This just came out today and there seems to be a lot of noise about the software. Have you bought and used it? What are your thoughts?

      I read the thread before I started this one. This is why I titled this thread "real reviews." As you stated, there is no significant information in it so what is the point in referring me back to it.

        Brett Rutecky has a review at his site that is informative. Sounds like it is a good product for the price - I purchased, but haven't had a chance to work with it yet.

          I haven't purchased yet but the emails I get saying it is the death of Camtasia is pretty far fetched. From what I can see Camtasia does much more more. Of course it costs a lot more also. Not sure if the latest versions of Camtasia does the green screen which looks pretty cool.

            Yes, it is not a replacement for Camtasia, but instead an economical choice for someone that doesn't need all that functionality. As long as the creator sticks with it, it probably has a chance to be a worthwhile alternative to Camtasia.

              I am most interested in finding out if the screen capture recording can do things like zoom in/out, and blur out parts of the screen. Does anyone know if this is possible?
              Thanks

              The simplest answer is usually the correct one.

                It doesn't do any of that.

                I can't even use it because it sends my computer processors into hyperdrive. I bet if I left it on for more then 10 minutes my computer will explode.

      Warrior JOE LOMBARDO gives a good review of it in "that thread" here :-

      http://www.warriorforum.com/internet...e-you-buy.html

      It is near the bottom of the thread.

      Myself have tried using it but Symantec keeps on objecting and quarantining an exe file that is created when the software runs. I can get around it and run it in an isolated virtual machine on my system (just in case) and it tends to hammer the cpu at lot when in use. Like Warrior JOE LOMBARDO mentions, I have also seen lock ups and freezing when in use.

      Am awaiting Vendors reply from support forum on the Symantec issue. It's the only software I have purchased so far that has triggered AV and Risk issues being flagged, so not a good start I have to say.

          Should we list out all the products you created that you said the same thing, and then abandoned the software?

          I can think of 2 at a minimum.

      thanks!
      I gave the software a good go and found it to be clunky, inflexible, and limited. Camtasia Studio, which I own and love, is far better; there is no comparison.

      I requested a refund and they delayed it with a response asking why, so I quickly replied with details why I don't like it.

      Here is what I wrote to them to explain why I wanted a refund:

      "Hi

      The product has great potential and I'm sure many users can and are making a good go of it, but it just isn't ready for prime time in my opinion. It is too much in the beta phase, especially for the price.

      Not being able to adjust intros or outros after completing them was problematic. A lack of controls over their coloring, apart from background was an issue for me. I found the lack of control in audio editing to be problematic. Not even seeing the name of the file I was working on was kind of weird. I didn't care for the design of most of the intros and outros which, of course, is a matter of taste and purely subjective,

      I did give the software a good spin before calling it a day. It is just too inflexible and incomplete to meet my needs.

      Also, I already have Camstasia Studio, Explaindio, and Powerpoint, so I found the software to be kind of redundant and superfluous to what I already have.

      I know the product creators are working hard in its development and lots of users will utilize it to their benefit. But, I just plain don't need or like it in its present manifestation. So, I'd appreciate it if you'd process the refunds.

      Thank you.

      Regards,
      Adam Fulford"

    Boy...this just shows you where the IM space is...some real big names are promoting this and I bet they have not took the time to test the software out. I read Joe Lombardo's account and I don't need the hassle. Soon as someone says there are security conflicts I am out.

      Yes I agree WEB ABC's ... it is a shame when big industry names are emailing away like crazy, promoting the latest thing in order to make an affiliate buck. It has got to the stage now that when I see a Sales Page with good old Todd Gross appearing in a video promotion .. I click off it!! - ha ha! Doesn't do reputations much good does it.

      All it does is make me unsubscribe from their lists and facebook groups.

      Was speaking with John Zakaria about this very thing earlier today ....

      I have emailed my list and warned them off the product until such time that stable release becomes available. I would never promote anything that I have not purchased and tested for myself first - I think that is the best way.

      Anyway - lets give the vendor time as they have been inundated since the release, so I would think they are working hard behind the scenes ... lets see.

        Yes I could not agree more- it is a shame what affiliate names appear on the list of those promoting this product without hesitation- my inclination to buy from these persons has decreased to almost ZERO by now!

    Hmmmm.........
    Seems like another software that got more hype than it deserves (in terms of features, etc). Thanks to everyone that provided some information/review. I Think I will pass on this one.

