Creating Professional Looking Videos Has Never Been So Easy
The best part of WeVideo is the flexibility to be as artistic as you want. There are templates for you to start with or you can start with a blank canvas. Students as young as Grade 1 have used WeVideo with success.
PROSI make all kinds of videos for education. Some are how-to videos, some are informational videos, and some are celebratory videos. WeVideo is so incredibly easy to use. Uploading content to edit is so easy. And I love the professional-looking quality of the completed videos. WeVideo also has a great library of images, videos and music that I can use as well.
CONSI can't think of anything that could be improved!

With WeVideo, our school continued to communicate and celebrate in fun and engaging ways!
I am so very happy we found this product in a time when personal communication had become rare and impossible at the school level. Our Friday Wrap-up videos are the highlight of each week.
PROSI love that I can come back week after week and build from my own template, making and creating updates, or squeezing in new content without spending 10+ hours to accomplish a high quality video. I also love the unique editing capabilities and robust stock video/ photo availabilities!
CONSI am looking forward to some updates with the animated text features. As a weekly user, I am always looking for ways to spice up my videos that are text-dependent.
Reasons for switching to WeVideo
editing capabilities, available sharing formats and stock video/photos.

Deceptive pricing and poor customer service
I was unhappy with how the customer support dealt with this issue and how they refused to issue a refund simply because I asked for a refund through PayPal. They claimed they cannot issue it because of that, 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.
PROSIt's relatively easy to use and has good templates.
CONSThe 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, it can happen what happened to me - you spend hours working on a video and then want to upgrade to get rid of their logo, only to discover that half of the video is gone, because you'd have to upgrade to the most expensive Business plan to keep those. There is no warning, 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.

Will it work on chromebooks for students?
Pleasant experience. The main question our team was asked: Would this be suitable for student use? My response: Yes indeed.
PROSIntuitive layout. Lots of features. short learning curve.
CONSI use SCREENCAST-O-MATIC and a feature they include that I use ALL THE TIME: Narration Silence CUT or SPEED UP? With a single click I can cut all the silent segments in a video. In WeVideo I have to find and trim each segment one. at. a. time. So my production time is higher when I use WeVideo.
Reasons for switching to WeVideo
WeVideo functions smoothly on a chromebook and is a good balance of easy to use with rich features. On my Windows computer I will use screencast-o-matic because it has one feature: Single click editing that trims or speeds up all narration silence found in a video. Most of the content I produce is lecture or software tutorial and this one feature makes screencast-o-matic my favored video editor. I can complete a lecture in one take and clean up the silence in one click.

WeVideo is an awesome tool to use in education.
I continue to be impressed with WeVideo and the support they provide to users. This organization is positive and focused on creating the best product they can. They are also advocates for education, which has resulted in improved product features to support students and teachers.
PROSI love that WeVideo is user-friendly and accessible for people who have varying skill levels with technology. It can be used to make videos look incredibly professional and has features/tools for advanced creation. This tool is an essential tool for distance and remote learning and can enhance the educational experience for students in any space.
CONSI wish the sound tracks had more editing capabilities. This part of the webtool is a little more rudimentary, but improvements are always being made with this tool.

The BEST solution for video editing with students!
Cloud-based, cross-platform! Not device dependent. Everything is stored in your account in the cloud, so you can access it anywhere you have wifi. Works on chromebooks, tablets, PC, Mac, iOS, and Android! Mobile apps available, too! The education version even has an entire library of media for students to use, royalty-free!
CONSI would like to see some more advanced features for audio editing.
Reason for choosing WeVideo
Cloud-based was hands-down the greatest advantage. We were also looking for a way to edit video on Chromebooks.

WeVideo and Creativity
Extremely pleased with the high quality videos that are produced using this online platform
PROSWeVideo allows students and teachers to be creative and produce high quality videos with ease. It ease of use means that users can concentrate on the messages, concepts they are getting across instead of all the technical stuff.
CONSI have not subscribed for the paid version so am not sure if it is value for money.

