Very laggy on my Macbook. Worst part is, I spent 4 hours on a movie project using this app, then when I was going to export it to YouTube, I decided to purchase the product for $40 to avoid the watermark ($26 on the website, $14 in the app store). What a piece of shit. Now I can't even OPEN my file, let alone export it, even though the file is still saved on my macbook. I tried contacting their support team about it, and their response times are slow. No number to call. Is my entire project just "gone"? Like I said, its still sitting on my desktop, but MovieMator will no longer open it, saying its not a MovieMator project or something. Bullshit it isnt. It gave me an exterior link to download MovieMator again, to avoid problems with my iOs Apple "sandbox", and that just took me in the same circle. Whatever the issue is-- there shouldn't BE an issue considering I just bought it. I'm still waiting for some assistance in opening my damn project. I hope to update this review soon, but for now, 1 Star is lucky I cant go lower.

constantly get issues with the software having to shut it down, and start again, has on numerous occasions lost my video. Level of editing tricks and tricks are very very low level basic. and I can make the most basic of videos, definitely not worth the price I paid for it. I regret paying for it. Clearly a lot of fake profiles commenting "great" reviews! DO NOT TRUST DEVELOPERS!
