1-It only opens "TDV" Files however you still can import other types of files photos and videos .

2- once you install it , avoid the red button of recording and click on the blue one next which says create blank movie .
3-Click on the up top left 3 black lines to open the menu , Click on settings , then uncheck the " Automatically check for updates " Option .

4- look down the menu on the left , there are two dots like buttons , one black and one white , click on the white one , then click on the "Enter Activation Code " Click ok . you will get an error message Don't worry at all , just click continue using the app , it's already registered to giveawayoftheday

5- when you close and open the software again , go to the settings to check whether the automatic update is still unchecked or returned to be checked again , since this happened to me . and make sure it's unchecked .

6- There is actually a newer version 1.0.0.37 but if you went into updating it your software will turn into a trial version then your current version will not work again unless you buy the new version .

Tanita, the folks behind Video Detailer, are very forthright when they say in their ad copy: "Video Detailer is an elegant, easy-to-use tool for making videos of all sorts for those who don’t want the complexity of applications that are difficult to learn." They don't pretend that Video Detailer is a full NLE [Non Linear (video/audio) Editor], which is fine, and an NLE does take some learning. OTOH, when they sort of imply that you can do everything that you can with a good NLE, that's a bit misleading. You could for example create a respectable YouTube video, but it's not really going to compare with the work done by pros making money from YouTube using a full NLE. Personally I'd classify Video Detailer as a cheaper alternative to the popular Camtasia -- one that also focuses on importing video.

That said, you can get an NLE much cheaper. DaVinci Resolve is free. Corel's VideoStudio Pro usually winds up on sale for around $25 towards the end of a version's shelf life, as Corel gets ready to release the next version. The same for Nero Ultimate, which include a NLE. But they all, especially Resolve, do take some learning.

It should be very helpful to mention, that the GOTD-zip was renewed.
Just after start of the GOTD-periode I dowloaded the ZIP and in the Readme was a short code and the text, that it was selfregistring. (and install the software using the Setup.exe file, the program is automatically registered if you install it on the day of the giveaway.)
Now I read that there is a long code, so I downloaded it again and the Zip is different.
Place a posting if you alter the ZIP with a better one.

ERROR
"This program can only be installed on versions of windows designed for the following processor architectures: x64"

The per-requisite for installation said Windows 7/8/8.1/10
It was only natural to assume that windows 7 32 or 64 bits would not be a problem. Why this negligence or non-professionalism in product development? Attention to details is vital in software development.

I love the promise of the software and would ave loved to try it out. But ....uninstalled.

Thanks a lot all the same GAOTD and Developers

Installed and activated OK but when I click on Record screen I get a popup message saying Exception EOverflow in module nvwgf2umx.dll at 000000000096AD6C. Floating point overflow.
