Our Verdict
Coding Robots’Video Mémoires 1.0is a diary program with a canonical readiness of features to help oneself traverse your video recording entries on a daily groundwork .
Video Mémoires work with your Mac ’s build - in iSight or attached Webcam . When you ’re ready to record a journal submission , you plainly iron out the Record clitoris . The program gives you a three - second countdown before it starts read so you could get ready .
When you ’re done , press the Done push button , and Video Mémoires saves the video under the day ’s date , which is Video Mémoires key lineament . In the package ’s master user interface ( it looks a lot like the developer’sMémoiresjournal package ) , there is a calendar on the upper remaining side . select a date , and you see that day ’s associated videos listed below the calendar , and you could play back any of the videos listed .
Video Mémoires features are minimal . you’re able to add together titles to your videos , and the programme has a search field that bases its resultant on those titles . Many of the shaft detect under the Edit card ( such as a spelling and grammar deterrent , make all upper event , or the power to have the information processing system read aloud what ’s save ) use only to the title . you could also edit TV entries .
If you desire to export a television , all you have to do is fall into place and drag the video from its listing under the calendar to your desktop or other folder . On my 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo iMac , Video Mémoires recorded video at 640 - by-480 resolution , and hold open them in H.264 formatting . Video Mémoires stores recording in ~/Library / program Support / Video Mémoires / Records , which is store on your main intemperate drive . I imagine that over time , this folder would start to get very big with your save videos and take up valuable hard drive space . Hopefully , succeeding interlingual rendition of Video Mémoires will allow you to point where you need to spare videos , like on an extraneous hard drive .
There are two more feature film I do trust to see in future press release . The first is the ability to import your own picture . The way Video Mémoires is set up now , you ’re limited to record through your Webcam , which , actually , keeps the software program true to the thought of it being used as a daily TV diary . But for those clip you ca n’t be in front of your Webcam ( say , while on a stumble ) , it would be nice to be able to import television . The other feature I ’d wish is an power to hang on written tone to a clip . This would help oneself with the hunt capability . For example , if you were successful in keep a video daybook daily for a year , you ’d have well over 300 videos in Video Mémoires ’ library , and searching those videos only through the title field of operations is n’t give way to help you ascertain what you are front for .
This is version 1.0 of the software , and while Video Mémoires is a very basic programme , for me it ran without any problem . It has a good premise , and if all you want is to be able to easily sit and record a day-to-day journal and be able to quickly get at past entries , Video Mémoires can do the job .
