Installation:
The installation takes some time, but online registration is quick equip without personal data having to specify. I had no problems installing the program on Windows 7 and 8.1, everything went smoothly.
Screen Layout
The structure is almost always similar in the video programs. There is a preview monitor to load a box around the video, image, and sound files. The previews for files are quite manageable.
At the bottom are the timelines. Here you can add photos, videos cut, extract sound or insert background music. You can add overlays and special effects. Here the play instinct are no limits.
Crashes I had been to complain no. Neither under W7 even under W8.1.
Cutting individual scenes is extremely easy to handle. With my old program that was a horror.
There are a number of effects to edit. Video, motion, sound effects, design elements and various additional effects with which you can do pretty much and that are inserted by drag and drop.
There is also the possibility of screen capturing, ie everything moves on the screen is recorded. This is interesting, for example, if you turn 3D models or an operation on the screen in the video wil hold to these to use as a teaching video or share on YouTube.
You can not import protected DVDs and edit or process the video data.
Multicam editing function: Here, you can divide the screen into several sections and run a private video in each section. Is also used in Hollywood movies often.
You can also synchronize video objects based on the sound track.
Professional audio editing is possible as well, such as to create or to process images with GPS data an animated itinerary on Geotracking.
There are countless other possibilities that would list them all is beyond the scope here.
Before burning, you can still create a code-menu, where you can define individual chapters as additional start points. For Vorwahlmenu there are a lot of pictures, but you can also use screenshots. You can then select in the final video, if you want to see the whole movie or a chapter on the remote control.
Of course, the rendering time before the final video can be burned to DVD, is also dependent on the speed of the computer. I work with a high quality notebook, here required the program to burn for a 1.5 hour film about 3.5 hours. That's ok, but the quality can also absolutely top. Also possible are burning to a BlueRay, or as an image.
It should be said, of course, takes a certain amount of such a program of training time. But who together cut his holiday or leisure videos to a movie like it wants to continue to have fun and also still wants austatten with professional effects, for the effort is worthwhile definitely.
Overall, the work with the program is a joy. In my case I had no crashes, therefore deserved 4 stars.
A star deduction there for it, I can activate the program only once and not 2x, as is self-evident nowadays. I need it on my desktop and on my laptop because I'm traveling often. When questioned me a second license for 6,99 was offered. This is definitely not acceptable to me. Too bad, because it is otherwise a top program.
