Great, easy little video editing software I've been using WeVideo for over a year and it is the easiest and quickest way to produce high-quality videos for social, web, youtube, etc. Not sure why everyone over the last few weeks is slagging it off, I thought I'd write this to reflect a real user and not someone who has a problem with the company name. If you are not happy with the demo don't upgrade.

Homophobic The actual video editing service is decent enough, however I have recently noticed that they have NO photos in the stock photo library that relate to LGBTQ+ individuals and issues. I searched "pride flag" and got the Irish flag, American flag, and others, but NOT the pride flag. I searched "gay", "lesbian", "trans", and "LGBTQ+" and got no results. This is demeaning as well as inconvenient (I needed the footage for a video I was making, ironically about homophobia). I hope that those at WeVideo realize that queer erasure is not ok and does effect people, even when it's as simple as not having any queer-related imagery in the stock selection.

Easy To Use WeVideo was much easier to use than other slideshow/video creator programs (like iMovie or Adobe). The learning curve was small and I was able to quickly navigate the program. My only complaint was that it was really hard to add an element in to an earlier part of the slideshow without having to majorly fix everything else. Because each of my clips had multiple components, they all had to be moved forward to accommodate adding anything earlier in the slideshow. The finished product was lovely and professional looking. It was also easy to upload to various sites (YouTube, Google drive, etc). I will definitely use it again when I need to create slideshows in the future!

Good for Beginners I definitely recommend WeVideo for beginners as it has a very straightforward display. However, there are some features that I wish were included and/or worked better for the price you're paying. For starters, I wish we were able to freeze-frame and have more options for fonts we can use. Also, I often have issues with creating my preview when editing. It sometimes takes it a while to load, and I find myself reloading the page often. (Keep in mind, I have a pretty new laptop and fine wifi)

One of the best editing / exporting apps One of the best editing / exporting apps! i used to use animaker, but this is much better! In animaker, exporting videos even at 2 seconds long take 15 hours! but this website... a REALLY long video doesn't actually take that long to convert! I really suggest this to anybody that wants to edit!
