A Teaching Life Saver
October 23, 2020

WeVideo has save my life. Teaching virtually is tough enough but having to teach editing that way, oh my gosh! WeVideo is easy to use and provides a viable solution to Premiere at least during virtual learning. I think the students are getting the information they need and having fun doing it.

WeVideo Rocks!
October 22, 2020

WeVideo is an easy-to-use cloud-based app that can be used on most devices. Digital workflow for WeVideo projects is simple and easy to understand.

Our school district is testing out WeVideo as a potential replacement for Adobe CC Premiere (and their $19.99/month subscription fee), and we are very pleased!

There are a variety of video tutorials that you can use to learn how to use the software. WeVideo is pretty much "plug and edit" and it's very easy to use with a short learning curve.

Definitely a great value for the money! WeVideo has been a pandemic program-saver for our high school basic video editing class.

We struggled with video production for years. Video editing software seemed overly complex and expensive, and then the cost of video shooting itself was cost prohibitive. With wevideo we have been able to produce great videos, using a combination of our own footage and their stock footage. We started with a company called Promo, which I found to be not worth it at all, but wevideo has been fantastic. Because it's over the internet, the editing can a little wonky at times, but we haven't found it to be a significant problem.

I got WeVideo to develop some videos for work (internal & external). I was pressed for time so I was looking for something that intuitive to use, but also had the capability for more advanced editing -- they definitely delivered! I went with the paid plan so I could have full access to everything I might need.

I never used a video editing program before but once I got comfortable with the basics it was really easy to pull in my content and make customer-ready videos. For the newbies out there like me, their tips and tricks youtube page has really cool ideas with step by step instructions. I stumbled on it while I was starting out and thought it was a super helpful resource to amp up my videos.

THIS IS TERRIBLE
September 18, 2020

It used to be completely free, but now they have a "Premium version" which costs from $5 a month to $30 a month. Without premium, you have LIMITED EDITING TIME. I mean, who does that? Now I have to rush to get the video done, and I'm like, "Please don't say I'm out of publish time please don't say that." I highly recommend using something else that is completely free, such as iMovie.

SCAM DONT GET
July 28, 2020

Yo, I got the flex plan only to realize I only have 20 minutes of publish time and 2 gb of vid storage. You would think you could delete a vid to free up space BUT NOPE. Stays the EXACT same. They say it's valid for a year but that just throws you off cause you can only post 20 vids IF THEY ARE ALL 1 MINUTE LONG. DONT PAY FOR THIS WEVIDEO SCAM BS. HELL U CANT EVEN DELETE YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO. DONT GET BEWAREEEE!

Scamming
April 30, 2020

From the get go I was skeptical. Started editing and everything looked fine but after wanting to export the video I needed to pay just to get one video I was editing for hours! Yeah, really upsetting and annoying...

I will sent proof of payment if they will assist but to make things worse it's also non-refundable!

Stay away! Also user experience isn't good at all! I just thought it was a glitch like PhotoPea which is free to use and awesome even tho it has it's up's and downs but WeVideo is definitely the opposite!

Very disappointed

Lacking in many ways
December 23, 2019

Ok so I bought the software on a monthly rolling plan as I wanted to be able to get things in the cloud and upload from mobile and other devices easy.

One problem is that if you have a video with audio you can't easily split the audio from the video. Most other software I've used makes that easy.

The main problem is that if you try to upload a video that is large (for me using my twitch.tv/pjenx1986 vods) you have to upload and process and wait for them to process the video.
It took over 24 hours for one 4 hour vod to get processed and due to the time I think a connection dropped somewhere, I then had to return and re do the editing and upload the video again. So a total waste of time.
The quicker way is to edit your video first which is stupid. You should be able to just select 20 mins from a 4 hour video and only use that surely?!
Anyway it seems stupid and you then can't access it from your mobile app if you used your pc. So all in all a waste of money. I could have just uploaded a bunch of the videos to fiverr and waited for some professional to edit and clip my videos in the time I waited! Probably similar price too.

Awesome Program
November 11, 2019

Super easy to use and crazy fast to purchase and set up. I'm so tired of hearing everyone complain about price gimmicks and inability to cancel. Their pricing is very direct and straight forward and you have several options. Anyone who is confused clearly downloaded the program for the "free" version and didn't bother to read. They very clearly spell out what the cost is for each available platform and exactly what the benefits are and are not with each version. Also, if you are complaining that you can't cancel your account, again, you didn't read what the company directly told you when you clicked that you wanted to download. They make it perfectly clear you cancel your own account anytime by simply going to your account settings and cancelling your account. This is a great product and the terms and costs are painfully clear if you simply take the time to read the!

The pricing is deceptive and when on a free trial, you are not being told how much the features you get to use in the free plan would cost in paid plans. When you thus upgrade, you can end up spending hours working on a video and then when you want to upgrade to get rid of their logo discover that half of the video is gone, because you'd have to upgrade to the most expensive Business plan to keep those features.

There is no warning that this might happen, no nothing that could help you avoid this and maybe decide to just keep the logo instead. It's really, really unacceptable how this is done.

I was also unhappy with how the customer support dealt with this issue and how they refused to issue a refund because I asked for a refund through PayPal. They claim they cannot issue it because of PayPal, which is ridiculous to say the very least. The matter is now still open, but my decision on whether to ever use this service again let alone recommend them is short and final - NO.

DO NOT USE THIS EDITING SYSTEM! It is way too complicated to use and it will corrupt all of your videos. The worst part is there is no way to get your money back once you've subscribed to it

Payment scheme
April 29, 2019

It tells you that you will pay a certain amount monthly, and then actually charges you for the full year. They do not have a phone to call, so I emailed them numerous times, asking for a refund, and they refuse to respond. Do. Not. Use. This. Program.

The night before a project was due, this company decided to inform me I had used some of their "Elite Elements" and that I owed an additional 15 dollars in order to publish my video. They provided no indication of which elements I had used to make my video, so I had to pay or end up submitting my assignment late. Then, a month after I cancelled on wevideo, paypal tells me I just made an automatic payment to wevideo. This company is a scam.

Cheap Bastards
April 1, 2019

You go to the site and then you realize you have to pay to get anything good and to remove an annoying watermark. This site is basically iMovie except 1,000 times worse and you have to pay money in order to get more than 5 minutes record time. I would not recommend this site to anyone, use iMovie instead.

I subscribed to this service a year ago for my daughter's school-related work. They sent me an e-mail stating that they were going to renew my subscription automatically on April. I immediately tried to cancel the subscription but the button didn't work. I tried to contact them by phone, they don't have personnel to answer the phone. You have to use the answering machine and state why you want to contact them. Or you have to use the e-mail, of course for delaying the answer and charge the price of the subscription of another year. Now that I could cancel it, they say that I have to pay for the year anyway. Don't buy it or they are going to play with you like they are doing with everybody else. Not only review this enterprise, fill up a complaint so they are going to learn from their dishonest business practices.

Buyer Beware
May 1, 2017

Found it difficult to use to begin with. Didn't realize that when you pay for the use of this product you are actually enrolling in a monthly subscription and there are no refunds. Would not recommend this product. The whole purpose of this product is to edit a video so you can upload it to different sites in my case it was for school. Well I paid for 30 minutes but it never cut my 20 minute video and deducted for the 30 minute allowable for $10. Movie maker is free and a lot easier to use.
