MiniTool Movie Maker Performance Review and Other Details:

As it is a very simple video editing tool, there are not many things to tell about the performance. In my test, It performed well.

However, As it is free software, you can’t expect that much premium features here. When I exported the video, I didn’t find any 4K option. Max resolution was 1920*1080p. The timeline looks very simple. It makes it easier to add effects, transitions, motion, etc.

There are several effects, motions, transitions. But, The number is not big. You will easily miss some cool effects that you usually see on premium video editing software. However, there are some cool titles with good effects and animation which are really good.

Cons:

Missing 4K option while exporting video, lack of some cool effects, transitions, and motions have made it less appealing. No one can’t deny it. But, It’s not a big deal as free software.

MiniTool Video Maker Review: Final Verdict

MiniTool has some other cool software like MiniTool Partition Wizard, MiniTool Power Data Recovery, and MiniTool Shadow Maker. But, They are new in video editing software. As the software is free, the company has a good reputation, you definitely can use this MiniTool Video Maker. Hopefully, Overtime, It will be a decent software.
