see older commentsLa version gratuite est suffisante pour faire du montage vidéo simplement avec ajout d'enregistrement de la voix en direct.
Installé 2 fois, et désinstallé 2 fois, car lorsque je choisis l'option permettant de sélectionner une zone de l'écran, celui-ci se transforme en clignotant. Impossible d'arrêter cela ni de faire quoi que ce soit, et pas d'autre solution que d'éteindre en faisant "reset", et puis désinstaller le programme !. Pour info : je suis sous windows 7.
Il serait bien d'y ajouter faststone capture ( faststone.org ) qui permet de capturer écrans et video en framerate et un éditeur interne pour créer des grafitis sur les video.
pour du gratuit, on ne va pas se plaindre
nécessite une grosse congif et que l'enregistrement dure largement moins d'une heure, formats de sortie limités
veritable studio, seul le prix peut être décourageant.
Comparatif très intéressant. Pour des tutoriels en informatique, j'utilise AVS4YOU. Pour une cinquantaine de dollars, vous avez un éditeur de vidéo, de son, de photo et des convertisseurs de vidéo, de son etc....
very good ergonomics but no interaction possible with the user
Excellent encoding
Terrific !
