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.

Filmmaker Broadcast Media Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "AVS is an Excellent Editor" December 2, 2024 5.0 Excellent... as an indy filmmaker i do most of my films on AVS Pros Ease in use. 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 BT Brett T. Owner Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Product is Good - Support is Great" July 1, 2021 5.0 I need to create both personal and professional projects and the software has met all my requirements in terms of effects and producing the finished product. Pros AVS Video editor offers many features found in more expensive software. It is intuitive and easy to use. In fact, I spent about an hour teaching my teenage daughter the ins and outs of the software. She understood it and was quickly able to adopt the platform and create her first product. When I had issues with the latest version now playing nice with the latest version of Windows, the support was amazing for a product I purchased one time...years ago. I like there whole suite of products. Cons Despite having adequate memory and processor speed on my computer(s) (I have had the editor software on a few different computers over the years), it Editor software seems to require extra compute resources. Not just during the expected "Produce" process, but when layering aspects of your project. This is where patience come in and the reminder that this software is doing amazing things not (easily or affordably) possible by the consumer a dozen years ago. I also wish some of the default font templets were more basic. While everything is customizable, it takes extra time to take a "fancy" template and simplify it for my "basic" needs. Alternatives considered [Adobe Creative Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/48969/Adobe-Creative-Cloud/) Reason for choosing AVS Video Editor I like Adobe products, but there can be a steep learning curve and the Adobe cost (now subscription) can be price prohibitive for my occasional video editing needs.

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 AR Adam R. Owner Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "For daily needs for any in the Entertainment business, this software package is all you will need!" April 7, 2022 5.0 For our day to day needs, this software fills the bill every time. Quick, intuitive, and very inexpensive. You will love it! Pros If you want something inexpensive and quick to understand and implement, AVS Video Editor is the way to go! What's not to love? Great price, amazing features and options, any file format to work in and save in, and so much more. It takes NO time to understand this software. Simplicity without losing quality and performance. Word of Advice: Get AVS Audio Editor to go with it! You will have it all! Cons I can't think of any thing I like least about this software. My only regret is not getting it sooner!

Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easiest video editor I've found" April 9, 2022 4.0 I have used AVS Video Editor for at least ten years now on several different PC platforms. I keep coming back to it since I have yet to find another video editor that offers all the options that AVS Video Editor offers. I've tried more expensive programs, but they don't give me options to burn DVDs or to choose the video output format and some aren't able to read the video file types I use. I would give the AVS Video Editor a 9 out of 10 rating. There are some minor things that could be upgraded but it is still superior to many other editors out there. Pros I like the fact that the timeline is easy to understand and use. Other editors do not seem to have a set zero point to start which can make it difficult to know how to insert clips. I like having every clip on one line unless I'm using an overlay. Every element is easy to edit. Cons I've found a few things that I would like to see upgraded. 1) Scrolling titles are hard to get timed to the video clip. 2) When creating DVD's the Title only has one color option for the text which cannot be changed. 3) All videos created are limited to 720p as output even though 1280p and 4K video clips can be edited. As yet I haven't seen blue ray burning as an option. But that's not important since I don't have a blue ray disc burner.

Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My review about the software" December 22, 2020 4.0 Overall, I am very pleased with AVS. I purchased a lifetime version of it and I have been using it on a weekly basis. I had an issue with the serial number that got resolved really quick - a nod to the customer service. It is very easy to create videos with nice effects, the software is not CPU or memory consuming and is ideal for beginner editors as well as for advanced users. It would be really nice to have multicam syncing for B-rolls, support for Linux and the possibility to export a file in 60fps. Pros I really like how easy it is to use the software. It is great, if you would like to edit some footages, use on screen video comments with chroma key, make some slide shows and so on. It is really versatile and has a lot of options when it comes to transitions and other effects such as filters and color correction. I have been editing videos with AVS for the past 5 years or so and I never really encountered a problem. It really has all the functions and tools you need to have and it is very easy to use. Also, it is very CPU and memory-friendly, so one doesn´t have to have a high and PC to use it. Cons My biggest issue with AVS is that it doesn´t allow to edit in B-rolls, I mean multicam footages. There is a workaround, but AVS doesn´t sync videos together. The software gives one the possibility to use multiple audio tracks, but it is not possible to add another main video, just a secondary one. I would really love to be able to have multicam video footage syncing, because I make music videos as well, whereas I use multiple angles. Other than that, I am a satisfied user. Reason for choosing AVS Video Editor Well, to be honest, mainly because I bought the whole bundle of the programs it offers. I really like the converter tools and the ability to extract audio with a single click. I use the document converter on a daily basis. As for the videos, I use DaVinci for syncing up and editing multicam angles, but I usually do the editing, voice overs and such with AVS, because of its ease of use. Review Source RB Robert B. Sr. Application Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very Powerful Editor " July 1, 2021 5.0 I like the editor because it allows me to crop and resize while keeping the aspect ratio, it does not add additional artifact to the output file and using it with AVS Video converter make it a seamless transition Pros Easy to use, and fast on rendering (if you have a good cpu) Cons The features are good but lack support for 3rd party hardware. What I mean I have the Nvidia 1050 TI which has cuda and hardware acceleration built in but currently this version does not take advantage of this, or it just does not work on my current installation. Secondly it does not fully support DVD compliant output, as it is more leaning toward MP4 and H.264/265, because most of the things I do are in broadcast format MPEG-2, If I edit in this software I can only export to MP4 or h.264/265 and then use another program to convert to MPEG-2 which adds more time to my project and the quality suffers because I and using multiple compressions Reason for choosing AVS Video Editor Well I have the AVS Video Converter so it was a no brainier to go with a product that integrates with your current software Review Source SB Suzanne B. CoFounder Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cosplay Leather Jacket Suzahdi Relies on AVS Highly Efficient Assistance in Video Social Media" September 25, 2022 5.0 Pros The ease-of-use, intuitive processes, and versatility of the AVS features in video editing...what we appreciate most of all! Easy to use! Cons We need to study AVS video and text guidance more to be even more effective in our use, but that is our problem, not AVS's Review Source PE Pauline E. member Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use, great results" October 7, 2019 4.0 I used it for several years to process the video recordings from a church service and create DVDs for use in nursing homes (so shut-ins could see the service), editing as necessary to keep the total time within one hour. Now I use it for a Toastmasters club, to extract speeches and evaluations from the video recording, and make them available for people (on YouTube, with link from our club website) to see what we do in our meetings or for members to see their own performance to as to improve. Pros I have no background in doing any kind of video editing, but it is easy, using this software, for me to extract the clips I want from a file, edit out a short segment where needed, and create a file that can be either burned to a DVD or uploaded on YouTube. I also like not having to keep paying for a new license when a new release comes out, just download and install. Cons I find it difficult to figure out what features are available that I don't typically use. For instance, I wanted to try to improve the sound quality when the meeting took place in a very echo-y room. I finally figured out that the online help referred to a newer version of the software, and downloaded and installed that, but still had trouble figuring it out. The sound quality is still not what we would like, but considering the low cost of the software, and it does as well as it does, I can't really complain. Reason for choosing AVS Video Editor I had heard about it from the person who was already doing the same work for the church, and since it worked well for her, I wanted to use the same product.

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 audio and video editing interfaces are the best in this package. They are easy to use and quite reliable. Cons There's not much to say about the negative side of the software bundle. I use it daily. Review Source GB Goitsemodimo B. Graphic designer Business Supplies and Equipment Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best video editor" March 26, 2024 5.0 Pros Drag and drop very easy to use which makes it easy to pick different video clips Cons Easy to use and more importantly it has a learning process Review Source AF Arnold F. President Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fantastic product" December 13, 2021 5.0 It provides simplicity and yet it is a power tool for editing. 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. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "What I like about this app" November 22, 2022 3.0 It's a great software and it edit videos in a quality format. Pros I like this software because it helps me to create promotional videos for my business and post them on my social media pages to attract consumers. Cons This app have few editing options and it only enable me to use same editing now and again which it shows no innovation. Review Source SS Steve S. Self Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Super Software at a Super Value" March 24, 2022 5.0 Pros I've not had the chance to use every feature in this package, but the the many I use are uncomplicated and user-friendly, actually fun to work with and always produce a professional result for every project I undertake. 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. Review Source Similar Products Featured
