This week we were asked to try some free software and write about whether we liked the software or not.
I decided to download some free software that I thought I would actually use in the future, rather than download something and then delete it. Since I had to send a track of me singing to hopefully, a future employer, I thought I would down some software that would help me cut and edit some video footage of my high school performances. I downloaded AVS4YOU, which is a variety of software such as video, audio and image editing and coping, audio recording, file converting, making ringtones and a few more.
It took me awhile to teach myself how to use AVS without having to read the entire instructions but I got a hang of the tools I needed to use like video copying, cutting and burning. I came across a few problems though - when I copied a video from a DVD onto the computer I couldn't find a way to access the temporary files so every time I wanted to access the video I copied, I had to go through the entire copying process again.
The other problem was since I hadn't actually perchased the software, when it came to burning the edited videos to a disc the AVS4YOU watermark was burnt onto the disc over the time of my video and the only way the get rid of it was to buy the software to get the activation code.
Finally, when I burnt the videos to the disc, the sound didnt work at all and I have no idea why, so I gave up on the cutting and editing and burning and just copied the entire disc and sending that.
All in all, I didn't mind the software, except for all the watermarks and lack of sound.
