Our editor is a non-linear tool. This means that unlike in most other editors, where scenes come one after another in a linear sequence and certain order, our software allows objects to be placed in any position on the timeline and have any size. Besides, various parameters, shape and position of objects can change arbitrarily over time.
You can apply various visual and audio effects to your videos to achieve the necessary result. Since the number of available visual effect is very high, they are split into five categories for ease of navigation: color correction, object transformation, object filters, transition effects and special fx.
One more way of changing the look of your video image according to your preferences is color blending. Using a wide array of adjustable parameters, you can attach a unique professional style to your video. Newbies or those, who would like to save time, can benefit from stylish Instagram-like filters applied in one click.
VSDC Free Video Editor allows for creating different shaped masks for hiding, blurring or highlighting certain elements in your video. You can use it to apply special effects inside or outside the masked area. One of the most common reasons for masking are to blur a face to protect the identity or remove unwanted marks.
To prepare a video for Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter and Vimeo without any problems, VSDC Free Video Editor offers you special export profiles which significantly reduce the stress of selecting a suitable format and meeting all the requirements.
VSDC is currently the only free video editor that allows you to export in a new H265/HEVC codec to maintain the highest quality at a minimum file size which is essential for those often processing 4K and HD files.
Thanks to a large set of preconfigured profiles, you can easily create videos for most popular multimedia devices, such as DVD players, iPod/iPhone/iPad, PSP, Galaxy, any smartphones and regular phones, Sony PlayStation, Xbox, Zune, Archos, iRiver, Creative Zen, Blackberry, MP4 players and many others.
You can create diagrams of different kinds, including 3D diagrams: Bar, Stacked Bar, Point, Bubble, Line, Scatter Line, Fast Line, Step Line, Spline, Area, Spline Area, Stacked Area, Stacked Spline Area, Range Bar, Gantt, Pie, Pie 3D, Torus 3D, Radar Point, Radar Line, Radar Area, Radar Spline, Radar Spline Area, Funnel, Pyramid, Pyramid 3D, High Low, Candle Stick. These objects can be based on dynamically changing data of different types. Besides, the appearance of diagrams is fully customizable (appearance of charts, coordinate axes, user-defined axes, legends, names of charts and axes, lines, labels and other elements), which will help you tailor them to your specific needs. Integrated color themes make it possible to quickly change the way your charts look.
The editor software lets you create your own library of multimedia files with brief or detailed descriptions. This will help you organize your video collection and simplify access to the necessary files.
Footage taken from drones, action cameras or other devices on the go often needs improvement. VSDC Stabilization tool, as your virtual tripod, helps remove jitter or any other shaking effects, caused by camera movement and turn it into a much smoother video image.
VSDC Free Video Editor not only provides ready-made profiles for exporting to social networks, but also offers you to upload your video directly to YouTube right from the app without switching windows or tabs.
The application is designed to quickly convert video files from one format to another. It has some basic features for editing videos: removing unneeded segments, splitting your video into parts, and merging several files into one.
Another feature of the our editor is the ability to capture video from various video tuners, webcams, IP ameras and save the captured footage on your computer in an arbitrary format for subsequent editing.
VSDC Free Video Editor, first launched in 2010, is a feature-rich free video editing software developed by Multilab LLC. It is recommended by the GoPro official community and many YouTube influencers as the best tool to edit sports and game videos for free. But will it do what you need it to do? That's the point of this VSDC Free Video Editor review. I'm going to take a look at every aspect of VSDC free video editor, including its pros & cons, basic and advanced editing features, ease of use, overall performance, etc.
You don't need a very robust machine for editing video with VSDC Free Video Editor smoothly. When compared to DaVinci Resolve, Shotcut, Kdenlive, and many similar video editing freeware, VSDC Free Video has lower requirements on the running system. Below I list its minimum system requirement.
However, it pops up the ads for upgrading to the paid version (costs 19.9USD) every time we start the program or click on the paid feature such as video stabilization, motion tracking, and hardware-accelerated decoding. The software didn't mark out the paid feature on the interface, so we can't tell out a paid feature until we click on it.
