Problem with trimming video 😕
Okay so I was trying this app because I’ve seen many people use this app for editing and I wanted to try to make edits. So the problem is that when I trim the videos it lags the video and I’ve tried multiple videos. I also don’t know how to trim it so I pressed the button that had squares I pressed them and when I played the video it lagged but before I trimmed it the video didn’t lag. So if you reply I would love some help or a tutorial for this app if you have one let me know, I’m just confused how you trim the video. Also I’ve tried multiple editing apps I only understand CapCut and KineMaster. When I added the video the beginning was white when I trimmed it I didn’t add another layer below it. This is an amazing app with cool effects but I just understand how you trim the videos without them glitching. It’s would be great if you replied to my question about how to trim and my confusion of the glitching in the video. Thank you for reading my review ❤️Show lessAKSLEEPY
problem :(
I absolutely love this app but there’s a problem that has been going on with the app. Recently while I try to edit some of my videos it keeps kicking me out after a second of being in the project making. I really hate this, I have tried everything, shut off my device, try to refresh and even duplicate my project. It still doesn’t work, although I don’t want to delete the app because I know my projects are going to be lost even do I have an account there’s way on it to come back. I really hate it and it’s been sending me back with my editing, and my social account. Yes, I also have premium but because of this problem that has been going on for almost a week I cancelled my membership. HOPEFULLY this can be fix because I have been working really hard in my projects for me to lose them. I will also come back and give 5 stars if this is fix within a few days!Show lessxo.alexa.xo
Please fix this glitch
Alight motion is a amazing app for more experienced editors and I would 100% recommend this to anyone who loves to edit. The problem I’ve been having recently is when I’m in the move and transform section and I’m trying to move it (zoom in or out) it makes the whole photo disappear or flip it. This should be a thing happening on the transform part of it if I keyframe it, not when I want to move a image bigger.
It makes the whole thing so frustrating and I often end up quitting the whole project I was working on or wait a few days, and this is frustrating because I would love to work on it like I was planning to but can’t because one of the main tools I use is glitched. I’ve tried to work around this or find a solution but I can never find one, and it’s very annoying.
Please fix this glitch, it’s made me rage quit projects I’ve spent hours on and makes me frustrated and annoyed.Show lesswolfiefloof
Don’t even bother with this
The app is extremely laggy and will crash constantly by literally using editing opinions in the app. Once your project starts lagging and glitching, consider it gone because the constant crashes will only make it worse as you try to salvage it. Quite literally if you try to play your project it will lag horribly before crashing seconds later. You can’t even export your projects in an attempt to save them since it will crash in the downloading process. So you’re left with one option: Start over again from scratch on a new project. But oh wait, it’ll just lag and crash again. 🥰😍
The developers have been told this is a common issue with their app for MONTHS. But they couldn’t be bothered do anything about it and will occasionally respond with the generic, automated “please email customer service” reply in the negative reviews. It’s sad since this app actually has a lot to offer without needing a subscription, and is fairly simple to use. But really you’re better off using the free version of Videostar or some other editing program. At least with those you get a functional app.Show lessPOTM JL
Lags and crashes
The app is not bad. The effects and items are very smooth but the app lags A LOT if you put certain effects. For example I was working on a video when the app crashed. My phone began to freeze and started to look super choppy (I own a fully updated iPhone 8). I deleted the app but my phone still continued to freeze. This scared me to death cause I thought I would have to buy a new phone 🧍♀️. I barely managed to turn off and reboot my phone due to the lag. This all took be around 30 minutes to do. I really enjoyed the few edits I could create, but I will never download this app again unless I really need it. Anyway PLEASE consider fixing the bugs! It’s a great editing platform but the issues drown out all the complimentary items and overall easiness of the app. I really do love the app though so I am still considering if I will try to use it once again.Show lessJu'leah
Bugs and errors.
Look, I love this app. I edit things on here, and this app is my priority.
The thing I don’t get is why you cannot fix the lag. It crashes sometimes too. It’s been a problem for so long, but yet I haven't seen any improvement. I get you fix the bugs, but why does it crash so often? Why do you guys choose to ignore it, and move on?
Why is it so hard for you to fix something so simple? I’d like to see an improvement, well most of your users do. So stop being ignorant and at least fix the crashes.
