#2It would be nice to have a few more examples. The only example I see on the homepage is hidden in the video, both hard to see and not always visible.

Yes, I would recommend showing two images (before/after) instead of the video.
You could do more interactive stuff, like the common interface of moving a slider on the "before" image to reveal the "after" image. And that's nice, but it should be supplemental to the two images.
But take this advice with a grain of salt - after all, the video did cause me to spend more time on your site than if two images had immediately answered the question I was curious about.

100%, I also wonder what this would do to a regular non-screenshot photograph. Could be funky weird or funky cool.

#5Great results on the first attempt I did.
When I wanted to export the result in highest available resolution, it asked me to subscribe for $5/month. I only need 1 single screenshot, so I’m not going to subscribe, but I can see this being used by big newspaper companies. Good luck with your project!

#6I made a screenshot using this and it's pretty cool.

#7I'm sure you put a ton of work into this, so it's really unfortunate that I can barely tell what this really does or why we should care.
Also the "Ready to go pro?" thing seems very rushed and presumptuous. Like, I'm not even sure I'm ready to go "Free" yet

#8Why not skew, mask and blur with photoshop in 10 seconds?

you mean aside from the fact that it requires downloading a huge multi-purpose program that starts at $21/mo which is built for significantly more than just those features and the user must use a lot more brain space for what they want to be a simple task?

#10I can see how this is useful for laypeople. Those with a DIY attitude might resort to popular image editing tools. My choice would be trying to achieve this with Imagemagick. Fred Weinhaus' script http://www.fmwconcepts.com/imagemagick/skew/index.php and maybe adding a blur later.
