Review by Jim Bernheimer

The installation on my Windows 7 system took a little over 5 minutes. The registration process initially failed, but then completed on the second attempt with no change in the registration key.

Upon launching, it detected my Logitech 920 web camera and I was able to capture a quick one minute movie of my hand moving my usb microphone back and forth. The program locked up on me and I was forced to cancel it and relaunch. The brief short was rendered when the program came back up. I was able to record some audio and incorporate it.

I didn’t see any preloaded content (backgrounds, audio, and music). Clearly, you can browse to your own and copy it into the desired location. Also, you can add titles and end credits easily.

All things considered, the interface is easy to use and fairly straightforward. My oldest daughter (age 12) will probably enjoy using it to create animated adventures of her Monster High dolls It might be a bit difficult for my youngest at age 5, but it seems like a project that I could help her with.
