History

WeVideo Inc. was founded in April 2011 initially as Creaza, Inc. Creaza, Inc. owns a related company in Norway called Creaza Education that provides a suite of digital tools for the K-12 market, including comic tools, audio editing, mind-mapping, and video editing applications.

WeVideo publicly launched its services in September 2011, changing its name from Creaza, Inc. to allay any confusion with Creaza Education and to reflect the social and collaborative nature of the platform.

Shortly after its 2011 launch, WeVideo was invited by YouTube to become a YouTube Create partner. The embedded WeVideo editor is one of a number of solutions offered by YouTube to help users create better video compositions.

In April 2012, WeVideo announced it was a launch partner for Google Drive, Google’s cloud-based collaboration and storage service.

Reception and Awards

Michael J. Miller of Ziff Brothers Investments cited WeVideo as one of his favorites at the 2011 Demo Fall conference, stating that it "presents a very strong cloud-based consumer video editing solution". Network World also named WeVideo as one of the highlights of the conference, labeling it as something to "keep your eyes on". The Seattle Times praised WeVideo's ability to allow multiple editors to work on the same video, but noted that videos having more than five editors would require a paid membership. Tech evangelist Robert Scoble noted WeVideo’s unique collaboration features and stated “WeVideo is yet another demonstration of how EVERYTHING is changing due to cloud, even video editing”.
