Very nice app. Had some trouble with playback, but figured it out. Would like to see the same controls from the Windows version (clipping ease, etc)

Finally!!!!

I’ve been waiting for a while for a Macintosh version. I’m very happy that it has arrived. I was getting tired of using VMware Fusion to run Windows, just for the sole purpose of running the windows version of this software for our security personnel. Thank you VideoInsight!
