What users say
Pros
- The simple timeline is picked up within minutes on a first project, without any editing training.
- Short social clips cut in a couple of minutes, with a rough edit finished inside half an hour.
- Runs in a browser on the free plan, so work starts on a clip without installing anything.
- Promo voiceovers are generated in the AI voice tool, and a script change is re-recorded in seconds.
Cons
- Projects are stored in OneDrive, and the free 5GB cap blocks longer videos and local-only workflows.
- Trimming a clip lowers the frame rate and can double the exported file size.
- Preview playback stutters on longer timelines, and audio arrives a couple of seconds out of sync.
- Media imports stall at zero percent, and some files never load into a project at all.
- Custom font uploads and 4K exports need a paid plan, even for one short project.
- Editing needs a live internet connection even when cloud saving is switched off.
