Movavi has no input or editorial review on the contents of this review and the views expressed here are my own, with a bit of help from JP who reviews the Mac version of the software to make sure we get a full understanding of how it works cross-platform.

I have been trained as a graphic designer, and I’ve worked with a wide variety of video editing and motion graphics software programs on both PC and Mac. My name is Thomas Boldt, and I’m the newest member of the SoftwareHow review team.
