Within Joiner is an Output Settings menu, where you can change your video’s parameters. You can set the duration of this transition and have a choice of hundreds of them… except that the vast majority merely have a number for a description, forcing you to select it to find out what they do - hardly user friendly how many will have the patience to check out all 248 of them? You’re able to add transitions in between your clips. The right most buttons let you Rotate your footage, Add/Remove Music, and Split a clip.

The three middle buttons offer you three different ways to cut footage: Easy Cutter, Batch Cutter and Advanced Cutter. The red Joiner button seems more promising as that appear to be where you build your edit. Based on their titles, you can Crop a file, add Effects, a Subtitle or a Watermark. Those colours don’t appear to organise the buttons in any particular group, and seem to have been chosen for aesthetic purposes.

The interface offers you eleven huge coloured buttons. Can anyone make a movie with this software?Īt first glance, it’s hard to know where to proceed.

Could I be so stuck in my ways that I cannot see a radical departure from the norm as anything but a mistake and an inconvenience? So in order to do this software justice, I will endeavour to look at it through the eyes of someone who has no prior knowledge or experience of editing.

It could well be that my experience in this field is putting me at a disadvantage. There’s no Preview Window, no Browser to look for clips and drag them to the Timeline to build your edit, no Timeline even.
