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.

In the end you will be rewarded for your effort.

I'm a student and VSDC is just perfect! I'm a student and I often need a program to edit some videos and clips for school presentations. I used to rely on windows movie maker, but recently I wasn't satisfied with it anymore! That's why I decided to change and try VSDC... could't be happier! The program's interface is simple, everything comes natural and for any doubt I could have... there was a training online explaining me everything! So satisfied, I really recommend VSDC!!

I'm not a regular video editor I'm not a regular video editor. I found this so cumbersome to use - even somehting simple like changing the duration of images in a video wasn't straight forward and intuitive. It did allow me to upload more files than the other one that currently comes with windows but it's not user friendly at all in my opinion.

Nice software, but jagged looking video 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?
