Polish language support added
Keywords can now be added to file metadata
Duotone color effect added
Effect for audio channel remapping added
The preview background color can now be adjusted when converting text to Free Shapes, Curve Lines, Tracking Points or Text Blocks, providing better visibility

Updated gallery of Free Shape presets and the brand-new gallery of presets for Curve Line
New presets for video effects (Lens Flare, Lens Distortion, Shift, Zoom, Perspective, Distort, Duotone), text effects (Recoloring, Glyph FX, Position Shift), transitions (Perspective and Distort) and GPS motion templates (altitude/route trajectories) are added
New packs of Premium templates (backgrounds, titles, sketch elements and transitions) are added

Missing time separators (hours, minutes, seconds) when copying time from the timeline fixed
Incorrect object sizing in templates when changing scene resolution fixed
The converter panel now correctly displays output filenames when switching between input files

does this software have batch video projects export function?

I finally found an editor with this functionality and it's not Adobe. Super opens my mkv files from the camera and does color correction. from the minuses I can say - this program has no minuses. the pluses are that it is free!!! without any watermarks and other restrictions the only thing disabled hardware acceleration, but I do not need it for my tasks.
I bought the pro version just to support the guys in the development of their product.

Some users complain VSDC is a commercial editor, but it actually isn't. When you export a project, the program offers an upgrade, but you can skip this step and have your video exported.
This is not a crucial point actually. What I appreciate is that I can finally edit my 360 videos. Panoramic shooting is kind of new experience for me, so I didn't want to spend extra — expensive camera, accessories, editor. VSDC converts 360 in 2d, so I edit my footage as a usual 2d video. At export step the program makes it 360 again.

I have bought the Pro Edition and am very happy as I got it for quite a lot less than $20 in the Winter Sales which Flash-Integro have on at the moment. $20 is not much to ask for anyway, for such an advanced video editor with lots of features. You do have to get used to how to use VSDC Video Editor but you should get the hang of it after looking at some guides and reading the manual, which Pro users get the download link for.
So if you can't afford much and you need a good stable video editor that you can do a lot with, then I recommend this one.

I was told it was freeware but simply importing an mp4 to add subtitles triggered the pay option,I got aviedemux which did it quickly and without bother..bye bye VSDC,you won't be missed.
