Video Creation Made Easy with illusto

Off late we're seeing a pattern where multiple SaaS platforms are shutting down. While I was initially concerned what would happen to AppSumo users, a big thank you and word of appreciation for AppSumo and it's team for doing right by it's users. I have received refund on all SaaS platforms that went bust recently, except QAPop which wasn't covered under the terms. And AppSumo did right by me. Considering that it's a loss for them as well, more so because of the efforts they may've had to put in for the launch of these products, it's safe to say that AppSumo puts ethics and user experience on top of everything else and really cares for it's users... Big shout out to everyone working at AppSumo... THANK YOU FOR DOING RIGHT BY US...

I didn't have any problems with the site. Loved it in fact. I used it to create videos with text, audio and music. No problems. Then...
I lost my $100 bucks as the site is scamming... I mean closing.
So tired of these sites stealing our money and dancing away with no consequences.

Appsumo needs to do proper investigation before allowing these apps on their platform that closes after 1 year. How will i get back my hard earned money now? I was not even able to edit a video properly using this scammy platform. I sat waiting patiently for the platform to improve only to hear that it is closing. I need back my money!

Ver y bad, another productos that is closing after the year.
There are many deals where i hace invest muy money and loose it. Pretty bad, scam companies?
scared to continúe buying and this happening.

Conveniently closing it's doors 1 year after campaign to avoid refunds. Not a coincidence I'm sure. Just bad actors. This kind of scheme makes me completely hesitant to buy from AS. These companies know exactly what they're doing and it will be the ultimate downfall of the entire platform since nobody will have any confidence to purchase a deal that's likely to run 1 year before they get paid out and then send a heavy heart email.

I have tried to develop and design videos using this tool. It's been a regrettable ordeal. I just clicked "Use This Template" over 5 minutes ago - it's still spinning and will not render. Several times during video editing, the interface freezes and I'm forced to close out. The capabilities and customization features are very limited. I waited an entire year for the founders to build out templates but that never happened. There is only a small quantity of templates, and most of them are poor quality. Unfortunately, this was a waste of money.

I normally dont like tools which promise a lot of things but then as soon as you purchase, issues arise. Support is none existent. The tool is very slow and lags significantly. I had raised this issue a long time ago but till date heard nothing. No updates or improvements which is sad.

I just tried to create a basic video with 1 image, 2 lines of text, a logo, and a soundtrack.

I spent over an hour putting all that into the canvas and manipulating about 4 seconds (!) of the video, and the browser glitched.

After reloading the page, the canvas was all messed up and not usable anymore, even if it auto-saves after every single click.

It's a pain to drag and drop elements to canvas. At least, they should disable text highlight (a.k.a. select text) which stays in the way all the time.

Why is this Illusto still so glitchy?

I bought it about 5 months ago and I hoped it would become a good video editor, but it's still not usable at this point.

It is too slow, it's lagging, it's glitching, and the auto-save feature is obviously useless.

And the support didn't answer my recent ticket.

IS THIS TOOL STILL DEVELOPED OR ABANDONED?

If I could get a refund, I would do it without a blink of an eye.

Dear @appsumo, the 60-day refund period has obviously become obsolete. Please, reconsider prolonging it to 6 months, so shady founders can't fetch funds and f**k off.

For whatever reason it decided one day not to work as fluidly as it had been since purchasing, approx. three weeks after purchase. Customer service was a welcome relief.

I'm so glad I got this deal! It has become my go to video editor. The library of videos is (obviously) amazing and the functionality of the editor - impressive!

Illusto has earned its place as my go-to video editing solution. Its user-friendly interface, comprehensive feature set, creative capabilities, and reliable performance make it an ideal choice for content creators of all levels. I highly recommend Illusto to anyone seeking a powerful and versatile video editing tool with huge sets of stock library that delivers outstanding results.

I really wanted this to be a keeper, but I dropped a comment here before about the new version kicking me out continuously. I left Illusto on the shelf for a bit to see if this was resolved. Tonight I jumped in again to make some vidz. The same issue occurs. I'm working (Macbook Air M2, new / Chrome Browser) on a video for ten minutes. it just kicks me out. Hugely frustrating and time wasting. If this #1 critical issue isn't being resolved, and its mentioned by others, I think the developers have introed the product way to soon. And as the 'kick out' issue is actually on the new version, that's more worrying about platform stability. I'll give it a couple of days to hear devs response and then decide.
