  "Total Rubbish!"

  by Mikewerk on November 5, 2009

  Pros: Free is not a "Pro"

  Cons: There's nothing this junky dysfunctional program does that more advanced free programs don't. It's buggy, crashes and comes with limited tools. It also has too many codec compatibility issues to be practical for even the most basic home user.

  Summary: Save your time and find something else. Even shell out some money for a better program. There are many available for under $50.00. Think of it as a night out to dinner. The only difference, your dinner ends up flushed down the john after a few hours,... read more

  "Nice, but crashes frequently"

  by Mad_Dave on November 4, 2009

  Pros: Does simple titles, audio & video editting seems synchronized, and easy to use. Also nice for creating slide-show type movies from pictures.

  Cons: Save often! Has a VERY BAD tendency to crash, losing all work since last save.

  Summary: If the thing didn't crash so often, it would be a nice piece of software to use. It really does crash often - especially with larger projects (many clips/titles/etc). You are sometimes best off creating a movie by adding a clip to the end, saving it,... read more

  "Glitchy but Capable and Fun"

  by Boogaloo on November 4, 2009

  Pros: For home use, it has a respectable set of photo, video and music edit/transition features. One can make very entertaining photo/video shows timed to music (WAV is BEST) to include video and music audio blends.

  Cons: The program needs time to process your edits. If you get 'ahead' of it the program will FREEZE. It's best used on projects less than 10-minutes. Auto-Movie has a glitch with a work-around. SAVE after EACH major edit.

  Summary: It's not professional, yet it really can make some fun projects with appealing affects. It will earn the monker "Mr. Freeze", but if you go slow and give the program a chance to digest your edits, this will minimize. If you try to edit too quickly, ... read more
