It sure wasn't a Giveaway "Yesterday", for me. The Page "Yesterday" looks exactly like it does today, for me, and some others I think.

How do you mark the end of a video, can't see any way to do it

Why is the download is so slow? The time remaining to install is about 20 minutes, but it will take lot longer than 20 minutes for me to just download the 22 MB file. :-(

PS: I am on a super fast Internet connection.

When trying to install on my w7 machine it shows No 3d-accelerated hardware cards or drivers found. I have a hd4350 1gb ati g-card installed.
Cannot activate please share with the company.

As usual, very basic Audio Controls - the only thing that I checked for as I already have several low & middle end video programs. Looks okay, I just don't need another.

Info for those who are a bit on the tech side: The "reg key" is a base64 encoded registration info, so you might be able to personalize the decoded string and encode it again...

i believe giveawayoftheday will shortly reduce downloaders because of trial period.

BEST VIDEO TITLE MAKER AND SO MANY OPTIONS!

WOW !!

THANKS

It is a shame the developer has not tried to produce a 32bit build of this... it should have no trouble running as a 32bit application provided 32 bit versions of the open source FFMPEG support libraries are used too. I am certain that during use it's memory allocation never exceeds 2Gbytes unless it never releases allocated memory once it is no longer in use... I is apparently a very young piece of software at version 1.0.0.36 or 1.0.0.38 on their website.

I suggest this developer also publish a development history of the product as releasing new builds with no mention of what's new or fixed sugesst that no real development has taken place and the product is just periodically rebuilt with a new build number just to apear it's being actively developped but nothing significant has changed or been fixed.

I note that the new 1.0.0.38 build which does not come preactivated like this giveaway build does... DOES accept the readme.txt activation procedure and giveaway license code. So we are not bound to the older build that was published before the giveaways installer had to be passed to GAOTD for packaging.

There is NO offline help documentation and only an online collection of videos and tips at https://www.videodetailer.com/helpcenter/ I do note there apears to be absolutly no control over GPU acceleration and strongly suspect it does not use any GPU acceleration in and of itself... it is possible that the FFMPEG libraries *might* default to GPU acceleration depending upon how they were built but that's not something we as end users are privy to.

I note that the sound subsystem used is not WASAPI so it is unable to capture system audio if the system does not support a specific input pin to record the sound mixer or wav out or whatever it may be called which can make this product unworkable on certain machines with DRM crippled audio hardware and or crippled drivers.

There are ways around it like installing a USB sound device with a stereo mix input pin in the mixer or installing virtual cable sound driver to capture applications sound output. but they are all sub-optimal.

I would prefer to see WASAPI used to allow simultaneous capture of system or specifc applications sound output AND the systems microphones so one does not have to conduct two recording sessions and overdub the voice soundtrack over the applications sound track.

This is a new giveaway contributor so we do not know their ongoing updates entitlement so must assume the standad giveaway limitations are in force so we should go into the Settings and disable the Automatically check for updates setting until told otherwise by the contributor.

In the preset dimensions "Standards" the include mostly normal dimensions... the only abnormal one is the so called 4K one which has become to mean twice FHD 1920x1080 in both directions so is normally 3840x1080 but in this progra it oddly is set as 3860x1080 so it's not standard UHD 3840x2160 and not true 4K of 4096x2160 ... Though it is possible to manually edit the dimensions fields to correct that and even select full 4096x2160! The absolute maximum dimensions permitted is currently 4096x4096 which is adequate for domestic display equipment.

Program shows alot of promise. I would like to see the ability to annotate a video with text using fancy font rendering such that text can be rendered in curves and user defined shaped lines and maybe changing colour effects during the time line in a the fashion of say video karaoke text where one needs certain letters to change colour at certain points in the time line. I can see how it could be done with the program as it is by rendering each sylable as an individual text annotation object and swapping for different coloured same text annotaion objects at the needed points in the time line but that would be a very labour intensive way to achieve the required result.

I would also like to see a frame forward or frame backwards control and the ability to nudge an object back and forth a single frame which is nigh on impossible to do with drag and drop interface.

a question were the helpcenter videos produced using this software?

My system is 64bit and I am using windows 10 but unable to register and Create a Blank movie. Please help I already tried the new version still no luck. Before it was saying expired now it is saying 15 days trial version but unable to register it. Please help

my computer says it can not install x64, anything I can do. I really want to try this one out.

Is this a lifetime license?

Straight forward installation win 7 64bit laptop.It seems on first use functional and useful.Made a very cool 10 second (which was full of info and exciting dynamic visuals) Gif 480x 360 [862k] .The layout is sort of non windows but you get the hang of it once you have a dummy run at creating something.Things and options reveal themselves as you poke about.

Installed and activated OK but when I click on Record screen I get a popup message saying Exception EOverflow in module nvwgf2umx.dll at 000000000096AD6C. Floating point overflow.

