This error is common among new users. It displays a yellow watermark after exporting the file, which can be quite disruptive. Here's the fix:
The yellow text typically signifies the use of an unofficial version of ProShow Producer. To resolve this, find and activate the full version of the software.
When exporting a video file, you may encounter an "ILLEGALLY" watermark on your output. This can diminish the visual appeal of your work.
To eliminate this watermark, navigate to the ProShow Producer installation directory. Delete the proshow.cfg and proshow.phd files to reset the software.
If you're having trouble adding music to your slides, don't worry! There are solutions available.
