It does'nt have some great tools for video editing although this is not the focus of ActivePresenter, I usually edit videos in other specialized tools and use ActivePresenter to add texts, annotations, zoom and panning and essentialy creates the story.

It's incredibly scalable - from microlearning content to extremely flexible storyline design; Articulate can do everything you need. The resources, templates & community info is also world-class.

I'm not sure that the change in business model will work for all the long standing Storyline 2 users as you cannot convert 360 to 2. I think Storyline 360 will have glitches for still a few months yet.
