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.

Runs like S- tho. VSDC is quite complex. Runs like S- tho. Especially since they "updated" their software, can't even run a 720p MP4 without lag. Very good for 360p video. Basically good for low resolution meme compilations. Avoid it

Great free solution for a limited resource PC owner I've been using VSDC for a couple of months already. It's the only non-linear video editor that doesn't constantly freeze my old and I-should-get-a-more-powerful-one PC. I'm still on Windows 7 with memory running low, and feel like VSDC is the only free option where I can perform advanced tricks like split screen and Chroma Key. Love it so far! Thank you for keeping it free.

Still learning, but loving this tool I have been using VSDC's Video Editor for a few years now. I knew ZERO before starting out with this. It was fairly easy to learn the basics, and I am still discovering and learning to use new features every time I use it. There is so much here that I still know nothing about. I absolutely still consider myself a beginner, but look forward to exploring everything this program has to offer. It's a great easy-to-use program for people like me, and I can only imagine what a more experienced and knowledgeable editor could do with it.
