#VSDC Drone video 250 ft.

[@matglenday5428]

#VSDC new to the game and exploring all the possibilities of drone footage and photography, I have just got a DJI Mavic Air and am loving the fact I found this channel of yours. Very informative, thorough and clear precise explanations makes life a little easier for some! Keep up the great work you are doing can’t wait for the next video. Cheers

[@droppedoff6726]

#VSDC I like to make artistic montage videos of various topics. I normally get the footage online or from my classmates and VSDC has been so helpful in letting me get that done. My only dislike is when I attempt to do something that I think would turn out pretty cool and the program tells me I need a Pro License! I would really love a Pro License since it would let me do some things that I've been wanting to experiment with and play around with in the program.

[@GerritVanWyk5610]

#VSDC Thank You For My Pro License. I Want To Make Local Videos To Promote My Community And Also To Make Commercial Videos.

#VSDC I Have Been Making Memes And Posting Them On Instagram And FaceBook, But Now I Want To Take This To The NEXT LEVEL And Make A KZbin Channel And Post Meme Compilations And Video Memes There!!! THANK YOU, GOD BLESS YOU!!!!

[@VSDCFreeVideoEditor]

Thank you for a fantastic tutorial, Ed! This one is indeed one of the best ones we've seen ;-)

[@TheDigitographer]

I want to create LUTS, filters, color gradients, animations and motion special effects. I want to test drive this editing software and show up those premium brands.

[@MarshalNagpal]

I also have problem with #VSDC pro, in preview video (1080 60fps) lags and very sluggish. It becomes very difficult to pick correct scene. I have 8gb ram, ssd, i5, win10, 64bit. Pls suggest if am missing some configuration.

[@SnatchedOwl1289]

i deleted ur software because i could not do roblox stop motion on it

what are the "segment selectors" called?

[@TheRealStacker]

I was so frustrated when I started trying this on my own. This video changed everything. Thank so much for your time. It's made it enjoyable

[@TheRealStacker]

@John Williams did you do the update? I'm not thrilled with it. I'll have to watch mine again. Seems smooth....ish. Could be better

[@TheRealStacker]

@John Williams curious. Are you using gopro video?

[@officialWWM]

Me too, it took me so long to do anything!

[@philllewellyn2217]

Hi Ed. As a raw beginner I was becoming frustrated with all the other tutorials that either skipped over things or assumed a level of knowledge and understanding. Your tutorial was a great step by step guide and has given me so much more confidence. Thank you.

[@cr34myz20]

Bruh I'm not exaggerating but this is the MOST helpful editing video EVER

[@heathergeeess6541]

Omg - thank you! This is the first video that I've actually been able to learn from! Great (slow) steps for beginners, lots of handy tips (but not too overwhelming) and a lovely, calm manner. I've finally been able to edit my video with your help! :) :)

[@JerveyIT]

Thank you Ed. Your video is now 3 years old but it's still working hard and it is a real blessing. I am new to the world of video editing and I have selected VSDC as my editing program. I have much to learn but with exceptional teachers like yourself. I think I will succeed. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.

[@jamesgruhn-n0dfi647]

Just needed to add another comment Ed. This was by far the best editing video I’ve ever seen. Thank you for the in-depth explanation.

[@pattypatsspeakingjourney]

Ed, I must say, this was an EXCELLENT video. Your pace was flawless, the content dummy-proof. I was so confused and intimated by the tool. I'm new to this whole KZbin world, I didn't even know what a thumbnail was up to last week. I am now an expert, I can cut, add text, add sound, add transitions, fix saturations, brightness, you name it. I will forever be grateful. Note: This is the 4th VSDC tutorial I watch and the 1st one that my brain can actually compute. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I will forever be grateful.

[@Eevanova]

OH GOSH..THANK YOU! 🙏 I had such a mess on my editing area. I needed something like this. Step by step, repeat steps. I think I can finish editing my video now finally ...(since April lol)

[@joemurdoch4138]

Wow! Thank you. I've seen so many bad video tutorials on VSDC editor that I was about ready to delete it off my computer, but from the beginning you showed me where I was screwing up. So many of the tutorials I've run across are just video and some music and no explanation and were of no help whatsoever. Still got a lot to learn, but you gave me a good starting point.

[@wintryguy]

Hi, I'm just starting out in video. I have been taking stills for years. I live in the Lake District in the UK and got a video camera for my birthday. I am a keen hiker in the mountains in and around the Lake District and would like to be able to film and edit to show anyone who has not been here what a great place it is. I do need some basic skills though so am very glad to see you are doing tutorials to get me started.

