One of the best video editors for marketing

Reviewed on 20/03/2021

My favorite video-making app is Wave, because it makes making videos super easy for me. They have tons of templates and audio files that work well.
No effort required to get professional videos.

Pros

While I have small knowledge in the field of Video Editing, such an application offers a great deal of great features and is super easy to learn.
They offer everything you need for video marketing:
- Text to video
- Auto-captions
- Video templates
- Image and sound stock
- Voiceover
- Video editor
and more.

There are new features and improvements being launched on a weekly basis!

And a change is immediately applied when a bug is detected or a problem is noticed.

Cons

None at the moment: I am very pleased with the quality and price of the product (I bought a LTD from them).

Great software but janky

Reviewed on 10/12/2020

Pros

It's very intuitive to add effects, audio, text, and the like.

Cons

The software is the very definition of janky. I honestly don't know when it will work and when it will fail. I know that the company is experiencing problems, but I question whether its code base is solid. I'm afraid that I'll create a video and I won't be able to access it.

The best cloud based video editor for Marketing Agencies

Reviewed on 17/12/2018

Overall, Wave is a fantastic platform with a lot of amazing features! It is the best cloud based video marketing editor we have found and we do love using it!

Pros

The best thing about Wave is the fact that you can with just one click reformat a video into any platform. If you needed for a version for YouTube but then also wanted to get a square version for Instagram you can do this in literally just one click. The other feature that we have used is the text feature. Wave makes it pretty easy to add text to your video clips and then arrange them where you want them to be. They also provide some advanced features like being able to add a transition to your text. Overall we love using Wave for our agency and it has been a huge help for us specifically with marketing videos as it makes it easy.

Cons

There are some features that Wave is still missing and thus it is still not able to fully take the place of needing a video editor in many cases. You can only trim a clip in .5 second increments which means if you needed to trim a clip below .5 seconds then you would have to do this outside of Wave and then import it back in. The other key feature that we have found missing is the ability to jump anywhere on the timeline. If I make a change to one small part towards the end of the clip, I literally have to watch the entire clip from the beginning just to watch that part. Wave also lacks a lot when it comes to audio. You can fade in and fade out but other things like splitting an audio clip to add an additional track is not possible.

Pros

I bought wave on appsumo for a lifetime offer and a fantastic offer. Lots of cool features and overlays but also there is templates with drag and drop which make the process very easy. Also there are captions which make youtube videos a lot easier too

Cons

Fast, fun, and easy - Wave was a great addition for our agency!

Reviewed on 28/09/2018

Very happy with it. Have created some great pieces especially for social sharing. Clients love how quickly we can turn around something and the ease with which we can edit it before going live.

Pros

Super simple to create great looking, perfectly formatted videos quickly. We can take a concept idea to online fast! And when mocking up ideas for big production concepts, it's easy to create without getting into heavy production before a client is ready to move on it.

Cons

There are few limitations, it's more about managing your expectations of what you have the tool to do - what it is and isn't built for. Can be a little slow when "ripping" the new video for download, but that could just be the impatient person in me talking.

Reviewed on 18/09/2022

Pros

The value that Wave.video provides. I bought it on LTD from Appsumo and and bought the business plan. I can edit, create and host videos only when I bought it and it was already great software at great value. Then they added live-streaming features for free for LTDers and it blew my mind away!

Cons

The interface really can use a bit of refreshing. Other than that, it’s a very robust platform.

There's no place like VIDEO! Wave Easy.

Reviewed on 11/12/2018

Pros

I used to work with another video platform product where I didn't have the functionality of adding certain assets to my videos. Mostly I work with video platforms for Facebook/Insta or social selling videos so it was critical for me to use my own VO options or license safely with graphics that would help get to the pain point and solution of my products fast. Wave did this as they keep adding new features...one that I love is small gifs or animations such as pointing hands or smiley faces that warm the video up well but also get very specific of where a customer should look or click. The more you use Wave the easier it is because you know what works and what doesn't. They also have a great feature to zoom in/out with your video in certain areas to showcase something you know consumers can't live without. THere's also a great transition option from "shot to shot" as you can add pictures to videos as well. Very nice robust platform. Oh, you can increase the speed of the video you uploaded too which is super fun if you have a longer demo but want to speed it up to the eye. It's fun to watch and build. The best part, the price. My agency loves this product and I only stumbled upon it because I saw a cool video and asked how it was made. Nice that a novice agency owner can use it and not have to hire out on things I want to do fast especially for social media.

