What do you like best about Freemake?

Freemake is an excellent tool for video conversion and processing, it helps me a lot in my work organization because I have to prepare video tutorials and Freemake performs the conversion between formats in an impeccable way, for example, if I need to convert an hour of video in Windows Media Video format to MP4 format, it does it satisfactorily well and without losing any quality, it allows working with a multitude of formats like AVI, WMV, Apple, DVD, Mpeg, Mp4, and many more, it also allows working with MP3 format by converting the sound if desired, the interface is very simple and easy, anyone with little knowledge in this type of software can perform their production work easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freemake?

There are some things that need improvement in Freemake, such as the conversion time when the files are very large and contain many minutes of duration, the conversion can be slow if working with low-resource equipment, sometimes some very little-known video formats are not compatible and not supported by Freemake, an improvement in the sound aspect would also be important to avoid losing quality, if configuration is required to significantly reduce the file size, the final result may have a noticeable loss of quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Freemake:

A useful tool that does its job perfectly helps a lot in the conversion of video and audio, producing very good and quality projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freemake solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has solved all the problems I had with video formats that were not supported by some servers, which is why for tutorials and technology teaching videos, this software helps me daily to work by performing conversions between video formats and also extracting the audio.

What do you like best about Freemake?

Freemake is a free tool having many things to like. It supports multiple formats like MP4, MKV, AVI etc., allowing seamless conversions between them. It has support for basic video editing options like cropping, trimming, adding subtitles etc. It also has the option to download videos from popular platforms like youtube facebook etc. It is a good package for someone who has to do light video editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freemake?

Some things that I dont like about freemake: it's revenue is generated through ads, which can be irritating at times. Also, advance features are lacking, with occassional crasher and performance issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freemake solving and how is that benefiting you?

I usually need to casually edit videos, and using a full fledged video editor for this purpose was an overkill and with more features, editors becomes complicated to use and handle. So, it has been very beneficial for me. It has user friendly UI and less features, making it perfect for my use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Anything beyond the basic editing tools is not in Freemake's repertoire. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freemake?

It's easy to use. It also offers a wide range of file formats to convert. It also is flexible enough to handle video and audio files with many different output codecs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freemake?

It offers some editing capabilities but it would be great if those were expanded. That would help in instances where I don't need to edit a full, new video but rather just need an extended clip. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freemake solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sometimes I'm given video files that don't work natively with our editing software. Freemake makes it very easy to convert the original source into a video file that works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freemake?

It comes with easy to use software and its user friendly.

The multipurpose usability of this product is great.

It can be used for Doawloading/Converting/Editing, which is great. As other apps/software does not provide all these in one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freemake?

The need to install/use different versions of the apps for different usage such as downloading, editing, converting is not very convenient. If we can use as all in one app, that would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freemake solving and how is that benefiting you?

The basic need for editing and downloading videos. If you are just looking for basic needs, than this app is more than enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freemake?

Relatively easy to use, very buggy. Keeps crashing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not enough features, thumbnails for slide show tiny, only one track per slideshow available, keeps crashing. The rendering resolution is really crappy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Freemake:

Make sure you understand that there is nothing free about freemake. After purchasing 1 week license I was charged for full license, plus they were going to charge my PayPal account every 3 years. I had to post a complaint with PayPal ti stop them from charging me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freemake solving and how is that benefiting you?

Tried to make a slideshow but couldn't since it only allowed to use one music track. Resolution is crappy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freemake?

The customization of your video clip duration and even the codec settings is covered totally under this product. The best part is the file size compression or file size control functionality which was really unique and comes really handy for fast renders and quick previews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freemake?

In the previous version, there were some issues regarding the audio video sync if we would change the audio settings or the codec maybe. However, surprisingly this problem hasn't occured since the last update I guess. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Freemake:

It is inexpensive, that is the biggest deal maker. I personally have consistently used it and can definitely say it is quite compatible to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freemake solving and how is that benefiting you?

All kinds of preview conversions for client approval before final render are being converted using freemake's product by me. The consistency in the performance since last 5+ years is something I loved to stick to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
