In a word . Terrible . I tried different export formats . They ranged in size . I made an export with two movies and an opening , closing credit 10 sec. ea. and a divider 10sec. the total MB of the two movies was 11 MB ... the exports ranged from
50 MB on AAC h.264 ( low quality )
132MB on AAC Mpeg 4 Video
86 MB AAC H.264 (Best Quality)
The exported video was darker .. fair amount . And it was blurred . I was doing it on a stock chart demo and the words and charting was such I would not use it and for something like this it does not have to be crystal clear in HD .
If I had not gotten this in a bundle I would be screaming ... to their credit they give you a 30 day trail . I WOULD NOT BUY IT ! It's pretty easy to use . Simple intro and credit screens . But the finished product is not good . It is no way worth 50 bucks . I would not pay $5 for it because it will not perform . THe developer has to know there is quality issue with the export .
Failure .

Something else . :

Dear Sir :
Thank you for the response .
I figured out that you have to use the font adjustment embedded in the program and not through the
OSX - hi light text - right mouse click -fonts . That is what I used and it would not take .

On to another problem .
The export of a video is degraded by 30 to 50% in clarity from the original .
Also it is much darker than the original .
Is there a planned update to fix these problems ?
It is not subtle . So I must assume that it is know .
Also the files produced on exporting are big .
I played around with it and the original vids combined were 11mg.
The exports were any where from 56 to 120 MG .
They also took about 20 min. to complete .
Is this to be expected to remain as how the program will render the exports ?

Thank you
Duncan Adams

Response :

Dear Duncan,

Many thanks for your efforts.

As for the quanlity of the exported video, you can choose the best resolution 1920 x 1080 for the best quanlity.

Also, we'll update the product occasionally to optimize it.

Thanks for your support and wish you a nice weekend!

They know it's bad . The Resolution setting is not the answer . I used it .
Just kind of an unspoken - oh well that's the way it is .. maybe later .
More Failure .

Spell Catcher X

This program has helped me greatly over the years ... the problem is that about every other new build is buggy .. at least for me . If you by it on deal this round ... great ... but ask for an older version ... it will work better . I had to go back to one . Every time I update I cross my fingers .

iClip

Duncan Adams reviewed on 03 Nov 2011

I had to write a review here . Did one on the Apple App store too. This thing is the best I have used . EASY to interface with . I have bought a couple of others ... don't use them not handy enough . THis is just cherry . If you are thinking of getting it DO it at 10 bucks it worth 2 to 3 time yes as good as it works I would pay 30 and yes if i owned it I might try to get 30 .. depending on the volume of sales ... it;s worth 20 with out blinking an eye . It's on sale at the App Store for 10 GET IT . Thanks for resurrecting this I hope you make 100 k on it . Duncan

Dear God man I know you want to make money but this is out of sight . The question begs . What is the data feed for the program . If you are getting NYSE and CME feeds ok you have to pass on the cost . Ok reading the home page ... have to take some of it back . You are getting exchange feed not just hooking into google and this is for the apple program too so that may be a benefit to some . Of course Thinkorswim is out there and you can get this too for free ... but .. I can that if you are outside of the United States this could be a benefit

Stay

Duncan Adams reviewed on 26 Sep 2011

I bought it . It is great . I have a program THNKORSWIM with multiple windows set up . It does not always repopulate on the monitors in the same configuration that it is shut down in . Could not solve the problem ... well STAY did ... works great .
Thanks .

After some experimenting on both and tweeking on the THINKORSWIM program . I have gotten it to work . STAY does what it says it will . The developer contacted me a couple of times trying to help me with the problem so he is attentive . It save me a lot of time and aggravation . Good purchase .

Diagrammix

The instructions are fair to poor . Depending on the category .
Good on some .
In the alignment instruction you are not told that the items have to be selected / highlighted first .

Adding bend to connector was pathetic . I finally figured it out .
In this section why is the ALT key referred to ? On Macintosh has OPTION key .

If I taught firearms instruction the way this is presented I would have people shooting themselves in the foot .

In my mind and experience this is not intuitive .
Maybe I'm slow or could it be that the thinking process of the Brits is just different than Americans ?
Or is it the Russians ... all the team names are Russian but there is a fish on the Tutorial page with a Union Jack for a background .

In any event I think I will buy it ... it is simple in design and appearance and the big saving grace is it's only $15 bucks ... if it had been $30 with the poor instructions it would be a " no go "
Thanks

Screen Mimic

Duncan Adams commented on 02 Feb 2010

Was hyped up to get a screen capture that exported in Flash . . Tried the demo .. Screen Mimic WILL NOT CAPTURE THE SYSTEM SOUND .
I tried it in all tree formats and yes I did have the capture during recording sound button checked ... very dissapointing.