    Yes seems typical over the top hype and so annoying how even big name getting on board as affiliates to promo it clearly ONLY see dollar signs and don't genuinely test the product and clearly care about their own customers

    Seems there is in influx with an alarmingly ever increasingly more and more software, plugin launches etc of late (last 12 months especially to now) that the product has no end of issues, gets abandoned, and was all hype, smoke and mirrors and the scandalous practise growing of crazy priced OTO ...Just to get the real complete thing..to make it work most of the time...and they sleep at night?.

    As for Video motions pros affiliates all now saying stupid hype headlines The death of Camtasia ...they were told to include as subject line was right there the credibility for it out the window .....without even knowing about video motion pro it lost me...

    Na, I foresee issues with it and disappointment alot...I'll Give it a wide berth me thinks...and stick with good ol' Camtasia 8 and vegas pro 13 and powerpoint.....

    oh and have to laugh but also agree Todd Gross = Run!
    Appearing in soooo many promo launches now like a typical oily car sales man... I run...and close browser now....again not doing his er, 'so called reputation' I personally think..good....Hmmm

      Yup. Todd is the presenter in most of these launches. Personally, I think he and many other sellers have formed a syndicate, and they are going to milk this cash cow for every drop they can get out of it.

      But the reason these sellers are getting away with selling crappy products is because not enough buyers are refunding.

      It doesn't matter to these sellers if 10% refund, they still make a killing from the 90% that don't. And it's not even 10% that refund on average - a crappy product gets less refunds than that.

      And if you buy a product, you don't just get updates in your inbox, but promotions every day. So you are trapped, because you want to stay subscribed for the updates, but they're spamming you to death as well.

      Most of these sellers are just self-serving assholes.

      Kind of sad the way things are now.

        This annoys me too! I want to stay subscribed in case they have an update that I need to know about, but I don't want all the emails they send!

          Yes, indeed. It should be standard practice to click "Just receive notice of updates," with the option of clicking, "Get glorified hype for shoddy products (aka SPAM)" or however they want to phrase it.

      Hey guys, Josh Ratta here creator of Video Motion Pro. We are doing our best to get through all the support tickets, hiring lots of new support assistants... Please note this is one of the biggest laucnhes ever on JVzoo and we are just having to do our best to keep up with all the thousands of new customers requests and queries etc!

      This isn't a camtasia comparison software as some people are trying to make out... We created seperate from camtasia and the price of our software is over $230 cheaer than camtasia... Camtasia is a fantastic software by the way, and we make no claim to be better or compare it to camtasia in anyway. We never made any remarks about camtasia on the sales page, sales video, jv page or anything like that... This is what some affiliates have used in their email campaigns which is not what we intended at all, just so you know...

      We do understand that if you had trouble trying to install or access the software it can be FRUSTRATING... I know when you purchase something you want to be able to use it right away, I feel exactly the same!! But we had a slight technical problem with our licensing system due to people registering first for the OTO1 and not for the base software... But we are setting them all up today!

      Also some people with antivirous software, the software automatically extracts out some of the main files needed to use the software. so best thing to do is disable the anitvirus during download and install as the software is completely virus free, but as it is a new software antivirus protection dont recognise it and so consider it a potential threat...

      We also are continually developing the software adding free updates etc, and new features over the coming days, weeks and months! We have 5 full time programmers working on it. So rest assured we are doing our best and since we have already spent over $70,000 on development you can tell this is not just a software we are launching and then forgetting about... This is our main project and will continue providing updates and making it the best video editing and creation software for entrepreneurs on the market!

      Best regards,

          also ... how is 1080p rendering not available? this makes zero sense.
          The upgrade 1 hasn't even been released yet, as it was said on the upgrade 1 video we are releasing it on Monday, and so that's why you haven't received it yet. As you purchased this week you save 40% of our release price on Monday...

          The 1080p is already in the works and will be added shortly, we are also adding in 5k rendering for the new iMacs...

          There's no need to be rude, we are doing our best it is a massive project we have been working on for 9 months and have spent over $70k on development and are continually making upgrades with our team of 5 full-time programmers...

    What bothers me is, certain products are marketed in a way that puts them in a "special" category -- and that category is: "You OBVIOUSLY need to buy this. Everybody needs to. It just goes without saying, basically."

