What do you like best about VSDC Free Video Editor?

This is a decent alternative to other free video editors. I like 2 things about it:

1) you can select areas on the screen where you want to apply special effects and leave he rest of the video untouched.

2) its non-linear format, meaning you can place objects in any position on the timeline and with any size. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VSDC Free Video Editor?

Hard to use as it is not as intuitive but with a proper video tutorial you will be able to get passed that learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is VSDC Free Video Editor solving and how is that benefiting you?

It’s free to use which is a big plus. The 2 major things I liked and listed above which are very unique to this editor are the non-linear timeline aspect and the ability to select part of the screen for special effects to be applied. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about VSDC Free Video Editor?

The simplicity of the interface is one of the best features. The visual icons are well defined and allow even the most novice user to create a video project with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VSDC Free Video Editor?

I found the video effects a bit lacking in creativity and style. It would be nice to have some more advanced features included in the free version such as multiple camera editing and motion tracking. I also hate that the playback is no in the main window. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is VSDC Free Video Editor solving and how is that benefiting you?

The software has allowed me to produce some professional development videos for my company and the clients I service. I do not have a big budget for high price software and this allowed me to have the educational value without the big price tag. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about VSDC Free Video Editor?

Very user friendly, does not require specialized hardware to operate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VSDC Free Video Editor?

The voice-over feature has been buggy for me in the past Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering VSDC Free Video Editor:

Definitely recommend going through the tutorial prior to using - though it is user-friendly, I needed the additional guidance. The tabs and navigation bar are similar to Word, which is great. Additionally, the newest update has an automatic back-up feature for the current project, which I've found helpful as my laptop has a habit of dying without notice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is VSDC Free Video Editor solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's helping me do my job much more efficiently, which saves time and yields to more productivity overall. It's helping me reach a larger audience with my videos because I can edit and publish content faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about VSDC Free Video Editor?

I appreciate the fact that it’s easy to sort your project into multiple scenes, and that a significant number of file formats are supported for both importing and exporting. It’s also nice to see such a customizable editor—you can add and remove elements at your leisure. There are some neat effects, too: TV effects allow you to simulate old-style TV signals, and the Instagram-like filters are well-executed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VSDC Free Video Editor?

This software comes with some serious limitations, though. For example, you cannot preview a video right in the editor. When you click play to preview, it opens the video in Windows Media Player. Furthermore, previewing and exporting is extremely slow with 4K video in the free version. In fact, it’s so slow that it’s not really practical to edit 4K video. This is because the free version does not enable hardware acceleration, the most efficient way to process your video. You’ll have to pay for that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering VSDC Free Video Editor:

VSDC offers some persuasive advantages over other video editing tools available for Apple Mac. It not only includes basic video editing tools but also provides various advanced video effects for you to apply

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is VSDC Free Video Editor solving and how is that benefiting you?

It’s great to see a free video editor with so many features, but unfortunately some limitations like the inability to preview directly in the editing view make VSDC difficult to recommend. That’s especially true when other free video editing software doesn’t have these same restrictions. Most people would be better off trading the extra features for more efficient basics.

What do you like best about VSDC Free Video Editor?

Works pretty good considering that it is a free program. There is a cool little tutorial in the beginning to show you what each of the top features are. I watched all of them and it was informative. I am a beginner when it comes to video editing so I wanted to use this program to create charts and slideshows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VSDC Free Video Editor?

So far there is nothing I dislike, although, I am not a "video editing" pro to really fully understand what some of the shortfalls of this program is. Perhaps once I am more seasoned I'll realize more and understand the tools that I will need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is VSDC Free Video Editor solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am creating charts and dynamic models for meetings and I also use the slideshow feature to create videos for our website, showcasing our products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about VSDC Free Video Editor?

I liked that the platform was easy to navigate and figure out. It didn’t take longer than an hour or so to really feel comfortable with the program - editing and exporting especially. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VSDC Free Video Editor?

Even though it’s fairly easy to get around the program as a newbie, I still think the platform could be updated to match other “well-known” softwares for video editing. It’s just a cosmetic thing - nothing really preventing editing and exporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about VSDC Free Video Editor?

For a free program, there is a rediculous amount of stuff you can do with this! I first was drawn to it for the Chroma Key function that was not available in the other programs I was using. This allowed me to begin my jump into green screen work! The program is not simple, making it clear that there is more involved in it than meets the eye. I really enjoy the effects list, and the timeline editing for both video and audio! The masking tool allows for a ton of function that is often only found in expensive programs! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VSDC Free Video Editor?

I am not sure if there is anything I "dislike" about this program... sometimes it has its glitches, or crashes, but that has more to do with the system you are running it on! My adobe suite has the same issues! I would love to see more tutorials out there on how to use this program to it's fullest potential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering VSDC Free Video Editor:

This is a free competitor to the expensive Adobe programs! If you have the skills needed to use a program like this, I believe that you can produce just as high of quality results in VSDC as any other program out there! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is VSDC Free Video Editor solving and how is that benefiting you?

Add campaigns, bumper videos, interviews, music videos, announcement videos, animation overlays for youth videos, and screen capture tutorial videos to teach people about new things our organization is using to connect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easy it is to procede to basic operations thanks to intuitive interface:

Cutting, merging or correction are simple to execute and the tools bar is taylored in a way that suggests the a widely spread possibillities for the user.

Althought quite simple to use and to master the features seems to be redundant specially for special effects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
