Today is Saturday June 14th, I bought VideoFactory 2.0 around 5:00pm EDST and it has been 7 hours and I still haven't received my serial number via email. Is this an automated process or manually sent by an employee? Any chance SonicFoundry was put onto a spam list and ISPs are bouncing their mails (that actually happened with my company, it was somewhat embarrasing!) I double checked my order and I entered the correct email address but I haven't received it yet.
I bought it, so I really want to use it! :-)
I have Adobe Premiere 6.0 and, not to be rude, what a piece of crap that software is. It's probably powerful enough to allow someone to recreate The Matrix, but its UI and help docs are absolute sh**. I don't like software that requires professional training in order to use! I downloaded the demo of VideoFactory last week and not only was it intuitive enough to quickly do the superimpose feature that I spent hour trying to do in Premiere, I was able to play around with other intuitively designed features which you'd never even think to check for with Premiere. In that app, everything is hidden and good luck trying to do ANYTHING new without your own personal Premiere Guru standing over your shoulder! It was also nice to click a play button and see an instantaneous preview of my timeline; exactly like a Windows user would expect a professional app to behave. Compare that to the sloppy, POS Premiere 6.0. I finally added the simple superimpose feature and clicked play. It only played one of the video tracks, not the timeline! I finally managed to dig up how to cause a real preview to occur and I was greeted with a message telling me that it would take 2 hours to prepare for the preview. Are they insane? Moral of the story: If it ain't Acrobat Reader, just say no to Adobe.
