on give away of the day, going to link provided just sends a person in circles. How do I register?

I've sent 2 requests to support for the activation code as I did not receive the key on the original download request.

Never received activation code. Sent two messages to support@videosoftdev.com.
Thanks

Never received activation code

It's been about 20 hours and no key was sent to me. I submitted 3 times and send one email to support. Would like a key for pro version.

Downloaded and installed fine. Licence code email received promptly. However, unless I'm overlooking something, it seems that the software does NOT allow for audio to be recorded when doing a screen capture. Anyone else experiencing this?

i haven't received my key also.
sent email for help also.
no choice, just wait.
really no luck.
2nd time happened with GOTD since last Dec.

win10x 64 user.

I always liked VSDC, and I was a bit sad when I found out it was getting paid features (except for it, there didn't seem to exist any good, 100% free video editor, something like GIMP or Blender, but for movies)
Today, after a long while, I installed it because I randomly had to edit a video (I had some old installation of it on my HDD, but it was rendered useless after changing the OS).
It's quite funny that I happened to stumble upon this giveaway on the very same day. I was really lucky. I often forget to check out GOTD (as most giveaways here are boring, in my opinion), and today I somehow decided to visit the site and found this cool giveaway only 4 hours before the end!

Installed, Went to website as directed and filled out the form. Waited over 2 hours and still no activation code has been received in my email. What's the problem?

VSDC guys or Giveaway guys, HELP! I've been at this for nearly 40 minutes and I CANNOT find the frigging Activation/Activate box to put my license key in. I've gone to the page the Read Me page gave me an url for and none of the boxes on that page, or any of the drop down, top bottom or middle have an Activation box to sign up in. I would really like to get this but no joy! Please help me, quick before I run out of time.

The URL my read me page says to go to is:
http://www.videosoftdev.com/giveawayoftheday#cid_379/
but unless I'm blind there is no way to activate my key on that page.
Help!

Confusion reigns here regarding obtaining an activation key.

Firstly, I decided not to use social sharing and after only several minutes received an email with a download link to the VSDC installer. However that turned out to be for the regular installer program video_editor.exe which DOES NOT CONTAIN a Readme file containing activation details.

I sent an email to the VSDC team requesting activatin details.

Then I weakened and used the social sharing (Facebook) option. This time, immediately as a result of posting to Facebook, I got a download link to a ZIP file and this time downloaded the usual GOTD zip file (called VSDCProVideoEditor577-db29ao.zip) which did contain the desired Readme file.

A minute after that I also received an email from the VSDC Team providing an activation keym thank you Jay!

Summary: it seems necessary to use the Facebook social sharing pathway to get the zip file (and not the exe file installer).

Received my activation code almost immediately. This looks to be an impressive set of tools for capturing and editing video. Thank-you for your offering.

I don't know about program improvements but I would have liked more technical specs on on your website. Or if they are there, make them easier to find. For example what kind of input files can it operate on?

I think this occupies an awkward ground. Too complicated for the casual user who wants to stitch together a few wedding videos. But not quite up there with the heavy hitters. Its still a welcome addition to my growing suite of video editors (there is always a file a file that causes me trouble and have to try several programmes to get it working). A little non-intuitive as I had to spend 5 minutes working out to import several clips to join them. However it does what it claims and seems stable and gives a good quality output.

I am having a different problem- when I click the activation window I get a message that says "Can't transmit data. try again later" Thanks for any help.

Been waiting for HOURS. No activation code yet. And yes I always check the spam folder. I check the GOTD site EVERY day for YEARS - first time this has ever happened.

Took a high quality 1920x1080 MTS video and changed it to 1920x1080 AVI using settings of DVD and High Quality. The sky and some background objects came out blotchy. The file size was also smaller than other editors and converters I tried using the same clip. Yes, I did do some editing to the clip. OK for free use if you have nothing else. Not going to keep.

Downloaded, installed & activated OK on Windows 7, 32 bit. I normally just play around with a new program to see if it is user friendly enough to work without reading the instructions. The gaudy oversized icons to select different features of the program weren't encouraging.

First thing I tried was the screen capture shortcut on the desktop. Found that the "Audio capture device" is grayed out and is set to not record audio. I could not find a way to tell it I have a sound card etc on my system.

