M. H., thank you for the question.
VSDC updates are set up to be triggered by the user. In other words, whenever there is an update available, you will be asked if you want to download it, and if you decline the suggestion, you'll stay with the current version.

What is wrong with Companies? Surely they offer their software FOC for publicity and the hope that when the licence expires you will upgrade to the paid version or latest update. So why do they consistently fail to send the licence key, even after 7 days and 3 emails to their support department. Come on GOTD, you need to read the comments where people are saying the same thing and chase these companies to get their act together. And NO, their emails have not gone into my Junk or Spam.

I've used the free version for about six months now and love it. Found the software to be a lot easier to use than a lot of the other "free" ones around, and the output to be better quality than those ones.

Pretty slick program! I can see I'm going to have a pretty steep learning curve, but the tutorials are very nice. I have also used video pad, but the current offering may have more features. We'll see as I become more familiar with it. I think there would have been fewer negative comments had the download process been more simple.

Have been monitoring this editor since a few years back, even though the price is decent, you get what you pay for. The really only superhot feature that used to make this video editor stand out initially, was the included online video downloader, which was a unique option for a video editor, but these developers could not get the simple online downloader to ever really work correctly, so they just removed it.
Installed on my WIN 10 PC 16GB RAM pc, This program has been improved some, but still not as user friendly as similar, much better editors used.
Still somewhat a mediocre video editor missing many options, finally can import MP3 format like other editors, but video Audio sound hiss and feedback removal still lacking options, and sounds terrible.
Tested the video auto color effects, but made video color even worse.
Still No video and audio smooth blending or crossfade. Still lacking many video and audio enhancement options as previous versions, but at least their support normally responds timely.

After successful install and reboot, I get message box saying that I have a folder in C:\Program Files called "Program" which might be a problem. It further suggests that I rename the folder "Program1" which I have done. Still every time I reboot after having used the program the same message box pops up, prompting me to rename it "Program 2," etc., even though I have checked a box which says not to notify me of this again. This folder contains .p7d files. What is it for and how do I stop the message box pop ups?

As an aside, the Free Video Recorder that gets installed will only record on the system's primary monitor. I have four monitors on my stsem and would want to be ab;e to record from any one of them.

Thanks for this, a very comprehensive video editing suite.

Regarding installation, if it's necessary to use "Run as Administrator" to luunch the Setup.exe installer then:
(a) The Readme.txt should stipulate this; and
(b) Why not set the "Run as Administrator" property in the installer Setup.exe program itself?

I am using a free version of this from FlashIntegro website for 6 months and it is excellent for my needs which is mostly adding text, credits and subtitles to videos. Free version does not have hardware acceleration when exporting projects to common file formats so export is rather slow. I hope this version has hardware acceleration supported.

Hello to the developers,

I uninstalled the version from your giveaway last year and installed today's. However, the activate option is greyed-out, I suspect because the old license is still intact. I am still good to go even with the old license in place? Thanks.

My problem with this install is that the setup will install a malware: itdownload.dll and, according to Google, it's considered to be a "dangerous" malware. Fortunately, my Malware Hunter detected it, so the install went on okay without installing that malware.

One more thing: it will install (yet another) Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package. If only the programmer could have added a check box either to install it or not, or better, to make sure the setup checks "beforehand" if the package is already installed, and if it's older than the setup files.

Installed on Win7 Ultimate SP1 x64, the editor running smoothly without error, the activation key arrive at my E-mail inbox in 1-2 minutes, so far not encountering any problem

the screen capture program make a videos that run like a frame skipping at 2x normal speed with audio that running with 1x normal speed which make it not synced, unusable for me but it might be my hardware setup

Meanwhile the editor doing good job but kinda confusing for me to use and try to find "Help" but only "Video Converter" help file is exist, and the "Help" button is nowhere to be found or it so well hidden, until my finger press F1 button accidentally because of habit and it open Online Help.

i hope that Dev make a complete offline/downloadable help for using this Software because my internet not always available.

overall this software is good but not really straightforward

DGMAX99, OK, I may have answered my own question. If you open the location where the VSDC software was installed/saved, there is a folder called "FlashIntegro", open it and look for the folder called "VideoEditor", open it and then double click the "Activation.exe" line item. That should open the VSDC Video Editor Pro box where you enter the Licence Key. YAY!

