Slick reviews

While I initially saw potential in this tool initially, and to be fair they have added many features along the way, however there are still issues and bugs that seem to come and go with each update. Worst of all, Slick did not honor all future updates as written in their AppSumo offering. If you subscribe to their monthly plan, you get all the new features such as faceless video automation, etc., but as a LTD buyer, we are being charged extra to use those features and forced to buy credits per use, even though those features are part of the current Pro and Business plans. Bottom line is that they did not honor "All future Pro Plan updates" or, in my case, "business plan updates," as I maxed out on codes. I am very disappointed. Instead of recommending them as a tool, I'll be directing my audiences to a competitor that delivered on their promises. Unfortunately, this seems to be another company that just used LTD buyers to fund their development, then left them behind and failed to deliver on their promises.

My account was flagged for using. I asked for support and nothing. About to ask for a refund. Waste of money. System was always flaky. I tried to get support and support is also flaky. No one gets back to you.

Slick is a platform with the potential to become an essential tool for creators. However, its development progress has been somewhat slow. With further development, it could compete with major players in the market, but there are still areas that could be improved.

**Pros:**
- AI-powered video editing: Easily create engaging short-form content with features like auto-generating emojis, effects, B-roll footage, and auto zoom in/out.
- Customizable captions and templates: Inspired by popular creators, these allow for personalized and professional-looking videos.
- Content repurposing: Ability to transform YouTube videos into short-form content.
- Engagement tools: Generates hook titles, descriptions, tags, and progress bars to enhance viewer engagement.
- User-friendly interface: The UI is easy to use but still requires some adjustments for optimal performance.

**Cons:**
- AI-generated B-roll quality: While useful, the quality can be further improved.
- Auto zoom in/out feature: Though helpful, it could be refined.
- Customer support: Limited responsiveness, with some users experiencing long wait times for replies.
- Lack of a public roadmap: Users are left in the dark about upcoming features and improvements.
- Performance issues: The platform can occasionally lag and slow down.

**Recommendations:**
- Auto-GIF function: Adding this feature could make video content even more engaging and dynamic.
- Auto-Frame function: Including this would help maintain focus and framing consistency in videos.
- Expanded effects library: Adding more video effects would make content more engaging and visually appealing.
- Improved customer support: Enhancing responsiveness and providing a public roadmap would significantly enhance the user experience.

Overall, Slick shows a lot of promise as a creator tool. With more transparent communication from the team and a faster development pace, it could address its current limitations and implement new features. These refinements could position Slick as a strong contender in the short-form video creation space.

This is the second time i bought this hoping to see improvements.

When trying to upload all videos or by youtube url it says: 'The video did not have any spoken words. or 'this video is too long' even for 12 minute videos and im on top tier.

Worse than my 1st time purchase 6 months ago.

I've never used a product from Appsumo that seemed so far from an official release. I really dont think this should be open to the public yet. Not much seems to work as it should with this software. I tried testing out a few videos but it would get stuck at the transcribing process. I tried uploading my own videos and also grabbing URL's from youtube as well. This happened multiple times and any project I created never finished, however, it ended up still using credits too even though it didnt provide anything! I reached out to customer service multiple times as well. First time I got a fairly quick response but it was very unhelpful, the issue was never fixed. A week later, I reached out again for a follow up and still havent gotten a response.

Okay, in Tier 1 you can upload a maximum of 200MB. I had to use Handbrake to encode my movies to a poor resolution.
Less than 2GB is not very user-friendly.

Creating reels takes forever. And I couldn't get any automatically created ones, only ones I made from the transcription.

Unfortunately, no tool that works for my needs.

I tried uploading a few different videos, all about 30 min. long and they wouldn't upload because they kept saying they were too big. It seems you have to have shorts to create shorts lol.

Videos rendered sideways etc. Reached out for support and was told to only use mp4 files; I was only using mp4 files. Got a refund.

I am looking for a clip maker using AI and I am not expecting a lot on the AI side because lets face it, most of these AI tools need the human touch still.

The transcription seems to work well enough, but the clipping experience right now needs work.
After going through the initial clipping of the a longer video, I could not go back and reclip. Instead, I had to reupload, using another credit :/.

Then once you got to the clips, the low res preview of it was always stuttering with lag, nothing I could do to fix that. This made it really unusable - I tried to do some self troubleshooting and then it became aware it was not my problem to fix.

The AI features were sub par as expected. I cannot fault them - this his how it is until we find what works. The B roll wasn't usable. My video was about cloud infrastructure - so I forgive it for being useless there with the B roll. The magic zooms were really bad too - there was no way to remove all the zooms once they were applied - good thing I reuploaded the video twice....

Waiting on some support answers, in case I'm just new to the software, but I most likely will be refunding this purchase.

Slick is truly a very helpful app. It has everything for creating and editing viral shorts. Makes video creation an easy process. The limits are very generous and the support is top notch. Don't overlook this nifty AI video tool, get it.

App is excellent. And will become better in the future.
I have also bought minvo deal, both has their pros and cons. But, liked the deal aspect of uploading 25 videos per month.

The tier 1 limitations should include a statement
1. You can't upload a video greater than 60 mins in length, so if a youtube video has 65 mins length, then you can't just paste the link to create shorts out of them.

Slick is literally what was missing from my AI toolbelt. I love using it and it has completely freed up my time with the b-roll and clip generation features. One of the best purchases I've made on App Sumo. 10/10 would buy again, glad I got the best package. I was also able to add my fiancé to the account through the Team settings and we are loving the ability to both use the accounts monthly limits for our own separate projects. It's a great app and we are excited for the audio to video and face swap features that are coming soon. Excited to see where this app goes and how well it grows in the future.
