Excellent program for getting footage off of VHS. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Wil D. | Educator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 05, 2022 **What do you like best about Debut?** I like how simple it is and how well it captures the footage. It is easy to use software. **What do you dislike about Debut?** There isn't anything that I can think of that I dislike about it. **What problems is Debut solving and how is that benefiting you?** With past software for getting VHS footage the program would "kick off" easily if anything in the VHS footage was rough or the tape was damaged, even slightly. Debut does the job well and makes it easier on me. ### 2. Instant Video Recording at its best with Debut **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Syed M. | Student, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 21, 2021 **What do you like best about Debut?** I like the different options to record a video. I can record a video in .mp4, .wmv etc. There are different use of the different formats. I do work with video processing for my research and I can record any screen in .wmv format for programming purposes. Whereas I can record the video in .mp3 format for any presentation or assignment. The best thing is that there is no lagging in video with the voice captured with the default mic. **What do you dislike about Debut?** What I dislike the most is that this software does not allow you to switch off the camera when you want. Probably that is a paid privilege but it could have been added with the free service. But who counts it as a disadvantage? **Recommendations to others considering Debut:** I want to say that if your .mp4 format recording does not support the demo timeline, you can use another format (.wmv) and record and then convert the recording to .mp4 format. **What problems is Debut solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am solving the problem of recording my assignment which has to be recorded while keeping my camera on the screen. This software is almost lag-free and it is easy to operate. Hence, I choose this software over another fancy software. It also records the recorded videos in a separate file. It helps me to find out my recording in one place rather than searching it in different places all over my desktop. ### 3. Debut by NCH Rocks for Screen Recording **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 02, 2021 **What do you like best about Debut?** It's pretty intuitive - you're off and running quickly, with little downtime **What do you dislike about Debut?** It's not always obvious where it stores your videos, so you have to be on top of that. Just save each one where you want it, and don't rely on the default saving place. **Recommendations to others considering Debut:** Try it out first on a demo basis - there is a free trial period. Get to know it - it is very intuitive, so the learning curve is very short. Maybe find YouTube vids on using it first, then get the trial and get to know it. Likely you will keep it as it is very near perfect. **What problems is Debut solving and how is that benefiting you?** Quickly capture a screen sequence to practice it later or provide it as a training tool. It saves a lot of time as it is not intrusive. ### 4. Request for Money back or better tech support **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Edie L. | Owner operator **Reviewed Date:** November 10, 2021 **What do you like best about Debut?** I am very disappointed in the level of technical support. My Debut product used to work, but then stopped recording the microphone of my computer. It is not a computer problem, as I have no problem recording zoom meetings using the zoom record process. I have contacted customer support with the result that the response is disinterested and not helpful. **What do you dislike about Debut?** Your lack of tech support with no options for receiving my money back since the product does not work. **What problems is Debut solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have received no benefits -- not even the courtesy of a refund. ### 5. Review of Debut **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Marquisha L. | Business Process Associate- Bot Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 01, 2019 **What do you like best about Debut?** Overall I like the fact that the software is there for anyone who wants to use it. There's no hassle to getting debut, and it's simple enough to navigate. **What do you dislike about Debut?** I disliked that I wan't able to do a complete video edit. I feel that the trial of debut wasn't sufficient enough for the project that I used it for. Even though it did get the job done, I had to constantly switch computers and re download the software because it was used for a team project. I also didn't like that we could only export twice before we had to re download it. **Recommendations to others considering Debut:** Plan out your steps before you actually start working with the software, because you can only export so many times on one computer. **What problems is Debut solving and how is that benefiting you?** The software allowed the team I was working with to record the process of a bot that we created, and that allowed us to show it to the client the bot was created for. ## Debut Discussions - [Will Debut work on a Mac?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/will-debut-work-on-a-mac) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [Can Debut record a game from my PC?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/can-debut-record-a-game-from-my-pc) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [Can Debut capture mouse clicks for screen capture with visual and sound effect?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/can-debut-capture-mouse-clicks-for-screen-capture-with-visual-and-sound-effect) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [Can Debut capture sound?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/can-debut-capture-sound) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [View Debut pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/debut/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-06-24+03%3A31%3A25+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=07433271-2caa-4346-bed3-5711b3123730&secure%5Btoken%5D=e8423d3c7d6a3ef0cdc517d29efd205e3418d4f8978bb8c03dc5c71b0300f7f0&format=llm_user) ## Debut Features **Platform Basics** - Screen Capture - Video Capture - Image Editor **Platform Content** - Scrolling Capture - Screen Record **Platform Additional Functionality** - File Sharing **Agentic AI - Screen and Video Capture** - Autonomous Task Execution ## Top Debut Alternatives - [Snagit](https://www.g2.com/products/snagit/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (5,859 reviews) - [Camtasia](https://www.g2.com/products/camtasia/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (1,703 reviews) - [Zight](https://www.g2.com/products/zight/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (1,200 reviews)
