How much is the commercial license, which you are told about "after purchase"

Don't know about the program, but if the website is any indication then I'll pass. Mis-spelled word, gigantic video that takes time to load, crummy audio... no thanks.

And the guy says to "act quickly, because there are a limited number of copies of the software." Gee, I never realized that before. Maybe he should do a late-night TV commercial and throw in a "act within the next three minutes and we'll DOUBLE the offer (just pay additional shipping and handling)."

Sorry, haven't had my coffee yet this morning.

Looks almost like a Videoscribe clone. Just like one could wonder wether Focusky's mocking Prezi?

Their marketing plan is obviously geared towards an impulse buy path. Regardless of their marketing specifics it is probably a decent plan. At $39 US if they can get a lot of people that will use it only once to buy it, then that can add up in $.

Some of the infomercial 'isms they use are silly with regards to downloaded software. Of course all the other infomercial 'isms are there like, limited time price and supposed price comparisons.

Anyway, if as they say, the marketing video was done with their software then I would say it is worth $39 US for that functionality.

Yes, it would be nice to know if that advertisement itself was done with the software. I kept thinking it wasn't, and that what we were shown was marketing fluff beyond the software's capabilities.

I was confused by the USP being communicated; I was confused by the potential riches I would garner; I was confused by the apparent description of what the program did - and this from a communication media company?

I was not confused by the yacht! I really want one of them.

Sorry, I didn't get it.

It definitely isn't, it was done the way many popular channels on YT do it. Sheets of white paper, Sharpies and a rostrum camera. The software he's hawking doesn't do any human like colouring in at all. There's a video of how to use his software that makes the difference very obvious.

For the money it's a reasonable deal I guess but I'd be much more inclined to part with my money if it was truthfully promoted.

The commercial license seems to be $97.

What makes you say that Bob? The demo of the guy actually using the software seems to show that it does. For the price, it's probably worth buying just to have in the tool bag. What puts me off is the dodgy nature of the website - looks like a con.
But, then ushere's friend has bought and used it.....??

In the original the outlines are drawn then progressively filled in with a series of brush / crayon strokes. What you see is quite likely the work of a human artist.

The software version traces the outline then instantly fills in the outline with a solid colour. This looks completely unnatural, I know of no way a human can fill in an area in an instant.

Watch this:



and compare it with say this:

"The software version traces the outline then instantly fills in the outline with a solid colour. This looks completely unnatural, I know of no way a human can fill in an area in an instant."

I totally agree. Hopefully it has the option to "Write" minus the Unnatural "Fill".

well my friend, whose opinion i respect, is well pleased with what it can do at that price point.. i can't say anything further since i haven't as yet bought it, but i'm very likely to at that price - after all, it's not going to be as good as the real thing, but the real thing is either going to take me all day, or cost $100's - for just a quick bit of glitz....

here's the 'real' website, which isn't much of an improvement over the other one though:

http://easysketchpro.com/

i agree that both websites are a complete marketing disaster (looked at from our pov) - i'd certainly be wary of doing any business with such a site, but video scribes isn't that much better:

http://www.videoscribe.co/

but at least you get a trial - either way, for the money i reckon it's well worth it...

anyway - for those interested (courtesy of my friend) -

AH, I get it now! - Moving on . . . . .

One of the pros of VideoScribe is it outputs HD which even the commercial version of Easy Sketch Pro doesn't. You may read this.

well that's a deal breaker indeed! my friend is into web design rather than video (he was into it once upon a time).

but now i'm going to have a more serious look and play with videoscribe....

Anyone tried Pencil, it's free?

There's also K-Sketch which is also free.
