  Beware. Don’t get this app!!!!

  Buyer beware! There aren’t enough bad words to express how I feel right now about this basic program. I downloaded the application to edit video of my grandson’s birthday party. After hours of work over 2 evenings, I discovered the app wouldn’t let me copy it to a disk, so I sent it to my iPhone. It sent me the first 30 seconds of my movie. A pop-up appeared saying I needed ot purchase the pro package. I think it was possibly because the movie is about 10 seconds longer than 5 minutes that it wouldn’t let me download it. I’m not sure because it took forever to download the 30 seconds that I got. I then tried downloadingng each part of the movie to my desktop or my movie file to save my work. Didn’t work. The program appears to make it so you can only use it on their application but not export it to a CD. I’m gathering that is, unless you purchase the pro pkg. I rarely write something bad because I want to give people or companies the benefit of the doubt. But this ended up being a TOTAL waste of my time and is designed to rip people off of their efforts unless you pay money, which this basic app wasn’t supposed to require.

  JOKE of an app. Borderline SCAM

  DO NOT get the app! The app only allows you to edit 5 minutes worth of video and they won’t tell you about it when you start editing your video because once you’ve spent hours editing the video and come to know about the time limit they think that you would just cough up the money because you don’t want to waste the HOURS you’ve spent making your video. I hate to break it to the developers of this app but that’s not how it works. If you had let me edit my video and use your product I would’ve bought it because I genuinely liked it. After this underhanded tactic not only did you lose a potential customer but you also ended up getting a 1 star review and a complaint logged against you with Microsoft. Good going fellas! Keep it up! I’m sure I’m not the only one that this has happened to. Absolutely pathetic. Believe in your own product and don’t rely on cheap tactics to get people to buy your products. You will only end up doing the opposite.

  Ruins audio

  The software on my computer doesn’t support IMovie, so I installed this instead. Editing the video clips and audio together was easy, of course, and I had no problems while editing. However, after exporting my video, I watched it back and the audio was ruined, as in it was playing at a lower pitch level. I went back and tried to see if any of the audio on my clips was somehow changed and everything was normal. I exported it but this time as a different file format and the saame thing happened. It can’t be user error if I had everything organized correctly. Something in the audio must have been corrupted during the export but I’m not going to go back and spend hours fixing something that should not be a problem to begin with. If it’s an error with the app itself, why would I check every aspect of it to fix it myself?

  Good for price

  The movie maker isn’t quite as easy as it could be, but overall I would give it an 8/10 for ease of use and 7/10 for self-explaination. The only reason it loses points on those two is that some of the functions are hard to use, like adjusting the amount of time/speed of each clip — you have to adjust each frame and it is hard to get it to the exact time you want. Also, halfway through it stopped importing media files so I had to restart the app, but then it worked. For a free app, it works great.
