I finally figured out that the little green play button icon opens an import File Explorer window for video clips. One case of that is when choosing to start with a blank project, since there's no Import media button. One thing I could not find in any of these many toolbars was a Help button.
Features include effects such as color correction and filters, 4K editing, blending, masking, chroma-keying, waveforms, 3D charts, and combining multimedia. Startup choices include Blank Project, Slideshow, Import Content, Video Capture, and Screen Capture.
As in Office apps, you can customize the small Quick Access toolbar at the very top, with the standard New, Open, and Save options, but also a Preview button. You can minimize the ribbon to show just the smaller editing toolbars.
The interface is now pleasingly dark, and the top menu switches the toolbar ribbon among Projects, Scenes, Edit, View, Editor, Export, Tools, and Activation modes. The center of the program's startup interface shows five square buttons under the Start Project Now group and eight round ones under Get to Know Top Features. You often find yourself searching for a feature that's buried behind a Properties panel accessed by a right-click. These are actually links to web help pages.Īs you might expect from such an inexpensive program, VSDC's interface lacks some of the polish of, say, CyberLink PowerDirector ($69.99 at CyberLink). The choices include Open a New Project, Start Editing, and Export a Project. When you first run the program, a dialog box offers help with getting started. After installation, the program takes up 284MB on the hard drive. The installer weighs in at 70 MB-svelte, compared with most video editors, which often top the scales at over a gigabyte. The program runs on Windows XP SP3 through Windows 10 (though no one should be running old, unsupported operating systems!).
