VSDC Free Video Editor?

Well I got only interested in it just today but you always want to go Adobe After Effects but that being said I don't fancy paying money for ability to make memes so I found this. You are limited in some aspects in free version but if you get creative you can bypass some of the limitations (and I don't mean piracy).
Damn, that sucks! It wouldn't be that hard to fix if there is a fan video of the intro using the original audio with existing fan art.
Using video download plugins for browsers, someone could download the original first episode and the fan-made video, and splice them together in VSDC. ( http://www.videosoftdev.com/free-video-editor/download ) That video could then be uploaded in place of the existing one(s), and voila! problem solved!
I'd do it if I weren't in the middle of a move, (both apartment and job), but I'm no video pro, anyone could do it.
Stumbled across it randomly but its pretty good for ez pz edits like this, no need for adobe shizzle or vegas pro.
Be cautious on not installing any bloatware when you do.
Fake edit: This is the only tutorial video I used, everything else is self explanatory
Delete Quik as it's very unstable and unreliable, as you've witnessed.
I would recommend you go for VSDC, which is easy to use and very "beginner friendly".
Not that I'm aware of.
You can use Time-Lapse Tool, but it does not support RAW files. And if you are shooting RAW, you should probably consider investing in at least Lightroom and LRTimelapse, which is really the best way to process TL sequences. You can get away with using VSDC Video Editor for editing rendered video from LRTimelapse without the need for Premiere or After Effects, but there are no free TL rendering apps out there that I've ever heard of that support RAW.
I googled "game trailer examples" a while back and found several portfolio websites, just grab the contact details and maybe they can give you a hand. You could try r/gamedevclassifieds or fiverr. I haven't made use of such services myself, but I'd expect the cost to range from a few hundred dollars to thousands, depending of course on what exactly you want it to consist of (just gameplay with text? animations? cinematics?)
I made my game's trailer using VSDC, which has a fairly powerful free version, with more features behind a paywall.
I appreciate any feedback on how to make better tutorials. I'm a student at the moment, so my equipment setup is very basic/economical:
I use GarageBand on iPhone to record the different parts, stick some fairy lights on my bedroom wall and a wee cheap Argos video camera to record, and I edit using a free program called VSDC, which allows for the multi-panel "Brady Bunch intro" effect!
My goal is to keep things simple and straightforward for people new to a cappella and interested in giving it a go, but may have no prior music experience!
If you have the money, try Sony Vegas Suite.
I don't really use free software, but with a cursory google search, FlashIntegro's video editor and Lightworks look rather promising. Give both a go. Lightworks may not be what you want, though. Upon a closer look, many of the important features are not available in the free version.
As far as fonts go, you'd be safe with most basic fonts. Try Times New Roman, and just use fade in/out. Making it move across the screen may make it more dramatic, but also less professional.
Your intro video looks like a trailer. For something like that, you can even fade the entire screen to a black page with words. Take short dramatic snippets in between the words.
If you really want to tell a story, the best thing you can do is purchase a mic and just use really convincing roleplay, combined with some text at the beginning to catch viewers up in each part. When you said, "It's been one week since Sigurd and his friends turned up in this strange land," that's exactly what you want to go for.
If you're self-conscious about your voice, I'm sure you could find a program somewhere on the net to edit it.
If you want to get an eye for graphic design, spend a few hours on /r/crappydesign. You'll become a graphics snob in no time!
Just in case, make sure there are no Windows updates pending. If you have not already done so, I would probably go ahead and do a restart, anyway, and then retry the program.
Was just working in Openshot, yesterday. Feel your pain.
Also, was going to try VSDC, but got it done, otherwise.
You’ll need two steps. Recording, and speeding it up.
For the first, the best thing I’ve found is OBS Studio. It’s a free streaming program, but it’s also great at just recording games.
For speeding it up you have a whole lot of choices. It’s a basic function of any decent video editing software. I use Adobe Premiere because I have an Adobe subscription for other needs. Some great free choices are VSDC’s Free Video Editor and DaVinci Resolve.
Let me know if you need help with anything else!

