Corel Corporation offers VideoStudio Pro for video editing and VideoStudio Ultimate supporting video editing and movie making.
Adobe Presenter interface and its complete integration with Powerpoint eliminates the need for additional training or knowledge of Flash programming.While this saves time for the more sophisticated presenter it is less useful for day to day status presentations. There is no substitute for knowing your audience
I had to present a variety of different opinions and find the common ground among them. Corel VideoStudio Pro allowed me to showcase two, three, even four of these at a time. What especially impressed me were how many transition features were available, which allowed me to make my presentation without worrying if it was "fresh" enough. I would hate to be boring. The audio editing was also simple to use, and overlaying and syncing it to the video was an intuitive process. I was able to complete everything in time, and the response I received was great. I feel confident now when having to perform similar tasks and create such projects.
It is very easy for faculty to use. Even those who have limited experience in creating online courses feel comfortable using Presenter.
It allows our faculty to have students working in different areas at the same time so we are able to individualize our instruction to meet student needs.
The quiz feature is fantastic to be able to quickly assess student learning to determine if they are ready to move forward.
My company is pretty invested in the Adobe ecosystem and is unlikely to change that in the foreseeable future. Also, Adobe Presenter is a very valuable tool and, with the new subscription model and the pricing we have, a relatively modest expense now. It's also fairly easy to learn and use, so it is starting to spread beyond the sphere of the various Learning & Development departments.
For all of the reasons I mentioned earlier. Overall, it's quite easy to create basic presentations with and to publish output with, either to an Adobe server, an LMS, or, I think, as stand-alone module. But there are some areas for improvement and better in-product help and explanations would be helpful, as well.
It keeps simplicity and power in one program at a very fair retail price. Features are clearly marked and I feel spending about an hour with the program will make it a valuable asset to most organizations. Great for creating videos based on templates and a need for quantity. I can't imagine anything easier or better.
It is easy to access since it is an added tool to the Powerpoint program. We have not had complaints from faculty members regarding not having it available when they need it.
Due to the aforementioned issues with Flash, it can be discouraging to get to the publishing stage and begin receiving error messages. Once we are able to move past that issue, we have great success with the performance of Adobe Presenter.
I think I pretty much answered this earlier....premium support is extremely expensive and online support can be difficult to navigate. Although, to be fair, when it comes to Presenter (compared to, say, Captivate), there isn't too frequent a need for support, since Presenter is a rather simple tool to use
To recap, it falls short in the quality of the deliverables compared to some others. That said, it is well within acceptable range for many learning environments and audiences. It also is significantly more flexible and affordable than anything else. If I had only one e-learning solution to pick, this would be the one. It is, in fact, my "Go to" solution most of the time..
The program still seems to rely heavily on Adobe Flash even though the online community is moving away from it. When publishing, users will experience error messages regarding Flash, which can make it difficult to complete your work.
Been central system for learning about the Products within the Organization.
Assessments can be taken multiple times and the questions remains the same, no changes on the pattern as well making it easy to copy from other attempts.
Single platform for all the learning so didn't have to go around multiple places looking for answers.
