Review by Fred Woodbridge

The sheer number of options available can be overwhelming but stay tuned, it gets better. After a straightforward installation and some time spent updating the software, you’re presented with an intuitive interface. There are a good number of resources for help in using it, starting with a free 30-day installation support with registration. The manual is a bit light and would have benefited from a competent technical writer.

It wasn’t difficult to jump in and start modifying and editing clips, most of it is just drag and drop. Cutting is easy, moving samples around is also very easy. There are a huge number of transitions, effects and ask that will either make your movie great our very kitschy. Less is more. All of this happens with almost instant and continuous rendering so you can get a hint at the eventual product.

The usual capabilities exist: adding audio, recording voiceovers and so on. In spite of this, the software isn’t that cumbersome on system resources. Importing and exporting is straightforward as well. This is a solid performer that does all the basics any amateur would be satisfied with. Four stars.
