### "Great video editor software option for beginners!"

March 14, 2022

3.0

It's a nice option, but really expensive. And for the price, you could get something better. It's really cool for beginners, once you found your path through the program, things would be easier.

Pros

It has multiple formats and the output results are in a great quality. I really think it could be a great option for beginners in the video edition field. I'm a professional, but sometimes I use the app to make quick .mp4 videos. It features a DVD creator, and supports 3d video files. There are tools to export the files into different platforms as well. The interface is really clean and intuitive.

Cons

Not the easiest software out there. The learning curve might be a little hard. Effects like chroma key (green screen) looks kind of amateurish. It's overpriced.

### "Can't Recommend. Read the Fine Print. It is \*really\* a 6 mos subscription."

February 1, 2021

3.0

We were able to quickly catch on but discovered the quality of videos we produced were very low quality.

Pros

Was able to learn quickly and sort out features.

Cons

Purchase is valid and updated for 6 mos. After 6 mos, updates will be applied and your "license" code will be invalid. You can re-install your purchase version IF you kept your original download. License codes are not transferable between multiple computers that you own or if you get a new computer. Videos recorded at 5000kbps lose 90% of their bitrate upon exporting.

Reason for choosing VideoPad

Seemed less expensive. Turns out to be 50x more expensive with all the re-do work that is required.

### "This program is not for professionals, but for anyone who wants to make a quick video."

December 23, 2022

3.0

There were some problems with the latest updates, but by talking to support, he resolved them in the shortest time.In the end, I want to confirm that this program is not for professionalsIt is public for anyone who wants to create a quick videoBut for those who work in the field of video editing, it is not a strong competitor to the latest programs that are in the lead.

Pros

For anyone who wants to make a fast video full of transitions between each clip and the other, this program will be very useful to you.Also among the good things about the program is that you can work on a template with ease.Many are looking for is that there is no watermark on the video when it comes out.

Cons

This program lacks a friendly interface, and whoever opens it for the first time will feel that it is somewhat difficult, although it puts a map for you to show you how the program works, I feel that it will remain difficult for many who use it for the first time. The interface is full of icons, buttons, and a lot of switches. It is uncomfortable to the eye and makes you feel lost in the midst of all these influences and commands. It takes a lot of time to render your final video, and this is one of the biggest drawbacks.

### "Super Easy Platfrom to work with!"

March 30, 2022

4.0

I've enjoyed putting out videos with this app. Dreading video editing is now a thing of the past. You literally get lost down your creative hole while using this app because of how super easy to use it is.

Pros

You can work with Videopad editor as a beginner and not find difficulty accessing controls and adjustments. It's like they were in the mind of the user when they made the editor. I love how well it incorporates sounds. I love that you can easily break up sounds and slow them down or fasten them up. I love that you can drag and drop videos super easily. You can spend hours on the app because of how easy it is to use.

Cons

I don't like the three-day trial period limit. It could be adjusted to a month for a better experience.

### "Easy to use and affordable vdeo programm"

January 25, 2023

5.0

I'm using VideoPad since many years now. Every time when my subscription expired after about 18 month, I was looking for other porgrams. But I couldn't find anything that is as good to use and affordable. I do videos from different angles, add some sequences. It is easy to cut a video.

Pros

It is an easy program to cut your videos and add some sequences or pictures. I use it when I do videos from different angles.

Cons

The supbtitel text could be a bit more modern. But I use it just for an end screen text to mention my website for example

### "Full-Featured yet Easy to Use"

October 2, 2022

4.0

Pros

I began using this program as a quick-and-dirty video editor to create a shortened clip with fade in and fade out. I enjoyed the ease of use, and as I began exploring some of the more advanced features I realized that even the free version had more than enough capability to meet nearly all my needs.

Cons

One downfall of this program is the requirement to download individual "apps" rather than have them all available as a comprehensive suite.

### "Cost effective tool to edit, merge, split your videos with ease"

July 19, 2019

5.0

Very cost effective tool and easy to use for video preparations

Pros

Good feature of sound amplify. If you have recorded some video with low sound volume and want to amplify it then this tool has great feature to do it and it is very useful. I am able to amplify sound of videos with ease. It is easy to add subtitles to video. I am able to define videos targeted with subtitles shown in the video itself instead of SRT file

Cons

limitedsupport for animated videos or videos with special effects. Text to speed conversion is not 100% accurate and there would be errors in text generated from speech

### "Buono"

November 5, 2023

5.0

Pros

VideoPad è molto intuitivo da utilizzare ed ha molteplici funzioni, perlopiù base, che sono sempre utili. Il rendering del lavoro finale è sempre molto veloce ed in alta qualità.

Cons

Nonostante essendo così facile, ritengo VideoPad sia comunque molto semplice anche da un punto di vista di effetti. Credo abbia troppi effetti base e pochi diversi dal solito, facendo rimanere sempre gli utenti con effetti un po' datati.

