Are they any good? Was nightcast really made with them? They look limiting and stupid.

I don't know about nightcast, but all I've heard is that they are easy to use, but don't look very realistic.

I've heard you don't need anything from FXHome if you have a good editor like Premiere/Vegas/or Final Cut. It has basic stuff from these programs and makes it look like it hi-tech.

jesus well if any of u would download the demo's of the fxhome software then sheesh you wouldnt have to blather a whole load of cr** about what you 'hearsay'

My tuppence is that its pretty good software, but that even though there accessible to use, still require a level of skill and patience to make the effects look as good as for example NightCast

Judging from the posts, I'd assume most of you haven't even tried the fxhome software (or very early versions like AlamDV).

I would suggest actually downloading some of the demos and try and you'll find out they're easily as powerful as some of the big compositing apps and can do way more then any NLE. But as with every other software, you need to be somewhat good with it. This is where fxhome's easy-to-use interface comes in.

I like FXHome stuff. It is well priced compared to other products. As others have said give the demos a try.

i tried the trials and it reminds me of a camera with manual control hidden in a touch screen menu system. They are frusturating to me. But was nightcast really made with them?

Yeah, I've never tried them but heard stuff about them, I'll prob download a demo soon.

Well, interfaces are a subjective thing of course. Some really like a certain type of interface, others don't (Shake has a terrible interface to me, but a lot of people like it)

Regardless of the interface though, there's powerful features beneath them that can compete with a lot of product priced at about 5 or 10 times the money.

I think FXHome products are kinda limiting, unless u want to do something really quickly, and ur not trying to do new things, but its kinda hard to get used to, after playing around with difforent kinds of software.
