AVS Video Editor

This is a low budget, easy to learn and use software package for non professional who wish to create a few small project in a timely fashion.
It does not have a load of complication. It get the job done with a clean design.
It shouldn't be so difficult for anyone to look in a mic and recognize where the source of sound will be coming from. Import your footage and you can add music and noted with text and some built in lower thirds.
The two view modes - timeline and storyboard views - are very easy to get use too. I love the story line, allowing for the little space to drop cool built some transition.
This is a simple full package editor!

Lower thirds are quite not so impressive, but you can build your own.
I purchased the package with all the software at reduced unlimited lifetime price so no complaints here.
It does take a load of computing resource to product larger video. So please take note that a good GPU will make your workflow easier as compared to my low end i5core with 16GB Ram.

I like AVS Video Editor because of the simplicity of making seamless videos from a variety of formats into one cohesive video.

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.

The work space is clean and easy to navigate. Editing features are relatively easy to use and options are above average, but not extensive. A lot of control over output options and quality is high-end.

Would like to see more flexibility with effects -- either option to download more from site or ability to create own effects or tinker with code on existing effects. Repeated issues exporting crashes of final video. Have combed over online help, read through previous submissions, but resolutions were not easy to come by. Spent A LOT of time trying to find a fix, as have many other users from what I've read.

I know everyone raves on Apple products like imovie. I could not follow how to add and edit the way I wanted to with that program with just simple tasks. Even Windows Movie Maker was making simple edits more complicated than they needed to be. I found I was wasting a lot of time using these video editing programs.
AVS Video Editor was EXACTLY the product I needed! I can easily drag and drop media like photos, songs, and video into the program and edit, splice, merge, and add all the fun transitions and effects without having to read a manual to figure it all out. It is very simple to use, but delivers powerful, professional results! Thank you for creating this video editing program!
I am so thankful for the person who recommended it to me!

My only con is that I didn't know about this sooner. I LOVE this program.

For basic purposes, it is very easy to use, very simple and create videos. I am using it for 10 years and I am satisfied with it.

I have an issue working with subtitles when I need it and finding a text format to overlay the videos.
