Frequent saves can prevent loss of hours of work. It's important not to have multiple applications running in the background when producing your final video.. Other than that it works great.. Expanding the font library and controls would be major. Pros It comes as a suite of applications that work together seamlessly for remarkable results! I've been a user for years! Great Value. You could spend more buy why would you? Cons Sometimes it crashes while rendering videos although there have been improvements.

Very easy to trim videos & add text Cons Hard to do voiceovers. Have to use a separate program for voice-over Switched from [Pinnacle Studio](https://www.capterra.com/p/233263/Pinnacle-Studio/) Ease of use. Price is affordable & it was recommended Review Source WG William G. user Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "AVS VEP files CANNOT be used elsewhere" March 30, 2025 2.0 Customer service is crap. They will deny having this problem but it is real. Great product if your pc will live longer than you. Pros Easy to understand and use, however - see cons Cons Have you ever heard of a product file that one can use on multiple computers? You have or will now - I have AVS on three computers. If you create a VEP file on one of them - if you wish to use it on another computer with AVS - your screwed. If you buy a new computer - your screwed. Create next years subscription - your screwed Review Source Prashant S. Architect Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best Video Editing Software" October 31, 2022 5.0 Overall experience is just amazing and this software increases my productivity. Pros The High-resolution output feature is just amazing in AVS Video Editor. My client always get the best quality work when I use AVS Video Editor. Cons There is nothing to dislike about AVS Video Editor. Every feature works properly and there is no scope of improvement. Switched from [Clipchamp](https://www.capterra.com/p/202357/Clipchamp/) The easy user interface made me switch the software. Review Source GV George V. Secretary - Lasallian Research and Resources Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best video editor for most people." September 22, 2022 4.0 The most simple, direct, and economical video editor I've found yet. Easy to learn, easy to use, and easy to complete a project. Well worth the small investment required, especially considering the cost of the more professional options. Most users spend too much for programs with features they will never use. This program concentrates on the features that everyone uses and makes these simple to understand. Ever since I first began to use the AVS Video Editor, I've never had to go back to the larger, more complex video programs. It wasn't necessary. Therefore, it's much more enjoyable using the AVS Video Editor, and I can concentrate on creativity instead of on unraveling complex menu requirements for simple features. Pros Those who use a video editor occasionally and do not need all the bells and whistles that the pros use will find this program accessible, easy to learn, and simple to use. For 95% of video projects, the program as all the features necessary to effectively and efficiently complete the job. Confident use of the program can be acquired in a few hours, and short videos are provided to explain all of its components. // I like the fact that you can simply drop videos into the library, drag them to the editing panel, splice or insert sections as needs, add effects, create transition styles, put together an opening and closing section with titles or logos, and produce the entire video in a timely way. Cons If the folder with the video components is moved, opening the AVS file will require you to define the path to all of the components that were previously used. There is no automatice feature that will search to different components in the same folder where the first one was indicated. Switched from [Adobe Premiere Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/233456/Adobe-Premiere-Pro/) The learning curve for Adobe is more steep than it needs to be. While it is a great program, it is more like a fancy sports car. What I needed was a basic, solid, reliable, basic program that doesn't demand a lot of time to learn or use.

December 13, 2021 4.0 It's a great mid-tier editor, which doesn't soak you for hundreds of dollars while still providing great features. Pros The feature that was most impactful for me, was the editing features and the media library options. I use these tools to edit out, a video that isn't focused or has a situation in it that the Corporation can't use for the whole company. Cons I wish there were more available items to cover up, add to, and an easier "flattening" of tiers when using multiple tiers to edit videos. Alternatives considered [Camtasia](https://www.capterra.com/p/203013/Camtasia/) Switched from [Camtasia](https://www.capterra.com/p/203013/Camtasia/) mostly, the price of Camtasia is exorbitant for the time I used it. AVS was well priced and gave me the main features I was using in Camtasia at 1/3 the price. Review Source DL Deana L. Lead Designer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best Video Editor EVER" April 7, 2022 5.0 I absolute love this software and will sing it from the rooftops. I started editing as a side part of my graphic design business and have used many different affordable programs. The other ones were super frustrating to find the features much less how to use them. They were stiff and hard to use as a beginner and weren't really affordable in the long run that I actually considered not including video editing in my services. AVS has saved me from spending so much wasted time and money plus it's so much fun to use, I now look forward to working on the videos!!! Pros The question should be what didn't I like about this software because the answer is an easy nothing!! I love everything about this software and can't imagine being able to do my job without it. So, the answer is the value of software for the price. It does exactly what is should do (and a whole lot more) without costing a fortune!! Cons I've been using the software regularly and haven't found any issues yet. If I'm forced to give a con, it would be that it takes over an hour to produce. I know it takes that long so I plan my time around it so it really isn't a con in the long run. Switched from [Filmora](https://www.capterra.com/p/186540/Filmora/)[Adobe Premiere Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/233456/Adobe-Premiere-Pro/)[Movavi Video Editor Plus](https://www.capterra.com/p/228422/Movavi-Video-Editor-Plus/) Frustration with features and value for the service was lacking.