The feel given by the design of the project setting interface and the editing interface is quite different. The previous one looks very nifty and straightforward while the latter might make users feel VSDC Free Video Editor is the epitome of complicated.
On the initial project-setting panel, we have Blank Project for creating a new project, Create slideshow for fast converting videos or pictures into slideshows, and icons that navigate to the guide for VSDC top features, etc.
Users without previous knowledge about properties like codec, bitrate, and frame rate can also start a new project effortlessly. This is because VSDC Free Video Editor allows us to select the end playback devices or platforms such as YouTube, Vimeo, iPhone/Android, and then automatically apply the most matched parameters settings.
By default, it shows the classic layout. Depending on the editing demand, we can choose Prime, Color, Libraries, Timeline layout. Whatever layout you are using, you can further resize, remove, or reposition the panels.
For example, you can enlarge the preview window when navigating the details of the video, and you can enlarge the timeline panel for better seeing the details of the edits. These are good points. However, the interface is jammed with control buttons designed with similar appearances.
There is little chance that you can find the wanted tool in one or two clicks. In the next part, I'm going to navigate you to the different windows under the classic mode and share my opinions for each.
The thing I dislike most is the Timeline. When working on regular software, we can drag the video to a video or audio track. However, VSDC Free Video Editor doesn't come with video, audio, subtitle tracks on the timeline. When adding a video (whether there is audio or no audio) to the timeline of VSDC Free Video Editor, you have to select from: Add as video or Add as video layer.
Almost all video editing software can display the audio waveform on the timeline for helping users easily edit video guided by the audio waveforms. However, this important feature is absent in the free version. Worse more, it won't show the thumbnail of the picture clip neither.
The Project, Scene, and Export project tabs are for managing the project, adjusting the scene, and delivering the outcome. To enable or close a panel, we can use the options under the View tab. Editing tools like cut, copy, alignment mode are available under the Edit window. (Those tools also display above the preview window.)
The Editor tab includes the templates of video, audio, and text effects. It also offers crop, rotate, snapshot, and some other basic editing tools as well as the Wizard for making slideshows. The Tools tab includes the utilities like Video Stabilization (paid feature) and Video Converter.
When making picture-in-picture videos or split-screen videos, the layout and grids tools can be very helpful. On the left side, there are a number of icons with different features, ranging from selecting objects and adding masks to adding animation and importing source media files.
The tools under the preview window are for controlling the playback of the view. My personal favorite thing is we can choose 360P or a lower preview resolution to avoid crashes or freezes on poor computers.
In the Properties window, you can adjust the parameter settings for the effects and clips on the timeline. For instance, when adding a video on the timeline, you can change speed, crop border, reposition, resize, adjust the background color, change audio, and more by adjusting the corresponding parameters.
In the basic effects window, we can do some color correction and color grade work. However, it doesn't come with color scopes like Histogram which makes it difficult to create a really catchy outcome.
VSDC Free Video Editor offers almost all basic editing tools, ranging from cut, split, and overlay to flip, rotate, speed change, and reverse play. Unfortunately, none of them are easy to use. Here are some examples:
VSDC Free Video Editor uses a linear acceleration/deceleration. That said, you can only create a constant speed change. If you want to achieve an effect of gradual speed up/down, you have to split the footage into a few cuts and alter the later cut speed in a higher or lower speed rate.
To speak of the advanced features, VSDC Free Video Editor might be a reliable option. Surely, the premise is you're willing to learn all the bells & wrestles. After all, every feature comes with a long list of setting options.
It supports the video masking feature and offers the shape and pen tool for stroking the path. In addition, beginners can use a few readymade shapes, such as paw, arrow, and music symbol for masking the video.
The chroma key feature is a good example. In the video editing software like VideoProc Vlogger and Premiere Pro, we can easily remove the green background in one click. However, in VSDC Free Video Editor, we usually have to add additional key colors and tweak the complicated control options like temrminolised such as min brightness, chromaticityU, and chromaticityV threshold to get a clear result.
