Movie Edit Pro - Video Editor for Pc

This app is horrific. I’ve been an avid user of iMovie but wanted to try something else and after reading the reviews I thought this app would be a good fit. I typically make my own movies from trips I take, family events, etc. all ranging from 1-10 minutes long. I use my GoPro, and then add music in the background, transitions, etc. This app I thought would be a good fit for that except I find myself not being able to even TRIM a clip without having to “lock it” into place, which is just a stupid concept becuase then what if I decide I want it in a different spot? Then I have to unlock it and face this next issue…When you use the “Split” option and trim the video to where you want it, when you go to drag the actual clip to its place, it stretches it back to its original format - so the time you took to trim the clip to exactly how you want it, is back to square one. Its an annoying and frustrating process! The aboslute worst part about this app is that it lags HORRIBLY. I havent been able to get through a minute of footage because it doesnt keep up. It is so slow playing back, jumps, lags and completely stops. It is a shame because it is a very oranized, well put together app from the outside, but all of these interanal issues have made it a complete waste of my time and money. What should have taken me maybe an hour to complete for a 1 minute video, I havent even been able to finish, and won’t. Going back to iMovie.

By looking through the features of this app, I found it will very useful. However, the documentation is very skimpy. It’s like getting a 3-page manual for your new car. You can start the car, but you have to guess how everything else works. The users aren’t mind readers and shouldn’t have to guess how things work. Why should I have to spend extra time guessing when it should be documented. For example, I wanted to have a text box with the title of the presentation and presenter’s name dissolve after a period of time. When I selected dissolve, the shape of the box changed and reformated the text. Huh? Because there is only a very brief instruction about effects for text boxes, I have no idea why that affect changed everything. A text box is a text box. How I format and place the text box should not be affected by the animation affect I select. Because there is no explanation why this affect is acting this way, I am stuck with static affect! I am becoming very frustrated by having to guess what the features of this app do. I will start looking for another app. I upgraded from the lite version to get away from the watermark on the finished product and hoping for complete documentation. The watermark went away but no additional documentation.

I’m not an avid video-maker, so I think this program is pretty sweet and easy to use! Are there limited options? Maybe, but if there were too many it would take to long to create my video! I made a 12 minute “slide show” with pictures, videoes, text, clipped internet images, music and used layered pictures as backgrounds. I was able to edit pictures & videos (crop, zoom, flip, etc.) as well as split music pieces. ALL very easy to do! I do have a PC and I tried finding an affordable & easy to use program with this many features, but this app beat them all! One thing I couldn’t do, either because I was too lazy to look it up or these features are not a part of the app, but I would have like to be able to slide a pic/video into an earlier portion of the time line without having to manually move all of the following items! It would be good to have an insert option & all of the following would adjust according to the insert. However, I would Definitely recommend!

This product works like a charm. I’ve made several videos so far and it is incredibly easy to use. I can’t really think of anything I would want to do with it that I can’t. My one complaint is that it is difficult to shorten audio files to match the length of video. If you import in an audio file and want to shorten the tail end of it to match the length of video then you may have difficulty getting the mouse cursor to change to the slider tool. I don’t know much about programming, but if they could make the area over which one could hover to shorten the length of audio files a bit larger so it is easy to “grab” then that would be a great help. Easy to lengthen/shorten screen shots, but somehow it is more difficult to “grab” the ends of audio files. Anyway, a small complaint about an otherwise great application!