December 2, 2021 5.0 I have used AVS Video Editor to make several training videos that are used to help my employees preform their job duties more efficiently. It has been a welcome asset to my computer library. Pros I like AVS Video Editor because of the simplicity of making seamless videos from a variety of formats into one cohesive video. Cons I like being able to caption videos, but I have trouble always figuring out how to save them in a way that the captioning is a part of the video. This is more a user issue than a program issue. Reason for choosing AVS Video Editor Unlimited subscription! Review Source MP MARY P. DIRECTOR Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "DONT BUY WASTE OF MONEY" April 4, 2025 1.0 HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY DONT HAVE CUSTOMER SRVICE Pros WAS DIFFICULT TO USE TERRIBLE COMPANY TO WORK WITH Cons YOU BUY A LIFE TIME LICENSE AND WHEN YOU GET A NEW COMPUTER THEY TELL YOU YOU HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER LICENSE. IT IS NOT TRANSFERABLE. SO YOU CAN NEVER HAVE A NEW COMPUTER Review Source MS Max S. Content Facilitator and Learning Technologist E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I Need to Edit Many Things" December 5, 2024 4.0 I have bought copies for all of my computers Pros Easy to use. The suite of software covers most of my needs. Cons I don't know what I like least. Do I have to not like? Well, a multi-license discount would be nice. Review Source LS Lloyd S. IT Specialist Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best-Easy to use Video Editing Product" April 18, 2022 5.0 I have enjoyed being able to make my recorded product better than it was recorded using such options as transitions and video effects. These are great additions to any video. Pros I like being able to make quick edits (5-10 minutes) or being able to be as precise with edits as my patience will allow. Cons The Audio editing feature is my least desirable part of the Video Editor. Some improvement could happen here when making changes in volume and noise reduction. Equalizer could be a bit more variable and not so abrupt. Knowing what my limitations are, I try to get the best audio settings when making the initial video recording. Reason for choosing AVS Video Editor Cost was a major factor and AVS4YOU had a multitude of other related software. I purchased all of the available software for Audio, Video, Disc Creation, Registry Cleaner, Document Converter and the list goes on and I haven't regretted doing so. I have used some form of this software for more than 10 years and it just keeps getting better and easier to use. This is a great product! Review Source DP Dwight P. software developer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Value for Home or Small Business Use" January 7, 2020 5.0 I have used this software to create DVDs of video taken at piano recitals. Piano students have recitals twice a year. I video each student as they play and create a DVD that combines all performances. The DVD is then distributed to parents. The ability to use transition effects and a disc menu are important in this application. I also use it for home video projects such as graduations, family gatherings and vacation videos. Pros Ability to select the video source from imported media files, web cam or screen capture. Project files can be video, images or audio files. A nice and useful feature is the ability to add an editable color overlay to the project. The color is selected from a pallet. The size and orientation of the color patch is adjustable. This feature can be used to obscure a portion of the video. There is a provision for creating samples that can be used across video projects. The options for creating samples is the same as for creating the main media components. The project can be built using a timeline or a storyboard. The audio effects can be adjusted. Options include noise removal, equalization, compression and pitch shifting. Likewise, video and images can be color corrected by adjusting brightness, temperature, contrast, saturation, gamma and hue. A large number of transition effects are included that are used to move from one visual component to the next. It is very easy to trim a component video so that only the section of interest is included in the final production. The speed of the component video can be changed also. There is an assortment of text effects and samples to choose from. These can be used as overlays or to add titles to sections of the video. Voice recording is available so that commentaries can be added. A disc menu can be created to make it easy to jump to any section of the final video. I used this feature when I created a video of piano students performing a Cons When a media file is added to the media library, a thumbnail image is displayed along with the media file name. Usually the thumbnail image is of a frame from the media file itself. I have noticed that sometimes, an image from a previously used media file is displayed instead. This can lead to an awkward situation depending on the content of the media file the frame is taken from. The selection of styles available for the disc menu is limited. It would be useful if more styles were available for each topic. It would be ideal if some sort of editor were available so that one could create a style from scratch. The storyboard interface is not very intuitive. It may be useful for the construction of very simple video projects where the transition from one video component to another is important.