### "Really simple and amazing"

February 24, 2024

5.0

Pros

VideoPad is perfect when it comes to make a video, or just an edit. It has a lot of options and it's really simple to use. Personally, I loved how much I could do on my new videos without having to see the software crashing, so I consider it a big plus. Differently to other softwares, it seems to be working really well.

Cons

I think that adding a few more quick effects would help a lot, but that aside, the software is really valid.

### "It's worth every dollar"

May 8, 2018

5.0

Easy to use, this program allows you to open almost any audio and video extension in the market. You can use its free version but it convinces you a lot, but it pays to pay a license for a work tool as good as this one. Others in the market worry about great visual details in the interface, but NCH reaches a balance that does not suffer your computer working or your patience.

Pros

What I like most is the simplicity that it offers to work with any video and audio. They offer you a platform of multiple resources for your video project. I have used it with complete satisfaction. Its use is not complicated, if you are looking for a good option and do not want to spend much this software is perfect with you. It is not as expensive as other options in the market, and it offers you, export in formats that others do not. I am very satisfied.

Cons

They should improve the details of the user interface, not bad, but it can be better. I like that it does not demand so many resources from the teams.

### "Terrible product from the 1980s"

February 27, 2024

2.0

Pros

Pretty easy to pick up and use. As someone who hasn't edited videos before, I could pick it up quickly.

Cons

Terrible functionality. Videos would behave just fine in Videopad, and then I would open them on YouTube and the audio didn't match the video. I would open previously edited videos later in Videopad, and they would lag, the video would inexplicably be in black and white, and it would be impossible to continue to edit given the quality of the video. NCH software's customer support is non-existent. From the way they run their business, you can tell they haven't updated anything since the 80s.

Reason for choosing VideoPad

Seemed like it had good reviews for the price

### "Nice video editing tool for publishing videos to social media"

June 13, 2018

3.0

Pros

We tested this editing tool in the office and we were satisfied. It is a simple editor, which makes it easy to learn and use. You can edit many types and formats and especially export in about 15 different formats. It is particularly useful for social networks because of the different export settings that it has for networks, as well as very modern and attractive transitions and effects. It really has all the features of a basic program, but also includes advanced features such as some 3D editing, 360º video, masking and closed captions.

Cons

There are few things not to like ... I would have to say that the user interface is not very cute or attractive, although it works ... We would also like to see more possibilities in editing and mixing sound.

### "Perfetto per creare piccoli video"

December 16, 2022

4.0

Utilizzo questo programma quando necessito di creare piccoli video sua professionali che non. Lamia esperienza di uso è decisamente più che positiva.

Pros

Ottimo programma per creare e montare video in maniera semplice e veloce. I punti di forza di questo programma sono sicuramente la sua facilità di utilizzo e il costo di acquisto molto basso.

Cons

Unica nota negativa è a mio avviso che l’interfaccia sarebbe sicuramente migliorabile poiché al momento risulta un po’ “vecchiotta”

VideoPad is user-friendly and has more feathers in this software-like effect. We can export the video in whatever quality we want like Burn DVD, Export Movies, Multiple Resolutions

### "When it works - it's awesome"

April 23, 2020

3.0

Pros

It's very easy to use and learn. It's has fine possibilities as a editor.

Cons

When the company come with a new version ($40 one more time) the SAVE files starting to corrupt and the old version stops working and crashing. First time I thought of it as a coincidence, second time... Today I lost 20 hours of work and I guess my students just have to wait 20 hours for a new version and I have to go all nighter.

### "Has Problems and Poor Support Knowledge"

December 26, 2020

2.0

Poor, frustrating and not straight forwards as an ex iMovies user.

Pros

That it would load onto Windows 10 and be used without problems

Cons

It might be ok for simple video but with loading a video, removing the sound and adding voice over together with jpeg inserts the program becomes buggy and has a will of its own. Wondershare was useless for loading to my Win10 - I was hopeful with this program but it is buggy. My 6 minute video took a week to make - no help from support with preview windows, they didn't say about hidden options. So my 6 minute video ended up with a burn video of 2.5 hours of which most of it was black screen. This was reduced down to 1.5 hours when I found that the program had moved sound and image file 1 hour further on! I reported this and their Bug Support sent details for upload but using their information that didn't work to allow me to send the BUGGY file - tried to reply but its one of those don't-reply. Not helpful

### "With VideoPad i can edit videos easily and they look great."

May 14, 2018

5.0

I'm learning a lot about the video editing

Pros

This is a super cool tool, because it is easy to use, which makes it ideal for beginning editors like me, but also has a number of options for the editions look professional. It is ideal for editing home videos, it is also ideal to upload videos to social networks directly.

Cons

The free version does not have the ability to export socially if it has the paid version, so if you want to test how you can publish your videos directly on social networks you have to buy the paid version.
