Hi John.

Interesting and looks good quality but only available on yearly subscription. Then you have to buy extra credits to edit. Only seems to be available online. Maddening interface. I found it difficult to navigate and no real idea of what upload limits etc for files.

Hi Ray,

Yes, subscription is not for me, but...

Consider 12$/month vs 50$/month for Mocha. Either way, you would really need to have a reasonably heavy use for one or the other. I can live with doing rotoscoping in Xara.

Hi John.

It's seems like it's more expensive than that. For this type of use on a regular basis (assuming this was for podcasts) you would need extra credits. No mention of how much credits cost.

I could easily chew through 100GBs of data. 2 minutes of video per month on basic subscription and still under 3 minutes for the Pro version? One project could exceed that and it is online editing only. The free trial is for 8 secs worth of video.

Not usable for streaming. Not an inboard application. Limited to 2K for exports. No Pro Res support.

Not only is it not cheaper than Mocha for a heavier user but less flexible. At least you can have the choice of a perpetual licence with Mocha and likely to be useful for more than a few years and you can export beyond 2K.

If you are a casual user you are still locked into a one year subscription service. This is why I prefer to have software without these clauses. I can understand why it's an online only service. The processing power needed is enormous and you are being charged for it.

Then again nothing seems to be guaranteed when talking about software or the internet. Look at DP Review being not only dropped by Amazon but erased totally from the web as a service. Difficult times for the whole industry trying to find ways to make a profit but hoping the public will fill the shortfalls in income is possibly a mistake for the next few years.