    NOT buying it, "just wouldn't be right, somehow."

    Once they can push a product into THAT category, everyone just buys it, without looking closely or questioning anything.

    And "they" are getting better and better at knowing how to PUT any given product into that "OBVIOUS NO-BRAINER" category.

    The PREDICTABLE unfortunate downside is, at a certain point, WSO junkies (like me?) simply cannot keep up (our bank accounts will not allow it!).

    It so happens THIS product has been put into that "golden" category...
    Whether it DESERVES to be there, or not.

      Hi Timothy,

      I agree with you in thats sense, that often things get hyped up a lot...

      This however as I've written is a software we have invested $70k in as well as over 9 months developing and working on, so as with any business, if you have a product you believe is awesome, you've worked super hard on, you need to obviously have good marketing material to sell it, if your marketing material isn't good then you won't make many sales...

      It's what all companies do as you will know... But at the end of the day the decision to buy a product or not is completely up to the consumer, we don't force people to buy and no one is obligated to buy our products...

      Best regards,

      Josh

        My two-penneth ...

        Have also requested a refund ...

        If the product has been in development for 9 months, then I would have thought that there would have been very little issues upon release - which hasn't been the case unfortunately.

        Still needs work, but having given it a good go for the last few days, it isn't for me. I will stick with Camtasia.

        I wish the vendor good luck with the product, and hopefully will receive my refund promptly and without fuss as stated by the guarantee on the products sales page.

      I've been trying to get a refund for several weeks. There was one response from the 'friendly support team' and nothing since.
      I haven't seen any emails on upgrades for a long time. It seems to me that VideoMotionPro has some real trouble.

    Hey Guys,

    I am the lead developer and co-creator of VideoMotionPro and I would like to clarify few things.

    First of all we do not intend to kill Camtasia. That would be a terrible goal to have.

    Our goal is to let user's create fun and professional videos with the easiest way possible.

    Of course you may not find all the features you are looking for but we never promised them either. We are not trying to trick anyone here. We have a demo video showing what it can do. Maybe we can make it even clearer on our demo video so you know what to expect.

    Also our goal is to keep the interface as simple as we could and for that we even had to sacrifice few features. We still believe that VMP is powerful. It could be our bias or it could be subjective. But the animations you can add to your video no other software can do that with such ease. We have made our green screen to work with minimum clicks required.

    Also we are just 8-9 months old. We plan to make this the best tool that is there in the marketplace and we have crazy updates planned. Which we would be rolling in every now and then.

    So I hope you understand what we are trying to do here and probably very soon you may see even better features than what you mentioned here.

    And to those who are having trouble not being able to use what we promised that is for example my webcam recording is not working or my software is crashing etc. This is what I call genuine issues. And we are working all day long at our support center to solve these issues for anyone having this.

    In matter of 2 days into launch we quickly developed a logging system which logs all the failures of the app and this log will help us find out why X feature had a issue and it has helped us solve many problems quickly. We released 2 updates so far since the launch and we will be releasing stability updates every few days.

    Not to mention we have already notified all our customers about the features which they will get for free in near future. These are the most user requested features like being able to record selected part of the screen etc.

    Having said that, we are trying our best to make this tool the best and while many may think that we are far from reaching to that point we believe its approaching very soon.

    Also, I would be happy to share my Skype ID (ask me via PM) and personally solve issues you are having being a lead developer of this software just for all WarriorForum members.

    Warriorforum is a special site for me. I started my business here which led me to develop this software. And I will take all measures to take care of fellow warriors.

    If you have any questions, hit me up!

    PS: While we do not want to kill our competition, we would appreciate a price comparison if you are planning to compare features with those software.

    So the newer, updated version is not much better then the 1st version?
    Still not that great?

    More opinions on the newer version?

    That stinks, I was impressed with the product at a glance but I see it's not something I'm going to be using sadly :-(

      What would have been a good idea is if they had done a few less bells and whistles but made a solid, simple software for those who find Camtasia expensive. SO many people want to just be able to make screenshot and video cam vids that there must be a massive market for that.

      I wish I'd searched for this thread before spending so many hours trying to get the clunky things to work, which it just doesn't. As said by others, antivirus software does not like it one bit, plus my computer overheats.

      Having said that, is there by any chance a GOOD video making software out there that anyone knows about that is cheaper than Camtasia??
