Visual Communicator for Windows

• Don't bother downloading...you can't install it.

  Ankh72June 2, 2009

  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 they won't.

• Out of date- can't install w/o key

  awilkesOctober 15, 2008

  Pros

  i bet there a lot of good things this program used to do, but no one will be able to install it.

  Cons

  When installing itrequested an install key and the link in the installer to get one went to Adobe. Obviously Adobe has bought out this company, and nothing has been changed to accommodate for this.

  Summary

  Don't waste your time downloading, bc you cannot install this software without installation key that you cannot obtain through the software.

• It WAS good, but now it's Adobe.

  mweweSeptember 25, 2007

  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.

  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!

• once the basics are sussed the rest is genius

  codeweaverOctober 12, 2005

  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

• No brainer

  xoxoxoMarch 22, 2005

  Pros

  I am a college student and needed a program to combine a couple of .avi files I took with my digital camera. Without reading instructions, it took some time to play around and figure it out but once I did, it is VERY easy and fun! It has many transitions, sounds and other things. Worth the download and price! I can't wait to share it with the class.

  Cons

  When I try to publish the file...my laptop shuts off. I guess it's either the program or my laptop. It works better on the computer though.

• This thing really works!

  October 4, 2004

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  I'm no video pro but I've tried using a lot of different video editing programs. Visual Communicator is the first that lets me make videos that look really pro and it's very fast to use. Believe the reviews above, this thing really is different and definitely worth a look. Installing the demo download was easy. Making my first video took about five minutes (yep, minutes not hours). It's great that there's no waiting for rendering. So far I've made some personal videos but my best one is a quick training video I did for work. My boss was really excited when she saw the video and I was able to get immediate approval to buy Visual Communicator without going through the normal purchasing hassle. A first! I think users of all experience levels will enjoy this software. Especially if you have been frustrated sometimes by other video programs. Next week we'll be using it to create our own product introduction video for our website. Our last product intro vid cost us $2200 from a TV company and didn't look as good as what we can do ourselves with Visual Communicator.

• Easiest way I've seen to produce video for communications!

  September 3, 2004

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  Visual Communicator allows me to produce exceptionally professional looking corporate communications in a matter of minutes. The "VScreen" functionality is amazing! Just like the movie studios do with greenscreens. Now no one will know how much of a mess my office really is! Replacing much of the out-sourced video production with this inexpensive product should make it a "no-brainer". And if schools aren't all over this for things like distance learning on the teaching side and student projects like book reports and such - I think they're missing the boat. This is the future of how inexpensive communication is going to be achieved. I certainly can't imagine how it could get much easier or more intuitive!
