Thanks guys keep going!

Great piece of software, I am yet to find a free video software with better features and which is so easy to use. Great for beginners and experts alike.

First off their web pages are not secure! That really is a worry, especially considering the hacks that happened to this software and their web pages in the past which I only discovered after my experience. Free or paid versions: You select the chosen platform you wish to make the video for, eg YouTube, Instagram etc by clicking on the relevant tab within the editor. This is of course done on the assumption that the video will display correctly on the chosen platform after production. After all why would they be in the editor if they did not? You then edit all the bits you need too, add sound and render, which takes forever by the way, paid or not. Upload it to YouTube and marvel at your work by watching it, only to find out that there is a black frame all the way around your video, making all of your time and effort wasted. Basically the editor did not format the video correctly for YouTube! Why not? you will need to ask VDSC, but to be honest I would not bother as you will need to go to their dodgy web site to do so. Apply for a refund within 30 days of purchase only to be told that you need to wait 5 working days for your case to be reviewed. The outcome, refund request rejected. No surprise there really. Avoid at all costs people or alternatively just set fire to €20.00 and enjoy the experience. Its no different.

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?

I've been using VSDC Free for a year and this editing program in the worst I've ever experienced. Why? 1. Jumpy layers Layers tend to jump to other layers when you don't want. This really happens ALL the time, which messes up your project constantly. Selecting multiple layers and moving them is also a big frustration: while moving the clips in the time line, some clips decide to end up at different layers. To find them back is a pain is the a**, because the zooming functions of the timeline is very non-intuitive with lots of different moveable bars. It takes forever to get the right zoom level that you want. More frustration: when you delete a clip of click on a clip, sometimes clips just jump to another position in the timeline, so this completely messes up your workflow. To be clear: I'm very careful with clicking and other programs never react like this. More frustration: when you duplicate clips in the time line the duplicated clips sometimes end up all the way on the top in the first layer and sometimes they end up just below the original clip. Lots of times I was just searching for my duplicates. 2. Markers Exporting your project is a nightmare! First you have to put markers in the starting and ending point. This whole process made me curse to my screen lots of times. The interface is just horrible: small windows, non-intuitive arrows, it's unclear when you've selected something or not. But most important: WHY markers? Just render from 0 till my last clip. DUH! 3. Layers & visability During the editing of my projects it happened every time that I ended up with 98 layers or so, because the program adds lots of extra layers when you add a picture or a title. I like to have my clips as close to eachother in the time line as possible instead of having over 50 layers. So after a few hours of working you suddenly notice there are big empty areas in your timeline, because the program adds the layers. Of course I tried to fix all the problems I was having by looking in the options extensively, but there were no solutions available... After the last clip I've edited I decided I'm finally done with VSDC. Although I'm thankful I could edit my films for free, I will never work with it again and I just purchased Pinnacle 24 instead. A breath of fresh air!
