The stability of the program is widely criticized, with users reporting frequent crashes, freezes, and bugs, particularly during autosaving and when handling long videos. Many express frustration over the software's inability to manage multiple clips or effects without freezing, and there are complaints about the developers' lack of responsiveness to these issues. While some users find it functional for basic tasks, the overall consensus is that the program suffers from significant stability problems.
“Its a good program but has some problems. First of all, it has an autosave 'feature' that will autosave every time you do anything. The program freezes when it's autosaving, so good luck not losing your mind while trying to add anything to a clip. Another thing is the program has a difficult time handling long videos (1+ hour videos); it will crash a lot while cutting a long video into small sections. The program has a lot of good stuff like transitions, free music, and effects, but it feels like a waste of money even though I got it on sale for like 5 euros.”
“Devs know about the bugs; they just do not care. They will put out a 'new' also buggy version with a new UI for full price every week instead of fixing the current version.”
“Constantly freezes or crashes.”

The music aspect of the software receives mixed reviews, with users appreciating the availability of built-in music and sound effects for video projects, but expressing frustration over issues like low audio quality, difficulty in cutting music files, and software crashes during long video edits. While some find it useful for minor edits and transitions, others criticize the autosave feature and overall performance, suggesting that alternatives like Musicbee may offer better functionality for music conversion.
“The video editor is a great suite for small projects, coming with a modest range of music, sound effects, backgrounds, etc. I've been using these in my videos and nothing bad has happened yet.”
“I find it easy to compile clips with background music and linking up the beats to the big moments is quite easy as well.”
“Comes with some nice stock footage and music, though, so that's cool.”
“Using the sound converter, my CPU temperature was incredibly high, way too high, and the songs I converted to MP3 were corrupted and didn't work.”
“It seems to default to AAC at about 170kbps, which is just not enough for, say, live music (without audible artifacts, that is).”
“I thought I'd created a seamless music transition but it stuttered instead.”

Overall, users report mixed experiences with optimization; while some find the software runs smoothly even on older hardware, others encounter significant performance issues, particularly with video editing tasks. Notably, the lack of video acceleration support for AMD GPUs is a drawback, although many appreciate the ease of use and satisfactory performance on compatible systems.
“It even runs smoothly on a now 9-year-old laptop.”
“I'd recommend this software blindly... I took my chance and purchased the software and I'm loving it... I'm not having any trial version issues, there is a shortcut of software on the desktop and it runs smoothly... awesome experience for me.”
“The video editing feature had lots of performance issues; every action took seconds, if not minutes, on a base video of around 20 minutes.”
“Right now, editing a triple-channel 1080p video from a Nikon D810, a Fujifilm X100F, and Zoom outputs is a bit slow in terms of preview and edit performance.”
“It's good and easy to use, but there's no video acceleration feature for AMD GPUs; only Intel and NVIDIA hardware are optimized.”

The graphics performance of the application has been criticized for being frustrating, with users experiencing difficulties in basic functions like detaching audio from visuals. Despite having a capable RTX 2070 graphics card, users report ongoing issues that detract from the overall experience, leading many to suggest purchasing the application only during sales.
“Fitted RTX 2070 8GB graphics card and M.2 256GB NVMe today.”
“I tried different formats, updating graphic hardware, and disabling acceleration - no luck.”

The gameplay aspect is well-supported with features for screen, video, and voice recording, making it easy to create and edit YouTube gameplay videos. However, users have reported limitations, such as the inability to upload multiple videos and issues with audio being disabled when using the video editor, which can hinder the overall experience.
“It has all the features you need to create a YouTube gameplay video, including screen recording, video recording, and voice recording capabilities.”
“I bought it for editing my gameplay videos to upload on YouTube and share with friends.”
“If you're making YouTube videos of your gameplay, it's super easy to drag, trim, and edit your videos, as well as encode them to different formats.”
“On top of this, the videos I want to upload are from a game I play a lot, and the program not only doesn't let me upload multiple videos but also 'steals' the sound as soon as you launch the video editor, rendering gameplay while it is loaded completely off the cards.”
