This is a pretty good app, but only if you pay. I deffinitly think that if you want something free but still good don’t get it. The free version is a waste of time, mostly becuase the watermark is red and awful and covers most of the video after you export it. But, once I paid, the water mark is gone and the quality is good. If you think 20 dollars is a waste of money DO NOT GET THIS APP!One reason why I chose this app in the first place was because it worked with my old 2010 Mac, and it was free. So now the free part is gone and there is only the fact that it works for this computer, There are probably quite a few other options that you have to pay but are cheaper… So use your judgement. All that being said, I have only been using the paid version for a day, so I’m not sure if other problems will come up.

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.

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.

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!
