It doesn't deserve to be promoted as AI video creation tool
I am sorry to tell you this but the way this tool is promoted is misleading.
This is the first time I ever write a review on Appsumo but I felt compelled to do so, because this is the first time I'm a 100% dissatisfied with a tool I bought on Appsumo
I purchased Tier 2 (for context).
Yes, I know probably if I contacted support and have a 100 emails back and forth some of the issues may be solved but I expected something way better that what I got. That is why it's not worth the trouble of going through support. There are many better alternative AI video generation tools. The free plans of some tools are much better than the Tier 2 I purchased.
Let me list a few of the most important lacking features:
First of all, it is supposed to be an AI video creation tool, but there is a lot of manual work involved that wastes a lot of time. Also, the editing possibilites are rigid and very limited. A simple example: you have to select the voice for each slide seperately! Each slide is reset to the default voice and if you don't pay attention, your video will have different voices for the same Avatar.
There is no AI feature that adds relevant images or video clips according to text or voice. All images and clips have to be searched for or uploaded and added manually.
If you want to create a video from a template you cannot delete the slides in that template. You have to use them all.
The "create video from document" feature did't work for me at all.
AI script creates a max of 10 slides
You cannot change the length of a backgound video clip to match the length of the created voice. So, if the clip is 10 seconds and the voice is 20 seconds, the last 20 seconds will a still background.
You cannot add 2 video fragments and have them play after each other in the same slide.
You cannot easily delete any element on a template slide. You either use it as is or select a completely different backgrount.
Those are some of the shortcomings I faced within the first 30 minutes of using vidBoard.
Yes, I know this might be an MVP but with what is available in the market even an MVP has to match some better standards.
Yes it has Avatars, Yes you can convert text to ai voice for each slide and you can create some basic AI scripts for slides (not a full AI video script), but overall, in my opnion this tool is not a good functioning AI video creation tool.

Edited Nov 20, 2024We regret the inconvenience caused. As you stated, had you emailed us we would have solved all your issues at once. Sometimes users do face issues and we are a small company. We need the support to get better. Thats why we have been in business for the past 4 years. We have been receiving positive and a little negative feedback and we learn from them. But I would like to point out that the issues that you raised, others also raised and we resolved those issues for them within a matter of a few hours. We are AI video creation tool and we strive to provide better features to all our early supporters including you had you been with us.
The document to video is working perfectly fine at our end. You can easily delete the assets on the template by clicking on the right click button and delete the same. This has been explained in the tutorials.
Ai script creating a max of 10 slides is not a problem, earlier we could only do three slides. Now we have increased to 10 and this is surely some progress.
If you go and read the product roadmap you will notice that text to prompt feature is already part of the roadmap.
Automated images appearing on the canvas is going to come in December and this has been conveyed in all our youtube videos and also in our product roadmap.
Purchasing a LTD means you are with us for the long haul and by doing so you are getting complete access to the tool.
We are sorry to see you go! Wish you good luck and love always :)
