Summary
Wave.video is a nifty online tool that makes the process of creating videos and animations easy and fun. With a wide variety of features and easy to use interface, it is the go to tool to making all those marketing and promotion videos for your company.
User Review – We recently used it
We run a design company and quite often we get requests from clients asking “do you guys make explainer videos, whiteboard videos, logo animations, logo effects etc.”. We always use to take up the work and then pass it on to our partners who make the videos. This process went on for a while but later it became an expensive affair for the client. Even a small screen animation video also has to go to a professional company who charge a bomb.
This is when we realized why not help the clients in making small videos which do not cost much to their pockets. Our googling for the video makers online has started and we landed in Animatron. We were impressed by the way the features are shown, samples are showcased. We really wanted a software just like this.
This is it, we have taken the Annual Agency plan of $79 and started exploring. After you log in, you will see a very simple and straight UI which is very intuitive. You will see a timeline in the bottom and rest all is very easy to figure out. The UI will handhold you properly to explore and make the video.
