CONS:

* No local Help file within program & no clear instructions on how to upload captured images/video to YouTube or Developer's website.

* Cannot re-size program window

* Image & Video-supported formats are limited to those noted above.

* Cost of program is high, compared with similar, equally-capable free & paid software.

Summary: Program is easy to use and does as it says, though instructions on how to upload to YouTube would be helpful - also, price tag is too steep, compared with equally-capable freeware and other paid programs. For these reasons, I would not recommend this program - but I do thank you (GOTD & Video Booth) for this nice offer.

Freeware Option:

Looking at their product page, one can see the usual phony or meaningless "awards".
When will they learn that this kind of behavior turns people off rather than on ?

Hi.
I looked at their website to find that you can have the free version 2.3.2.8 : if you want the Pro you have to pay $ 29.99.
So far it is OK.
But the version from today Giveaway is 2.3.2.6 : it is older than the free and it is certainely not the Pro version!!!.
This is not the first time that a Company use our community of users with a false giveaway. We have better things to do than evaluate their public free version.
My suggestion is to stop right now this giveaway offer wich is not at all what this site is for.
Thanks for the good giveaway software that we regularly find here.

Installed fine on Windows 7 (32 bit). A pity it's the same as their FREE version offered on their site rather than the PRO version that the screenshots above are from. It's nothing more than a advert but if you intend to keep it and need a reinstall at any point at least you can get the download from their site.

The program installed and registered by simply running the setup program. On opening it had found my web cam without any instructions on my part. The interface is extremely sparse with hardly any icons, but I was able to find my way around it without too much difficulty. There are quite a few effects available and I downloaded and attempted to install some more from their website, they installed but they did not appear as additional effects.
My real difficulties came when I attempted to record a video, when I stopped it my computer froze, and the only way to stop it was to physically turn the machine off.
I am probably going to uninstall it, a shame as it looked like it had potential. However it appears to be grossly overpriced!
