Wave.video Reviews

We love utilizing the multi-stream function. We love that it comes with the free version. Honestly, as a business consultant who handles the set up and management of Roku Channels this is our favorite to recommend because of the low cost, and the great quality of sound, and video. It is also very easy to use. Wave.video is great even for those who are not very tech savvy, with the ability to customize for those who are more tech savvy.

Our only real complaint, is that Wave.video will let you create custom intro screens, but will not let you use them unless paid. I feel if you are going to allow clients to make these things, and make custom backgrounds for free that we should be allowed to incorporate ones we make, or even ones used from a template that Wave.video gives you access to. If you will allow free access then we should be able to use them freely as well.

The built-in stock footage browser is an AWESOME feature, especially when you need to quickly throw together a promotional video without any original clips. It also features a boatload of premade templates and royalty free music, meaning that someone with very little experience can end up with a very nice video, especially if you go for one of the paid tiers.

Being an online editor, it is pretty unreliable when you are working on a large project (although this is clearly not meant to replace a real NLE like Adoble Premiere or Final Cut Pro). We ran into issues with the program loading indefinitely, and it was a glitchy mess trying to put together videos using our own footage. Additionally, the free tier only allows you to output 15 second videos at 720p, with no download option- so it's pretty much useless unless you pay!

The selection and ease for creating, downloading and launching to social media sites.
Training and FB community are awesome!

When at the publish step and start writing the title and information if you switch off of it to go look or grab on another page then when I switch back to the wave video tab publish step it wipes out clean to restart.

We love the text to video function, the AI is very intuitive and also easy to use

Paying for the video/picture stocks , we hope to have more free stocks

The quick single click to resize any video is fantastic--PLUS, the newest feature to add captions automatically!

When selecting from the audio library, missing the ability to select with finer filtering-- like duration or tempo. It does have SOME filtering, but I'd like to see more to be able to make faster audio selections.

Also, as an agency, missing being able to add additional users to an account with each having their own unique login credentials and permission levels.

I've used this tool for just over a year now and here's my thoughts:

- The tool does one thing really really well - amazing online videos.
- The process to create and publish on any platform is very intuitive.
- It's diverse with effects, pulling together clips, and just has any feature that I need.
- It makes Facebook advertising using video easy and 10x more effective.
- Support is quick and helpful. I've had a few issues in the past year and they have helped or made it right if it was their fault.

Early on in use I found certain pieces limiting like audio editing, lack of effects, timeline adjustment awkwardness. In 2018 these have all been fixed and improved to where I don't find anything limiting. If I need to get in depth then I go to a full video tool like Adobe. But for online videos this tool does it all.

You can format the sizes of the video or photo to fit different screen sizes. For example, I use it to create content for social media websites such as Linkedin, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. What's also nice is that you can use your brand colours by inserting the hex numbers into the color palate, so that it's easy to create.

It takes some time to figure out how to update the colours of the text when you want to have more options. The tutorial is great for a basic introduction, but would appreciate it a more detailed and clearly labelled way to find out about the features.

- Pricing is good and affordable
- Allows to create nice promotional videos for social media advertising
- Allows to create full HD videos
- Does not require video editing experience
- Nice and multiple templates
- There are tutorials available
- No need to install or download anything
- Robust and solid libraries
- High-quality free assets available
- You can easily change the video size to fit several social media platforms

- Free plan is really limited
- There is a learning curve, but it is not as complicated as other online editors
- You cannot download videos using the free version
- Text animation features are limited

I love the templates - they are beautiful. I also like the fact that you can add your brand logos and pantones into presets, which makes creating videos a smother, faster process. I like the wide range of soundtracks, which are easy to find and play before you add them to the videos.

I wish it was easier to edit the musical sound tracks. It would be helpful if you could choose at which point in the music your video starts on.

I think there should be more features to edit and tweak the videos as well. Right now, the functions are a little limited.

I also think there need to be more quality, free stock archives. Some of the catagories don't have any free stock video. If you are a small time marketer with just a few clients, you are already paying quite a lot for the monthly privilege of using Wave. I like it, I really do. But I think it could be even better.

1. You’re not bound to type of video
2. Huge library with quality images and videos, both free and paid <3
3. Very dedicated team behind the program, they want you to succeed!
4. Easy to use
5. Loads of features

The VoiceOver feature does still need a bit of work...
I can’t think of anything else right now

I really like the fact that the software is comprehensive and has all the features a video editor needs

The only thing that is not immediate and could be improved is the way videos are shared between users

• 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.

• 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.
