  • Perfect for editing but…

    I love this app!! It has great effects and it’s pretty easy to work. But I have two problems. 1. Whenever I’m making an edit with a lot of groups it takes me back to my Home Screen and most of my progress is.. gone! Sometimes I don’t even have to make a n edit I can just listen to my audios and it’ll still take me out of the app. And it gets really annoying especially when your trying to export! 2. Now to the exporting problem. When I finish my edits. They don’t like to export. Like I said before it takes me out of the app. I can get to the 30% mark on exporting and it just stops and glitches! It’s very annoying because i can make as many edits as I want but i can’t watch them without it glitching out of the app. I hope one day you can fix these bugs but I do highly recommend this app! If your trying to get into editing.

  • Access Premium Features

    I recently just downloaded the app and so far, it seems like an awesome editing app for the iPad. My gripe with this app is that I can’t access certain features because you have to pay a monthly or yearly membership, and I don’t have any money in my account. I just wish there was a way for us to access the premium features with out paying the membership for a certain amount of time like having a lifetime payment, or even watching a 30 second ad (just like ibisPaint). Some people have said the before the update, everyone was able to access all the features before the update came, where the membership was now required and many people have complained about the situation. There was also an event that had all the features on this app to be used by those who didn’t pay the membership that I missed.

    So, that’s why I’m putting a 4-star review. I wish there was a way we can access the premium features for a certain amount of time or just pay for it for one time. Hope you guys are okay with the review

  • App is great! but..

    Okay, So I’ve been using alight motion for the past year or two and it has a big improvement and I really like how they stepped up their game with the new version with null and stuff. But there’s a problem, it’s really laggy. Yes, I get that it can be laggy a bit at some times but I was only using a couple effects and the lagging got so bad it powered off my whole entire phone. I don’t know if this has happened to anyone else but this has been happening for awhile. And now ever since the new version came out the lag for me is even worse. I wouldn’t say the fix it where there’s no lag at all but please just try and tone it down it a bit because I cant even make a small edit without it powering off my whole phone.

    Other than that though, props to alight motion, that new null effect and camera effect, its pretty cool !

  • Please fix the crashes, glitches and bugs, as soon as possible

    This app is the best except the crashing that happens when I try to play and see the video that I was trying to edit. Well I was almost done with the project and it just crashed suddenly and now I can’t see my photos when I go to “image & video”..it’s empty for some reason if these bugs could be fixed it would mean a lot to me and many others. And lastly I won’t give on alight motion just because it’s crashing, it used to happen to me in the past but now it became a very big problem..I would really recommend this app for those of you who wants to edit and do animation! But please be aware that there are some bugs…although I appreciate alight motion so much, it would really be very helpful if these bugs could get fixed. I cannot see any of my photos I think this is a new glitch?

  • Alight Motion Is Great. But not everything is perfect

    I honestly love this app. I’ve used it for around 2 years now (December will be my third) I love how much freedom this app has when you can pretty much do whatever you want in it. Exporting in amazing quality and all of the great effects that you all have added. But some issues poke through that made my experience a bit more aggravating than any. Now it's my fault with how many clips I put in or how many effects I add. But this app does lag a lot most of the time, even when I delete a big amount of the effects and clips. And a lot of the time when I'm editing the music or sound effects depending on what type of thing I'm editing starts to just not work, then I have to continue to restart the app for it to work. Now honestly, this might be because of me and how much stuff I add to the project but I wanted to address this cause it's bugged me for a while.

    Hope you have a great day,

    Ashton.

  • I’m on the verge of uninstalling this

    This app is useful. It gets the work done. Just, extremely inefficiently. It’s full of glitches, including but not limited to: The video player displaying a white screen when pressing play. - Everything but the video freezes when pressing play, forcing you to close the app. - When you group layers, they get blurry. - When you use the “Copy background” effect, any effects put on the layer beforehand won’t be applied to the background. - And last but not least, everyone’s favorite: The app crashes when you preform certain tasks too fast. It depends on how much is in your video, but I’ve gotten to the point in a project where the app will crash if I press anything. Literally anything. The app may have a lot of useful features, but it lacks good performance, which is one of the most important things. I’m on the verge of uninstalling this app. Please fix these problems.

  • Like having After Effects on your iPad!

    Plenty of pro features for creatives. Get complete control over text/title animations, motion graphics, and chromakey in all your videos. Once you figure out how powerful this app is you won’t be able to turn away. Personally, I’m hooked! This is the closest app to After Effects for the iOS device. The interface is fairly simple and straightforward. Doesn’t take much time to figure out where everything is and how it works. There is even an extensive help and updates section integrated into the software. One productivity feature I would suggest is the ability to use the spacebar for PLAY/STOP functionality on the timeline when using Magic Keyboards.

  • Worst app I’ve downloaded.

    The features in this app are amazing, and what the app can do is stunning, but there’s a HUGE problem, the app is SUPER SUPER laggy and slow, and it ALWAYS crashes after just a few minutes of using it, And when it gets to a point where it crashes so much from you trying to save your work, it just CRASHES YOUR ENTIRE DEVICE this app is garbage and their is absolutely NO point of downloading the app. I’ve lost SO MUCH TIME AND EFFORT on this app it’s disgusting. Please don’t download this if you ACTUALLY WANT TO MAKE GOOD WORK AND ACTUALLY HAVE IT SAVE. And this is not just my problem, it’s MULTIPLE others problems too, it’s why the app has 4 stars, when someone has this same problem they just say “contact us here ________” They are doing nothing to actually fix this, and it’s disgusting. By far the worst app I’ve ever downloaded, please don’t download this, this DOES NOT deserve 4 stars. Don’t just take away 1 Star because of this problem this problem is HUGE and the app is pointless because of it. Thanks for reading, and thanks for doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to fix this Alight Motion.

  • To much to pay for...

    Ok this app is good but there’s to much you have to pay for It’s literally forcing you to pay. And I’m a minor and I don’t have the money. Nor does my dad want to pay for an App. Ik this app has to make some money somehow. But give more options for gods sake! I really want to use the wave effect but I have to pay for it. It makes me really sad. To be honest cute cut pro was way more worth it then this would be. Honestly instead of doing a payed membership just let us buy it off the spot for like 5-8 bucks! Please do this because my dad would be more willing to buy that then a payed membership. Other than that this app is amazing it’s like cute cut and Kinemaster combined! I’ve even decided to switch over to alight motion instead of cute cut because I love this app :D

  • The app crashes at everything, but...

    Okay, 1: If I try to group 7, or 3 long things together, the app crashes, and I’m unable to access or edit the project without it crashing, 2. Exporting, Exporting anything will take forever, and crash, repeating what happened in number 1. 3. The watermark. The watermark is gigantic, I know it gives you and option to move it, but then it takes that entire part of the screen.

    The idea, the idea of the app was good. Most of the stuff used for animation, is free. But the effects are a 50/50, some are free, some are not. I know you can get the app to be better, if you stop the crashing. If it gets updated and fixed, I’ll add a new review, or remove this one. Just please fix it. I use it for most of my video’s effects. But then again, this could all be a device problem. And I am willing to get it fixed if it is. And I am not going to remove the app, but I won’t be using it until a few months after this review.

    In conclusion:
    If you’re looking for an app for: tweening, free effects, no big watermarks, and not having a limit before it crashes, I recommend you find a different app, and check in later. But don’t completely forget. Since app can change.

    As, Someone who got the app, even though it said crashing a lot, it will crash more then you thought.
