[@leonardoquintero7349]

Good job! I like how you reviewed it from the "pro" pov and then from the intended-use POV. More reviewers should do that! I'm just getting started and I'm giving this SW a try.

[@tommymonaghan8547]

Great to see you back at it Andy 🤙🏻

[@PlanetDoug]

The two problems you pointed out starting at 11:50 are dealbreakers for me: 1. VERY difficult to see the places where the video has been split. It's invisible, as far as I can tell. 2. The Video Track and Overlay Tracks don't stay in sync when you edit. The second point is the big one. It essentially makes the program unusable for me. I don't understand why the program operates in this way. It essentially means that you have to reposition every single item in your Overlay Tracks (individually) every time you alter something in the main Video Track. Is this a deliberate design choice by VideoProc Vlogger? Are there benefits to this that I'm not aware of? Or is it just an oversight?

[@TheBigOlle]

Perhaps the solution to this is to lock one of the tracks

[@sorcerereye]

They have his own channel, here in YT, explaining many technical things and tips. Check it out!

[@timsharp]

I use Videoproc Vlogger for all my videos now and it works well for me. It's easy to see where video's have been split - just run the cursor over a clip in the timeline and it's edges are highlighted. I agree about the video track and overlay not being in sync if you edit the video, I get around that by placing a marker at the point where the video was before the edit and another where it is after the edit. I then place something temporary at one of the markers (I just copy one of my bits of text). Then select all the overlay tracks and move them from 1 marker to the other - that's it. Perhaps the only missing feature I would use is some form of saving customised settings - e.g. I use commentary subtitles and I always have to set the size, edge thickness, colour and so on at the start of the video - if I could save them down as a style, I would just choose my customised style instead of one of the standard ones. I do videos ranging from a couple of minutes to over 2 hours and it copes with them all very well at 4K. Update. I have just found that you can save text styles in videoproc vlogger

[@andrewbarlow2976]

Installed today, looking forward to trying it out.

[@youmetheworld]

We use this software for all of our travel videos. Amazingly easy and professional looking results.

[@AndyManCam]

Glad to hear it guys! The free pricetag also really helps!

[@TisMeJohnDee]

Hi Andy very informative video. Amazing free program. Just shows how much hard work you and your peers put into vids for our enjoyment. Keep up the good work mate.

[@bms2250]

Thanks Andy, I'm just looking to edit a few holiday videos myself but you have explained the dark art of editing brilliantly! I will give this software a go now that I can follow your tutorial 👍

[@AndyManCam]

My pleasure BMS! Have fun dabbling mate!

[@paulhanney1960]

Wow. I’ve never attempted any editing of any kind, but to do what I want, I’m going to need to learn. You kind of blew through the steps like we knew what you were talking about, but like with anything new, guess I just need to jump in and pause/rewind your video until it makes sense. Thank you for putting this out there! I love your final product!

[@AndyManCam]

My pleasure Paul! The best way to learn is to just get stuck in and with this being free, it’s a no risk situation!!

[@matmoore74]

Good review pal, will give it a try

[@paulclarke1233]

Hi Andy, you did a good job with the with the editing soft wear and to show how you use it and show the finish vid thanks again

[@philiptownsend4026]

That was a great review. I've been thinking about trying Vlogger and you've helped me a lot in my decision. So thanks 😊.

[@bayard1332]

Excellent review. One feature you didn't mention, it uses the GPU (at least on windows machines), so my very old PC can actually edit 4k vidi, whereas Resolve pretty much can't even run on the same machine. Cheers.

[@AndyManCam]

That’s a good point. 👍🏻💪🏻

[@mikejgriffiths]

Cheers Andy could be worth a look. Results are pretty good. Well done

[@mawoodsies1]

Hi I've been using VideoProc Vlogger for some time and I like it even with its limitations the biggest problem I find is the colour grading of multiple clips we can't select multiple clips them and then do the colour grading over all the clips you've got to individually colourgrade each clip before you add it to the timeline. Anyway you have taught me a few tricks that I intend to use on my forthcoming videos.

[@camposvazquez]

Hello...are you still using videoprov blogger? If so .. is videoproc the same program as a paid version? I don't mind paying .. I just want to confirm before I make a decision Cheers

[@mawoodsies1]

​@@camposvazquezHi no sorry I have stopped using Video Proc Vlogger as a video editor due to the limitations as I explained above. I am now using CapCut which is free as well give it a look.

[@staudio]

Informative video. I'm in the "single camera using iMovie" stage. May have to give this a try.

[@ryoder]

I did not know AMC was using a Zoom F2. I just learned about 32-bit float audio a couple weeks ago. No more fussing with mic gain? No more clipping? Dayum! a Zoom F2 is now on my wish list.

