Adventr

Pros: What I really love about Adventr is that it creates a new avenue where I can explore and experiment with a new medium. This allows so much possibilities for new ways of creating art and telling stories. It does all of that with such an intuitive UI.

Cons: It takes a little getting used to but once you get the hang of it you instantly get hooked to it.

Overall: Overall, I deeply enjoyed using the platform and can’t wait to see the next steps the company will take with this new medium of storytelling.

Pros: Easy platform to learn and super modular. Keeps me wanting to try new layouts for different results.

Cons: Not much video customization in the platform. Could use more tools to help creatives who don't have software such as After Effects to create their own designs.

Overall: Love the platform. I can't wait to see where it goes from here as it expands and enhances. I do believe this is just the beginning of something big.

Pros: There's a little bit of magic when you tap the screen and the video instantly responds. The published videos are incredibly seamless, kudos to the tech team for pulling that off. The Adventr editor is also quite intuitive, it was a fairly short learning curve for that. I really only felt limited by my own ideas.

Cons: It would be nice to be able to publish more than two projects as a free user. There are also a few interesting features that would be cool to play with before jumping to the higher tiers.

Overall: This would be my go-to platform and recommendation for anyone looking to build interactive videos. Everything from your own branching narrative films to social media ads where you can send a text message directly inside of the video. It's a game-changer, and has definitely inspired me to think about video differently!

Pros: I used the platform to create prototypes for interactive newscasts. The interface was very user-friendly and simple to figure out. The tutorial resources were helpful and customer support was great - I met multiple times with José to discuss my project/goals and we viewed similar projects to get a sense of the possibilities.

Cons: I would like to see more flexibility with graphics and transition elements within the platform itself (as opposed to requiring most of this creativity to be directly within the video clips that are uploaded to it).

Overall: My overall experience was positive and I will continue to use this platform in future projects. I can see this being easily utilized to create travel/tour videos, discovery/DIY instructional content for children and adults, and interactive news content similar to the prototypes I have been working on.
