Very helpful

[@coffeelover1456]

Oh I missed you! And worried too... Hope all is well with you all! Great tutorial, it's very good for those who are starting to use a software to have at least a basic tutorial to start And for those who already know, the truth is that sometimes you end up discovering a little thing or another that you missed and didn't know 🤭

[@Vexarax]

the little thing I keep accidentally rediscovering is that the *MINUS* key is extremely important when silencing audio. To silence it, you need to set it -100. But you end up mostly deaf when you forget the minus key and set it to 100 instead (remembering that ZERO is full volume) lol. I just did it again by accident. Every time, I think I've learned my lesson. Then I do it again :P

[@coffeelover1456]

@@Vexarax Hello Manumelita!!! I read your message in the other post and I'm glad you found alternatives... but I'll still try to reproduce this scenario you reported and I'll tell you what I got... I entered more to answer your message there in the other post when this one appeared here for me, because I'm going to sleep a little now since I'm awake until this time working. I loved your testimony in the messages for the idiot (sorry for the term used), it was very well said and it just shows that there are more important things and people with strength and will to overcome what life sometimes imposes on us. Congratulations and much success to you. As soon as I really have time to experience the scenario with dedication, I'll let you know the result, ok?

[@coffeelover1456]

@@Vexarax Ahh that really happens, things like that are easy to happen when we're editing, even more so if it's a bigger, more complex edit... Then we sneer, laugh and continue our editing 😂

[@Vexarax]

@@coffeelover1456 no pressure on reproducing the red bar annoyance! But say you get a full episode of a show (Game of Thrones, Witcher etc, like 50 mins) and want to edit 30 seconds of it. You open the Cutter and Splitter tool and set the markers, then you close the tool and delete the segments on either side of the part you want to keep. Then you open Cutter and Splitter again to more precisely trim your 30 seconds frame by frame, and unfortunately the _entire_ episode is retained, so if you skip back too far in your clip you go to an earlier point in the deleted part of your episode (and if you accidentally edit the deleted part, it deletes your clip) 😱 Prior to the update, the parts you delete would remain deleted, making editing your work in the Cutter and Splitter easy and precise. Now it's not only difficult, it's also dangerous because it's easy to accidentally edit the deleted part and lose your edit!! I've just stopped using the Cutter and Splitter entirely, which is sad because it's a great tool - but it's very odd that someone decided it would be beneficial to retain all the deleted material (especially considering it ruins your edit if you accidentally work in the red part which is easy when you're trying to work with a tiny clip within a huge amount of deleted footage). If it affects enough people they may revert it back to how it used to be, fingers crossed! (or maybe there is an advanced editing reason to retain the deleted material?). But other than that I love the program!! Though I am still slightly deaf from turning my audio to 100 instead of MINUS 100 lol oops fail. I did it twice tonight somehow :p It's 4.42am here, I am also going to sleep ^_^

Thank you for all your comments, Coffee Lover. Regarding discovering little things: we do add little things here and there with each release, so we'll probably need another "Getting started" video in about a year or so, to cover them all.

What A Editing Software ( For Little KZbin ) Thanks To VSDC Team Love From India

[@thegirlsilove]

I've watched several beginning tutorials...all of them do the same thing...they go through too many of the options without showing the process from beginning to end. That is what I would like to see. When you are starting out, too many 'options' confuse the issue. In the beginning, I don't care how many places I can import a video...I want to see 'one' then show the next step, then the next step, then the finished video

[@Mo-Mo-Mo-17]

Thank U for your Efforts 💚

[@neo_atlas2388]

So I've been using this software for awhile and I have to say the recent update has caused alot of frustration. Cutting and Splitting footage has never been more confusing and unintuitive. I cut a scene from footage and the cut scene still the ENTIRE video itself, which means its hard to keep track of where the specific piece of footage is. If you stretch the footage slightly in either direction you completely lose the scene. Why was this decision made? Cutting and splitting was so easy before this update. Is there anyway at all I can access the previous version of VSDC?

[@VirtualizerExtreme]

Nice, with it's absurdily low requirements (1 GB RAM, I mean come on, chrome consumes more RAM than this whole video editor) one might think this editor only does basic stuff but it does pack quite the punch! Now there are more advanced alternatives out there, but I don't think an old laptop is gonna appreciate them, so a mid-advanced editor for low end PC's running smoothly seems pretty promising!

[@Rasthro]

Hi, My name is Rasthro, I use VSDC Pro Video Editor for my videos and it is an amazing experience editing my videos in a professional video editor like VSDC, Anyways I suggest a feature called "Motion smoothing" where the tool creates new fake motions in a 30fps or 15fps animations to make the motion smooth, It is also known as "Frame Interpolation" I hope you took my idea and you will add it on future updates

[@VSDCFreeVideoEditor]

Hi, Rasthro! That sounds like a really cool trick. Thanks! We’ll look into that and definitely add your idea to our to-do list.

[@josephudana.k.a.jhoematang460]

thanks for this outstanding tutorial

[@VSDCFreeVideoEditor]

You're very welcome!

[@lanksterprice]

How to start? I own your program and have used it so little as I find that its very easy to get lost just trying to make a video I turn to anther program as I find its easy to get what I need dont in few clicks and it runs my 2000X video speed good.. When doing this in yours I have yet to get it to work.. Its something in your program thats eating up a lot of system. If other video editors can do it smoothly at 720 and yours is so much better, why dose it hang up.. Yes I have gone threw your videos on how to fix it with little luck. What I found is that If I edit the basic video, speed it up and then build it as a MP4 and bring it back in and add all the other stuff it runs much better. This was my work around to the problem of dealing with such speeds.. (amd ryzen 7 5700G 3.80 -16 GB - win 11 pro) .. Over all the program can be very overwhelming to new users who know little about this and has what I would call a steep learning curve. The click her then over here, then this , and that, move this, click that, ok on that box, next, and pow you just got your first name in... you get what Im saying.. As you know your program in and out and understand what it can do I was hopping that you guy would come up with what I would like to call a "LITE version" of your program.. Something to think about.. TY and I will keep plugging away.

