Publisher's description of Visual Communicator
Visual Communicator enables anyone to easily create video presentations in minutes. Unlike other video creation tools, Visual Communicator doesn't require special equipment or training to use. It works at a desk with any webcam or camcorder and is based on a simple wizard with dozens of templates that completely eliminate time-consuming video editing. With news-style graphics, a built-in teleprompter, and green screen effects for background replacement, users create video projects that look as if they were made inside a network television studio. When videos are completed, they can quickly be published to share via websites, email, and CDs/DVDs. Version 2 introduces flexible recording and real-time editing to enhance the ease of the video creation process.

Version: Visual Communicator 2
"It WAS good, but now it's Adobe."
Pros: I used this version for a few years. It works well, does what it claims, and is esy to use. The resulting videos are smooth and look great.The software USED to be relatively cheap at $189 and you USED to get support from Serious Magic.
Cons: It's way over priced now -- Adobe bought Serious Magic and now owns Visual Communicator. Now it's $399, i.e., more than twice as expensive, and from their web page, has essentially the same capability. As Adobe usually does, it adds a few small features, fixes a couple of bugs, and then offers an "upgrade" for $149. So if you paid $189 for version 2, you can "upgrade" for only $149. And you get the usual additional bugs and poor support tossed in for free! Welcome to Adobe. For $400 you'd be better off getting a full video editing suite to get more control and variety in your videos.

"A Broadcast Studio in a box!"
Pros: A very nice approach to movie making. Never had thought of that! Takes a little time to understand. Serious Magic explans it well! I really think you should give a go. I'm Buying it!

Version: Visual Communicator 2
"once the basics are sussed the rest is genius"
Pros: a new approach, hard to handle at first but it really works. Havent registered yet and these are my first thoughts. Registration seems to have a big bag to offer.
Cons: not easy to get used to at first but the world was once flat

Version: Visual Communicator 2
"Don't bother downloading...you can't install it."
Pros: I have no idea because Adobe won't give you an install key.
Cons: Adobe isn't doing trial downloads right now.
Summary: As the previous reviewer noted, you can not install this trial. It asks for an install key which takes you to Adobe and they don't give you a key. After July 6, 2009 they will supposedly offer trial downloads directly from Adobe again, but right now... read more >>
