Large installation file that appeared to install correctly. However I had to try to open the installed application 5 times before it actually opened. Not sure why? Biggest disappointment was that the software key activates a valid license for only 365 days so I simply went ahead and installed it. What a waste of time! Thanks for nothing GOTD!

One year license only - well, I understand why, but it is not interesting for me. If I need something for work or regular use, I have no problem to pay for it (and typical one month demo is quite enough for testing). If I find something interesting, but I expect very rare use, it is not worth to download and learn for a limited time. In this case I have access to Camtasia if I really need it and on my home computer I have some free alternatives with far less power (just enough for screen/webcam capture and basic editing), but unlimited license...

I see people are starting to forget this is a giveaway site. We "graciously" as we see fit take advantage of these offers by GotD from developers seeking audiences & improvements in given software.

Be glad GotD is up and giving us daily giveaways, it may not be forever.

While i'm no fan of subs myself, 1 year is a long time & maybe like other developers might offer this again near subs endgame. Never know.

Will install then give feedback.

Joey,
There are plenty of sites with giveaways for the sake of testing. This sites as well as others do not do it as a favor not for you nor for me or anybody else. They make profit from the fact that people visit the site.
The better offers are, the more site entries, so complaining about a giveaway because it not up to standard or it is not lifetime given and instead an extended trial is not only not uncalled for, it is welcomed.

@ "William", post #2: In that case, you for one shouldn't be wasting your time visiting GOTD, should you? A year's usage of a licensed commercial software product without cost isn't an "extended demo". It's an opportunity to have a 12-month-long try-before-you-buy. Or not buy.

As to today's offer, there are enough complaints on YouTube and the product's Google Groups forum to indicate that this Chinese company has ongoing difficulties in dealing efficiently with its paying customers.

Any developer that appears not to know what it's doing in regard to product licensing, updates, and support isn't one whose software I'm ever going to buy, so I'm not ever going to try it. Thanks, GOTD, but no thanks.

MikeR, I

In your own words, "try before you buy", that is the definition of trial period. This is not an anti-virus or other program that requires the company to expend resources on a daily basis to keep the program performing at peak capability. Those programs have a subscription basis.

This has none of that pressure, maybe a patch now and again, nothing more. Have you ever given something away, told the receiver that the items is theirs to do as they wish, but finished with "next year on this date, I will come see you and break the item I gave you as a gift UNLESS you pay me not to"? Of course you haven't done that.

There are a few programs on this site that are truly free anymore, seems people either don't know the meaning or think that we are stupid enough not too see through their deception. Many programs have extended trial periods, nothing more. Most of these programs you could get the same amount of time, just by changing the email address you use once the first trial period ends.

By putting their software up for free, they are getting feedback, sometimes by IT professions and programmers in return. That feedback is free as well, quid pro quo is it were. Being that this is yet another indian giver, I will pass just for that reason alone. While this is better than the now typical 6 month trial period, it still falls into the extended trial period. What if apple and Microsoft caught on to this trick and decided that you not only have to pay for new versions, but you had to pay a subscription monthly rate just to keep your current OS functional, that would piss us off just as much.

This program is on Steam aswell, maybe you want to check out some of the reviews there http://store.steampowered.com/app/751390/

Also when you click the publishers name on the right side, you'll find other programs from them offered here aswell.

After unpacking the setup, i saw the icon and immediately remembered i saw this somewhere on here before, SmartPixel it was, the predecessor to this but effectively, they renamed it to GoPlay, you can even find smartpixel.exe and smartpixelOld.exe in the install directory.

Other than that, the program utilizes a lot of free and Open Source libraries and frameworks, like Frei0r, MLT Framework, Modern Video Toolkit, Qt, which makes it rather big on the hard disk.

Here is a comparison between Free and Pro http://www.goplayeditor.com/pro

The program needs to "speak" with the internet when you use it, otherwise it will work in a unregistered state, non-pro as listed above.

Lifetime license for this is currently $63.90 as you can see, in that case i would rather go with OBS for screen recording (free) and OpenShot or Shotcut for editing (also free), very powerful and feature rich tools that can be used indefinitely.
