    PROS: Extract individual elements of SWF file. View source code. Easy to understand interface. Export elements to multiple file formats.
    CONS: Cannot work with password protected files. Not many features for the price. Learning curve is a little steep. Decompiled source code can be difficult to understand.

    CONS: Large batch watermarking takes a long time. User interface is somewhat clunky. Some basic options are hidden in sub-menus. Not as powerful as Photoshop or GIMP.

    CONS: A significant amount of memory (415.4 megabytes) is needed. The application may freeze during installation. No advanced editing features are available. It is not possible to upload personalised or third-party templates.
  8. PROS: High customisation; change anything from colours to blur effects. Screenshots can be exported to PNG or JPG format. Small price is highly preferable to hiring an expensive professional. Save your user settings as a template for later.
    CONS: Only for mobile devices; not available for desktop. Some may prefer to pay for professional service if they don't have time or patience. Price only worth it if you're passionate about creating your own material. Takes some concentration to get the hang of each setting.
