If you have
a Mac an IPhone or an Ipad you will love this application, is almost as easy to
use from the rest but before deciding right away for this one lets check the
pros and cons
Why YES
¬ Easy and simple to use
¬ Creates amazing 1080p HD
¬ You can add effects and background
music
¬ Combine several photos at once
¬ A lot of flexibility to decide your
own transitions and time of an image or video
¬ You can share or publish your videos
in YouTube, Facebook and Vimeo
¬ If you don’t have it you can buy it
for very cheap price
Why NO
¬ Can’t import videos to MP4 which is
a big issue as now a days is the most used video format
¬ Not to many different features
Which one is better?
This will
depend on your needs, and how you want your movie to look like,
personally I prefer Magisto over Animoto, their programs were easier to use,
and had smoother results. I like Magisto's results the best. But, even though I gave a lot of
pictures it still only gave me 58 seconds of end result and the program chooses
whatever wants it to choose, so if you got an Apple product I suggest the IMovie,
easy to use as well, no limit of time and simple but different features to
apply to your movie.
The three
of them give great satisfaction and are great to share with family friends, or
even if your budget is low to do a short video about your business, I can
assure everyone will be impressed.
