Challenges & Limitations


Nevertheless, just as any application, Alight Motion is not flawless. The following are some of the challenges cited by users:


Performance / lag issues

Higher-end (numerous layers, effects, and high-resolution) projects can be slow on low- or medium-end phones. There are long-time users who wish to have a PC version to have a smoother time editing. 

Google Play


Steep learning curve

Novices may be bewildered initially. Even making short animation is said to take time before getting used to it. 

Google Play


Adverts and watermark on the free edition.

Freer users are subjected to advertising and watermark on the videos exported. Many feel the ad load is high. 

Google Play


Full feature subscription requirement.

In order to access some features, no watermark on export, or access premium content, you need a subscription. 

Google Play


How to use it in the best way possible.


Keep it simple, initially, select fewer layers and simple effects before you are conversant with the interface.


Save all your favored effects and styles, thus not to repeat settings over and over again. 

Google Play


Controlling complexity can be done by using masking and grouping.


When adding preview resolutions, set the preview resolutions lower using the editing process in case of lag issues but use higher resolution resolutions when final-exporting.


Check community templates and tutorials - numerous creators post out project files that you can break down and study.


RAM/usage: Alight Motion requires a minimum of approximately 1.5 GB to be able to run.

Who Should Use Alight Motion?


Alight Motion is ideal for:


Production of social media that is dynamic in nature.


Novices to animators or motion graphics unable to access desktop software.


Animation and effects learners.


Any person, who desires to create interesting short videos, intros, title screens or visual effects.


Lightweight apps may be more effective in case you only require the basic needs of video editing (cuts, filters). However, in the case of motion work that requires creativity, Alight Motion is the best.

Final Verdict

Alight Motion is a mobile studio that is powerful and attractive to those creators who desire to do more than just basic video editing. It introduces a professional-like usage to your phone, though some of the devices would lose some functionality. With its functionality and versatility, it can be worth experimenting with by serious creators (as well as by upgrading to full use).


In the event that you are obsessed with images, animation, and imaginative presentation, Alight Motion provides you with the means - you bring the fantasy.
