Seems microsoft edge does not like this forum.
Testing went faster as I expected.
Have installed Adobe program trial. 4.1 gb. and installs a lot of microsoft c++ or something like that. Download is 1.7 gb.
Started with an project 10:40, and completed 11:34. Just straight on. put in some movie files few effects. During rendering it looks like it stops for some minutes, and then carry on. Somehow the file ended up with just 3 minutes of video. Perhaps an limit of the trial software. No idea.
During the test I checked the mem usage regular, 1.4- 1.6 gb. Processor most times a bit over the 60%
System felt real sluggish. Even Itunes, what I always have running for background music, stopped a few times.
Deinstalled the adobe program, and had to manual remove all the microsoft C++ things..
Movavi.
Installed 142 mb. Download is 56mb. Didnt see any signs of other software installed.
Did basically the same as in Adobe elements. Started 11:40 amd completed 11:53. And I had the full 27 minutes video in the file.
System stayed much more responsive. Itunes kept going. Checked the memorywhile rendering and it was around 350 mb usage and processor didnt reach 40%
For me personaly the winner is Movavi. I do not need all extra things that most likely are installed with the Adobe program since it is 4.1 gb vs 142 mb.
To be honest It looks and works a bit like iMovie so it had already an headstart vs Adobe. When you open the program there is no real thinking needed. The program understand me, no need for me to understand the program like Abobe.
We get there with the software. Now an sort of iPhoto program.
On the other hand the build in program is doing an pretty good job to. No real need to get other software for it.