[@HalfdeadRider]

Might have to check this out and see how it goes. Currently for me Davinci Resolve is the best free editing software (used it for years), but a quite beefy PC is needed, CPU especially with the free version as hardware acceleration is one of the benefits to the studio version, very good though and not many features missing compared to the studio version really.

[@HalfdeadRider]

@Black Sheep Biker Definitely! one day when I'm feeling flush, I will buy the studio version as it's a one time (lifetime update) cost, rather than sub based or a payment needed for updated versions. Worth it for hardware acceleration alone imo.

[@HalfdeadRider]

@Black Sheep Biker Currently costs £294, very expensive to me right now, and for basic editing that I mostly do I probably wouldn't buy any of there hardware.

[@ColinMichael-Artist]

Hi andy, so good to see and hear you. After all that you has happened to poor you. I have downloaded the software and will give it a go...as mine is just about ok...but need bits to play with. I love editing...thanks a lot for the tutorial.

[@AndyManCam]

Thanks Colin. My pleasure mate. I hope it does the trick for you.

[@DebBreton]

Thanks so much - I learned a lot from watching you - man, you are fast!

[@AndyManCam]

Cheers Zen. Happy to help!

[@ClemKuek]

Thanks for the tip!

[@AndyManCam]

Glad to help!

[@shawngreenwood7825]

wow Andy, I am a total noob at video editing. this simple program maybe something of a game changer. I will give it a try. thanks!

[@ronferguson1280]

Nice video Andy! Didn't understand a word of it???😂😂🙃

[@NotNowCato1254]

Glad it wasn't just me, Ron 🙄😂

[@AndyManCam]

Haha! Sorry guys! Sometimes i just get caught in the geekery of it all and go on full geek send!

[@JimJohn5555]

I have been using Video Proc Vlogger HOWEVER on my first project which was very small, when I put transitions in the still clips, the music track started going slow every time the play reached a transition, so I had to take them all out - some sort of glitch there or a setting I have no idea about

[@AndyManCam]

Best to get on to the programmers. Hopefully they’ll be able to sort you out.

[@marcusgeorge1825]

Hi Andy, a great video and explanation. Thank you. 👍😎🇦🇺

[@scottyuk]

Looks great and fit for me. I sometimes want to grab footage from my front and rear dash cam and turn it into something reasonable. I'll give it a go 👍

[@oldmanonapan7678]

Been looking for something to do to exactly this, cut out the crap and leave the good stuff. You make it look easy. Thanks

[@phoenixautodetailingscotla2159]

A cracking video and a great find as I'm just starting to use this software, so really really helpful. 1 question I have is, can you cut out or reduce background noise. To answer your question there wasn't anything I didn't like.👍

[@AndyManCam]

Thanks very much! As far as i know you can reduce background noise with EQ, but there’s no magic bullet noise reduction filter. That would be very cool though!

[@nanoff_plays7464]

The thing is for me when I want to zoom in on one thing it does that but it has like 7 places it moves to also

[@padde]

Great, detailled review. Some features definitely look easier than in Davinci Resolve, for example. I wonder what's their business model... Looks like a couple of years of software engineering went in there. They should award you the role of Mr. Smith in the next Matrix sequel, by the way 😂

[@TheBigOlle]

I am testing Videoproc: Much is good: So far I found two downsides: 1/ Your can not trim your clips with this tool. They recommend that you buy a special tool for this. 2/ I clicked the motion buttom to try to zoom. But when I zoomed the photo of a woman, the program zoomed to her breast so you could not se her eyes. If i tried to use keyframes I could zoom to her face, but then the whole screen became smaller so there was not the zoom-effect I had expected

[@englischdude]

super video and review. many thanks. how would you say it compares to imovie? Just picked up an air M1 8gb myself so looking for software for the occasional 5min action cam vid.

[@AndyManCam]

Cheers ED! TBH i haven’t used imovie for a VERY long time! But I’d recommend maybe giving them both a go. A long time ago when i switched from premiere pro, i made a single video with every potential editing software and then picked the one i wanted based on the finished product and the experience of making it.

[@bankruptpensioner]

Brilliant video 👍

[@AndyManCam]

Thanks very much!

[@Ham24brand]

I have been having a problem with HDR. I have proper HDR recordings and the editor shows that in the video information with 10-bit and rec. 2020 color space. however, when I export the project It does not export HDR. Am I doing something wrong or is it incapable of exporting HDR?

[@AndyManCam]

I’m afraid you’ll have to contact videoproc about that. Out of my realm!!

