Great work, James. I had a good play, and made the following notes - feel free to take on / ignore / rebut at will:
1) I know I mistyped my email first time around, but even with the second attempt, the round-trip of the email confirm was lengthy. Not condusive to quickly getting people using the site. Considered OAuth for pain-free / instant login? 2) Reordering the slides. Fairly important. Since your target market doesn't know exactly what they want, they are in serious 'experiment' mode. Even after the first slide you add, you quickly realise that it's locked in place - for example, I had to copy the text (and I saved it into to a text file), then deleted a scene from the middle of the pack, re-added it to the end, and pasted my text back in - which could have all been a 'simple' reordering. No doubt there's a damn fine technical reason why it's not simple at all... 3) Colours: I set my colours for what I thought was the project, but it was only for the first scene. Since the colour picker itself never changes, it's only after rendering (almost an hour later) that I see that the colour choices are per slide... 4) Section preview: no need to use my actual rendered content, but it would be great to show each of the 5-second scenes as a playable video, with your default text, to truly get the idea of the motion, speed, emphasis, etc... 5) Um... the payment model. Slightly unexpected, and definitely not stated anywhere up front. Not unrealistic! Just if you're going to offer such a smart service, and have someone take the time/get excited/eagerly await the result... To have it watermarked is... fine. To offer to remove the watermark for an unspecified price - felt rough. My suggestion would be to a) declare more of this type of info upfront, and b) go the true freemium model, and give away x% for free in order to have y% pay. If the 'free' was the video, with a clear **but restrained** watermark, that would be a great tradeoff. The current watermark is a showstopper. Thanks James. Awesome concept. I'll follow along with interest! AB On Tuesday, February 4, 2014 12:47:34 PM UTC+11, James Macgregor wrote: > > We'll be adding some scene styles for adding your own images in the coming > weeks.