Owner Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "High end multi features for low end price" November 12, 2022 4.0 I commonly use AVS Video Editor and Video Converter to import videos, snip off pieces of the video that don't work and merge with another video to create a seamless and custom how-to video demo for my clients. I also use it frequently to convert videos to another format so that it can be used on various social media and website platforms. I've also used the video converter to compress or reduce the file size of a video. Pros Easy to use for the non-technical to get the job done without a massive learning curve. I'd rather use this software to snip videos, merge with other videos and convert videos from one format to another so that my video can be used on a website, social media platform or a live presentation. I also think the unlimited price is great, even if you only use the software once in a while, it's totally worth it. Cons Some of the documentation isn't written as clearly as it could be. Reason for choosing AVS Video Editor AVS is economically priced. Review Source AS Ace S. Online Tutor Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Must Experienced Video Editor" February 26, 2023 5.0 It really does a game changer for Video Editing since some of my video editor don't have those features, those what I like somehow give an advantage to me as a tutor because I always record myself in the camera and edit the video and present it to my students, or give the video to my student so that when they forget something they can rewatch my video anytime. I don't need to use any software that makes my PC lag because of too many tabs. it is very convenient to use, and all are easy to used. Pros The built in Screen Record and Capture Video using camera is a whole new another level of video editor, it is very convenient, I don't need to download any software does screen record or capture my video all are in AVS Video Editor. After I screen record or capture my video through my camera I can easily access the file and easily edit the video and makes the job more easy. Cons A thumbnail picture appears beside the media file name when a new media file is added to the media library. The thumbnail often depicts a frame from the media file itself. Sometimes, I've seen, an image from a previously utilized media file is shown in its place. Review Source DV Dana V. Retired Maritime Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Why I like AVS Video Editor!" September 23, 2022 5.0 I am able to edit several hundred video short clips (5 to 10 minutes in length) and after easily editing them I can then put them in a chronological order for my upcoming DVD. Pros I think the overall simplicity of using it at the beginning was a big plus. Then as you slowly learn to use all the features it becomes more valuable to you. Cons Actually there is nothing I totally dislike about the software. Even the learning curve was mild compared to other similar software's I've tried and which were much more expensive. Review Source RE Randy E. Owner Consumer Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "AVS stands up to all the others" November 18, 2023 5.0 AVS has helped me remove beeping sounds from alot of my videos that i recorded using a screen recording software. It played an audible beep when the program started recording and AVS removed the beeps by allowing me to cut out that half a second part of the video. Pros AVS is just as good as most of the other mid tier editing programs. There are many useful features and dragging and dropping files into the editor makes it that much easier to get started. I liked that it didn't just ask you to do something and then expected you to know what to do next. It guides you along the way and does a decent job editing. Cons Presently they are offering access to 5AVS4 you programs for $49 for the year. I think if you just wanted the video editor, then $49 for the year is a bit steep. Review Source HP Hendri P. Spv. Event, Promo, Social Media Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I am satisfied, but with a little flaw..." March 25, 2022 4.0 It is quite satisfactory and I will continue to use it in carrying out one of my work in editing videos in the hospital. Pros The video editing software is quite user friendly. I used the video editing software from the previous versions for quite a while and was quite satisfied, even recommending it to some of my friends. But that doesn't mean there are no flaws. I still have discomfort in some ways as well. Cons The shortcomings that I experienced and this means a lot if there is an improvement in the following version. The downside is that I can't choose multiple video scenes at once to filter the sound and color. This is quite a waste of time if you have to adjust it one by one, even though everything will be given the same setting. So, I really hope that there will be an update that can accommodate my proposal. thanks.

Pros AVS Video Editor is easy to use, It didn't tack me much time to learn how to use it. I really love that I can do all my designs with minimum effort. Also, it is inexpensive and gives you a great experience. Cons AVS Video Editor is a great software and the only thing that I find is that it takes a lot of time to finish one video, but it's okay because the quality of the final design deserves it.

Pros The full spectrum of features make editing productive and precise. All AVS products focus on the key functions I need, without the overly complicated alternatives. Cons None come to mind. All AVS products are outstanding. An example is ripping my previously authored Blu-Ray discs. Every other product I (bought and) tried only delivered partial video files. I am very happy that AVS gave it all. Reason for choosing AVS Video Editor Cost vs. Capability. It is easier to use and still provides the features I need. Review Source LS Lucas S.

Cons That when I had to migrate it (and the rest of the AVS Suite) over to a new computer, they made me take out a new life time license. I wasn't told that life-time was defined as the computer's life, not mine. Review Source JF Jack F.

Business owner Consumer Goods Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Maybe, maby not." April 7, 2022 3.0 Not that excited about it. It's not too bad, but it's not the best either. Pros It's easy to use considering it's a very basic program. Cons It leaves you wanting. The software is basic in terms of what you pay for it. Honestly, I would have rather spend the money on a different program. I bought the lifetime unlimited option. Unfortunately I am making use of other editors with better results. Reason for choosing AVS Video Editor The sales pitch was good. The bundle availible in the purchase option seemed like a "complete" package for what I wanted to use it for. Unfortunately the other applications also have a shortfall.
