Getting one of those after hours of editing can be quite frustrating. VSDC is taking a different path, Freemium. you get a (100% working) basic editor, if you like it, you buy in to the more advanced version. For me, tis model is far superior to getting limited output until you buy. You don’t get that being-a-hostage feeling.

There is no particular catch, because the company makes money selling VSDC PRO subscriptions. They provide few extra features for professional-level video makers for $19.99 per year. If you’ve got here, we got some good news for you: we’ve partnered with VSDC to give away five annual PRO licenses to five randomly selected winners. Simply enter below to participate and wait till the 30th of October when the winners will be announced. If you’re new to the world of non-linear video editing software, its key advantage over basic linear MovieMaker-like editors, is being able to place objects right on the scene in any order.

In other words, you can easily create a famous “picture-in-picture” effect, split screen, work with layers and blend multiple videos into one sequence. Sounds slightly similar to Photoshop, doesn’t it?Īpart from cutting, splitting, rotating, adding transitions and other basic operations most video editors are capable of, VSDC allows to perform advanced-level color correction, crop the borders of your footage and zoom in a particular object. You’ll be able to access RGB, Hue/Saturation/Value and even gradient color correction settings.

The free toolset also includes Chroma Key/Green screen effect, transparency, Gaussian and Motion Blur.
