PFITZPA1 Got this as part of the mupromo package and today was the first chance I had to really give it a go. I was making a short video for my daughters project. The User interface feels fairly well designed though some of the things like changing text color and background seemed a bit hard to find at first. The concept seems quite good but I had a lot of trouble getting transitions to work correctly (or even at all). For example I couldn't get a transition to fade to black to work at the end of a clip. I had to resort to an animated filter which was a lot trickier to get working than I expected. The program crashed several times and I lost a fair chunk of work each time. Filters were very difficult for me. Sometimes I would add a filter but find it very hard to to find the filter in the track again. The node view showed nothing. Transition choices were very limited. I also had trouble adding transitions when there was a gap between clips, it seems like you have to make the clips overlap before you can add a transition. I think this software has great potential overall but the crashing and quirkiness was a killer for me. I ended up resorting to iMovie and had the project done in no time (though I could not find a way to selectively control track volume at specific times in a clip, which Norrkross seemed to do quite well). I'll try it again when an update comes out and I have another project to do. (Version 1.2.2) |
