Melon Reviews

Summary: Graphic Menus not organized well for making changes on the fly. Overall though a great and inspiring experience if you don't need to worry about too much interaction with the menus while recording.
Match this to Riverside, which has to be the most boring experience, and Melon the winner by far. I also use Streamyard and Restream and I would put Streamyard 1st followed by Melon and last Restream (because of the huge, more than a quarter of the screen) amount of space taken up by the watermark. Even on the standard plan. Riverside has good pricing and resolution on the lower tier plan but no graphics while recording. You'd have to add them after. I want to do as little as possible in post.

Positive: Supplied Art (lots) especially compared to Streamyard.
Solo person layouts reveal some of the background which is a plus for mood|branding.
Can choose Fonts.
Can move logo freely.
Lots of background choices.

Negative: Changing info on screen while recording. There are so many options it's good and bad. The menus would need to be organized and concentrated somehow to make them easier to get at more quickly and confidently. Therefore only 4 stars.
