EzVid Review


I went looking for the best screen recorder so I could document an event on Facebook.
Update-  All the reviews I had watched or read about EzVid implied that gaining access to the EzVid project files was not an option or very difficult. That is not true. The project files are easy to access. They are listed in your documents file, right under EzVid. A simple search would find them. They are in normal WMA file. Thus editing them in Windows movie makes would be easy. 

I reviewed EzVid. It is a piece of crap. Do not bother. Some had said if you want something easy with just drag and drop, use EzVid. That is simply a lie by omission. EzVid is simple, but lacking in such basic functions as a cut feature.  All it allows you to do is split a frame. That sounds like it would work for editing. That suggests that EzVid would cut the frame where you placed the time tracker to cut, but it does not do that. It merely splits the frame in half, really in essence leaving you with nothing workable on either side. 
The simplicity makes it completely non-functional. 
I really cannot see any redeeming qualities about the software. I would not even let a child use it because it would teach bad habits to them in video editing. 
Right now, I am waiting for it to unfreeze, this is the second time it has frozen while working on a video.
