Videator CommentaryCan't find my iSight - Version: 3.1, 3/15/2007 05:07AM PST

David Zizza
I am using an AlchemyTV DVR card in my G5 and when I open Videator, it can't find my iSight. Most programs of this type like iMovie allow you to choose the source for your video and sound input. So while I would like to try it out, I can't.

Videator CommentaryCan anyone differentiate Videator from iMovie and FotoMagico? - Version: 2.2, 11/3/2006 02:49PM PST

levinedr
I have limited experience with making videos or combining stills + video but will need to soon for a project I have undertaken. If there is someone with experience with these types of programs who can help me understand why you would use Videator or FotoMagico over iMovie and why V versus FM? Is it ease of use? the number of effects? stability issues? Thanks for any advice

Videator ReviewProfessional Effects, Beginner Easy, Low Price - Version: 1.02, 6/5/2006 05:39PM PST

For a first release, this software is most excellent. The interface is clean and intuitive. The feature set is very creative. If past behavior on other products are any indication, support will be excellent.

The number of its effects make you think of professional software with professional (that is expensive) pricing. But the price is very reasonable.

You can combine effects to make your own custom ones. And preset "instant effects" have multiple selections similar in use to those of iphoto.

Working with the timeline is easy. You select what you want to change and then do it.

The default interface is brushed metal, but you can select the aqua interface as a preference. How cool is that?

In imports video or records directly from a camera. You can also import stills by dragging and dropping from iPhoto or the Finder.

As with other Stone software, much attention is given to details and innovative features. I tried it out for several hours then purchased a license. My sons are currently making movies from DV content shot at the San Diego zoo.

Summary: Lots of fun. Great features. Excellent pricing. High-end quality. Excellent support. Beginner ease of use. Great product from a long-time OS X developer.
