Q: Dear Sumo-lings, I am Satej, founder and CEO of Rocketium.
Our entire team is pumped to be on AppSumo. \m/
We launched our easy video creator ~1.5 years ago based on customer feedback. Most of what we have built has been driven by our community. We want to take our product to the next level by being here with you amazing people.
Rocketium helps you create videos like NowThis, AJ+, Insider, ... by combining clips, images, captions, voice-overs, and music. Such videos can be used for news, content, ads, promos, and more. That said, Rocketium is not the right choice if you *only* want animated, whiteboard, or template-based videos.
We worked with the AppSumo team to craft an amped-up version of our $49/mo Professional plan that includes several features from our $149/mo Business plan. We have a lot more features and improvements coming. You can influence our roadmap by sharing your suggestions and feedback.
We will be here most of the day responding to comments and questions. For technical support, please message us on our web chat. Since Sumo-lings are practically in every time-zone while we are in one, please excuse any delays.
We look forward to helping you create amazing videos. <3
-Satej & Team Rocketium

May 15, 2024A: Thanks for the detailed review. These inputs are quite helpful!
1. Automatic transparent logos - neat idea! Something we should do.
2. Better music - totally agree. We will be adding more tracks in the coming days.
3. Slow search + no results for some terms - the AppSumo effect has contributed to some of the slowness. :) We are working on making everything faster over the next few days. We are also working on increasing our stock library.
4. Captions overlapping - could you please message on our web chat so we can see why this happened? Did the video come out OK after you published it?
Hello Satej, are you planning to add Facebook cover videos in the template set, animated logos (logo stings) and explainer videos? Thanks.

Is it whitelabel at exported videos?

Hi Satej,
and thanks for sharing the deal and the great tool!
Looks very promising and useful.
Just one question: why the 120 second limit?
This tool would be perfect for Youtubers like myself, but videos are usually longer than 2 minutes. When you watch the very popular Top 5 or Top 10 videos, they last around 10 minutes (just over 10 minutes to allow for more ads).
Maybe that's something you could reconsider for this deal?
Cheers
Hi Grimaldo this is Somya here , product head at Rocketium we are in process of giving this option just wanted to know the market for the same and will be updating it accordingly
First sorry dint got what you actually want
Emanuele the 120 seconds limit is for ensuring people to make quality videos like Twitter did limit 140 characters initially enabling people to create better content and bite-size information but based on our customers requirement can think of having the limit increased

so video can be max 2 min?

need more than 30 videos per month and more than 40 images or clips per video. Reevio and dropmock give you more than that I'm just saying. and some pre-made templates would be good also.
Video more than 2 mins : yes it is possible the limit is only on a single scene and you can create 40 of those actually so in all it becomes 80 mins . Which won't prefer as so long videos intend to bore customers
More than 30 videos and more than 40 clips : presently not supporting and regarding the templates yes we are coming up with new templates soon and I personally have seen some they look very nice
Hello Somya, are you talking about the Facebook cover videos, the animated logos (logo stings) or the explainer videos? I got confused.
Satej, amazing deal, there are some different things that you brought here, I got the deal back in November/December on Siftery; I got it from there for same price :/ but 20 videos a month, is anything possible to get these benefits?

Purchased this because we do use Lumen5 for daily vids. So my comparison is based on both UXs.
Pros: Pricing & Social Share (not tested yet).
Needs improvement - mostly minor things:
1. When I add a logo icon, it does show the white corners...which requires making it transparent. With Lumen5, it automatically fixes it and the logo looks good even if it doesn't have a transparent background. Not having a capability to resize the logo within the platform is also a big pain for me.
2. Music selection was also ok. For example, we use "dramatic" quite a lot, and it didn't address our needs since most of the options sounded more like "sad" :)
3. Loading images/vids also much slower. Image selection (keyword search) was also limited - couldn't find a simple "black background" image for example.
4. There also seems to be a bug that affected one of the slides (not sure why). We added a video and teo captions. When reviewing and when the slide is on pause, the text shows correctly. But when you press play, both captions/text go over each other.
I wish I can grab the deal. Sorry that I miss it. Thanks!
