  • Amazing, but…

    I used to have a subscription to this app (the yearly one) and it expired recently, and the amount of ads there are is honestly disgusting. There’s one everytime you make/open a project and two when you export it. Then there’s the subscription. I know there used to be a yearly option but it’s gone now? It’s for $4/week and I just want to say that literally nobody that is sane would pay for that, it’s $208 a year which is insane considering really the only thing you’re getting out of it that you’ll actually use is no ads, no watermark, parenting, and maybe a few effects. The yearly plan it used to have was something like $30/year which is a much better deal. Also, the fact that a big pop-up ad comes up everytime you open the app and enter a project pressuring you to get the subscription is really annoying, like I said, nobody in their right mind is going to buy it.

  • Alight Motion Review

    So.. this app is supposed to make my Gacha Videos with better animations?
    I can agree with this! Although I don’t use Alight Motion a lot is because It’s not a beginner-friendly editing app to use. I use Capcut for a better start with editing and I’m a pro with Capcut now.
    I really want Alight Motion to be a bit easier for people who are beginners with editing. But the features and effects you can add are amazing! Overall I think this app is really great for people who would like to tween, make cool anime edits, and much more with editing! I don’t suggest using this to edit Roblox edits in such, Roblox edits can be made with After Effects which is a great platform to use effects.
    But yes, overall I think this is great but I just want it to be a little beginner-friendly.

  • Love the app, but huge issue

    This app is great, it’s easy and fun to use, and I can make some pretty good edits w it. I’ve had it for about 6 months, and maybe 2 months ago whenever I would go to export an edit it would crash at the same precent, at first I thought it was because the file was to big or something but I was able to export videos bigger than that before, it’s would take 5 -7 try’s before it would actually finish. But now it’s keeps crashing at the same precent (60-63 depending on the vid), for every video I make regardless of the file size, I’ve tried taking down the frame rate and quality but nothing changes, I’ve also deleted old edits and still the same project

    Please help me with a solution or something, so I can keep using this awesome app 🙏

  • I Love This App But it’s Letting Me Down

    I love this app, ive been using it for a couple years and i’ve started to rely on it just for normalcy in my life. But when I go to export projects every once in a while they won’t export saying it failed. So I lose all my hard work and I can’t save it or watch it or any of that stuff. And it just hurts me every single time because there’s nothing I can do. Lately it’s gotten incredibly easier for my app to lag when scrolling through my project. I used to be able to hold over 100 projects on my phone without a problem and without the storage on it in my phone to exceed 30 GB, now I can’t seem to get it below 50 with only less than 30 projects on my app. The graphs for transitions are never smooth anymore which graphs are supposed to help with. And certain effects are hard to use, like the mosaic effect which shifts the layer so if you tried to make a transition with it, it wouldn’t match and is useless to use. I love this app, it’s one of the only editing apps i’m able to do so much with without paying, but it’s just gone incredibly downhill and my experience has worsened overtime and looks like it will never get better.

  • Amazing app! (though a few tweaks would be nice)

    First of all, I would like to state: I love AM! It’s an amazing editing app and I’ve been using it for almost 2 years now. Though I love this app and I believe it’s great, there are a few issues I’ve experienced throughout using it. First issue is that whenever I’m working on a project and it gets to many layers or something, it will glitch out and I have to exit the app for it to work. It may be my device or it could be the software. Either way, the main issues I have are with glitches and bugs. I’ve also noticed that when I try and export the clip it will freeze for a minute around the 39% mark and then take way longer then the estimated time. Now that that’s over with, I think you guys are doing amazing work! Keep going I know you will achieve so many more great software apps! Thank you so much,

    Me<3

  • Please change it back, or fix it.

    I’ve had Alight Motion for about a year now. It’s good and reliable! A great program to edit. Although, ever since I got myself a new iPhone and tried downloading it, it seems different. Simple effects such as Tiles, Saturation/Vibration, Pixelate, and Auto Shake are now for premium users only for me. My friend also bought a new iPhone with me, so when she tried downloading Alight motion, it’s completely normal for her. None of the basic effects were premium. I’d like this fixed, as I’m not able to edit without these type of basic effects. I’m sure many users or almost all users use tiles, so I don’t see how it’s fair. It really pains me that this has to happen, as I can’t find a way to fix it. I’ve searched up everything, but no results. I’ve also contacted Alight Motion a while back, but they told me it was a trial phase. It’s.. been a while now. I’d appreciate it 100% if the trial phase was over, as it definitely does not satisfy me. Alight Motion, you’re a great app, but please fix this soon! Basic effects that need to be paid is just not it.. And I don’t enjoy grouping every picture to turn it into my substitute tiles either, as Offset is also premium for me. Thank you.

  • Very good app, although some issues.

    Perfect for editing. Amazing features, effects, etc. Some things do however bug me. When importing videos, from the media screen, the video i want to be imported doesn’t show up. This has been going on for a while. And it is starting to get frustrating when i’m available to begin editing a video but i can’t even get the first thing i need to get started. Another problem that is a little less problematic is the lag that happens when editing the project. The delay and visual bugs that happen can get quite annoying and inefficient as you have no idea if something looks good or not when you cannot even tell what is happening in the project. The video turns out fine after exported but that takes time that could be used fixing errors or making improvements. I feel as if these both should be fixed as fast as possible. When this is done if ever done, it will be a 10/10 app and software.

  • Why Alight Motion is a good editing app

    I just love this app so much it’s easy for me to make edits while using this app, one it doesn’t kick me out of the app when I spend
    hours on the app, and it is a nice program in this app and it allows me to use affects like they have a bunch of affects to use and it is amazing! They are amazing affects you can use for your edits and they even have tutorials on how to use the affects and how to use some other stuff on the app and how to make a beautiful set and on how to use the app correctly if ur new to the app like me but I watched a lot of tutorials from there videos and I’m surprised that they explained it really well and I could understand on how to do that and this and they also were very helpful to me and gave me a hand with there tutorials and I like this app so Im giving it a 5/5 stars anyways thank you for reading this ;)

  • No audio when exporting?

    When anytime I try to export a video, an error message would show up but when I export a video without audio it allows me to export it. I am super confused because I don’t get what the audio did for this app to not allow audio while exporting. And the video was only 30 seconds long. The things that alight motion told me to do when I try to export the video didn’t work or help. This is very concerning since many other apps have this problem or audio issues. I can’t add any audio to my video at all. Please do fix this problem. This is starting to get annoying.

    Other than that, this app is great for editing! I really like how there are lots of features but most of them are locked because of membership. That being the case also made this app not have lots of variability since most of the features are locked. I hope in the future that more options become open for non-memberships.

  • Alight Motion is not great to use anymore

    The alight Motion app will no longer be my favorite because when I messed up alight Motion, it starts to crash so I had to delete it and delete all of the unneeded apps. Sorry that it keeps crashing every day :( so I’m deleting it forever. The only way I can use to video edit perfectly is not using the camera for the project. All I have to do is just stay where the project has layers in them. I’d rather use KineMaster, but not on iOS. That’s the only app I’d use on my Samsung tablet instead. Oh my! No explosion is needed: When I tried to replace the layer, the replacement won’t work! I had to close the project and reopen it again, but the problem is that the project was completely empty and the aspect ratio won’t go to 16:9. And then I would get out of the app! I had to open it again. I tried to replace and edit the layers a lot of times once I copied my project. I tried to do that but the reasons is that the layer would disappear. The only layer that stops controlling with the size is the reason that it would not stretch correctly to -60 stretch axis. Then something weird, it shrunk.
