Finally i can move from set to studio and everything is ready to use, without me copy pasting everything on my drive or whatever... highly recommend if you trully want to save some time.
Olivia R.

I wasn’t sure if it would fit into my workflow, but I actually really like it. The effects look clean and professional + i don't have to manually download every script from the internet, they are bundled here together.
Lucas M.

It’s a practical tool for anyone who edits regularly. I like that I can drag and drop effects without overcomplicating things. Some effects are more useful than others, but for fast turnarounds, this is a no-brainer. I use it way more than I expected.
Jessica R.
Corporate Video Editor
This is one of those tools you don’t realize you need until you try it. It’s not going to replace everything, but it makes editing smoother, especially for routine projects.
Sarah K.
Content Creator
I like how easy it is to use. I was worried it might feel too generic, but there are enough options to make it work for different projects. Some effects feel more polished than others, but for quick, professional-looking edits, it’s a great tool to have.
Alex W.
Social Media Creator
The best thing about Spotlight FX is how quickly I can get an edit looking good. I don’t always use the effects straight out of the box, but they give me a strong starting point. I still do manual tweaks, but it’s way faster than doing everything from scratch.

It’s a huge time-saver when working on tight deadlines. Not every effect works for every project, but there’s enough variety to make it worth it. I still tweak some settings to match my style, but it’s nice to start with something instead of a blank timeline.

I wasn’t sure if I really needed this, but after using it for a few weeks, I don’t want to go back. The effects look polished, and applying them is way faster than building them from scratch. I wish, sometimes there were even more customization options, but overall, it’s solid.
Mark R.
Video Editor
I use Spotlight FX almost daily now. It’s not a magic button, but it does speed things up a lot. Some effects need small tweaks to fit my style, but that’s expected. It’s great for quick edits when clients need something done fast without too much hassle
