Easy to use.
August 28, 2016

Love the templates makes it fast and easy. Wish you had more. Only negitive is when you time your transitions and save them and then open that frame up again, it defaults to 10 seconds. Otherwise love it. Thank you.

So much for movie making
August 26, 2016

I was exceedingly disappointed when trying to publish my "movie" to a video. Having to submit it for processing and then hearing NOTHING back when it didn't arrive was very frustrating. It took 3 days to figure out that one of my music pieces was causing an issue and I needed to replace it. There is no tech support on weekends, and the customer service when it does arrive is terse and not particularly helpful. I upgraded my membership to be able to burn to a DVD and have yet to accomplish it. The interface is not user-friendly, with the photos appearing at the bottom rail, and they are so small that you can't see what you are doing. Reordering is clunky, and overall it's not a great user interfact.

Expensive.

There were multiple issues with the images after rendering was completed. It's a nice service, but way overpriced.

I loved all the help Kizoa gave to me! I called 3 times in one day for help, and they walked me throughout to make sure I got everything done that I needed help with. Super cute templets, music is good, it's all around a awesome site! Hope you all enjoy as much as I have.

Excellent customer service from Sam!
August 11, 2016

Hello. I completed a, "Contact the Kizoa Support Team" form online trying my best to describe a few problems that I was having designing one of my, "My Movies". After submitting this, I thought I probably wouldn't hear back until tomorrow but I received a call from Sam who understood the difficulties I was having. Right away, he directed me on how to solve my problems which made major improvements to my, "My Movie". He was great! I couldn't have done it without him. He was also very patient with me. My thanks goes out to Sam. Feel free contact me if you have any questions.

We were running low on time to put together a collage of all of our pictures for the "growing up" video of both my wife and I. Thankfully Kizoa was such an easy thing to use! I was able to create my video for free and get used to the interface before even thinking of purchasing the premium experience. Once everything was as I wanted it, I upgraded my account and got a full HD video that turned out fantastic on the projector we set up for this collage.

I was quite happy with the experience. Adding music, transitions between slides, automated animations and layouts, and many other great features were incredibly helpful for me. I probably finished the collage 10x faster than if I were to have tried on my own with another piece of software. The best part is that the images and music is all stored online, so I was able to work on it between multiple computers if I needed to!

Each year I create a montage of video clips and photos of my son (7 years and counting). I use to use i-movie but the upgrade to Captain messed up my entire computer so much so that I am finally parting ways with my Mac. I was desperate to find something comparable. I paid the premium price. I put together a 319 slide movie with music (20 min). Problem #1 I can't see the song titles in the movie as I edit it. Problem #2 The way editing is laid out as a single line at the bottom makes it very difficult to edit longer works. It takes forever to scroll back and forth and you can only look at about 10 slides at a time, so finding something takes forever. Problem #3 I cannot hear the audio of my videos over the music. There is no fade in, fade out, or music trimming. These are features of I-movie that I sorely missed using Kizoa. I can't believe that there is not more demand for these features. Customer service was great, but they really couldn't help me because the things I was asking aren't part of was Kizoa can do yet.

Hi Athena, I am glad that we were able to speak on the phone the other day regarding these concerns. I will definitely share your feedback with the rest of our team so that we can take this into consideration when planning future enhancements to Kizoa. I did also want to let you know a couple of tricks that may help:
1 - You can check the song titles when working on your movie by double-clicking a slide and then selecting to "Modify" the music. You will then see the title of the track!
2 - You can see many more slides simultaneously by going to the "Settings" tab of the Movie Maker. You could see thumbnails of up to 80 slides at a time depending on the size of your computer screen. You can also move slides around from this page.
I hope that helps!

Customer Service
August 4, 2016

My experience with customer service has been phenomenal. Whenever I call (which is alot) I receive very friendly service and my issues are resolved very promptly. When I was considering purchasing this program I was very hesitant at first but now I am so glad I did, there are so many features that I forget about alot of them. Keep up the good work

Good and user-friendly but...
August 1, 2016

The quality, designs and transitions, among others, are satisfactory other than its user-friendly interface. But I hope Kizoa would come up with the 16:9 screen size soon! Thanks!

Montage was great!
July 29, 2016

I used the premium kizoa movie maker for a montage that i was doing for a 40th surprise party! They have a huge selection of effects, transitions, collage boards and
Special effects! It was pretty easy to learn how to work the program and enjoyed the movie outcome. I would use it again but i think they need to add more effects that are not so specific. The animated items are also a great addition to any picture!

Excellent
July 28, 2016

However, when posted over to the Facebook, it doesn't look like a clear MP4. It's blurry somehow.

But again, I am happy that photos can be sequenced artistically with so much variations due to the effects provided.

Hi Ralph, I verified your account and you do have the PRO membership so you should not have any advertising. This might be a small glitch so just email me at [email protected] and let me know where exactly you're seeing a logo and I'll get that fixed for you! ;)

Easy to use, plenty of features!
July 28, 2016

I love Kizoa, and I prefer it over other popular online video editors. I have tried many, and this is imho the best one so far.

It's much better than Magisto and others. It has more controls, it's very easy to use, and you can really get what you wanted.

I bought the lifetime subscription, and I don't regret it. Highly recommended

Worked for what I needed
July 28, 2016

There needs to be more multi select functionality. Moving photos or slides around can be cumbersome. I think the effects and styles are fine. The price was fair. Customer service and responsiveness have been great.
