Magesto has a great library of templates and music to chose from. It is very simple to use but that then becomes its shortcoming

What do you like best about Magisto?

It's very simple to learn and use. It's also web-based so there is nothing to install and you can be up and running very quickly. The uploading of content was quite fast and it kept everything very organized. I think it's geared to kids or inexperienced video editors Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magisto?

I don't love the limitations on the amount of content and there are times that I would like to make slightly longer videos for other purposes. It's a very expensive service to customize basic things like adding your logo, more text or changing the order of the content (19.99/month!). Not a powerful or professional editing tool at all but you can make fun videos if you don't care much about customization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Magisto:

If you're looking for something fun and easy for kids to use it's a great choice. I do not recommend you use this for anything professional, as it is quite limited. I'd also pay attention to your subscription. At nearly twenty dollars per month I'd personally set a calendar reminder to discontinue after a few months unless you were using it often. However, if you are using video editing at such a rate that you would need it for more than a few months I'd check out other software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I've yet to find a use for it in business. Even with the paid tools I need more options to customize video content for clients. I gave it a try but ultimately used something else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Magisto?

Beautiful videos in a flash! I this app is Wonderful! I don't even have to add pictures sometimes; it will grab the last set of pictures captured and create the most beautiful video picture collage! It's wonderful for showcasing pics on social media and even on your website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magisto?

Nothing that I can think of. It works great! It's a great tool for creating videos and the free version is great as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Magisto:

You can't go wrong with it Magisto. It's free to use so you aren't losing anything trying it out. It creates great videos in minutes and you will be suprised how awesome they are and professional quality. Do yourself and your business a favor and get this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We can create attractive, eye catching videos for our social media and clients resulting in more views and essentially more business. People love videos with music and this is a great tool for creating with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Magisto?

I love how straightforward and simple the video editing process is! I appreciate that the app does all of the work of choosing filters, transitions and photo order for me. I also like that it will give me music selections based on the editing style so I don’t have to sift through a bunch of unfamiliar song titles to find one that fits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magisto?

Many of the features are behind a monthly paywall ($9.99, so not super expensive), and if you’re only an occasional user like me, you have to deal with watermarks on videos. Not a huge deal breaker, just a nuisance. I wish I could make longer videos on the free version, but there’s a 30-second cap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Magisto:

Great for cute, short videos to encourage engagement! Easy for anyone to use, and if you’re not super tech savvy or you don’t want to spend a lot of time making videos/social media slideshows for your business, it’s definitely worth downloading and may even be worth paying for the premium membership. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Being able to easily upload social media videos straight from my phone allows me to connect with readers in the moment, which I love. I’m rarely near my laptop, so I appreciate having the ability to make such great-looking videos on iOS. Being able to connect with other accounts through Magisto is a great feature as well.

What do you like best about Magisto?

I created video projects quickly and I love the results. The site is intuitive to use and the automatic theme and soundtrack features are perfect. Magisto is great for business and personal use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magisto?

I had issues signing up for a free trial and paying with paypal. So I used the standard free version and although I was able to create great projects I love, I wanted to use a few of the features that are only available on the paid versions. I hope to get my free trial to work so I can test out the additional features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Magisto:

Try Magisto today and you will have fun creating projects for your business! The videos will attract attention from your prospective buyers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am using the videos I created on Magisto to promote my business and services. I also used it for a fun video project to for a friend's 50th birthday and love the results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Magisto?

The transitions and themes that are available during your trial are amazing. You can create interesting content with those alone. Also, it is very intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magisto?

This solution does not take into consideration that more professional people would use specialized software (FinalCut, AfterEffects), and the ones who will be using this type of software will need to download their videos, which is restricted after you pay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Magisto:

If you enjoy video production and you intend to make better quality videos (and investing more time doing them) you should consider bigger software solutions like iMovie (Mac). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

For single marketers and freelancers, without any video production background and little budget, it can be a powerful tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
