I'm just mad

So far, I've been quite taken with the platform. But more and more mistakes creep in.

From December 25th (well, it was Christmas time) until December 31st, nothing works on this platform anymore.
Unfortunately, I need videos for my business.

-No support anymore
-no finished videos are available anymore
-You can no longer create a video in general

I'm pretty pissed off now and would give the deal back if I could.

I Want to Give it 5 Tacos, But I Can't

I like this system. I can see its potential. I suspect the problems are related to too many new users. Anyway, the system is super glitchy. It's not storing settings, it's freezing constantly and not allowing me to save files, and the final renderings are consistently different than the previews (not minor things either — major things like entirely dropping the logo in the final credit screen).

I think this has a lot of potential, and like I said, I suspect the problem was lack of preparedness. That might suggest management deficiencies, which could influence your decision to purchase related to future expectations of company or software performance. But for many companies, it's a lesson that, once learned, never needs to be repeated. So if you're considering purchasing codes right now, be prepared for spottiness in the performance of the software. I'm not going to ask for a refund. I'll hang in and see how things develop, because the potential is definitely there. But it's a frustrating system to use at the moment.

Cool Concept, Ton of Potential

Reading some of the reviews of this made me nervous to purchase it.

I did a quick search of reviews elsewhere, and tried-out the free version on their website before I bought the deal.

I think more than a few of these reviews have unrealistic expectations for this software.

It's perfect for someone like me who has no idea what they're doing when editing and creating a video. I just needed software to create short videos for social media to promote my content, and this did the trick.

After I created a quick video, I bought the deal so I could add the finishing touches not possible in the freeware version: adding a logo, not having to add their logo to my finished video, relatively minor stuff like that but worth it.

Am I going to win awards for the video I created? Absolutely not, but it took me 30 minutes, all told. And I really like their library of content to use, I found some really good video to use in the background of each slide that I didn't have to go shoot and upload myself.

Added benefit is I make all my money back on buying one of these in the savings of not having to give this project to someone else to do for me.

The software is a little glitchy, and the AI didn't make perfect decisions regarding content and context. But neither would I have when approaching this project.

This isn't related to the deal, but I looked over your website when I was doing a little research. If you're targeting journalists, content creators, and other storyteller-type people with no video editing experience, I highly recommend proofreading the text on your website. I'm pretty sure I found a typo in every section on your homepage. Writers are sticklers for grammar and spelling errors, and I can almost guarantee that would be a turn-off to keep them from even trying out your product.

It is unique. I like it.

At first, I didn't like it. I think there are some bugs to be worked out. Yet, it is intriguing, unique, and useful. I like the way it analyzes my blog post and presents the text in a way that I can decide what content will go on the slides. Also, I like the formatting of the text on each slide. I didn't agree with the photos the AI chose for me. I changed all of them in my first video. Still, It helped me to make a better short promotional video than I could probably make on my own or with other tools. I would not say that it is better than other similar short-video creation tools, just different, and different in a good way.

Disappointing... but has some promise

The application has some promise, but the 'AI' is not that great and highlights words in text (sometimes only parts of words!) that have no bearing on the actual theme. Add to this a slew of small and niggling bugs and text formatting errors, and I cannot rate this solution more than 3 tacos at this time.
However, I do like how easy it is to use. If the devs can tidy it up, it would be a great little app.
