Unlock the power of video with a single click

Good concept but unreliable execution.
The automatic “shorts” it creates are often rife with strange edits that make no coherent sense. The automated captioning popping up as bullet points for every single sentence spoken, is really strange and over the top. One would think the AI would be directed to Paraphrase or summarize the content. spoken in the video - rather than just display it verbatim as text.

I upgraded to Tier 2 in order to be able to auto edit a 60 minute work video session. I regret my choices and can’t even request a refund as I had purchased Tier 1 over 30 days ago.

I originally bought two separate licenses of OneTake T3 in the previous AppSumo sale for myself and business partner. I had high hopes for this to improve, but unfortunately it has not. The processing speed has been unusable at many points and the processing quality is all over the board.
The fact that OneTake is needing to take another bite of the LTD apple is also a fairly bad sign from previous experience. I can only assume the processing speed and other anomalies are from running short of the large sums of money needed to process huge sums of data, so they have cut outlays to remain viable.
Personally I would warn any new buyers away from this software. If it was still around in 2 years, running on a sustainable MRR path, I would honestly be shocked. Definitely a buyer beware on this purchase.

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY! !! I know anything Video & AI are hot now.....But there are many, many products all doing the same thing, better and cheaper.
I have been appsumo plus member since it came out and I dont even know how many deals I have bought hundreds and hundreds - and never left a bad review. If a company went out of business I just took the loss and said...well they couldn't help that. But for a company to blatantly ignore support and continue to try to push garbage. Well that is unacceptable.

I bought this in Feb I believe. And then later saw the email about it and bought 2 more....
I contacted their support to ask "Should I refund them all and repurchase 3 teir?"
I opened a ticket with URGENT marking as the appsumo deal was going to end.

They did not respond in time, I figured because of their being busy with all the appsumolings.
So I was patient. They did responded with some canned response. But after hearing the issue said they would fix this. They would have dev do it tomorrow.

That was april 5.

They apparently are too busy writing me sales emails to fix the stuff support promised. So in the 7 months that passed I have received 86 emails from them....all sales pitches. They even have the nerve to send a few asking for 5 star reviews! REALLY do you know who gets 5 Stars Sabastian?
PEOPLE WHO DO A GREAT JOB AT GREAT PRICE !
NOT people who ignore support, make promises they don't deliver and constantly trying to pitch people more junk or churn out new sales when obviously can not handle the current work load. You should spend time on fixing your problems instead of trying to get people to give undeserved reviews.

So you can imagine my surprise when they were featured on Black Friday! I reviewed the support's last response...yep still not done. And I even gave them and email to support with another chance to fix their previously unresolved issue for 7 months....
Of course not even answered.
I was even considering purchasing the 5 tier if they had just done what they said....but as with other support...they didn't have time for paying customers...only to push it on unsuspecting newbies.

This is their MO look at the other reviews. I am beyond my refund period but you still have a chance not to make the same mistake....
Unless you hate your money and want to be disappointed, then buy this and get what you get.
(Some people have to learn the hard way... I know - I didn't look at their reviews either now I got screwed)
:(

AND APPSUMO WHY CANT WE PUT NO STARS?!!

I really wanted to like this. I messaged support because I couldn't remove their watermark on tier 1. Support said they only take watermarks off on tier 3. They were kind enough to say they'd give me an upgrade to resolve, but it didn't work and I could get the watermark off, resulting a waste of 2 hours of tinkering.

The video itself looked pretty good, except that it is very complicated to trim (a pretty basic feature).

No real editing options or control on how things pop up. Even worse they wont stop emailing you when you refund. I got this at a fraction of the price and hardly refund anything but the quality was so bad I had no choice. People I have talked to have regretted keeping it and have even stated it feels abandoned.

I see I am not the only one with a bad experience

Frankly this seems to be an abandoned project. The core function are doing the basic of what they are supposed to do even if there is room for improvement I would be ok with that.

1. Downloading a fully edited video using MP4. The video is missing so completely useless. You get the soundtrack with the template and transcript no video

2. The branding does not work and I am tier 3

3. Support is inexistant

4. And now I can't even upload new videos

Unfortunate while I can see why some might need better output. For my needs for the few times I could use it successfully It filled my needs.
I now see this project as money in the wind

Close to fully Stacked this one.
Maybe on the rebound this one will be fun.
So Far Not fun and not polished as you have to be 95% camera ready for this to work.
Also the blocking is substandard so unless just a talking head with a teleprompter 99% of the time you will have to go back an reedit using your ROUGH to fill in the missed blocking and
correct where the AI missed corrections.
Doing the "EASY" edit on transcript looses all the time marks for video so like they suggest stick with complex edit on transcript.
This has a great concept however IMHO only truly usable for those that when they shoot are using teleprompter and need only 5% edit on their video, and even those people may run into a blocking problem.

