Editors' Choice Video Software Instant Video Presenter Review by Terry Kibiloski
Instant Video Presenter (Retail $259.99), from ej4, lets you create professional newsroom-style video in minutes, using the included 5’ x 7’ green screen and an extremely easy to use software interface. This is an exciting product that will empower teachers, speakers, business presenters, and corporate trainers with a tool that, until now, was only available to high-end organizations with big budgets. Rather than needing a studio with professionals in lighting, sound, camera, and editing, all you need is a computer, a webcam, Instant Video Presenter software and its included green screen. Over the years, we have reviewed many excellent video-related software packages but none have brought with them the excitement of Instant Video Professor. This is a tool that brings video presentations to the masses at an affordable price.
Instant Video Presenter is a specialized recording application that captures you and your PC application simultaneously, and requires no prior technical or video knowledge. Since everything is real time, there is no editing required. Instant Video Presenter provides pre-defined recording options, automatic chroma key, real-time recording, live preview, instant deployment, live desktop capture, single-click background selection, simple banner navigation, automated wizards, free video tutorials and presentation templates, and compatibility with other presentation programs, including Microsoft PowerPoint.
Instant Video Presenter lets you choose from 4 pre-defined frame sizes to produce videos that are optimized for distribution through e-mail, Web upload, CD and DVD, or high-resolution videos. It automatically recognizes the green screen behind you and replaces it with your selected background or desktop application. Videos are keyed, rendered, and compressed in real-time as you record. This gives you a professional-quality video that is ready to deploy as soon as you finish recording. You can see your video as it will appear before you start recording and quickly adjust backgrounds and presenter appearance as needed. This makes sure your video is right the first time you record.
Your video is saved as a Windows Media Player file (.wmv) the instant you stop recording. This allows for immediate deployment electronically through PowerPoint presentations, e-mail, Web site uploads, and input into most advanced video applications. Instant Video Presenter records the presenter and PC simultaneously, letting you interact with the content on your screen.