The lifetime license is compelling. Does anyone know or have an opinion about how this editor ranks with Windows Movie Maker, which I already have.

Reply   |   Comment by Injeun  –  6 years ago  –  Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (-2)

Hi Injeun,
Thank you for the question.
One of the key differences between VSDC and Movie Maker is that the latter is a linear video editor, while the former is a non-linear video editor. In other words, VSDC allows you to place videos in any sequence and create more complex effects, such as a picture-in-picture, video-in-text, blend videos together, modify a particular area on a video, etc. Technically, you can think of non-linear video editors as Photoshop for videos.

Reply   |   Comment by VSDC  –  6 years ago  –  Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+8)

Injeun, I have used both. VSDC has a lot more functions/options. I highly recommend VSDC. There is a bit of a learning curve but there are videos on YouTube to help with that. Once you figure out a few things VSDC is very powerful.

Installed on my Windows 10 Desktop without any problems.
Declares itself to be the : VSDC Video Editor Pro Edition v5.8.6.806
I received the Activation Code within 10 minutes of registering. Program activated without any problems.
Although the program doesn't come with any updates or technical support, it looks like there is a good database of instructional material, including video, to help with the learning curve.
I've been looking for a program like this! Thanks GAOTD & VideoSoftDev for making it available.

Downloaded and installed on i7 Win 8.1 laptop. Selected install to D: drive (rather than my C: SSD), during install I chose not to associate file types as it doesn't indicate which file types it will own. I also opt'd not to have a desktop icon created. When install completed, I could not find a program menu entry for the program, nor could I find a program folder for it on either drive. However rerunning setup.exe prompted me to first uninstall the program, so I took it up on the offer and cut my loses.

Confused by activation process.

Help. Having got the pro license key. I clicked on the activation tab. There was no obvious place to enter a license so I clicked on the about button. The activate button in this pop up was greyed out and unusable. Looking at the title line near the top it said among other things "pro edition" and registered to Give away of the day. On reading other posts I noticed one that said to register you need to run it as an administrator so I did so and was then able to enter the registration but it did not seem to register. So I shut it then re ran it as administrator and once again it opens with the activation button greyed out and the title line near the top saying among other things "pro edition" and registered to Give away of the day. So it looks the same as it did before I activated can anyone tell me what the pro edition has that the free one doesn't so I can find out if I have registered it or not.

Reply   |   Comment by D Murphy  –  6 years ago  –  Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+5)

In answer to my own question I found this

Pro has:
Advanced settings for Pro editing
Video stabilization tool
Hardware acceleration
Audio waveform
Sub-pixel resolution Advanced
Voice over Advanced
Mask tool Advanced
Chroma Key Advanced
Technical support Advanced

Once I had this list I thought it would be easy but actually I am hard pressed to determine if I have them or not. Pretty sure I have the Video stabilization tool because I can find a pop up window that allows me to change the settings for this. I am puzzled by Hardware acceleration one because I thought hardware was part of my computer chips etc and I had it optimized so I hope this is not messing with my hardware settings. I presume that Audio waveform would be a rectangular box with zig zags in it and I can't find one not that I would know how to use it if I did. So I give up I have what I have and it was free (If I don't count time as money)

David, Thanks a lot. It arrived about 5 minutes after I posted the message. So if anyone else is having this issue and has checked their SPAM/JUNK box, I suggest waiting at least 45 minutes for delivery.

