VSDC is nice but ... I use the Pro version but I am not a regular video maker. Mostly I make animations with 3D renders which is easy and straight forward. The VSDC instruction videos could be more focused on beginners with another teacher. When making a video clip of photos it is done in 6 seconds, only when you try to adjust things .... then you realise MS Clipchamp is way better.

Jesus Christ I love this software Jesus Christ I love this software. I was looking for a lightweight video editor a few years ago and all the "popular options" either had unbelievable number of restrictions or just insanely high prices for the full featured version. And then I discovered VSDC from a YouTube video and I fell in love with video editing again. I used the free edition for almost a year and used it with no issues whatsoever. (I have a very crappy laptop and that tells something about the how good this is) And then I learned about Bezier curves and visual audio wavelength in the timeline being available in the Pro version, I jumped at the deal. Like 20 bucks for an entire year of this godly software is the most absurdly killer deal I've ever seen. I even found the coupon code that brought it down to about 10 bucks. Gotta say, when VSDC released proxy media file support in an update it became even easier and smoother to use. I definitely recommend VSDC and VSDC Pro is absolutely worth it. The support from the team and especially the reddit and YouTube community is amazing!

Worth its entire cost! (i.e., nothing) Requires installation of an MP4 codec, but doesn't tell you. If you try recording without it, you get an error with no indication of what is wrong. Screen recordings have horrible flicker, rendering them unwatchable. I've tried both monitors using various settings, and the flickering persists. Good luck getting help online. Their FAQ page is about as short as Trump's list of qualifications. It literally devotes more space to a couple of worthless images than to the actual questions and answers. On top of that, it froze on me within the first 15 minutes of use. Garbage.

Runs like S- tho. VSDC is quite complex. Runs like S- tho. Especially since they "updated" their software, can't even run a 720p MP4 without lag. Very good for 360p video. Basically good for low resolution meme compilations. Avoid it

Still learning, but loving this tool I have been using VSDC's Video Editor for a few years now. I knew ZERO before starting out with this. It was fairly easy to learn the basics, and I am still discovering and learning to use new features every time I use it. There is so much here that I still know nothing about. I absolutely still consider myself a beginner, but look forward to exploring everything this program has to offer. It's a great easy-to-use program for people like me, and I can only imagine what a more experienced and knowledgeable editor could do with it.
