UI Designed by 8yo?
daris3July 22, 2012
Pros
It was free.
Cons
It was free! Otherwise I would be stopping payment ASAP! The UI is out of the 80's. I don't think the designer(s) have ever used a REAL program. It's supposed to have killer functions......but ....some things just aren't worth it. I even tried the other version. Worse. And I didn't think that was possible. And I started programming in 1982. Also taught programming for 6 years. None of my advanced students would have dared turn in work like this! My grade: D- (and that's only because it loaded and seems to run)
Summary
If you want it free, keep looking. 50% of my software is freeware, so good stuff is out there.
Horrible user interface
bertfwDecember 7, 2010
Pros
Seems like it might have some very good features
Cons
The user interface is one of the worst I've ever seen.
Summary
If you follow their tutorials you can find out how to do certain things, but if you think you're going to just figure it out yourself forget it. You'll probably need to invest a lot of time learning the basics of this application; with that same investment you could probably leverage a lot more usability out of a commercial package. It's really too bad because this application looks like it has some great functionality, if they would just spend a little time learning about how to design a UI.
Someone's College Experiment Gone HORRIBLY Wrong!!!

Pros
These people are getting better BUT......
Cons
I've been down this road before with other software from them. Yet, just when you think they've actually improved their product, they show they've STILL got A LOT to learn about software programming.
Summary
Unless you know a little something about software programming & software code, THIS IS NOT WORTH THE DOWNLOAD!!!!!

Pros
1) The price, it's free. 2) Features. This program has some incredibly powerful features for a free video editor. It's features are comparable to that of Final Cut.
Cons
1) The interface. It's terrible. No, that's giving it too much credit. It's got to be the ugliest, slowest, most error ridden and confusing interface EVER! 2) The learning curve. It's HARD to use. 3) It's VERY slow. 5 minute clip renders take hours
Summary
If t&b could just fix the interface... then they might be taken seriously... I honestly best there are some features of the program that are not even possible to use because they forgot to put them into the interface... and even if they are, I bet most people will get too frustrated at the POS interface before they figure out how to use whatever feature they are looking for. It's not for the faint of heart... for a lot of people, it's worthless, because it is not worth the inconvenience. It's terribly cumbersome, but this thing has the best features out of ANY free editor. (I would not have bothered writing this if that were not so) If you can pay the $$$$ for something like Final Cut, do it. If you want something like windows movie maker with some extra features... you will not get much out of it. But if you need the same features as something like Final Cut and can't pay thousands of dollars for it, this is the closest thing you can find. (If I'm wrong, please correct me... really, I'd love see something better.)
It Doesn't Work
Andyman99999January 4, 2009
Pros
It's a free program.
Cons
It doesn't work at all. It won't open anything up and all it does is take up a little bit of memory.
Summary
I didn't like it because it didn't work.
