Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate Review

by

Disclosure: I received the product mentioned to facilitate my review. Regardless, all opinions are my own.
Video Converter
I have an issue – the videos from my digital camera aren’t compatible with my MAC. More importantly, they’re not compatible with iMovie. I’ve even had someone point out the video reviews I’ve done aren’t that great because, well, I’ve had to do them from my phone or iPad. The quality of video from my phone or iPad definitely DON’T compare to the quality I can get from my digital camera. Because I couldn’t get my videos to work with in iMovie, though, I couldn’t edit the videos from my digital camera. So unless they were perfect (yeah right!) I couldn’t use them.
I have tried multiple apps that say they convert the files, and I thought I found one that did what I needed – convert AVI to MP4. That seems simple enough! It didn’t, though! It would PLAY an AVI, but it wouldn’t convert it. It was nice to be able to watch my videos on my computer finally, but it still didn’t help with the issue of being able to edit my videos. Plus, it said it needed an update, and I’d have to pay ANOTHER $35.00 to update it after I already purchased the app! What??
So, needless to say I was eager to try Wondershare’s Video Converter Ultimate. It can convert video to 158 formats! That alone made me feel confident it could definitely do what I was needing! Wondershare is a leading consumer software company that offers a variety of programs for your needs. I obviously used the Video Converter Ultimate for MAC, though it is available for PC as well!
A couple of neat features it mentions on their website are:

  • Convert 30X faster than other converters
  • Convert video to 158 formats
  • Edit video even faster and easier
  • Download and capture web video with a click
  • Burn video to DVD disc, DVD folder, or to ISO files with ease
  • Equipped with the perfect desktop player – Wondershare Player.

I was able to load every AVI video file in my folder into the Video Converter Ultimate by simply selecting them all and dragging them into the program. I selected MP4 then clicked “convert.” It was that easy! It only took a couple of minutes and ALL of my videos were converted to MP4’s and saved in a new folder! Awesome! Then I was able to open them in iMovie! I haven’t had a chance to use ALL of the features because there are many, but I am definitely happy I now have a solution for my video problem!

CollageIt Pro Mother's Day Giveaway

by

Collage

I LOVE being able to make collages for so many reasons! For one, it’s not always easy to get all 3 kids in the same picture. In fact, it’s ridiculously difficult sometimes! I also love making collages because it saves space in my posts. I use CollageIt Pro for my picture collages for reviews and giveaways as well as personal posts! Instead of trying to figure out all the right code to get the pictures to sit next to each other nicely without bothering the text I just put them all in one picture! It has really simplified how I share pictures on my blog! Plus, the BIGGEST bonus for me? I can use it on my iMac! Good programs for Mac can be hard to come by! I LOVE that CollageIt Pro has a version for my Mac!
CollageIt Pro is an easy to use collage maker on Mac and Windows. It excels with its ease of use and hugely reduces manual work. CollageIt Pro is a TOP 10 Photography APP on the App Store! Here you can see some highlighted features:

  • Making collages is as easy as 1-2-3 with only 3 steps, choose template -> add photos & customize -> export collage.
  • Various layouts and diverse templates.
  • Easily personalize collage by cropping, adjusting photo number, photo space, page margin, rotation, sparse, and so on.
  • Save collage as an image file; set as desktop wallpaper; share through Email; or print it out.

You can also add text! That was a huge bonus for me as well! I love varying the backgrounds and adding text! Here are a few of my most recent collages made with CollageIt Pro:
