It was not so easy to download the software (instructions should include a link to how to download). It is extremely easy to use and works well.

I needed something that would allow me to capture gameplay and discord comments from the team. The idea is to edit the video for posting to the team on Youtube. I went through and tested a bunch of different capture software. This is easy to configure. I capture gameplay from World of Warships while our Team, using discord, shall we say offers helpful hints to team members. Would I recommend this product? Yep! Already did and now my brother uses the same software. Just remember, this is video capture software not video edit. That is a very different product and skill set.

I am rating the Debut Video Capture Software for Mac, which I had purchased directly from the company. I never did locate it on Amazon even though I was searching for a package to support multiple USB-based microscopes that I did purchase on Amazon. I am not now nor have I ever been compensated for a review, and I do not blindly rate an item either a 5 or a 1 with no ratings in between.

NCH would really like you to buy more of their software products, and they offer discounts if you add them now, or buy them within a certain period of time, like four hours. I am very wary of those offers since a good deal is hard to determine under the duress of a deadline. So, I've only purchased this package so far.

What I have tried so far I like more than any of the dozen or so packages I have assessed. My use case is support for multiple USB microscopes, such as the Pluggable 2MP and the Koolertron 5MP microscopes. This is a good test case because one identifies itself as a USB microscope and the later identifies itself as a Digital microscope. Each product comes with included minimalist software to get you started, but I didn't want to use a different package for each scope, and the Koolertron software would not work with my other 'scopes. Be aware the software provided with each of these scopes is generally available on the Internet without charge, but they are sometimes coded to only work with the specific name given to the device (USB versus Digital).

First, I was impressed that the Free (Trial?) Version of Debut identified both of my USB-based microscopes immediately. Where the Pluggable-provided Digital Viewer for Mac would not increase my snapshot resolution above 640x480, the Debut software was taking pictures immediately at 1600x1200 without changing any settings. It was the same with the Koolertron camera, identifying and using the highest resolution of the 5MP camera by default.

Second, the software is very stable. I've seen other reviews for Digital Viewer and MicrControl Plus that suggest people are having stability problems on the Mac (I do not see that issue with those products) and Debut seems to work quite nicely and without any odd delays.

Third, I use this mostly to snapshots of microscope renderings and it's nice to have both single-shot and time-lapse readily available. As with many packages like this (even the free ones), it included features like on-screen titles and timestamps and the usual sets of image adjustments.

One concern is the software identifies my 2MP as 30fps at its highest resolution, so I need to test to see if it scales that back to the correct 7fps the camera supports. I am also posting a Mac review under a Windows software package. That is because the link in the NCH Debut software brought me to this page, so perhaps that's why I never found the Mac version on Amazon - it might not be here.

This software works very well for what I need it for. The lip sync is a little off, but that is ok for my needs, it might not be ok for the needs of others. Sound quality is good, picture quality is good as well. I've only used this for 2 days, I'm sure there may be remedies to improve quality, so far, this is great software!

NCH Debut Video Capture is a great tool for capturing a video of whatever you send to your computer screen. I use Notion 6 to write music notation, which plays the notation note by note on the screen with sound. NCH Debut Video Capture captures what is on the screen and creates an mp4 video of it (other file formats as well). I can then send the video home with a music student for practice. I also bought Video Pad Editor direct from NCH to trim the video to a better length. NCH also has other tools that you may find useful, such as Prism Video File Convertor, Express Burn Disc Burning Software, and WavePad Sound Editor. My only shortcoming so far is overcoming the learning curve of how to use it. The good news is - the user manual/instructions are extensive and there is a lot of tutoring help online and on YouTube.
