Deep Dive into Specific Apps

1. Simplified

Simplified is an example of a video editor and it truly is simple to work with. This one is particularly useful if you want to make a video in a few minutes as it has many automated sequences to complete your video. While using Alight Motion, one is able to perform animations and masking in Simplified, this won’t be possible. However, the application is designed for the beginners and the advanced level graphic editors. Simplified has relatively high customer satisfaction and customers’ responses on forums.

2. Synthesia

So far, you can use Synthesia for free in the trial version and later you have to go for the paid option of the app. The app is however easy to use since the majority of the features in the app are AI created. Thus, you have to put only a little effort into creating on your own. It can even write the text for your videos as well. However, you do not get as many templates for this tool as the ones offered in Alight Motion. Some users have experienced some lags with the app but there are otherwise a lot of positive things that have been said about it.

3. Camtasia

Camtasia is a very simple tool for editing videos. You can actually record using the app, given the name of the application, but the actual editing is not as advanced as in Alight Motion. It is open source but there is a pro version I suppose. The free version is only for a limited time and if you are satisfied you can continue with the purchase of the application. This can be useful to graphic editing beginners as opposed to advanced ones.

4. Wink

Another app is Wink, an application that cuts videos free of charge, and it has comparable functionalities with Alight Motion. Still, when it comes to animating, it’s not as powerful as Alight Motion. Wink is both loaded with the libraries and sound effects. It also supports almost all devices, and it has received very good ratings and comments from the users of the community. But nevertheless there are some paid options in the app that the professionals will find helpful.

5. VN Video Editor

The competitive features of VN Video Editor are available with Alight Motion as well. Nevertheless, for the effects, filters, sounds, etc., there are not many options in it. Moreover, specific tricks such as masking and key-frame animation in Alight Motion are also absent here. Nevertheless, VN Editor is actually free and there are many users who prefer this program. However, more often than not, it will be most useful to the beginners due to the fact that most of the tools are professional only.
