A Look at Animotica - Quick Tools

There are people that want a basic video editing software and don't want to use their phone or tablet. 

Or can't. 

This includes a lot of Windows and Android users who haven't found what they need in terms of an app or software.. 

Animotica is an affordable video editing software that has a easy user experience, social media export options and being able to see a full size rendition. Animotica comes in three versions, Free, Lite and Pro. 

In this post, I want to take a look at the Quick Tools section. There are some goodies.

What You Will Need

Familiar with navigating to folders on your computer. Drag and Drop or knowing how to find a file or folder on your computer.

Understanding that this is a basic video editor that does a lot of things. Some you want, some you don't.

If you do have audio or video on your mobile device, knowing how to transfer it to your desktop.

Devices

Windows 10 only.

Might work on a large size Windows tablets.

Disclosure

I purchased the full version of the software last year. Some of the items displayed on my screenshots may or many not be available to Animotica Free or Lite users.

Also, I have a heck of a lot of software. I have a problem. I know it.

Quick Tools

This is the dashboard of the software. There is a lot of useful stuff, some of it accessible to free users.

Among the tasty treats are things that come up when you need them. Who among us hasn't had the need to extract a mp3 from a video:

Or  need to only add background music:

And this is probably the time to mention the payment plan and functions.

Free Plan:

• Access to the basic program features
• Can freely switch between aspect ratios
• Export in 720p
• Limited transitions, stickers and effects
• Videos are watermarked.

Lite Plan:

All of the features of the Free Plan plus

• Access to all transitions
• Export in 1080p
• No watermark.

Pro Plan:

All of the features of the prior two plans:

• Access to all transitions, overlays, animated gifs and effects
• Export in 4K
• Color adjustment, correction and effects
• Animated text effects.

I usually mention payments options toward the end of a post. But I know how some of you think. 

"Ah, I just want to trim my video. And it will do it for free? Score!" 

You will be able to do that. But under the free version, your video will export as 720p with a watermark.

This is why reading is fundamental. 

Now this is just the Quick Tools section, not the main video editing program.  

If you are interested in that, check out the above video. Animotica straddle the fence about being an entry level video editing program with some decent features. 

It isn't for the person that want or needs something like Hit Film or DaVinci Resolve. But if you need something that can get the job done at an affordable price, this might be something to examine for your needs.