[@gregorygreg4263]

To get the quality i want i use the lossless engine but this tirns a gopro 14 minute video into a 53 Gigabyte monster.Andy what software do you use and where do you store your finished videos. Also what sort of file sizes does one of your 14 minute videos create. I am just interested in what size i can get down to and still have good you tube quality. Thanks for your help. I also use videoproc vloger.

[@AndyManCam]

It’s a common trap to fall into Gregory, to assume that the lossless video is the highest quality. But the thing is that you can’t add quality to Gopro video. It will never be better than it was coming out of the camera. So most of your 53 Gb monster is actually just filler. Theorerically, the best thing to do is to export a video at the exact same format and bitrate as the original video. Though what I tend to do is to add 10-15 Mb/s on top, just for a little headroom. Anything more than that and you’re really not adding anything to the video, just wasting disk space and upload time. I use Davinci Resolve, but my 2.7k videos (2688 x 1512) are usually recorded in H.265 at around 55 Mb/s. So i export the video at the exact same resolution (2688 x 1512), in H.265 at 65 Mb/s. Doing this, I can see no discernible difference in quality and a 14 minute video would be about 7 Gigabytes.

[@yeehar99]

Andy - have you reviewed the Brave 8 or is this in the pipeline? I dipped my toe in the water with the Brave 6 and Brave 7 but neither of them gave me the "bars, clocks and 'sky'" look expected (with a chin mount) - even with the 7 on it's claimed 170° setting. Cheers,

[@AndyManCam]

It's in the pipeline mate. I've had it for a while but the gods haven't been on my side and testing has been very limited! Hoping to remedy that real soon and see what the thing can really do.

[@Banditmanuk]

Surprisingly sophisticated for a freebie. Saying that it won't do some of the tasks that my Adobe Premier Elements does. The ability to line up the audio from several camera sources to synchronise is import and I think you get used to a particular bit of software.

[@Giveitago777]

Hi I'm trying to ise videoproc but when I upload a clip it plays out of sync and is not in real time it's like it is in slight slow motion I am selecting the 60fps and 4k that the futage was filmed in help please lol

[@AndyManCam]

Sorry, I’m really not the expert with this software. It’s probably worth contacting Videoproc. Maybe they’ll be able to help.

[@Anonomoss]

Very Informative. Thank you. I have been trying to use Corel VideoStudio Ultimate 2022 Video Editing Software with a high end Windows Machine. AMD 5900X, 64GB DDR 4 3600, 1 TB Samsung NVME 980 Pro, Nividia RTX 3080 VC. and VS 2022 Ulti absolutly chokes on video from my GoPro 7 - 4K 60p HEVC 265. It is so frustrating. My question to you; is what Video Editing Software is your personal favorite that you would recommend? I am maybe mid teer as far as knowlwge, looking for soemthing realativly easy to use that can handle higher end video 4K 60o HEVC 265. Any help is much appreciated.

[@AndyManCam]

My pleasure. My personal favorite is Davinci resolve. It’s a steep learning curve, but it works very well for what i do with multiple cameras.

[@Anonomoss]

@@AndyManCam - Thanks so much for your speedy reply. I've heard of DaVinci resolve, but I've also heard about the steep learning curve. Any other suggestions that maybe are a little simpler for mid-level users such as myself? Please and thank you...

[@AndyManCam]

No problem! Yeah i can see how you might be put off. Although as it costs nothing, still might be worth a go. You don’t have to use all the features and there are some great tutorials out there. Casey Faris and Alextech are two great channels that have really helped me. Otherwise, i hear good things about Filmora.

[@Anonomoss]

Thanks, I really appreciate your suggestions. I will check DaVinci resolve out 👍

[@motodevcam]

I've been using this for a wee while after watching this vid but can't get it to display or render overlays properly. Overlaying an image the preview screen glitches and flashes. (and also renders this way) If I overlay B Roll, it previews ok but renders without it (well, apart from a 0.2 second flash at the start of each overlay). Everything else works really well. Anyone had the same issue or have a fix? Any suggestions would be spiffing! Cheers!

[@AndyManCam]

That sounds very annoying. Hope you get it figured out mate.

[@timsharp]

I did have a similar problem with one of my videos, an overlay image didn't display properly, but it seemed to be a corrupt project file. I started the project again and it worked fine the second time. I've done about 75 edits now and that was the only time it went wrong.

[@DaveDayve]

Glad all is looking on track. Question, on a slightly different note. I've some questions about the insta 360 pls. Do both the insta 360 one X 2, and the insta 360 one (the red boxy one) both do 360 recording pls? Which is best for quick beginners recording 360 video pls? Tks.

[@AndyManCam]

Thanks Dave. Yes they both do 360 (as long as you have the 360 lens for the OneRS). For a quickly accessible and easy to use package, the One X2 is definitely the better option.

