Software Reviews and Criticism

  Dont waste your money

  This app is horrific. I’ve been an avid user of iMovie but wanted to try something else and after reading the reviews I thought this app would be a good fit. I typically make my own movies from trips I take, family events, etc. all ranging from 1-10 minutes long. I use my GoPro, and then add music in the background, transitions, etc. This app I thought would be a good fit for that except I find myself not being able to even TRIM a clip without having to “lock it” into place, which is just a stupid concept becuase then what if I decide I want it in a different spot? Then I have to unlock it and face this next issue…When you use the “Split” option and trim the video to where you want it, when you go to drag the actual clip to its place, it stretches it back to its original format - so the time you took to trim the clip to exactly how you want it, is back to square one. Its an annoying and frustrating process! The aboslute worst part about this app is that it lags HORRIBLY. I havent been able to get through a minute of footage because it doesnt keep up. It is so slow playing back, jumps, lags and completely stops. It is a shame because it is a very oranized, well put together app from the outside, but all of these interanal issues have made it a complete waste of my time and money. What should have taken me maybe an hour to complete for a 1 minute video, I havent even been able to finish, and won’t. Going back to iMovie.

  Where’s the documentation?

  By looking through the features of this app, I found it will very useful. However, the documentation is very skimpy. It’s like getting a 3-page manual for your new car. You can start the car, but you have to guess how everything else works. The users aren’t mind readers and shouldn’t have to guess how things work. Why should I have to spend extra time guessing when it should be documented. For example, I wanted to have a text box with the title of the presentation and presenter’s name dissolve after a period of time. When I selected dissolve, the shape of the box changed and reformated the text. Huh? Because there is only a very brief instruction about effects for text boxes, I have no idea why that affect changed everything. A text box is a text box. How I format and place the text box should not be affected by the animation affect I select. Because there is no explanation why this affect is acting this way, I am stuck with static affect! I am becoming very frustrated by having to guess what the features of this app do. I will start looking for another app. I upgraded from the lite version to get away from the watermark on the finished product and hoping for complete documentation. The watermark went away but no additional documentation.

  EASY to Use! Fun to create!

  I’m not an avid video-maker, so I think this program is pretty sweet and easy to use! Are there limited options? Maybe, but if there were too many it would take to long to create my video! I made a 12 minute “slide show” with pictures, videoes, text, clipped internet images, music and used layered pictures as backgrounds. I was able to edit pictures & videos (crop, zoom, flip, etc.) as well as split music pieces. ALL very easy to do! I do have a PC and I tried finding an affordable & easy to use program with this many features, but this app beat them all! One thing I couldn’t do, either because I was too lazy to look it up or these features are not a part of the app, but I would have like to be able to slide a pic/video into an earlier portion of the time line without having to manually move all of the following items! It would be good to have an insert option & all of the following would adjust according to the insert. However, I would Definitely recommend!

  Very sketchy practices in work here.

  Upon downloading, it wasn't at all clear that this was not a free app. Nothing said that this was a paid app until after I had finished editing a video for my college homework assignment. Upon trying to export a video, it will tell you to pay or else your video will be stamped with a watermark. No biggie, right? I decided to skip this and render the video. Upon opening the file to assess the damage... I found that there was a huge, red watermark in the middle of the screen. Now, this wasn't just some "Unregistered Hypercam 3" style of mark. This watermark was larger than the title I had placed at the start of the video (which, by the way, this watermark covers up.) It is present throughout the entire video, mind you. Not only is this very unfriendly to the user, it is also a very malicious business practice. By waiting until after you edit a video to prompt you to pay up, you feel pressured to give in. Who would want to lose all of their hard work, especially if this is their first video, or something important like a homework assignment? This is absolutely disgusting, and I hope that the developers of this software consider revising this in the future. Until then, I advise that nobody download this app.
