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!

Truly free but a bit overcomplicated I have been using VSDC video editor for years now. I'm free user, and free version has everything I ever needed. You can use vast choice of options and possibilities for even a pro editing. Downside, at least for me, is that this software is a bit too overcomplicated. Some ordinary operations require too much time and patience. You can easily get lost in dozens of icons, options, possibilities. All in all, it's good choice for free users that have enough patience to master this software.

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.

Nice software, but jagged looking video I really like the layout, timeline and options available. Pretty impressive for free software. But, I can't get any final projects to look good. I do have a brand new Lenovo i-7 too. The videos come out looking jagged. I've spent hours changing resolutions, frame rates, deinterlacing etc. Even exported to different projects like, PC, Web, AVI, MPG, MPG4. No luck. Customer support has been great, as they always responded quickly with several suggestions. Ten years ago, my old Mac iMovie would create flawless DVDs with converted RAW home footage. In this day and age, you would thing video editing would be easier. Anyone else have the same issue?

Here we go again Here we go again. 1 short video recorded on a bridge camera. 1 small section removed. Cannot export in usable format as "you have used hardware acceleration" (I have no idea what that means) & need to buy the PRO version. I downloaded VSDC FREE video editor to do this simple video edit & am absolutely not encouraged to buy it because of this catch 22 - if it had worked, that might well have been different.