[@coffeelover1456]

I don't know if I understood correctly what you said, so if I say something that doesn't correspond with what you said, please disregard... Ease of Use: For all the people I introduced to VSDC (and there were many) they all found the program super easy to use, they quickly understood the general functioning and how I always indicate the material on the VSDC website for people to study, quickly they were using more advanced features and tools... some even said that anyone who has used Powerpoint in their life can use VSDC easily; Equipment: VSDC is among the software that requires less resources to run, being possible to use VSDC in low-end machines... I could see this for some people that I introduced VSDC who don't work professionally with video editing but want to make their videos with quality... Of course, you shouldn't expect miracles because editing and finishing videos requires equipment with a good standard of performance at the very least; Lite Version: I didn't understand it, I couldn't make the slightest sense so I can't talk about it; Workflow: I didn't understand the flow you reported in the msg, the problem you faced, I honestly couldn't understand it, but it seems to me something strange in the how-to process and not in VSDC

[@coffeelover1456]

I hope you can continue using VSDC and investing in your learning... it's an excellent video editing software, it can easily be used within a professional editing workflow. I hope you have a better experience with VSDC, more and more!

[@Vexarax]

@Lankster Price - I have no editing training at all, and only properly started using comps for editing a couple of years ago (I'm in my 30s) yet I have found VSDC the easiest and simplest to master for what I require :o I have even been able to invent new things I couldn't find tutorials for (like extreme custom art subtitles). I am editing very heavy 1080p footage for hours on end every day, and I do all of this on the free version, on an Acer all-in-one comp I bought in maybe 2016? It's system is so old/low that I am totally unable to upgrade to Windows 11. I tried other programs but couldn't get them to run on my comp. What program are you using that is easier and runs more smoothly because I have never come across one, especially at a comparable price (ie free)!

excellent all video

[@elrashomakween]

hello, I just installed the software, but compared to the workspace of the editor in your videos, my workspace is too tight, it's like the different parts of the workspace are squeezed together, it gives a claustrophobic feeling, even the video preview is really small, my PC resolution is 1080 x 1920, is there any way to make it look for a lack of better word "wider"? Do you need a screenshot of my workspace?

[@VSDCFreeVideoEditor]

Hello, please consult this tutorial kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZu9napjqNRjh7M Our team generally records tutorials on 4K or 2K screens, which means the workspace might appear slightly different on regular HD monitors. However, there's a simple solution to ensure a consistent experience. You can manually customize your workspace and save this configuration using the convenient "panes manager" feature.

Wanted to ask about an issue I’ve had with cutting and splitting. I understand how it works, and have been able to get through my videos fine, but whenever I make a split in my video, it takes forever to load and will normally bring the program into not responding. My pc is more than powerful enough, and I have the pro version bought for the extra hardware acceleration. This problem makes editing my videos take much much longer, and was wondering if there were any recommendations on how I could possibly fix this?

[@VSDCFreeVideoEditor]

Hello. Sometimes a preview window may lag. Lagging is resulted from the fact that the editor is processing all changes made. It doesn’t affect the resulted video Have you seen this tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHK2hHmNf62qmNk&t ? High quality/high-resolution Project/4K projects: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5WUhYugjrKopc0

Nice entry level tutorial, very helpful, thanks. I have a question, is it possible to add chapters in VSDC? I am making home videos of my kids and those can be quite long. I would like the ability to add chapters so I could easily skip to the next chapter with my remote instead of the longer and not as precise fast forward. I have been looking everywhere for this but can't find the answer, which makes me doubt if it's even possible, which I would think it is as this doesn't seem to be an advance features.

@@VSDCFreeVideoEditor Thanks for the reply. My understanding is that MP4 does support the additions of chapters, yet all the video editing softwares I have looked at don't seem to supports this unless it is to create DVDs or BluRays. In an age where unfortunately physical media is disappearing and digital media is prominent, I would think this feature would have been made available when creating digital content as it is pretty useful, especially if you are creating long files.

Hi. Just I want to know why the videos after converting. Are so large. They are very big. I mean size of the videos. A video of 1 hour sized 4GB.(videos for KZbin channel). Please answer me.

[@VSDCFreeVideoEditor]

Hello, The size of the exported file depends on its bitrate. Please consult our tutorial - kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3i1iYmOh7mKsJI The program calculates mathematically it in a different way, it doesn’t display the original bitrate of the video that you can find in file’s properties. The file size cannot be lower than the input one because while conversion VSDC encodes a new file. If you want to keep good quality, you need to set high bitrate, but the higher bitrate is, the large file you get after export. Also, you can set up the file size in the Profile settings, but it may potentially affect the output quality. (Edit profile --> Encoder mode --> Target file size --> File size --> OK ) If you require any further information, feel free to contact us at [e-mail]

How can I get started in editing musical video as beginner.

[@VSDCFreeVideoEditor]

Hello, just like any other video, creating musical videos begins with importing your media into the program. Drag your files onto the timeline, arrange them, and use cutting tools for precise trimming. Following this, you can initiate the synchronization process between video and audio, and our channel offers various tutorials on this subject. If you lack a video track, consider adding audio abstractions or text to the scene. For synchronizing any on-screen object with the music's rhythm, the "Edit the Beat" tool proves invaluable. In essence, the editor provides a multitude of tools depending on your creative goals. Feel free to contact us at [e-mail], and our support team will be more than happy to assist you with any questions or requests.
