CamooZ - Save & restore camera settings

Semi-free CamooZ - Save & restore camera settings 7.4.2

I've had some problems in the past with managing two C920 webcams under the same machine, but I am not sure if it's the problem of this tool or not.

Either way I've used this for 2 years after moving my streaming away from Linux (and its superior awesome V4L2 cli controls) and it gets the job done. Hell, I've bought this twice to support the guy.

In my older review I gave 5 stars to application, but after author decided to make money and released "semi-free" version that is crippled to unusable state, he lost two stars from me. He took advantage on people who helped him debug and improve application because it was free.

Most of the reviews here are posted while actually free versions were available.

Try to find version 6.8. That is the last actually free, fully functional version. Not polished as current version but more than good enough.
Missing support for changing FOV for Logitech brio cams
Had been trying to follow this project since it's release. It was always freeze and crash every single time I opened OBS. However, my settings would at least save so that when I needed to take my Laptop elsewhere and thus have to unplug the cam(s) I could at least have the settings there for when I got back to studio. Now, with the update there's a paywall in order to simply keep that feature with a still crashing program? I'll make do without then. Appreciate what you were trying to allow us to have usage of while it was. Wish you the best.

As you will have seen from the huge amount of other posts here, from eight 5-star ratings and from reviews done by people like EposVox with his 315k followers (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJCGuSHM6FM&t=126s): you're amongst a few who're having issues.

Your use case is exactly what EposVox demonstrates: he fine tunes cam settings and shows the changes live in his OBS. So have you considered that there is a chance that something is wrong with your setup? Like an orphaned or poorly programmed driver reporting back incorrectly?

And your attitude wasn't helpful either: see, other users simply asked for support, which they got - for free so far, and I managed to fix all (!) of the issues. So, what is it you want? Just tell people that the countless number of hours of work I invested aren't worth 5 bloody bucks?

Here is my peace offer: tell and show me exactly what kind of crash you encounter and I'll do my best to fix that one as well.
Wasn't going to leave a review until I saw the piss poor way this guy responded to a single piece of criticism from somebody who was actually being friendly and trying to explain his issue (undergrounddance's review).

I'm sure this product is good and you can do a heck of a lot with it when properly configured, however the "when properly configured" caveat makes it pretty rough. Out the gates it's not recognizing really any camera of mine besides a single USB cam, it's incredibly clunky and slow, and all I'm left with is a slightly upgraded UI from what comes pre-packaged with OBS.

I'm sure saving is fantastic, but this can easily be achieved by setting up multiple capture devices in OBS and just...creating a backup of your config. Really hits the $5 price point for a save button where it hurts when you think about it this way. It seems like you've got a good thing here and frankly I believe that for some folks it may even be worth the money, but overall if something is unstable like this I don't care to fix it myself if it's just gonna ask me for money.

Before you say something about my drivers or whatever else, I have paid meticulous attention to my PC's build and its configuration, I fought hard for this thing to run as optimally as it possibly could and I can say with certainty that my system doesn't have some issue that malforms the program, it's a bug on your end. Good reviews do not mean your product is stable, it just means it works well for a bulk of users. This is a good thing, yes, but using that as a source of arrogance like you did in your reply to a negative review is astounding. It seems you take pride in your work, which is great, but that's not an excuse to disregard valid concerns and throw them in the user's face.

I'll be sticking with the editor that's bundled with OBS, there are plenty of ways to get the result I want without the hassle of fixing someone else's software just to have it tell me to cough up cash.
