A con

The software I just bought and downloaded bears NO resemblance to the pictures above. It is an ugly UI, with unusable controls, no functionality, it stutters to a halt when you stop the video playing, the AI “subtitles” are wildly inaccurate and unusable. This feels like a student project that someone has decided to sell, using generated screengrabs. Avoid.
