VSDC Free Video EditorReviews of videosoftdev.com

RUN IT'S A TRAP! VSDC gives you a discount if you write a review and of course no one is going to write an honest review if they are trying to get the discount. This program sucks. It's good for free, but the rendering is like reading greek. The online tutorials are extremely limited. It's not da Vinci resolve so only a small percentage of video editors use it. My laptop is chunk so it handles VSDC better than Da Vinci Resolve, but it still is buggy as hell. Sometimes the file name updates when you tell it to, sometimes it doesn't. Rendering could take anywhere from 2 hours to 5 hours, but even then you really don't know what you are getting until it's done. Sometimes your video files get pressed to 0 seconds and you can't drag the sides to extend them. Does it do a lot? Sure, but wow is it buggy. I bought the full version because I thought it would easier, but it's such a waste of my time.

I can't even start a project. I've gone through the Screen Capture 6 times now, recorded, and then when I try to open that video (the one I RECORDED WITH THIS PROGRAM) I'm told it's a bad format! What a waste of time! USELESS.

Great video editor BUT do not buy the Pro version. They don't tell you until after you've paid that it's only a one-year subscription, not an actual purchase, and they won't give you a refund either. Very misleading marketing.

Requires installation of an MP4 codec, but doesn't tell you. If you try recording without it, you get an error with no indication of what is wrong. Screen recordings have horrible flicker, rendering them unwatchable. I've tried both monitors using various settings, and the flickering persists. Good luck getting help online. Their FAQ page is about as short as Trump's list of qualifications. It literally devotes more space to a couple of worthless images than to the actual questions and answers. On top of that, it froze on me within the first 15 minutes of use. Garbage.

Leider habe ich VSDC Video Editor Pro über die Website von videosoftdev.com "gekauft". Dort wird leider so gut wie möglich verschleiert, dass man nicht die Software kauft, sondern nur ein einjähriges Nutzungsrecht. Ich war sehr überrascht, dass ich die Software nicht mehr verwenden konnte und für ein weiteres Jahr 14,10€ bezahlen sollte. Es geht nicht um Updates, es geht um die Nutzung einer installierten Version! Auf anderen Websites gibt es unbeschränkt gültige Lizenzen für ca 30€ - d.h. nach 2 Jahren fährt man damit günstiger! Der Suport verwies auf meine Beschwerde hin auf die FAQs und dass man alle Fragen per E-Mail beantworten würde - und dass man auf bitsdujour.com eine Lifetime-Lizenz erwerben könne. Kurz: Ich habe sehr schlechte Erfahrungen mit videosoftdev.com beim "Kauf" von VSDC Video Editor Pro gemacht:-(

The worst, their program didn't work AND they won't give you a refund. DO NOT TRUST.

SHORT STORY: I really wasn't happy with the program because of crazy buffering, horrible exporting quality, inaccurate soundwaves and a stabilizer that doesn't work at all. So i asked my money back within the 30 days as they say on the website. Amy responded and told me what to do to solve the problems (while i already told her that i did exactly that) so i told her again that i did exactly what she told me and it did not work and I really wanted my money back. After that I just got ignored by her. I emailed her 4 times and i did not get a response. I hope i can save other people from losing their money with this review. I saw i am not the only one who this happened to... There are much better free and paying programs out there. After hours of work on a video i finally wanted to stabilize some of the shaky footage, but only then i found out that i would have to pay in order to use this feature. Also in the free version the replay kept buffering really bad... also the exported video became horrible quality while the original footage was good quality. I followed their videos to get the best quality but it did not work at all. I also needed the soundwaves to edit on the music but that's also only if you pay. So i decided i would get the pro version and paid the money. I thought all my problems would be solved. Not. First with the paymet it gave an error, so i tried again. And again i got an error. After a while the money got taken off my account but i did not get a code in return. So I contacted them by email and they responden very quick. They gave the money back that was paid too much and also i got a code. Up till here very happy. Then i tried using the pro version and guess what... The buffering stayed the same. I used the sound waves but it was not accurate. The stabilizer doesn't work at all, it only reduced the quality of my video and nothing else. So wasted money. I still had a bit of hope with the exporting, maybe the quality was better now. It was not. I'm so disapointed with the program but okay, no worries. I could still ask my money back withing 30 days, and I had it less than a week. So I emailed again with the reason why i wanted my money back. I did not get a response so i emailed again, they responded that their email 'probably did not reach my inbox' I got a whole explanation how i could fix my problems, i just have to follow their videos, which i did.... they were all excuses to not give my money back so i told them that i did exactly what they told me and i still had these problems so i just wanted my money back as stated ion the website within 30 days. I did not get a response, i emailed again and again and they just ignored my emails. So how i see it, it's just a big scam. They respond as long as they can get something from you and you pay. But the moment you want your money back because you're actually not happy because you don't get what you pay for, they just ignore you.

They advertise it as free but it's not, like all their other 'free' software progs. It's not until you've done all your work and try to export that you're told that it's a premium feature and you need to upgrade. Lies, fakery and manipulation. I rather buy from a snake oil salesman than Peter Upton and nhs software.
