VideoSummary for Mac1.4.3

This is very useful for previewing or reviewing the contents of a video file. A great way to refresh one's memory about an editing project's contents.

I refuse to give money for any license that is crippled specifically for the promotion. I think this was a rather large error in judgment by the developers. Next!

Can't wait to use this on club trip videos. I think the developers should revamp the license restriction somewhat, however. Transferrability when I upgrade my machine should be a no-brainer. Thanks

Useful tool. I’m seriously contemplating to go for it.

I've voted for this application to be on the MUPromo but i wasn't expecting the license to be this limited. So, it could have been useful but no, thanks!

I dunno, I hope more of these promos don't start to give restrictive licenses just because they're on the cheap...

This software sounds very useful. But the one machine (forever?) restriction and the lack of upgrades is... a big negative. Then again, I can blow $8 at Starbucks easily with my wife - especially here in Japan.

That license stinks. No thanks!

I wish I had owned VideoSummary last month when I made a 45-minute movie on iMovie 06 of a sailboat trip we made on the Columbia River this summer. I had several long clips taken from cliffs and marshes, and it took forever to scrub through them to find the scenes I wanted to put in the movie. With VideoSummary I could have saved a lot of time by seeing a summary of my clips -- now THAT's useful!

Sounds good but not sure about the license.

"A video clip captured by iMovie ... can also be a source of this software." -- sorry for being dense here, but does that mean that it cannot be used with an iMovie project itself? Thanks!

I just downloaded it and it worked very well. It looks like a keeper.

At $7.99 this isn't bad but if it is restricted so that I couldn't use it on a new machine like I'm considering, then forget it. I'm guessing I could probably learn applescript easy enough to do the same thing.

@MacUpdate: I won a license! Thank You!

@multimage: this is really bad. But we know it.. so everybody feel free to buy or not

@theKryz: I saw it, but if it's working, why need I an update?

The creators homepage reads: "You can buy it in $7.99 USD only on Oct. 5th. *This is a special version of the promotion without free version-up."

Not bad for almost half-off. I'm going to try it.

Not a bad price. I can skip a coffee for this.

When you have lots and lots of footage you will appreciate this.

I've already bought this tool, very useful and easy to use. Note: the license is for "one machine", if you change your mac you can't use the prevision license.

Useful for creating thumbnails like those seen at archive.org (a great place to get free public domain movies). Think I'll give this is a try!

Simple enough... can easily do it manually with a little cut and paste, but for $8 it's not worth my time to do it manually.

What does this do that iMovie's new skimming feature doesn't take care of?

This might be of use for my vob files

useful for making good dvd covers.

i've been looking for something like this that works on the mac. i'll give this app a try.

This could be very useful in a research setting. We accumulate 100's of GBs of video data from various experiments but can't access it easily while on-the-go (laptops) or exchange with collaborators. This would allow us to keep on hand and send out image "summaries" of the best results.

handy app; tested out during beta, so i'll try it again before buying it.

I like apps that do one thing and do it well.

Kinda like a thumbnail image I guess, useful for putting on DVD covers maybe of those home movies.

handy to created printed catalogs of video files

download and used it to share images on a forum. It was pretty easy to use. It exported the image as a .tiff but I just ended up converting it into a lower resolution jpeg through photoshop.

Excellent utility. I used it to convert a movie into images which I need for an OpenGL computer game. This is the only program that could do it (out of 10 I tried) and is understandable. It is fast too. The editing of the movie is great (shift key to select a portion of the movie). The only disadvantage is probably that it makes one big image instead of several smaller. As it turned out this was actually an advantage because now I could add an alpha chanel and color adjustments in one go. Problem is the pricing, but it seems to work fine even if you haven't paid.