[@rajayush2524]

Can It edit and export footage with HDR or SDR is only supported ??

[@AndyManCam]

I’m afraid i don’t actually know. I think only SDR, as it’s really aimed at hobbyist users.

[@AchieOtigo]

Terminator OP, 👋 have you managed to export with HDR?

[@marclawrence2009]

I have tried to edit 360 video but when exported they don't play in 360. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

[@AndyManCam]

I’m afraid i haven’t tried to export 360 videos with this software. It’s possible that you need to find a way to ‚inject‘ the 360 metadata to your exported video. A Google search on this subject should help you. 👍🏻

[@marclawrence2009]

Wow that is interesting. If you don't export videos what do you do with them? Do you not upload any to any social media.@@AndyManCam

[@videoemilioisis]

The video in the time line plays slow and jittery. How do I fix this?

[@AndyManCam]

I think you’d be better off contacting videoproc for ideas. 👍🏻

[@erikmichiels]

go to settings -> timeline->playback priority->set to: video...

[@AndyManCam]

Cheers Erik.

[@dougsphoto]

Hi Andy can you edit 360 video for virtual videos with this software and I don't mean Reframed video

[@AndyManCam]

No idea. I’m afraid i didn’t try that. Just a simple edit.

[@ArtasDesign]

how to blur speedometer with that program?

[@AndyManCam]

I don’t know I’m afraid. Never tried it.

[@brettyg76]

I’m tempted to delete my PowerDirector software and download this programme... this looks more user friendly and with more creative options than PowerDirector, which I’ve had for years and hardly use now. This VideoProc could be the software to get me back into video creating.

[@DebBreton]

That's what I did!

[@AndyManCam]

Go for it chaps. Pointless having an overly complicated program if it’s putting you off editing. Keep it simple, do it well. 👍🏻

[@gcow8328]

I hear ya, thinking about doing the same with davinci. Spend half my time watching vids on how to get rid of choppy playback

[@AndyManCam]

It does seem that when it works, it works. When it doesn’t, it’s a pig! I have beautiful smooth Play-back on my MacBook air M1. But on my i7 quad core dell latitude 5290, its stuttery even with proxies and quarter timeline Play-back! 🤦🏻‍♂️

I had issues with color director converting 4k hevc to h.264 files looked like absolute garbage . Powerdirector constantly crashes loosing half my work before i can save.

[@ArthursMam]

Can you recommend any good sites for getting music that's free to download and use over the top of videos. To block out wind noise

[@AndyManCam]

I’m afraid not. That’s why i use epidemic sound. It costs a yearly subscription but the quality of the music is always good and i have no copyright problems. www.epidemicsound.com/referral/2qzhhd

[@ArthursMam]

I've used your link and subscribed to the site cos it has some great music on it. Thank you.

[@AndyManCam]

Many thanks! I hope you have as much success with finding good music as i have. 🤟🏼

[@noobdev4181]

I have tried it and it is pretty good. But I have a problem if I want to edit a 4k 2160p video exported from Screenflow, And when I import it into videoproc vlogger the preview looks blurry and does not look sharp like the original video exported from Screenflow. has anyone had this happen?

[@AndyManCam]

Might be best to contact Videoproc and see if they have any suggestions?

[@tenwastv1139]

I use videoproc and i quite like it.

[@AndyManCam]

Glad to hear it! Happy editing!

[@mrcintheuk4641]

For us rank amateurs that just tinker with our touring or family holiday footage for personal use it's ideal, and better than using the free Windows 10 video editor! 👍

[@OZ1DK]

I have just givet a try. Workflow good, easy to learn etc. But out of the blue l can start new projects, and add different effekts, and adjust sound etc. I have even delete the whole software, and try new install, but same results.

[@AndyManCam]

Sorry to hear that mate. I think you should contact Digiarty/Videoproc. I’m no better educated than you here! Hopefully they’ll sort you out.

[@scottamolinari]

Out of curiosity, on average, how much time do you take to edit a, say, 30 minute video? Oh, and is this the software you use regularly?

[@AndyManCam]

It depends a little on how many cameras i used and if it was a tour video or a talky-vlog-thingy. For a tour vid with 3 cameras it could take as much as 3-4 full days. For a talky vid, s as Little as 6 hours. I regularly use Davinci Resolve. It’s complicated but far more powerful.

[@scottamolinari]

@@AndyManCam Cool. I have Davinci too. Just learning though. Wow. 3-4 days. Well, you do a great job. And, your commentary is always great. Does that come naturally to you or do you take 100 takes before you think what you said is good and sounds right? I hate hearing myself and when I try to do any kind of video commentating, it's just awful. I just moderated a software conference totally improve and I can't stand to watch myself in the replay.
