Video Editing & RecordingEditor's Verdict
Editor's VerdictWhile we use Loom daily (and feel like its a core tool in our business), we are becoming increasingly frustrated with its bloated features (no we don't need AI features 😭 please stop recommending them to us!) and quite slow (and crashes often). That said, we still haven't found an alternative that we are confident to switch to.
We used Tella to record our Motion Course and it was a fantastic tool that allowed us to beautifully record our screen + video and tie it all together with a custom background. That said, we can't envision using Tella in the day-to-day in its current form.
For example, with Loom, a core feature is being able to leave comments at different time stamps. With Tella, while you can leave comments at a time stamp, you have to manually write out the time stamp which is not intuitive.
Further, timestamps stop working after the 1 hour mark in Tella... which look, is probably not commonly needed for a regular Loom-style video, but we did need to it collaborate on for our course video (for internal feedback) so it resulted in a bit of a limiting experience.
Overall, use Loom for daily one-off throw away videos, and Tella for more refined tutorials, courses or videos that you will re-use.
