Movidmo vs Animoto
Both are browser-based video makers built around templates. The difference is what a free account lets you do with the video once it is made. On Animoto's free plan you cannot download it, it carries a watermark, and it is licensed for personal use. On Movidmo you can download it, with no watermark, and use it in your business.

Why people switch
Download it, use it for business
Download an MP4 from a free account with no watermark, and use it in your own ads or in work for a client.
Free, with nothing to upgrade to
The templates, the video editor and both AI makers are free. A free account is all you need to save and download your work.
Video and images in one place
The image editor and AI Image Maker sit beside the video editor, so your thumbnails, posts and ads share one brand look.
Coming from Animoto?
Movidmo cannot open Animoto projects, but you rarely need to. Find a video ad template close to what you made and swap in your logo, text and media, or describe the video to the AI Video Maker and edit what it builds.