Cons

Once you upload a pic or video, you can't erase it. They are looking into this.

Wave Video is a mature platform with a lot of stock assets that helps you make incredible...

Reviewed on 28/07/2021

Pros

Wave Video is the most stable online video creation service that I have used. The editor is easy to use and there is no noticeable lag. I have yet to experience any issues with rendering, like I have with other video creation platforms.

They have a huge amount of premium stock assets (including videos) available for free, and the ones which aren't available at no cost are very competitively priced. I like the content calendar which provides inspiration but also suggests a large number of hashtags to use for engagement when you select a template.

Cons

The templates that are available are a bit basic when compared to some of the competition. I'm sure some people like this style, but I would have liked to see some more variety in the templates.

Response from Animatron

Thank you, Matthew!
Wow! 10 out of 10 looks amazing to me!
I will pass your feedback on templates to the designers.
We believe that less is more and we are trying to make it easy to edit and customize all the aspects of templates to make the final video look unique.
Still, there is always room for improvement!
We hear you!

Kind Regards,
Kate

Frustratingly Close To Great

Reviewed on 16/08/2018

I hoped to build videos quickly on this from the get-go as that is the value proposition here. We're not there yet. Too many companies are offering minimalist user interfaces, as clutter is taboo, but they leave VITAL editing functions (TRIM) relatively hidden, compared to the space they give Font selection. LOTS of wasted space in the GUI.

Pros

They are right on time, providing different export sizes for various social media platforms. An editor that handles 4:5 and 9:16 isn't common YET. It is a huge feature. Fairly straightforward work space.

Cons

Their scant 2 tutorials and 2 (yes just 2) FAQ's are a joke. They leave out TONS of necessary information needed to get up to speed: How to change brand colors, where in the editor is the video trimming icon? Wasted space in the GUI. Poor documentation. Tons devoted to their other software. Once I publish to one social media platform, there is no obvious way to publish to the next.. It simply says 'your video is ready'. Poor ratio of paid stock video offerings to free ones.. Same with pix. And all templates use images/video you must pay extra for, forcing you to basically remove their clips or start from scratch, which I do, negating the "ease of use" grade. Come on... If I want a paid asset, I'll turn to it, but don't force it on me..

It has been excellent with great customer support, nifty features such as GIF and stickers, excellent asset and music library and more.

Pros

I have been an old Wave user, creating videos for our clients. Over the years, I have seen Wave evolve into an amazing product and it has been totally bug-free

Cons

No cons but if I have nit-pick, I would say it becomes slow or unresponsive while editing or creating longer videos above 15 minutes

Marketing Videos made easier with Wave!

Reviewed on 03/11/2018

My final recommendation of Wave is that it is a very solid product and Digital marketers / business owners would love to subscribe to its service. I do hope they make it accessible on mobile so it will be a sure winner for everyone. Mobile first!

Pros

What I really liked about Wave is the ready made templates. Recently they introduced the Calendar which makes it easier to publish videos 365 days in a year! My husband and I love making videos on the fly using Wave.

Cons

Maybe the least liked about Wave is that sometimes it is so slow to Render the project. We got the Pro plan from a social deal and at times, it really takes time to render the video.

I love that I can choose several formats for all social media outlets. Having all my photos in a file for a particular subject is great, I can make several videos to promote my clients using assets that I only have to upload once.

Video Creation software on cloud that replaces many desktop programs

Reviewed on 09/02/2022

Pros

Reliable, error-free software with good consistent performance. Clean and intuitive UI. It's a great video making software that got done right. GIF and meme support is helpful, we can't be serious all the time in this era. Multiple text and audio track support. Auto-captioning. Blog post to video feature is great too. Ability to directly publish to social media platforms as well as gooogle drive, dropbox, etc. Currently in beta for live streaming with overlays and multiple platforms streaming. This will catapult the already good one into much higher level above competitors.

Cons

I wish there would be some more complete basic editing provided for videos and images as well as ability to blur for a particular frame or scene, loop a video. Green screen video support to be able to select a solid color and its strength level to make a video transparent. Scheduling in social media sharing could also remove the need to use another software.

Reviewed on 28/09/2020

My overall experience with Wave.video is very good. As I mentioned, this tool is a dynamic platform and anyone can finish their task online which is really convenient.