I’m tired of making an edit, and not even being able to export it because of YOUR problems. I’m very mad, and I should have to be because of your guys problem.
I know you’re reading this, so why not do something about it. It’s sad how this app has been new for years, but no fix to the lags and crashes. It’s so disappointing.
Fix this, and I mean it. If there’s no reply, I shall no longer use this app. You know how much this app means to me? But if you keep on making mistakes and song fix them, I might just have to delete alight motion.
Developers, do something about it. I’m deeply angry. I already did a report one time, and I’m doing it the second time because you guys are ignorant and doesn't reply to anyone.
It’s sad you have to have one of your users point it out. Do something about it. Gosh that’s annoying.Show lessvvqao
Probably one of the worst editing apps I’ve ever used
I, personally, have used a lot of editing apps. And let me tell you, this app did NOT make the cut. It’s pretty laughable, honestly.
First of all, why is it so hard to make transitions smooth? For example, I’ve used both Videostar and After Effects before (I still do), and you can make transitions on those apps smooth EFFORTLESSLY. While with this app, I must do multiple things to even make it decent. And I’ve watched multiple tutorials on how to do transitions, so don’t tell me I am doing something wrong. It is naturally just not smooth. It’s very stiff.
Second of all, why does the app kick me out whenever I group? I even make separate projects JUST to group, because it kicks me out in my main one. And if I use too many layers of effects on one transition, my project is almost “labeled” to kick me out when I export. Horrible. Honestly.
And finally, why does the playback lag so much? I understand that once its exported, it’s pretty smooth and way better the playback, but it’s so annoying having to go over it with my own curser because YOU guys can’t focus on the lag and crashing. Most of the times it even kicks me out when exporting!
While the system is beautiful, the lagging/crashing and stiffness in this app makes it a horrible editing app. At least mention these problems to users. Never using again. Not that you guys care anyways.Show lesstasha😏
Its great but there are problems
I really like this app ! It worls well for my editting style and leaves room to expiriment. However, i have had 2 problems.
The first is that Alight motion isnt verg user friendly... at all. Probably because of the amount of keyframes, but that isnt the thing that needs to change. Like on funimate, i think there should be an area for tutorials on the front page when you open the app up.
The 2nd issue have happened 2 times for me. She first times it wasnt much of an issue, since i only have one photo without any keyframes, but the second time i had spent a few hours on the edit. When i added a group to the edit and tried to run it, it kicked me out of the app. I tried again and the same thing happened when i tried to edit it.Show lessgamergirl 525
Great! But...
I have been using alight motion for a while and I think it’s legit! But sometimes it crashes when I add another layer. You see, I have been learning to tween and everything was going well! When I add the head or the last part, the app crashes sending me to my Home Screen. I didn’t know if it was my storage because I even tried deleting some projects that I made to see if it wouldn’t crash. When I first got the app it went fine but now it keeps crashing. Was I adding too many layers? Because I was only adding about 5 and my other projects don’t crash even if I have more then even 10 layers! So I would like to know if I was doing something wrong or it’s just the app. Because I also tried deleting the app and downloading it again or even Ben deleting other apps for extra storage. But I definitely would recommend this for people who wanna animate! Thanks!Show lessthe person who animates
It’s a good app kinda
The apps not bad but like the free version you can do a lot of stuff with it and you can make some pretty cool edits but now when the update came most of the stuff like the effects or all you had to have premium like a membership so I had this edit I made and I didn’t get the Membership yet I was planning on getting it but not anytime soon so my edits were all based on free affects so I made the saber effect for one of my edits but now I can’t export the edit because it’s changed to membership so I’m not able to download it to my photos because I’m broke and sometimes the thing like glitches a lot and it just closes you out of the app which is pretty annoying every time I make a long edit it’s always closing me out of the app and the fact that I use are like the wave ones the way the facts and like all of them are for memberships so I can’t I are used to use that affect all the time but now I can’t use it anymore because the membership and stuff not saying that should be like there should be no membership because the app itself and going on like the free you can make some pretty cool edits with it which is why I gave it like four stars so that’s not bad but like now the times all the effect are all for membership and I don’t have that 😗✌️Show lessillumi simp❤️
