Storykit

Vorteile

One of the most important aspects of StoryKit is the possibility of starting to interact with the platform without much knowledge, we simply have to be clear about our script, translate it into the slides and from there, decorate, incorporate images, videos, rich text format and make the aesthetic shine with its own light.We can embed text in our sequence, set the duration, make any necessary adjustments, and specify what is necessary to make it match the duration of the slide, based on our criteria.

Nachteile

The traditional procedure is carried out by adding content to the slides and from there, we customize, personalize and edit based on the duration that we consider important to publish our video, this can be a job that requires time while we become familiar with all the functionalities and options of the software, but beyond the above, little by little we will make more interesting creations. It is important to review the documentation, validate with examples what we want to achieve, if we are new to the use of this type of platform, to make sure that our content is really used and generates the impact that we are assuming we want to achieve.

Vorteile

All features you need are in the system, without making it too complicated to use. I also love the fact that there are so many slide types to choose from. Love that you can drag and drop assets into the asset library and that you can use parts of videos/sequences as assets without having to cut the video before you drag it into the asset library. And the inboxing part to other clients is great.

Nachteile

1. That the intro-slides don't have the option to choose smaller font sizes and more characters. Sometimes (in certain languages) intro-slides are hard to use since words are too long and will be cut.

2. That music files cant be filtered, and that you cant choose where to start playing a music tune. Sometimes you want the tune to start 3 sec in.

3. That you can't inbox entire campaign files with multiple jobs in them.

Vorteile

I like that you barely need video skills to be able to create great looking videos. It is easy to combine text and images into short videos using a variety of slides. I especially like the AI functions which allows you to make a video in no time at all.

Nachteile

I would like to explore how I can use Storykit in more inspiring ways as to vary my video-making more. Sometimes the videos look a bit too much like each other.

Vorteile

The best thing is that there are so many text-slides because this saves a lot of time compared to animate text in Adobe Premier Pro for instance. The second thing is that you have a generous music library though it takes quite some time to find good free music and download yourself. The third thing is that the software creates previews and final versions of your videos in the cloud so it doesn't block your computer meanwhile - effficient!

Nachteile

The organisation of the music library. It's a lot of songs to choose between but there's no categories in the list. A good system for that would be appreciated.

Vorteile

How easy and fast it is to create a good enough video and with som design skills and good content you can make it great.

Nachteile

The cons are that the prewiev rendering takes to long. And maybe there could be a membership that allows the user to upload custom fonts without haveing to send them in to Storykit and pay for it every time.
Another con i typography adjustments. I would be great to have the possibilites to adjust font size and line height in the templates. Or at least some templates.

Vorteile

Storykit is very intuitive and easy to use. It takes very little time and effort to make a good looking and professional video.

Nachteile

I would prefer if it took less time to generate a video in preview mode. And it would be very nice to be able to sort the music library by genre.

Vorteile

Easy to use and great stock of images and templates. Great customer service and continuous development of new features.

Nachteile

With more and more organizations using StoryKit of course you can see it being used more, and it lowers the uniqueness of your video content a bit. However, the team seem to be doing their best to come up with new templates all the time, so as a user you just need to dare to be a bit more creative and use newers layouts.

Vorteile

It is easy to use and easy to get started. You have the option to customise and choose your on assets to create branded content.

Nachteile

That the preview rendering sometimes is a bit slow.
The positioning of assets is a bit to rigid with only the options for Top/Center/Bottom - Left/Center/Right. A system for positioning the asset in the background (aka video or image) with a "drag and drop" feature would be great.

Vorteile

That I, as a non-video editor, can produce professional-looking videos for many clients.

Nachteile

Nothing. It's really good and works well for us.

Vorteile

It's really easy to put a video together. With in minutes I can have my message be delivered in a professional video that is both likable and commentable. Being able to duplicate and create different versions for different occasions makes is a time saver. Love the large image and video clip gallery that makes the videos look really professional.

Nachteile

It would help if I could listen to the main sound track per "slide" within the editing tool. In that case I wouldn't have to create a preview of the video to find out if the sound is on sync with the different clips. That would save time.

Vorteile

High quality results. Easy to use even for beginners. Efficient use in all channels. Good customer service.

Nachteile

Our professional video animation experts think that the tool is too "static" and limiting. However, for the rest of our marketing team, the tool is regarded as flexible, easy to use and an easy way to create high quality content. We have found a way too use both Storykit and professional animations, depending on the situaiton.

Vorteile

Storykit makes it possible for amateurs to get started and make videos instantly.

Nachteile

Sometimes the templates are a little too rigid. The number of characters could have come up as recommended, but that one had the opportunity to write a few more characters.

Vorteile

As a small marketing or HR team Storykit is perfect! You don'n need to be skilled in video creation. They have easy guides to get started, many templates to choose from and the support is fast in responding if needed.

Nachteile

sometimes hard to get own photos in as I dont understand sizes I should use.

Vorteile

That its easy to use, and Storykits fast and friendly customer service team!

Nachteile

There are so many different slides to use (which is good!) but it takes time to get to know them all. Would be awesome if you could see how the slide works within the video studio without having to generate a preview all the time. However, the generation process is much quicker now than what it was in the beginning.

Vorteile

I love Storykit since it is so easy to use and learn how to use. With Storykit we have produced really a lot of videos, videos that explain our somewhat complicated products and services in a much easier way - storytelling videos. To produce this many videos without such a tool would have costed me a fortune in money and it would also have costed me a lot more time.

Nachteile

We have had some problems with the publishing feature, from time to time.

Vorteile

It is easy to work with and looks good.

Nachteile

it is difficult to find suitable pictures / movies. the search function could be better

Vorteile

Easy to get started, easy to use, and Storykit keeps improving it all the time.

Nachteile

A better way to filter the different slide types and the music. A quicker way to se a preview of a storyboard in the making.

Vorteile

Storykit is easy to use! We produce a lot of videos now. :)

Nachteile

We dont see the effect of using film in social media

Vorteile

It is very easy to use and it helps you to produce professional films.

Nachteile

We have no complaints so far. It takes a while to understand the product and all it possibilitys.
