360 degree and 3D video editing

Audio processing

VSDC enables a video to be split into audio and video layers and processed as separate elements: as waveforms and video tracks.

Audio editing tools and effects:

The Audio Spectrum tool animates a waveform to the rhythm of music or other sounds.

The integrated voice-over function allows you to record and add speech to the footage.

Audio amplitude effects (normalization, fading in and out, amplification) help to correct a faulty soundtrack.

Delay, time stretch and reverse effects are coordinated so that audio tracks have a relevant sound: as if they were being sung from a chorus, stretched in time or played backwards.

DeNoise tools (median filter and audio gate) to reduce audio noise.

Working with multiple audio tracks at the same time

Feedback

The PC Magazine lists the VSDC Free Video Editor under 10 free video editing tools as "all-rounder for fast video processing." It praises the usability and clarity of the program thanks to the ribbon concept. The less appealing design with small font and gray coloring is criticized. In addition, the user must be careful not to install adware on his computer at the same time during installation .

Also GIGA software , the download portal of technology online magazine "GIGA" praises the ease of use "combined with extensive functionality."

The editorial team of Foto Hits magazine describes the user interface of the Flash-Integro VSDC Video Editor as clear, but “some functions are somewhat hidden”.