Tanita, the folks behind Video Detailer, are very forthright when they say in their ad copy: "Video Detailer is an elegant, easy-to-use tool for making videos of all sorts for those who don’t want the complexity of applications that are difficult to learn." They don't pretend that Video Detailer is a full NLE [Non Linear (video/audio) Editor], which is fine, and an NLE does take some learning. OTOH, when they sort of imply that you can do everything that you can with a good NLE, that's a bit misleading. You could for example create a respectable YouTube video, but it's not really going to compare with the work done by pros making money from YouTube using a full NLE. Personally I'd classify Video Detailer as a cheaper alternative to the popular Camtasia -- one that also focuses on importing video.

That said, you can get an NLE much cheaper. DaVinci Resolve is free. Corel's VideoStudio Pro usually winds up on sale for around $25 towards the end of a version's shelf life, as Corel gets ready to release the next version. The same for Nero Ultimate, which include a NLE. But they all, especially Resolve, do take some learning.

It should be very helpful to mention, that the GOTD-zip was renewed.
Just after start of the GOTD-periode I dowloaded the ZIP and in the Readme was a short code and the text, that it was selfregistring. (and install the software using the Setup.exe file, the program is automatically registered if you install it on the day of the giveaway.)
Now I read that there is a long code, so I downloaded it again and the Zip is different.
Place a posting if you alter the ZIP with a better one.

Developer needs to specify that this is only good for x64 bit machines and will not work on 32 bit machines. The way it is stated, says good for all win 7/8/8.1 and only win10 (x64). Which brings up another question, why would the developer leave out such a large segment of potential buyers? Is it just laziness in not wanting to add the necessary programming elements to support 32 bit machines?

I really wanted to try this software, but....

I have not tried this giveaway Video Detailer. No idea whether it is good or not.
But I have tried Camtasia, which is a very good software product in this genre.
Camtasia is probably the benchmark against which other similar software are measured.

A nice software, I am sure this will come in handy, thanks very much!

Hi,
I just recorded a video and now I'm trying to use the mask function to mask or blur something out of the video. The video just becomes a circle when I press mask. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks!

What would be helpful if a software demo link was included to get some idea of the functionality. I just checked YouTube and other locations and couldn't find a single multifunctional demo. Their home page did include very short demos of individual features but that really doesn't give me an idea of the overall functionality. This is something EVERY software of this type should include on their homepage.

Is this software time-limited? For example, 6 months or 1 year? I wish that this would be noted up front on all give-aways. While I might use for this sometime in the future, I cannot see me using it often. Many give-aways that I have downloaded and went back to later have expired which does me little good and then I have to go to the trouble of uninstalling. Anyone with info on this, please respond. Thanks!

Installed and activated without problem and the interface looks clean and modern. However that's where my experience ended because as soon as I imported a 30 second AVI file to the timeline and attempted to do anything, even scrub across it, the program crashed. Same with dragging to change the length a clip.

I would try what others have done and update it, but Avast throws a wobbly and says the file has been submitted for interrogation as it may be dangerous.

WOW! Installed with zero issues (Windows 10, 64 Bit, Ryzen 7 1700). This program is both simple AND easy. Cropping and then transitioning with an old Windows Movie Maker ease is exactly what I needed and couldn't find with all the other GOTD offerings. I went through all the motions, imported, exported all without a hitch. Thank you Thank you for this gem :D

Can it record the camera in a frame and also the screen?

1-It only opens "TDV" Files however you still can import other types of files photos and videos .

2- once you install it , avoid the red button of recording and click on the blue one next which says create blank movie .
3-Click on the up top left 3 black lines to open the menu , Click on settings , then uncheck the " Automatically check for updates " Option .

4- look down the menu on the left , there are two dots like buttons , one black and one white , click on the white one , then click on the "Enter Activation Code " Click ok . you will get an error message Don't worry at all , just click continue using the app , it's already registered to giveawayoftheday

5- when you close and open the software again , go to the settings to check whether the automatic update is still unchecked or returned to be checked again , since this happened to me . and make sure it's unchecked .

6- There is actually a newer version 1.0.0.37 but if you went into updating it your software will turn into a trial version then your current version will not work again unless you buy the new version .

ERROR
"This program can only be installed on versions of windows designed for the following processor architectures: x64"

The per-requisite for installation said Windows 7/8/8.1/10
It was only natural to assume that windows 7 32 or 64 bits would not be a problem. Why this negligence or non-professionalism in product development? Attention to details is vital in software development.

I love the promise of the software and would ave loved to try it out. But ....uninstalled.

Thanks a lot all the same GAOTD and Developers

I cannot activate with registration code. I tried under 1.0.0.36 and 1.0.0.37 version too, but I get an error (Win10 64-bit).
Please check registration!
