All of us who are familiar with YouTube videos and different tutorials have often heard a common word called ‘Ezvid’. Ezvid is a free software that has multiple benefits, the primary one being it’s an awesome video recording and editing tool. But this post is not about how good the software is. It explores reasons why it is time to move on with Ezvid and open arms to the other contemporaries available in the market.
But before we begin with the negativities let’s have a look why our video recording friend is not that bad after all!
Video Capture: It’s another tool for having a good video and it’s pretty easy to handle as well.
Screen Record: Ezvid can be easily used to record a video of the screen of your computer. Simply turn it on and press that recorder button, even a layman can do that!
Video Editing: Now once the video is created we need to edit it, do contrast adjustments and modify here and there. Ezvid has some great in-built tools for making video editing. However, highly developed tools cannot be externally integrated. So, for a professional video editor, Ezvid is definitely not the software for you.
Create a Video: Want to make a birthday video with some old pictures? Grab Ezvid and simply align the images. You can also have a background music or record a voice message. Cliché but useful!
Video Wiki: What is that? As cool as the name sounds, video wiki offers videos that describe products and tools available, in a word videos sharing information. The name has definitely got a ring to it but basically it is nothing but a video merchandising a product. Show off!
1. It lags. Period. A software (in the 21st century) needs to be easy to handle as well as fast. If it takes time more than required the user loses interest and it definitely exposes an ugly side of the software.
2. Advertisements. Ezvid has a lot of blog posts boosting up its sales. Moreover, recording a video with Ezvid may display its ads. Now, if it’s a personal video the issue is minor but for an official tutorial a scrolled advertisement floating at the bottom is irritating (we already have those google ads! To avoid google ads use Adblock plus)
3. You cannot adjust the bit rate, or in more general terms, the rate at which the frames are sliding. You cannot make a frame stay longer than the others. And that is where you realise the days of Ezvid are over.
Fraps: This software is like an underdog. The people who use Fraps never use anything else, and others never know. With no ads and easy frame handling with bit rate adjustments, Fraps is a great alternative for Ezvid.
