I just received the email on the ninth, too bad!
Looks like it may have been a keeper.

free on the 8th but email didn't arrive in my UK mailbox until 2am on the 9th!!
Disappointing as from comments, well worth a try - same problem as Ms N #20?

Installed just fine. The application is failing to start most of the times. For the first time, it showed a message about update (I said not to check for updates), but then no main application window showed up. On sunsequent runs, no window shows up at all. As a result, while the application is installed, I am not able to put in the registration key either. Since it seems working for most people, I wonder what's wrong. Am.using Windows 10 with all updates, on a powerful machine.

Registration is INVALID - apparently a different time zone, or????

I am looking for 1 thing.
The ability to load audio track of my choice so as to adjust it to sync properly with the video playback.
It seems to software can do this.
I do not care about the rest of the bells and whistles.

Simple intuitive interface that has been seen in most video editors of this genre, consequently migrating to this new software is easy. It certainly has additional features over Wondershare Filmora and it is much more snappier in performance too. Improvements wise, I wish it supported GPU accelerated exports and did not have the 'no commercial use' clause in the giveaway license.

Posted at 3AM Eastern, but didn't arrive till 9 PM. What's wrong?

I just received this at 9:12 pm EST in the United States.
When does the offer expire?

Has the look and feel of a light version of PowerDirector. As most people will never have a need for the 'advanced features' of a pro editor, this is a great program.
For people unfamiliar with editing and think it looks complicated, no need to feel intimidated. Do a few practice videos and you'll get the hang of it very quickly. Once you have the basics, it all comes very easy.

Lightweight, all options the average user will need, lifetime license; definite recommend taking advantage of this offer.

After looking for a program that would edit video tapes captured into MPG files, and merging dashcam videos into one video, this program worked well. The editor works well, but there are still some annoying gripes. The arrow keys go back granually - frame by frame - but if you want to go back a minute or five, you have to click randomly on the scrollbar. Shift+Arrow or Ctrl+Arrow don't do anything.
When exporting, you only have a dropdown for setting the bitrate. This means you can only set to specific values - not values you want. Additionally, leaving the other options set to 'default' actually means 'minimal', when someone would think this means 'optimal'. So leaving everything to 'default' gives a 90 MB file, but explicitly set the resolution to 1280x720 and the size goes up to 200 MB ... so what size was it set to for 'default' ? Who knows.
Exporting to H.264 displays a dialog, but the time remaining is meaningless. It starts at something like 13 minutes, but then goes to -24 minutes. Then -9 minutes. Reported this to their support and got a boilerplate response. This leads me to a worry about this giveaway locked at v4.9. This program has been updated frequently in the last couple of months - something you'll lose out on through this giveaway.
Nice software, but let down by some horrible glitches. If it could just sort these out, it would be like Serif - a small company that could just tackle the small home market. Compared to Easus video editor for example (which seems like its little brother) its far superior.
I've been using this since v4.1, and in that short time, it's been heavily developed and improved upon. I'd recommend keeping an eye on this software - for a little over 80 MB, its a great lightweight editor. I've also used HitFilm Express, and that's gigabytes of just bloated mess. Steep learning curve? That's almost vertical. This is pleasant to use and gives great results.
I've seen a lot of comments about hard to use - if you need tutorials please let me know - happy to use this software to create tutorials on it. :)

GOATD, thanks for including the super video editor download.

It's like a mini Filmora X with a similar dashboard layout and features but does not hog your pc resources like Filmora.

I am stoked as this is exactly what I was looking for as I use Filmora X for my main video editing, but this is an additional video editor that is brilliant as it's quick and I am very impressed with its advanced features.

If you are into video editing: don't let this one slip by. If you do I see it's reasonably priced so you can always pick it up from the vendor later if you wish.

Requested link...got it in seconds...downloaded and opened...registered...looks great.
Downloaded some of the extra graphics/sounds included amongst the freebies.
Checked all button/functions...simple enough for me. Gonna take some old mp4s and spruce them up a bit later today with this program.
Only suspect thought for me was that they are based in China; I've got my security programs all up to date and it's clean.

Installed and registered easily -- no hoops, and the registration code is provided in the readme. I used just 'GOTD' as my "email" address.

The interface is pleasing and has all the functions readily at hand that I would expect of this level of video editor, plus a few things I like to use that a number of other video editors tend to leave out: split, trim, snapshot, audio recording (voiceover, etc.), multitrack editing, transform options, and text templates. There are lots of options and the interface arrangement is neat & orderly and user-friendly.

My only two gripes are:

The maximize button actually puts the window in full screen mode. This hides my taskbar, but allows me to see the lowest track which is otherwise hidden when not in this full screen mode. When out of full screen, you can adjust the window but I cannot seem to get it to ever reach the edges of my screen with manual resizing, and it won't snap to my edges, either. Trying to resize from a corner is nearly impossible. This is annoying and the weirdest window resizing issue I think I've ever come across.

I cannot seem to figure out how to display my portrait (vertical) videos with blurred bars on either side, a feature done with a single option in the Icecream editor. I tried a split screen function (menu item 3-10) but that isn't a reasonable solution. I hope someone from TunesKit will respond.

With some minor adjustments the developer can manage, I would rank this a bit above OpenShot. Thank you to GOTD and the developer for another great offer.

What can i say, in 5-10 minutes i had a slideshow video with transistions, background music and some effects. That is what i usually upload to YouTube.

Basically the same i'd get with Microsofts own Movie Maker and more.

But it can do much more than Movie Maker, you can add Elements, Audio, Text, Effects, lots of Transitions, Animations, Regional Effects and even Split Screen.

There are lots and lots, dozens of Output Formats to choose from also for specific devices.

You can also export to Video and Audio only.

As i said, i usually do Slideshows and it did it on a tin, i'm not using such a program for professional editing, i'm not a Pro. :D

For what it does, it's a keeper and a good addition to Window's Movie Maker, in my use cases.

Lifetime license and nice GUI, i will keep it in my tools selection.

A simple yet advanced.......?? Very complicated to research and know every part of that program!

If you are just a beginner like myself all of these programs have a learning curve but YouTube and patience are your helping guide. I was able to create a short simple video with music with in 20 minutes which makes me look forward to doing more. It was easy to install, serial number is in the text file and the license is for life. Thanks GOTD, it's a keeper.

A simple yet advanced video.... very complicated to research and know all the parts that that program has!

great layout - design -- however there are no flash conversion and the converter state you can not minimize the program ...

Very similar to a free editor I downloaded from GOTD years ago and still use. This is a jazzier version, with extra effects, especially pleased to see it includes a sharpen option. Excellent giveaway, well worth having!

I tried to register it by using my email address from a text file so I don't have to type it out but the program takes over the whole screen and so I had to close it down and after restarting it I was then able to move it over to the right but then it was impossible to register it or shut it down without having to use use Ctrl Alt Del to use Task Manager to shut it down. I got it registered by moving it just enough to the left.

Not 50 shades of grey, but even black. Far too many parts that are superfluous. In other words, far too complicated to know all the parts in the short term. I downloaded the trial and deleted it after half an hour.

Not able to install without email. It is asking for email and not accepting any email address.

Hello Giveawayoftheday-Team, sending you email about the actuell Giveaway after the period is over is annoying. Please rather send it one day in advance.