[@pabspaladino311]

I have tried and experimented with at least 6 other video editing software downloads and struggled beyond belief. After watching this tutorial i managed to make my own video edit using multiple clips, fades and texts. I am so excited to get started on making more videos. Thank you so much!

[@vigilanthoodlum8991]

Even this is already 6months ago,I just want to say thank you. co`z I found your video it help me so much.

[@zumOku19]

When i installed vsdc, i was overwhelmed by the interface but this tutorial help me cruise through the essentials and do some basic editing. Thanks Ed!

[@amichelleproductions]

This was such a great tutorial! It felt overwhelming at first but after watching this I feel more eqipped! Thank you so much!

[@rubencalzadorosado]

Thanks so much, it was very well explained. Im a Latino pastor at FCBH, and now because of the Covid situation I was faced to record and edit my sermons and Bible study. So your tutorial is a tremendous help for me. Blessings my friend

What a fantastic tutorial. Rarely you see one video clearing all your concepts at once. Thanks

[@Hel7100]

I'd like to know: how do you keep video/audio blocks from jumping out of their places? That happens to me all the time.

[@crisptitanium]

me, too!! help! :o

[@kolozigispublishingco7351]

Thank you, Ed! Most tutorials speed through every step, can't see where they click if you blink. You did great job, and I think I will be able to actually edit some videos.

[@shubhparmar3504]

#vsdc I want to use it for game play editing .... Is it a good software for gameplay editing ????? 🤣😋✌️✌️✌️✌️

[@doctormemeable3684]

Yes a lot

[@DreamPinkClouds]

Thank you so much for this video. I LOVE how you explained everything so patiently and calmly. I feel so agitated with other tutorials lol. They either ramble on for HOURS or assume we know certain things and skip over it. This is the best video tutorials for complete beginners. Thanks again :)

[@doncanaday6406]

I am a new drone pilot and know nothing about editing but I intend to learn. I just turned 70 years young and looking forward to the next chapter which will include photography and videography. Just got a Mavic 2 Pro and used your two-part videos on how to get started. Absolutely shortened my time in getting started. Thank you. I would love to have the VSDC editor.

[@howardgoakey7192]

I have been inspired by KZbin to start shooting and editing all of our travels. We are pre-retirement by a few years and I want to have this video thing down by then to show the grand kids.

[@thomasjehn4529]

Reviewed a great number of videos. This is one of the very best on YT. Hope this helps others.

[@GLICKMIRE]

Spent about 2 hours trying to cut out a segment of a video and finally gave up. After watching this video, I'm going to go back and try again. Will probably be playing your video over and over since it covers everything I want to do. Have tried basic video editors but I would really like to learn how to make VSDC work.

[@grahamjerome1057]

I'd been struggling with this program for a while even though I'd watched a couple of 'tutorials', but this has helped me come to grips with VSDC. You're right, the video contains enough to get anyone started and make a decent product. As with most projects it's important to have all the clips ready before you start.

[@ceslawton7822]

I wish I would have found you a week and a half ago when I got my new 2 Peo. As a first timer I struggled to learn the smart controller. DJI should have your beginning videos recommended. You’re the best I’ve found. Thanks!

[@MeAndMyRoyalEnfield]

I do KZbins and know nothing about editing. Been using VSDC for a year and learned a lot from this video. Thank you.

[@faustine365]

BEST Video editor Tutorial out there ! Clear, to the point 👌, beginner friendly 👌 👍 👏. I truly appreciate 🙏 your help 😀

[@levimust4479]

Excellent clear tutorial. Thanks you so much for not including annoying background music.

[@TrEooX]

I've used VSDC before with my son's school task, now got video to edit again. Your vid is of great help man!

[@ChrisZwolinski]

I have been trying to figure out the software for a while and have just finished my first because you explained very clearly for a newbie like me to comprehend. Thank you so much for this video.

[@richardwills7207]

Great tutorial. I watched several tutorials. Most of them rapidly click through the settings. Their screen looks different than my screen and I often can not figure out what they actually did. I LOVE that you took your time and explained. Even so, I had to try things one step at a time, over and over, and now, I think I finally am getting the hang of VSDC. I am still trying to figure out how put transitions exactly where I want them. I am trying to decide between Corel Ultimate editor and VSDC. I like the VSDC price and once I started getting the hang of VSDC, I think it actually provides better editing control than Corel at a fraction of the cost. Thanks for a great tutorial.

[@ksilucas6530]

Your chanel is the best for learn instead reading book,... more deep and detail... welldone ed

[@saeedaqureshi786]

Hi Ed, no dought this one is one of the best video tutorials I have come across. I am new to VSDC and now I feel I can do the same quickly and more confidently. Thank you for making me feel as if I know all that.

