Talvi Audio / Visual Coordinator Chose iMovie While iMovie worked for our organization for a while, we eventually moved to other software to create our video media content. iMovie was a great fit for entering into the realm of video content creation, but lacked the functionality provided by Final Cut Pro X and Adobe …  Jason Stein Wellness Business Coach Chose iMovie ScreenFlow and iMovie serve different purposes; however, I find iMovie easier to use for beginners.  Chris McCarthy Chief Creative Officer Chose iMovie We like Snagit, and still use it too. But IMovie is much more extensive an application and really let us grow our video content market.  Catheline Shin Director of Marketing Communications Chose iMovie Adobe Premier is complicated for the non film student. Can you get it to work well for you? Of course, but not without considerable learning.  Dave Becker Content Manager Chose iMovie iMovie is kind of like Premiere Pro Lite. You can create videos, easily, and export them, but you don't get the fine tuning and control that you get with Premiere Pro. That being said, Premiere Pro is much more expensive, and takes a much longer time to learn. It made more …  Jackie Bassett CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Chose iMovie iMovie has all the capability most video producers need. Great videos are made in the editing because the right content is already there. Adobe has a great product but their editing software doesn't have to be that intense, as when it is, it takes away from the great creative …  Kenneth Hess Senior Systems Analyst Chose iMovie iMovie compares very well with Premiere's and Final Cut's basic video and audio editing and for simple transitions. For the heavier lifting, you'll need a better application. iMovie isn't meant to be a Hollywood-level application but it can hold its own for most things. It's … |  Vimeo  Guto Amorim Post-Prod Manager Chose Vimeo It's more adapted to our main use cases.  David Calvert Pastor for Creative Arts Chose Vimeo Vimeo has a more secure hosting environment than Facebook Live. We can push to Facebook from Vimeo, so that eliminated the need for Facebook alone. YouTube has too many ad interactions, and too many suggested videos on the sidebar, so the Vimeo site has a cleaner and more …  Tara Brueske Booking and Vocal Coaching Chose Vimeo Vimeo is more reasonably priced and a little more user-friendly. Plus, I like the look of it and that I can use it at a price that doesn't break the bank for a small business like mine. It seems to have more features than these other platforms, so you don't have to have so many …  Tom McGuire Senior Director of Strategic Communications Chose Vimeo We have used You Tube, but do not like that an add for ANYTHING may pop up before your video plays. In a setting where there are parents/families or members of our leadership group this can and has led to some very awkward moments that we have had to try and laugh off.  Fred Xorla Adzoyi Programs Director, Agriculture Chose Vimeo The privacy guarantees and assurances provided by Vimeo was the key factor in choosing Vimeo.  Marquita Angelina Digital Project Manager Chose Vimeo We are currently looking at Dacast as an alternative option to Vimeo for many obvious reasons. However, we have not tried Dacast yet, we will be doing a free trial next week. While they offer a lower storage that Vimeo, and cost about 400 more per year than Vimeo, they offer …  Marissa Roth Associate Director of Chapter Services Chose Vimeo Vimeo leaves ClickMeeting in the dust when comparing compatibility on social media and other platforms. Vimeo has also been proven to be much more customizable. In ClickMeeting for example, video formatting may be changed if a certain font is not recognized by ClickMeeting. It …  Jonah Dempcy Web & Mobile Developer Chose Vimeo For our business applications, the primary competitor to Vimeo is YouTube, although Dailymotion is arguably a competitor for some of our business applications, though not others. The most complete full-featured competitor for our business use cases is YouTube, and I think Vimeo …  Julianna Oates Client Success Manager Chose Vimeo We also use YouTube to publish our films, but that is more for SEO sake than for everyday use. Vimeo is the primary way we share films whether via the direct URL or by sharing the video link on our social media.  Matthew Dilworth Demand Generation Marketer Chose Vimeo Similar in nature. Integration with MAP and SFDC were a bit more built out and native with Wistia. Folder management is on par with both.  Hanaa Ibham Manager - Video Team Chose Vimeo YouTube was the platform we primarily used previously, after having restrictions and having locked out of a couple of accounts we needed a better platform. We also lost some of our videos. We also have an internal app to track client videos and Vimeo supported it better. With …  Mark Nowowiejski Sr. Instructional Designer Chose Vimeo In higher ed we have a couple of options that integrate directly with our LMS (Blackboard/Canvas) that are comparable. Kaltura is outstanding but it's very expensive whereas I've found Viddler(and YouTube) to be much more simplistic. I've worked with other tools that want to …  Michael Ball-Marian Intrapreneur, Internal Startup Co-Founder Chose Vimeo I recall that we looked at YouTube and Wistia. We were looking for a solid, no-frills solution to host and embed videos within our application, and Vimeo just seemed to do that the best, and at the best price.  Rajiv Chidambaram, BE, MBA Marketing Manager Chose Vimeo We use Zoom for a lot of recordings (webinars, videos, etc.) but it doesn't stack up to Vimeo Pro in terms of features and functionality. So we just use Zoom for recording purposes now.  Mike Wittenstein Founder + Managing Partner Chose Vimeo In my opinion, Vimeo Pro beats these competing products hands down because it has customizable features and just for video. The other services treat your videos only as files (indistinguishable from other file types except by their extension and preview). The ability to offer … |
