Users report significant stability issues, including frequent bugs, glitches, and slow performance, leading to frustration with the lack of communication from developers regarding updates and fixes. Many have experienced problems such as incorrect export settings, long buffering times, and timeline freezes, which detract from the overall user experience.
“I am so sick and tired of having to email and contact the developers for endless bugs and glitches.”
“I'm suspecting the programmers are lazy to fix the glitches and bugs.”
“It always stays at 59.94 or something you didn't tell it to export as. Clips take centuries to buffer and be able to preview, despite the many times the file has been opened. There is absolutely zero communication on updates and other ways the developers screw up things that were working just fine. The tutorials that I should not have to go to for help are several years out of date. Clips are scrambled, and a completely different video is in the place of another that has absolutely zero connection with each other. The timeline needle completely freezes, and it doesn't load any preview, but still plays audio.”

Users find the humor in the software's ironic branding as "professional video editing software," especially when attempting to create funny content. The juxtaposition of the software's claims and the user's experience adds a layer of comedic critique.
“Hilariously, they still have the balls to call it a 'professional video editing software'.”

The monetization strategy is heavily reliant on incessant advertisements for other NCH products, which can detract from the overall user experience.
“It gives you endless advertisements for other NCH products.”