[@cynthiaboateng431]

Literally just downloaded from the link below and followed your instructions. This is awesome. Well presented Ed. Thanks so much

[@nancyh3362]

I am an online health coach and just started making my own videos. VSDC free version was already on my computer when I purchased it. Had no idea it was there! I am excited to start using it! Thanks for your video!

[@keers41]

thank you for your very clear and calm explanation of the VSDCvideo editor! i almost wanted to remove it from my pc but now i realy am inspired to start editing 😉👍

[@dozerboymiller]

Thanks so much for making a slow and concise editing tutorial. You made it very easy for a newbie to figure out how it's done. I looked at a few other tutorials and they smoke through the editing so fast that there was no way to follow the steps needed if a person doesn't know the terms used and where to find the editing tools.

[@SewlyJo]

This is my first video editor....thanks so much, you did a great job on this tutorial. I actually learned somethings. The other people suck.

[@Scott_AI5EF]

The best beginner VSDC tutorial. Thank you!

[@dreamedfriend]

Thanks for the help! Also, this is the first video editor I'm using right now. it really helps with editing gaming

[@joshuamorello2014]

Thanks, Ed, for the awesome video!! I am a beginner at this video editing thing and this is my first program I have started to really try to work with. After downloading dozens of other apps and programs, they were quickly deleted as I found them not to be a good fit. FINALLY I found VSDC and I really like it so far despite the huge learning curve. You're video (s) have helped lift the fog, so to speak, and thank you!

[@sportchannelhd7159]

thats the most fantastic ways to learn the new program i have launched lately yesterday

[@thomasschlieben5945]

Thank you, this has given me so much confidence to create. I'm going to make a video for a Amazon product.

[@simonforrister3820]

Brilliantly explained. Easy to listen to and follow. Like the way you sometimes repeated what to click to make sure we got it. Thanks. You should do more of these tutorials.

[@ky-gearguy1742]

I had watched several videos and none had shown how to auto save your work. I went to my project and had lost everything, good experience. Thanks

[@DAKSVLOG894]

Thanks. I am excited to try it. This is my first editing a video. You explained it very well.

[@jerryh1937]

Best VSDC tutorial. Great job. Thanks. Very thorough and practical. Nicely paced.

[@aviotec846]

very nice video! your voice over and speed of explanation was very good. i only had to hit pause one time!

[@peteandpuy]

Thank you, thank you. I've got four other video editor programs on my computer, all with issues that make them unacceptable. I did a lot of review reading and just thought VSDC was going to be the tool for me. I quickly got into trouble with how to edit the beginning of clips, it wasn't intuitive, no handles from that direction. So, 40 minutes later and this tutorial has me up to speed. Kudos. Now to delete some video editors.

[@toxicspringtrap4878]

the best explanation for using VSDC! my parents bought me a PC so I will be editing my gameplay videos here. Thanks bro! Stay safe and God Bless you sir.

[@SharonWolfbling]

Very clear I like the no nonsense approach, think I will download this and hope I can speed stuff up easily as I would like to demonstrate painting techniques. Thank you x

[@shivadathanilkumar9239]

This is the best basic tutorial i have ever seen

[@heatherpratt9724]

Thanks for this very helpful tutorial. I can follow along, not too fast but has lots of tips for editing a video.

[@manishkgawande7688]

thanks you gave me the key to unlock the first step of being a youtuber

[@deborahbice8048]

This was a great tutorial . I do time-lapse and I would like to know how to mix my videos with stills. Thanks again for this wonderful beginning tutorial.

[@lunardawnimages6838]

I've just started using VSDC and this video is helping tremendously!

[@ronrhondacrofoot8807]

Great tutorial. I will use this editing program for amateur family drone videos.

[@madredsbloodrazor1620]

I haven't touch any editing tools for yrs and suddenly i need it for our presentation vsdc is a treasure

[@jamespotts419]

I think this is VERY well done. Nice work, Ed!

[@elsathelioness]

My Grand Daughters' transitions from babies to age they are now, blending videos with photos of them. I've been studying You Tube videos, like yours, and learn by trial and error in the editor.

[@billfearheller4179]

Ed, I plan to post some videos of my recumbent trike rides and drone footage to KZbin so my family in the U.S. and Australia can view them easily from anywhere they can access KZbin. Thanks to you (and VSDC) for the free VSDC version and your tutorial. It's a great start. bf

[@zinminphyo6707]

Thank you very much Ed Ricker, Your tutorial video is very effective for me . Have a good day.

