Magisto review

Magisto, now owned by Vimeo, hands most of the editing to AI. Its App Store listing describes three steps: select photos and clips from your gallery, Google Photos or iStock, pick a style such as Celebrate, Love, Memories or Travel, then pick music from a commercially licensed song library. The smart editor then adds graphics, effects, filters and music in a way that tells a story, and the listing says it can create moving photo slideshows or video collages even if you have no video clips. Templates cover birthdays, invitations and anniversaries, and you can still cut, trim, merge and reorder clips and add text. The listing also tells you what the free tier lacks: Premium, at $6.99 a month, adds premium styles, removes the Magisto watermark and allows 10-minute movies. Professional is $29.99 a month, and a single movie download is $0.99. We compared documented features and published prices.
