EaseUS Video Editor is a video editor softwware with a collection of video filters and overlay effects. Apply quick effects to a video to enhance the look of movies. With it, users can drop videos, music, voiceover tracks, text and effects and transitions on to the timeline, splicing, mixing editing and more. Finished results can be exported as audio, video or animated GIF files, with each…
As I mentioned earlier, it's best used for "presentations," rather than bona fide "training." That's why we tend to use it when the information is relatively simple and/or doesn't need to be fully internalized or mastered (which would require providing opportunities for practice and feedback and a more engaging, interactive learning experience). However, it can be used as part of a blended-learning solution, with some information provided via an Adobe Presenter module first, and then some kind of instructor-led session as a follow-up, which would include more role-specific info, as well as practice and feedback opportunities. Also, as I mentioned earlier, Adobe Presenter Video Express is great for creating quick overview demos about a new system -- more of a "see what it can do" type thing than a "here's how you do it" thing (unless the "it" is very simple and the video is used more as a microlearning/performance support type of offering).
I'm pretty much going to be mentioning the same thing, but I'll paraphrase. For those looking for an editor that can as well save audio files (mainly .mp3 files), I would suggest EaseUS Video Editor. Make sure you have enough room in your hard drive to download this software program. I'm not saying that it'll take up a lot of room, but it's not a small software program either. With as much video editing and as many video files as I save, you'll definitely need the room. One thing I forgot to state, and I must, is that renaming the files is an added plus. You'll get to saving so many files, and the next thing you know you'll ask yourself questions such as, "What did I save this file for?" Another question that comes to mind is, "Why didn't I have use the automatic timer?" I don't think I had the opportunity to check and see if I could set the timer myself or not. If that's not a feature, it would be an excellent one.
Because it integrates with PowerPoint, it is possible to go from planning outline to storyboard to final output withing a single document and as part of a seamless and logical design process.
Its ability to create videos that capture screens along with web-cam recordings, then edit them within the solution means higher level training recordings can be created versus, say a recorded WebEx training session.
Presenter's ability to create quiz elements similar to Adobe Captivate, add interactions, and interface with Adobe's LMS means it is capable of functioning as a complete e-learning development environment. .
If up front cost is a consideration, Presenter wins hands down over many better known training development and e-learning solutions.
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.
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
LMS365 and Adobe Presenter are not that much different, the major issue that we faced with LMS was that we had to integrate that with the SharePoint, for accessibility and that cases whole lot of confusions and keeping things clean as SharePoint was being used for file store and sharing within the company. Moving to Adobe Presenter was taken as it was independent platform and didn't have any dependency.
As I've previously stated, EaseuS Video Editor can also be used to as an alternative for Zoom. The only thing is that not everyone has this software program because Zoom presented itself more as the video recording software of choice. Zoom was as well the one the majority of us in the public was more aware of. One main advantage EaseUs Video Editor has over Zoom is, and I'll state this repeatedly, editing. I can with any videos with EaseUs edit more with easily and effortlessly. Overall, I've had to after converting any Zoom meetings edit and make them a better quality with EaseUS.
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.
It will be safe to say that overall impact had been positive in regards to ROI
Training costs have been reduced by a huge margin since we started using this tool.
Time consumed in training staff is also decreased, as with Adobe Presenter training can be done remotely and are able to train different groups at the same time.