Pros

Wave.video is cloud-based which assures superior editing online. This is such a dynamic and user-friendly editor I must say. I am using this for a long time because I can finish my all marketing project with efficiency. Wave.video enables you to create stunning content with their latest features, elements, and updated text feature. I like the fact that they have the fundamentals to create a design and you can do it online. I think integration with social media is great and it’s made it easier to optimize your project to the network. Wave.video is packed with a lot of video clip, music, and other elements which are helpful to be creative with this tool.

Cons

Sometimes, I observed it’s got slow when I download any video, and I didn’t like the fact that the interfaces are not always user-friendly.

Great Video Creation App For Social Videos

Reviewed on 07/02/2019

Very good. Creating simple videos for social media used to take hours, not we can create them in about 20 minutes using Wave.

Pros

It's a video creation app that has a specific focus, social media videos. It has just enough features to get the job done but not overly complicated to use. If you make videos for Facebook, Instagram, etc, then this is a really easy way to create your own custom videos. They also have a nice library of stock videos you can use for free as well as inexpensive ones you can purchase.

Cons

Sometimes the editing options can restrict what you can do with the video, which is fine most of the time but may frustrate some video makes who want total control over their videos, in which case they want to look at a full feature video editing solution.

Good for dipping your toe in

Reviewed on 14/08/2019

I took a social media content class and they said 70% of what you're posting on social media should be video. I about fell off my chair, wondering how I'd ever create all that custom content, but then the instructor introduced us to Wave.

Pros

• Easy – not much of a learning curve – I keep swearing I'm going to learn Premier Pro but when the into call on Lynda.com is something like 7+ hours, it's intimidating
• Ability to set up brands – fonts, logos, colors
• Music is generally good although I can't seem to figure out to save my favorites. Wish I could assign music to my brands.
• The stickers add some fun.

Cons

• I seem to have problems uploading video all the time. Customer service (which is great, btw) has had to come to the rescue a couple of times
• A lot of the images, especially in the prepared templates, are not free
• The free images are pretty lackluster
• I just wish I had more control – to control space between lines of type, to kern, etc.
• Overall, it feels a little clunky but I'm sure it's because I'm used to Adobe Creative Suite where I have lots of control in the programs I use out of it.

A Beginner's Tool to Making Catchy Videos

Reviewed on 29/02/2020

When I first started on the youtube project for my company back in March 2019, I had absolutely no idea about video production. The best I could do was create templatised videos. I stumbled upon wave video and it made my work a lot easier. Before using Wave video, I was able to barely create 1 video in 3 days. After joining Wave video, my work went by a lot faster and I was able to produce atleast 1 video a day. I'd say for those who are starting out in video content, this would be a solid recommendation.

Pros

1. The user interface is simple. Drag and Drop to reorder frames, add images and video clips is what makes a good beginner video editing application.
2. The library of stock images and videos is huge and the quality is great as well.
3. The inbuilt templates for videos are well thought out and help out beginners while making their fist videos.

Cons

1. The subscription plans are a bit pricey, even the base tier. This could potentially deter a lot of budding content creators from opting for it when starting out.
2. When creating videos larger than 1 minute, the interface gets lagging while trying to edit and scroll through frames.

One of the best video editing platform

Reviewed on 26/07/2019

I was able to create branded video with high quality output to increase our audience. It is not very difficult to use and understand.

Pros

With this platform, we can create videos which can increase our product audience. We can have video library which is built-in with the platform and we can use that stock videos to our videos.Even we can set multiple clips and make a video within few minutes.Also, with the drag-and-drop media upload feature will help to creators to reduce time when creating videos.Even we can add GIF images or stickers to our video with the platform.

Cons

If we are planing to use free subscription plan, we need to remember that there will be watermark on all created videos. Also required some key knowledge regrading video editing skills.

Wave.video Review.

Reviewed on 28/05/2021

My experiences with a wave. video is good. Because I can make any kinds of video in less than minutes.Which is not possible with other video making software.

Pros

This is a cool video making software. It is beginners friendly. Here you can find many video template. Which can help you to make a high-quality video. I also use it to make a video for my Facebook and youtube channel. It is easy to make any kinds of video for that you just have to select Royalty-free video, image and sound. To use this software you don't need to know anything about video editing. Just log in and start making an awesome video.

Cons

I don't find any cons here. Because I can make high- video in minutes without editing skill.