Okay so why three tacos then you ask. Even with the VAST room for improvement this program does what it says it is going to do. Sort of.

My bet is that if it is offered again it may be worth taking a look at. I'm holding on to my LTD as I will only refund product that totally do not work, are misrepresented, or find don't meet my needs at all. Unfortunately I'm at the 10% use at the moment. If I was a better video producer to start with this would be perfect for me.

If you see this again and you are doing scripted videos with centered graphics you may want to give this a try. Also I'm almost certain there is subscription service available right now if you want, but as of now this program does not meet my needs. #bdv

I was patient and gave OneTake AI a chance to improve. Sadly after months, it has not.

The program just reformats an automatic subtitle in a more creative than the traditional subtitle box at the bottom of a video. I was of the assumption it would create summaries or variations of talking points, rather than just list every word from the transcription in bullet-point format.

But the most frustrating...if I can even get a video to upload to the network, it might begin the conversion process so it can be edited. And if I'm really really lucky, it will actually export the final product into a mp4 video format that I can use.
(This has actually only happened once, however.)

The odds of successfully creating and exporting a video with this platform is as likely as winning the Powerball.

If I could get my money back, I would for sure.

There is potential, but I'm not sure why the creators haven't make the necessary moves to improve the product.

It's literally just transcribing and adding word by word in a presentation format. At first, I thought it would use AI to create a summary and add supporting bullet points, but all bullet points are literally just a transcript. Then in editing mode, just gets harder from there. Disappointed and got credits for nothing. Before really trying the system out, I had a customer that could use such a system, signed up for the referral program, then another brand appears. Just disappointed.

Don't be fooled by all those 5 taco reviews, they all received incentive (free subpar course) to rate this software as a top software and the ones that felt like less than 5 tacos they were advised to use their internal feedback system. They are great at marketing and sales but failed short at software development AND support.

I raised a ticked in their clunky (at least) support chat, and received a response after a month and a second message. Responded to their request to send them the video, waited for another half a month for them to provide a "solution" that was not even related to the problem.

My issue with One Take AI is the non-existent support and the mp4 export that freezes for a fraction of a second (noticeable) with any video transition (new bullet point, screen swap, etc.). I am no creator, wanted to test this out for marketing and sales purposes, had one project so far, haven't used the platform much but can imagine only how much more of a time would be wasted on this software that boast to be a one click solution.

Hoping my investment will pay off but I'd avoid this for now as it's not ready for the public. Again, bravo to the team for your marketing and sales efforts, they have been outstanding, hence the 240+ reviews and >4.5 taco rating... software development, not that much.

I am loving my experience. I use all the different layouts, I let it pick the colors because that is not my strengths. I use it to post on YouTube, my socials and FB group. I do a lot of short videos. I also used One Take to create my VSL (Video Sales Letters) for my website.
My biggest issues is sometimes it gets glichey and I have to rerecord because it locks up.
I am waiting on Gaze correction and teleprompter to create my course material
Thank you Sabastain for all the work you all do and the updates you give us.

I really like the concept of OneTake AI but there were too many issues and limitations that made it non-viable for my applications.

Main issues:

- Language translation: this is highly limited if you are offering any external services because it requires the subject to record specific words and phrases for the AI to reproduce the voice and lip sync. This is logical and understandable but highly limited for any video editors that will never have that content to provide. As an editor, I could provide four hours of content reference for AI to process and understand voice tonality and replication from a single subject - but I don't have the specific words they want - so language translation won't work for me.

- The onscreen text that, at a glance, might look like bullet points in some situations seem to be a direct transcription. I'd honestly much rather have bullet points in those specific visual presentations. When I tried to edit the text for on-screen options, my footage would have either lost sync - or edits out footage that I didn't want removed.

- There's a "made with OneTake AI" that is built into each video created that doesn't seem to be removable. For lots of applications, this is a non-starter.

Overall, this might be a great match for a lot of people but definitely not for my use case and application.
