VSDC Free Video Editor is intended for editing video files and creating videos of any complexity involving various visual and audio effects. The program offers rich functionality and yet has a simple and intuitive interface, allowing you to create videos with a bare minimum of efforts.
Full description.
Supported formats and codecs
The video editor supports (opens) nearly all video, audio and image formats and codecs and saves all mainstream formats. Below is a table of supported formats.
IŽll think twice before installing an app with EULA like this : " The installer you are about to initiate uses the Conduit Ltd. network to recommend other software you may find valuable during installation of this software. By proceeding with this installation, you agree that Conduit may collect and use *NON personally identifiable* information about THIS installation (like: install initiated and completed, operating system and language, and country) as well as whether the software recommendation was accepted or not. Collection of such information by Conduit will ONLY occur during this installation and the recommendation process...By installing our software you agree to install the toolbar created by Conduit Ltd. (see Conduit End-User License Agreement below)."
Same EULA is in other 2 products : VSDC Free Video Converter v2.4.3.263 and VSDC Free Audio Converter v1.6.3.333 .
The current version of the program is 1.2.2 (not 1.2.1). The program is indeed free. The previous 1.2.1 version was also free, but it had a bug where a pop-up window would ask for a license key upon saving the final project. Believe the publisher was originally planning to release this as a paid program, but later changed their mind. If you run into this window, just ignore it and close it. You'll never see it again, and the program will run just fine.
As for reviewing the program, this is one of the few free video editors that are capable of chroma-key (green screen) editing, along with picture-in-picture/split-screen editing. Additionally, it will work and save in just about any format/container/codec/resolution that you want, including HD. No watermarks, no trials, the program is fully functioning. I did bump it in my rating for ease of use, as it's not very intuitive to use. But recommend giving it another try if you passed on this. I think you'll like it.
It is not free. The version I down loaded had little functionality, they want you to buy a license.