I then tried the video capture shortcut. I assume this is to capture a video playing on my desktop. Normally you next would have to set the portion of the screen where the video is located. No way to do that or to load a video directly into the program. Since I don't have a video camera that ends that feature.

I next checked out the editor portion of the program and it does have a lot of features. But I found it hard to read the low contrast text on a similar colored background for my old eyes.

I went back to the programs I've been using for several years (Snap & MS Movie maker).

I did find out if you just uninstall the program there are many entries left in the registry (which Revo Uninstaller found and removed). Revo uses the normal software's uninstaller first and then does an intensive scan of the registry to get rid of the leftovers.

Hi guys from VSDC,

I get "Invalid license code" error message when I enter the code that I received from you.

What should I do to activate it successfully?

I have Win10, 64 bits. Thanks.

The web-site says all Pro users get a link to the PDF manual in the licence e-mail, but I don't see one, just links to the Free version's tips and hints plus Videos?

I had previously install the free version of VSDC and later the Give AwayOfTheDay version. I really like the program so I downloaded this give away and installed it. The installation process asked me to let it uninstall the previous version which I did. After the install finished I attempted to input the activation code but the "activate" was gray and I could not input the code. However the program seems to be working okay. I made a small change to a video and exported the changed file okay. It appears that my previous activation caused it to not need a new activation code.

Security code. Can not read. Some joke

Installed and worked as expected. At this time I can't check it extensively. I test it this weekend hoping it works as claimed.

Installed, Went to website as directed and filled out the form. Waited over 3 hours and still no activation code has been received in my email. What's the problem?

Still awaitng email with code after 5 hours.

I don't get any emails, neither the one with the download link if I choose not to do the social media thing, nor the activation code if I give in and do the FaceBook share.

Very nice tool for video editing. I’ve loaded my family video just to combine some episodes together. I was surprised with available features and visual effects. Video tutorials are lovely!

Thanks. I've had the free version before and it 's the best software I could find for joining two videos side by side into one video

Will this version stay PRO life time or not and it is just "a demo" for one year? Thank you.

Het programma claimt filmpjes te maken voor 4k maar is zelf niet klaar voor een 4k-beeldscherm: alle tekst is onleesbaar en onwerkbaar klein. Gedeïnstalleerd.

Have you tried your spam folder? My activation message came instantly. In any event, you still have the free version!

Downloaded.. installed no problem.. registered it per the readme file... been 3 hours and still haven't gotten an email with the activation code/number...

Uninstall I guess...

For those of you wondering where they are based,looks like,according to press releases,(Google-search "Flash-Integro LLC mailing address",minus quotation marks) and look at the results regarding press releases,towards the bottom of the first page-they are based out of Russia-Moscow,to be specific,from what I can determine.Personally,I could care less WHERE they are based,as long as the software is up to par,or better,and the English translation for the user is intelligible.Probably the reason the Software dev is being reticent about their location,is because of all the recent brouhaha over a situation that does not exist,IMO.I don't think I need to go into,nor do I want to,unfurl a long explanation there,to keep my comments brief, and on-topic.I've actually got some of their software that was offered recently on a giveaway,but it was the free version,so I am definitely going to give the PRO version being given away today a spin.I also follow them on Facebook,and they are always giving instructional, how-to videos,and tips and hints.Also,I always notice when a Software Dev takes the time to address GOTD's visitors comments,and questions-to me,that is usually,almost always,an indicator that they actually care,as long as they are not being flippant,or dismissive,in their comments.Thanks,BTW, to Flash-Integro,and GOTD.Oгромное спасибо,(thanks a ton; lit: a giant thank you) [agromnaye spasiba].

Just putting in my 2 cents worth.

Before I download this, how does it compare to Corel Video Studio X10?

I see that the PRO version is an annual subscription. I assume that means that next year, it will cost $19.99 to maintain the ability to use the PRO version and that non-subscription will cause this download to revert to the free version?

Here a review of this product from PCMAG:

http://www.pcmag.com/review/351751/vsdc-video-editor-pro

It looks like not a great deal, honestly!

I am confused. It says FREE at lest twice but also says normally 19.99

What is the real story, tell us, free or not? If I can download it for free, why is it on this site?

is this company Indian?

Many thanks! This software is just so intuitive and easy to use – and I can get creative and figure out different ways to do things with it. I’ve been mentioning it in the end credits of my animated shorts!
Again, thanks for the giveaway and the great software!