if it's working for you then there's obviously no reason, but if you're having any issues check out this link.
i was about to figure this out in minutes and it actually works
What are you computer specs? It could just be a slow system, idk. There was a problem in an old build that caused weird freezes, it's been fixed in a recent patch, try updating here if you are on an old version: http://www.videosoftdev.com/free-video-editor/download
VSDC is the one GoPro recommends here: https://gopro.com/help/articles/Question_Answer/GoPro-Studio-End-of-Life-FAQ
> ust don't want any watermarks or loss of quality or anything. Really the most important thing to me is that the video and audio quality stays the same.
All the tools we mention have no watermarks (except where noted).
Try http://www.videosoftdev.com/free-video-editor VSDC as an editor.
The Quality is 100% based on your output settings - how much you recomrpess it.
Thanks, I've got a lot to improve on but not bad since I had installed the software about 5 minutes before I started this vid! I downloaded a free program called VSDC. It's got a lot of features but doesn't have hardware acceleration so It can take a while to process whatever you're working on. I'm going to be doing some more research into open-source editing programs today to see if there's anything better/faster out there!
Hello, Not sure if this is still relevant, but we recommend 1) installing the latest version from the official website and 2) using the "Import content" button on the start screen to upload your video files. If this doesn't help, you can always shoot an email to our support team or a message via our FB page. P.S. Here is the official VSDC subreddit, you can also leave your question there for faster responses.
Hitfilm Express is free and it has no serious limitations other than it needs a fairly decent video card. My laptop cannot handle it. My desktop with an Nvidia 730 works though (even though that is less than the minimum GPU "required" in the 2017 version) The only feature of hitfilm PRO that you might want as a beginner is 3D extruded text, but you can either buy that as an add-on or just work around it by doing other things with your text overlays. A friend of mine uses VSDC http://www.videosoftdev.com/free-video-editor as her free editor of choice. It ha built-in video stabilization nad audio effects that Hitfilm lacks (even in the paid version) but Hitfilm lets you do all kinds of visual effects that other free editors don't depends on what you want to learn and which features are important to you.
I don't know about that specific kind of animation, but VSDC is excellent for the price (free, but not Free), and highly flexible, if somewhat prone to crashing. Just repeat this mantra: save. often.
I use VSDC Video Editor. http://www.videosoftdev.com/free-video-editor
It's free and it may seem not very user friendly at first, but it's quite powerful once you get familiar with it. In fact, it's probably the most full-featured software that is available for free. They also provide a ton of tutorials and guides on how to use it. The free version does everything, doesn't beg for money, has no advertisement, doesn't add bullshit watermarks etc etc etc, can export in any resolution/format you can think of. Best feature of VSDC is you can set a target file size for a video, and the software will automatically calculate the bitrate that will make it fit into that particular size. I usually don't let my videos get larger than 1 gig in size, depending on length.
You can also get the Pro version, but the only thing it does is add Hardware Acceleration support for faster encoding, if you have the right video card.
It can upload straight to youtube after conversion etc.
- Lightworks would be the best one for quick trimming.
- VSDC is more feature-rich, yet not the most intuitive.
- Shotcut is pretty cool to work with, but on some reasons might be unstable sometimes - depends on your machine, I believe.
http://www.videosoftdev.com/free-video-editor
It's free and I've been using it for years...I've already produced nearly a hundred videos
I've never taken a lesson - the program comes with good documentation which explains pretty much anything you need to know
Like BootsToTheMax said, Lightworks and Filmora are good options. I can't personally use Lightworks though, because it's to intensive on my computer, so I use something called VSDC.
i see red stuff.
anyway, in OBS go to Settings -> Video and you can change the frame rate.
I've found better success with VSDC video editor's screen capture. http://www.videosoftdev.com/free-video-editor/download
Super easy, just click screen capture and you can drag the borders to the section of the screen you want to capture, and hit record.
BTW I've got a project called Space Wizards which uses noise functions to generate a whole galaxy of planets to explore too. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=833225514
Because based on this image on this page I couldn't realistically point a novice at this tool.
While it's only $20, it's painfully dense and a terrible UI.
- About half of this is pre-buff, actually. I'm really happy wrel decided to buff me personally.
- Thanks! I used the free version of VSDC, which is a bit of a pain but gives way more control over the transitions than Windows Movie Maker.
I was discussing this with another redditor/YouTuber earlier this week. VSDC Free Video editor was of his preference. I know that purchasing video editing software can be expensive so every bit helps. I have not used it myself since I have Sony Vegas Pro but maybe it's worth a try!

Good luck!
My first attempt at editing a video. I used the free version of VSDC Video Editor.
I can't believe Star Wars VII is tomorrow! After over thirty years, a sequel to the Star Wars trilogy!
OBS has my recommendation, and I've heard from friends VSDC Video Editor is good, but I've never tried it.
Lightworks was OK, but I wanted the full glory of 1080p and 60fps, so I shelled out for Sony Vegas Pro.
If you have a student I.D, Adobe Cloud gives out discounts.
I've been using this one for some work stuff recently. Pretty basic, but easy to use. I don't know if it's the best free one out there, but it works.
Handbrake defaults to 20 CRF I believe (they call it RF). You can drop it down to 24 (I wouldn't recommend lower) and still get decent quality out of it but you'll get a file almost half a big.
As far as free video editors go the top 2 I would recommend are VideoPad and VDSC (in that order). Both are fairly straight forward and simple to understand.
Thinking about it, running the video through most encoders wont help in your situation as Virtualdub wont accept anything but .avi without additional unofficial plugins.
If you're using it just to merge the video and audio tracks together, using something like Videopad or VDSC (both freeware, I recommend Videopad as it's interface is better) instead will likely fix the issue, assuming Virtualdub isn't correctly processing variable framerate, which is likely.

http://www.videosoftdev.com/free-video-editor
You may be better off in the future using a program like OBS/Bandicam/Dxtory/etc to record both at once (they can record with constant framerate).
To quote use a > symbol at the start of a line.
You will be recording your commentary in Audacity and your in-game audio over your USB capture card. You will need a video editing program to sync up the sound of your commentary with the video.
Lightworks is free, but can only do 720p videos (on the free version) and can be hard to learn.
VSDC is free as well and should be able to do this.
You could also try to extract the game audio from the video using VirtualDub (also free) and then sync it up in Audacity and then dub it back in. That is fairly difficult, but would work. I don't recommend it.
haven't tried it but it's free

Desktop video capture The video editor features a desktop video capture utility that saves captured footage to a video file for subsequent processing in the editor.
