Movavi Academic is not just a screen recorder and not just a video editor — it’s both in one, and it’s tailored for education specifically.
That makes this an ideal option for teachers who want to use screen recording as part of their teaching. That can be for in-class use or for flipped learning styles that leverage useful guidance with video. Thanks to the editing part of this tool’s feature list, it offers a lot of freedom for specific video output and creative license to educators.
Movavi Academic is actually marketed to teacher, admins, and students, all of whom can use this as a way to communicate about what’s happening on-screen, for viewing on demand as needed.
This guide aims to lay out all you need to know about Movavi Academic at your institution.
What is Movavi Academic?
Movavi Academic is a video recording and editing platform that’s designed for use in education. Specifically this is all about screen recording in which teachers, admins, and students can not only record what is on-screen, and add their own commentary, but also edit freely.
The end result offers a lot of freedom to get creative with guidance on pretty much anything that can be shown and explored on a display. Since this works as a video recorder, with editing, the output can be saved and manipulated to get the best possible unique result.
Any video can easily be saved and shared so it can be accessed on demand by anyone who might need it later. So from teachers creating lessons, to students working collaboratively on projects, to admins creating useful software guidance videos — there is a huge range of possibilities created with Movavi.
How does Movavi Academic work?
Movavi Academic can be downloaded to work on a device in order to record what is on-screen as well as using other source inputs, including webcams for video and microphones for audio.
After recording, there is an option to edit videos, making precise frame cuts, correcting colors, adding visual effects, and even editing the audio to include music or multiple layers of sound.
For educators, there are specific tools that are also available to use including stickers, background transitions, and titles, all suited to schooling. These all help to make the end result look class-friendly and engaging.
Advanced AI tools can be used to automate tasks such as attaching stickers, text, or graphics to moving objects, or usefully remove distractions from the background.
For admins, there is a bulk installer setup for Windows, plus license management that allows for activation and deactivation across multiple devices across schools.
What are the best Movavi Academic features?
Movavi Academic is feature rich yet also manages to be relatively straight forward to use. The company is proud of its ability to offer pro-level video editing tools that are easy to use.
The main feature is the ability to easily screen and webcam record, which makes it great for lessons, the flipped classroom, and remote instruction.
The templates on offer — along with stickers, graphics, and more — all make for a fun way to theme videos and give an engaging and professional finish.
Throw in the AI powers and this becomes a really effective way to create useful videos. The ability to remove objects or distractions is a particularly helpful feature — ideal if you spot something after just recording a whole video you don’t want to waste.
The fact this is built to work for teachers, administrators, and students makes it even more flexible. And the ability to control how that’s installed across the school’s machines, with dedicated admin controls, makes it even more appealing.
How much does Movavi Academic cost?
Movavi Academic offers a few tiers of pricing that make it suitable for varying school levels.
For the Individual plan, you pay $59.95/year, for access to the software on one device.
Go for the Academic level, at $10/machine/year, and you get access to the software across more device school-wide. A minimum 100 licenses per school at this tier is available.