I followed the directions given here for setup & it's registered the Pro version through GOTD. So, every time I start the program I'm required to open with Administrator Privileges or it reverts to the free version? Is there a setting to always start program as Administrator? Very confusing setup

Right clicked program icon, went into properties & checked the 'Always Start as Administrator' box. Fixed! Thanks GOTD & VSDC for a great program!

To anybody having problems getting the "Pro" version: I ran setup using Admin privileges and when I re-started the software I used Admin privileges. However, I always got the "FREE" version despite entering the serial number. I twigged after 3 re-installs produced the same result. At the end of the set up you will be asked to launch VSDC - do not click on this button. Exit the setup and then open the software using Admin privileges then enter the serial number. That means you need to use Admin privileges 3 times to get the Pro version.

Downloaded twice and tried to install but every time the installation doesn't go on and there is always a message saying
"A required privilege is not held by the client"
Please advise.

Ayman, check your antivirus. Can you install anything else on your PC?

Ayman, we suppose that the problem is you don't have enough security privileges

Reply   |   Comment by VSDC  –  6 years ago  –  Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+2)

Ayman, try running the program as system administrator

I fail to see on the website if the licence is for 1 year or for lifetime.
I purchased a licence when VSDC first started charging thinking it was a lifetime licence but 12 months later they sent a bill for another payment,. I had even sent a donation to them before they started charging.
So I do not use it now but have gone to Cyberlink Powerdirector which I find easier to use...

Warren,

if I may pop in, on their FAQ page at the website ("Frequently Asked Questions") they do state that the License is "for one year" and there is a link to the Subscription page(s) [to set up a yearly automated payment, I am assuming].

Although I will hand it to you; they could definitely make it easier to see/know and inform the customer, that it is NOT a permanent license (as most other video editing applications are)... and from the little that I've seen so far, it is 'light' on capability but 'heavy' on learning - I agree that PowerDirector is easier to use and more powerful [if one is going to PAY for a video editor - but I assume most people are here because they DO NOT WANT to PAY for a video editor at this time].

I think with some more capability and a one-time payment, VSDC could become quite a competitor, though... I'll give it that.

warren, Indeed, you are correct. Their FAQ says,
"7.Are there any restrictions for VSDC Pro Video Editor subscription?
The subscription is valid for one year and can be used on two computers."
Thanks Warren for bringing that to our attention. I will pass on this giveaway.
Also noteworthy, for some reason this giveaway is for version 5.8.6 but their Pro webpage says the current version is 5.8.1. Apparently their webpage is not being kept updated...

Troy from The Game Tips And More Blog, Granted for a freebie it is a good editor and freebie hunters can always find VSDC ver 4 which was a version before payment was required.

TK,
----------------------
The license for the program is temporary - 1 year.
And in this action - too.
I told you that you yourself installed, translated the date - 2020 year and looked.
License - Out!
-------------------------------------------------------------
You understand that they are lying!
Check the license yourself!
I'm not going to wait 1 year!
I've already seen everything with my own eyes!

TK,
---------------------
If you refer me to the comments - you do not Serious! You are a child.

I installed, did the transfer of the date(2018\2020) and saw everything with my eyes.

They - they say lies, I'm responsible for my words. License - 1 year!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The keys they give, for 1 year!
Maybe later, I'm not going to wait for 1 year!
They will not change conditions because of us, do not be stupid!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you wrote about the duration of the license of this program, that it is more than 1 year, then you also lie with them and there is nothing to talk about!
And yes, you do not know me, but I read you and I do not need to do this anymore.
I thought you were a decent person.
Apparently you are an interested person, maybe a paid person!
I feel sorry for you.

Read Russian comments and do not be lazy yourself to watch the program!

TK,

Are you an English user?
We both know that this is not so, do not tell me :)
English is good, but you do not need to forget about the test of programs!
You need to watch everything yourself and do not believe, read people's comments and only then write(read).

Predrag - ok,
"The installation and activation of the program require Administrator permissions."
- do a setup through settings and give admin rights every time u start this program ;)
