Video editing suite with many various visual and audio effects.
If you're looking for a video editing suite that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, you might want to take a look at VSDC Free Video Editor. Despite the name, it is in fact a freemium application with some restrictions until a license is purchased.
With that said, it's an interesting entry on to the video editing scene with a long list of features that stack up against some of the more expensive video editing applications like DaVinci Resolve.
To start off, the graphical user interface of the program is quite modern and has many different panels for creating and editing video projects.
Includes a few video editing extras
VSDC Free Video Editor comes with a few extra applications such as a video capture program, a disc burner, YouTube uploader, video converter and a few modular extras.
The video editing part of the suite includes a number of popular video effects like applying filters to video clips, fine-tuned adjustments to frames, transformations and some other special effects. The audio editing bit also applies effects to audio tracks imported.
VSDC Free Video Editor has a lot of the video manipulation tools that come standard in freeware and commercial products like mirror, rotate, cropping, etc.
Exporting videos
In terms of exporting videos after a project has been completed, this video editing suite can export for a variety of different formats, whether they be for YouTube or other streaming sites or for portable devices.
To sum it up, VSDC Free Video Editor has a bunch of cool features available in the core package but most of the more professional-looking tools and effects require a subscription and a license.