[@ethicsexistentialism4191]

Hey Ed, obviously I'm way late for the competition, but this is my very first time editing. I'm doing a teaching class for Skillshare. Thanks so much, this video was so helpful!! Kind regards, Mary from Australia 🙏😁👍

[@ritvikamin1915]

I like you're patience Thanks for the cool tutorial

[@draganaz6289]

Such a wonderful tutorial, with sooooo pleasant voice and no wasted seconds. It was explained so clear. I enjoyed watching :)

Sooooo helpful - this is exactly what I have been looking for! Thank you 🙏 And you have a really nice smooth voice :-) you could do a little meditation video to go with your drone footage 😊

[@lowcarbworld7241]

Thanks so much that is the best tute I've watched so far (I've watched a lot!) I can now try and edit my first video instead of clicking random buttons trying to work out what they do!

[@santa-all-year2997]

Your video made the most sense of any I have seen. I just don't understand about the numbers I should choose. I use an Ipad to shoot with. What are the numbers I should use, please? I will be referring back to your video when I am stuck. Thank you.

[@BubblesPothowari]

Enjoyed the Simplicity of the approach. Free Software. Free Training !!!!

[@NCSUME1]

Fantastic! Thank you! This is very helpful to editing newbies. I wish i would've watched this long ago! My first time I got lost when the details of the clip came up and the "sprite" disappeared. Same thing happened when i did the "page turn". I ended up with like 18 layers for 2 short clips and 2 txt boxes. ..LOL... This was very helpful

[@kuscheknud8224]

Excellent tutorial! Thank you very much Ed.

[@drumtravelfun]

Great intro video. Glad you mentioned about editing to tempo/vibe/etc, of a audio track. As a drummer, that's right in my wheelhouse. Cheers.

[@arnelmadrazo8123]

Thanks Sir! Very clear guide to a newbie like me. Great tutorial. Simple and real.

[@mcs9776]

I really enjoyed watching your video. It has given me confidence! I've had all of our old VHS and Hi8 videos digitally transferred and I'm about to start editing them. I'd like to personalize separate movies for each of my family members. VSDC looks like the perfect video editor for me. I'm assuming I'll be able to mix in some old photos (that have been digitized), too. Great tutorial! Thank you!!!

[@superslug2516]

[@bluephase3558]

Great video. You explain so well. You even mention/explain events like hitting the space bar key (which we can't see in the video) and the shortly popping up autosave window. Wonderful! This is so helpful! Many many thanks! I wish you all the best. :)

[@FrankBoston]

I've done photo editing for years. Now I have a DJI Spark, I'm just starting my journey with video editing. It would be great to end up with a Pro copy. You did a good job with the video and have a nice calm voice. Keep it up.

[@bertkraan2817]

Very helpful as I’m forced by corona to instruct my collegues using video-tutorials, thanks

[@yrrah23]

The techs at GoPro suggested this software. I've upgraded from a GoPro Hero 3+ to a new 4K GoPro Hero 7, so I'm looking t make some 4K productions. This has all been a huge nightmare so far. First, I wasn't using a fast enough card. Then the battery went haywire. They sent me new one. Then I find out that the old GoPro studio (which I really liked) is history. I wish someone would have told me ALL these things ahead of time! Now I'm trying to get this software working and Jeeeezus! Me and you are looking at 2 different things! Fed up! But thanks..

[@luismanchego6856]

Thanks very much for the time and effort you have put in doing this tutorial. I think I'll be able to start editing my videos now. Great job 👍

[@bobhamilton9258]

Thanks for this video. I am brand new at editing. I have been on the other side of the cameras for many years as an actor.

[@TimHaunFishing]

I'm a little late for the giveaway. but I'd just like to say thank you. I intend to get my feet wet editing all sorts of videos that I've filmed myself. Fishing videos, a variety of repair videos and some paintball footage. This really has given me the confidence to give putting videos on youtube a go!

[@nickkarasek8787]

I'm building training videos for my karate studio for use on my (local) website. Sections of dojo training sessions for demo purposes will be stitched with examples of specific sequences performed in the "correct" way. My main problem is that the format of the master videos is mpg - which itself needs to be edited into smaller pieces. I was hoping that VSDC could trim my ham-handed snipping of the mpg - without having to create a multi-gigabyte mp4 - it seems that the free version only creates mp4s - conversion is implied - and required. Anyway - after reviewing multiple software solutions, I will likely spend the time and effort to continue with VSDC - it solves all of my immediate needs and has so much more that I will likely use in the future. Thank you for a very clear explanation of VSDC - I wish all other teaching resources were as complete - and relevant.