WeVideo - ‘is an useful tool with cloud storage for creator and business owner to grow new brand’
My overall experience with WeVideo is great. This is a very helpful tool for the creator. It has a very reasonable cost compared to other tools. I would say WeVideo is extremly useful platform for any business owner to develop.
PROSI must say that video editing becomes very easy with WeVideo and store the work quickly because it offers cloud storage. I am using this tool for a long time because my clients are quite happy with all the presentations. I think professional-looking videos with voice-over now a matter of few minutes. I like the fact that WeVideo is packed with a lot of important features such as video clips, images, music, animations, and element. Also, you can upload your own selected image, video, music, etc this is amazing. This software enables you to work online so, you don’t need to download it which is very convenient.
CONSI wish if they could have more elements and audio edit option to be more creative with the design. WeVideo offers only 5 minutes of video download with a free version. If anyone wants to download longer videos then they need to go for a paid version which not always affordable.

WeVideo for Education
When our administrators can use a video editing software to create a virtual celebration for exiting students and a virtual tour for incoming students, teachers can create screencasts of activities to help students understand what to do, students can record a narration of their work, office staff can create a video from student-submitted photos and videos for Teacher Appreciation Week, and tech staff can create video tutorials for staff, all with the same product, you know you have a robust product! We love WeVideo!
PROSWeVideo is a versatile, easy to use tool for staff and students to create and edit videos. We used it A LOT this past spring during Distance Learning! Our staff has used it for screencasting, narration, and creating videos for instruction. Our students use it for creating videos to show their learning. This is a valuable resource for us!
CONSWeVideo is always adding new features-- so when there's room for improvement, I know they're working on it! I would love to see real-time collaboration on a shared project. I would also love to see the ability to edit something within a video, not just clip a segement.

Easy to Use Even for Elementary Students
WeVideo is easy to use and helps even beginning users create a professional looking final video. I love the stock library of images and the software works well with many formats of video when you upload your own. My students can find the pictures and video clips they need for their projects in a safe environment. It is very easy to save and share projects. Plus you can use the same software to record video, a screen cast and a podcast.
CONSYou can find tutorials online for WeVideo. It would be nice to have help feature or FAQ section available within in the editing screen.

WeVideo is a ONE STOP shop for incredible CREATIVITY!
I have used WeVideo fro many years and it improves often as they add new features!
PROSWhat is NOT to like? There are so many features in WeVideo that allow you to create incredible and professional grade videos including green screen chroma Key, animation, but the BEST part is the thousands of media clips, music, etc. in their extensive STOCK LIBRARY!
CONSThe only problem is it is missing a CROP & ROTATE tool for Green Screen creations and the price as school budgets are in trouble right now for Covid.

Filmmaking with WeVideo
I strongly recommend WeVideo to users because it is a safe, school friendly way for students to create films. Students love the ability to use film as a means to communicate what they learn, and WeVideo allows them the capability to produce high quality films. Students enjoy using this software so much, that they forget they are doing school work!
PROSWeVideo is a safe way for students to create their own videos. It allows students to work independently or collaboratively. It also allows provides students with a wide variety of options to make their videos creative and innovative.

WeVideo: An Excellent Resource for the Classroom
I have truly appreciated getting to use the program, for professional and personal projects. I am a convert from having previously used Adobe, Apple, and Macromedia software, and would happily continue to use WeVideo for video creation.
PROSOne of the best features of WeVideo is accessibility. I have the ability to access it via the web, on multiple devices, and on slower connections. It is very user friendly, with the ability to get in right away and start creating.
CONSTo fully unlock the benefits of the program, which there are many and for great value, you must pay to unlock the full contents. While it was beneficial to have a District that covered the cost, not all teachers are that lucky.

The nice thing is about this is the fact that it is all online. The connection of the phone to the computer really does work smooth. I am excited about how WeVideo solved the problem of how to teach Video Production at both an online school as well as at a bricks and mortar school.
