Kinda buggy – if you select an effect, you have to close the application and reopen in order to get back to the video screen. Once an effect is selected, it can never be turned off.
Seems to have a lot of potential.
I’ve installed the cheese, but the system doesn’t recognize my device..
Great =) Thanks =)
thanks, your amazing. i love you 🙂
