What do you like best about ActivePresenter?

For those who do not know how to edit videos or are just new to this field, Active Presenter is a great choice! When I began to make videos for my classes and for my Youtube Channel, there were plenty of software. However, mostly I ended up becoming confused using those. Compared to many, ActivePresenter is very user-friendly. The interface is pretty easy to understand, and I like the slides' features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ActivePresenter?

When I edit videos, sometimes the volume function can be a trouble. In every video, we need to increase video volume on Active Presenter manually. I found out that it can be done only once. If I want to increase the volume again, it becomes 100x more, which sounds very bad on my videos. My recommendation would be to make the volume come to original so that the user can make as many adjustments as possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ActivePresenter:

it's a great too for editing videos, recording screen and doing presentations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ActivePresenter solving and how is that benefiting you?

I regularly make videos for Youtube. I record programming classes using Active Presenter screen recorder and then edit those videos on the same platform. I sometimes make presentations with the slides as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The application on my computer crashes randomly at times and does not always work reliably. I also do not like how you cannot record your screen and your camera simultaneously in the free version, but hey, it's free! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the fact that it is super simple to use. You can record your screen with voice over and a video. During the times where we have to make ample user guides to support clients, Active presenter has certainly helped a lot. You can easily record a part of your screen and convert it into a high-resolution video. The conversion can be done in mp4 or avi. The duration of the meeting does not matter. It is indeed simple to record anything on the fly. In case you want to increase your knowledge base, you can certainly take help of Active Presenter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Use if you are new to video content preparation or have little knowledge of content editing. It is good for pro as well as a new comer. It worth the price for using active presenter.

What do you like best about ActivePresenter?

I like that it has specific mode for specific screen recording app. It helps in software demonstration, video recording, youtube content creation and direct upload. It records video in very less size and in best quality. It supports features like inserting youtube video, spotlight , container, cropping, shapes. It supports features like adding questions in the project. It supports well and smooth animations and transitions. It supports multiple export types like HTML5 video,images, video, MS Power point. We can directly upload to youtube. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ActivePresenter?

I dislike that any error installation makes the software crashes sometimes. In windows OS sometimes external cameras are not supported. The software simulation template sometimes makes it hard to edit because it generates all it self. It is bad than manual editing. I like it so i don't think there is much bug in the active presenter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Whatever application you are using for screen recording and video editing switch to active presenter it worth every penny. You will get a video editor out of the box. It has great features to make your work and presentation easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ActivePresenter solving and how is that benefiting you?

I create software simulation, and record videos with this app. I realized that having a screen recorder and video editor separately makes it harder so software like active presenter makes it more easy and productive. It has great features of editing the recorded videos. The built in features are such good that you will not need any another software for editing. It is the best software and makes my software development and demonstration easy and fast. I create presentation using this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
