### "Would be perfect except for serious issues"

October 31, 2019

3.0

The time problem is a serious one and could cause a problem when I testify in court. I have tried repeatedly to contact the company for help in resolving this issue, along with the time zone, but you can virtually never get a person to respond. If they would fix these two issues, the program would be perfect.

Pros

You can choose where to place the date and time on the video, the format, and the font. Works fairly quickly and easy to edit. You can also delete audio.

Cons

You cannot choose a time zone. (You could on the old version.) Once all my video is listed, I have to manually tell it to deduct five hours from my video time. I also skips time. For instance, my video may be running at 8:28 a.m. to 8:30 a.m., but the next segment (which should be 8:31) skips back to 8:28. It makes it appear as though I have altered something and I’m afraid it would not stand up in court. You also have to buy the program for each computer you have, which is so wrong. I use my PC and my laptop, but I had to buy the program for each one. When my old PC crashed, and I bought a new one, I could not transfer the software to my new computer. I had to buy another one.

### "When looking for Audio-Visual software, look here"

July 1, 2021

5.0

For home use only so can't speak to a business related experience, however for personnel use, creating video's for social media is a breeze. It makes merging or combining short clips from the same topic very easy and provides an end product that looks impressive. The ease of being able to take VHS tape videos and clean them up and save them in a digital format was a great find especially using a software as powerful as the AVS Video editor.

Pros

I have a significant amount of old records, cassette tapes, VHS tapes as well as comprehensive music library. AVS has the individual software programs for all my needs and has especially been instrumental in digitizing my older media. Big benefits include being able to convert files to a common file structure, to "normalize" volumes across the library as well as improving quality of the recordings, both audio as well as video. The ease of splitting, cropping, producing in a choice of file formats, adding transitions, additional audio tracks, are but a few of the beneficial options of using this software.

Cons

I found the audio/visual synchronization when digitizing VHS tapes to be a little off from time to time. Not sure if it was the software or the hardware converters being used, other then that I have no complaints about any of the software programs.

Reason for choosing AVS Video Editor

I have been using AVS for around 10 years, occasionally look at other products but when test driving them they don't stand up to the quality to price ratio, AVS is by far the better product.

### "A slim, easy to use video editor"

March 24, 2022

4.0

Overall it’s been a positive experience.

Pros

The UX/UI provides a simple front end - making it easy to use.

Cons

Text overlay has limited animation and effects options. Direct access to stock audio and video library’s would be a great addition.

### "Outstanding and easy to Use Video Editing Software"

November 22, 2021

5.0

I teach seminars for international studies and record them as I go. This AVS4You Video Editing software enabes me to both correct problems in recordings and make them easily accessable to all my students and participants on tours. Additionally I can use parts of them on my internet site for promotional and educational purposes.

Pros

Its easy of use and its adaptability to every product I use.

Cons

I really have not found a negative using this software. I have other software that even claims to be intuitive, but not as easily usable as this Video Editing AVS4You software is.

Reason for choosing AVS Video Editor

AVS4You is the easiest and fastestway that will provide a more professional presentation of what I want.

### "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.

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.

September 22, 2022

5.0

It's been good. Recently I was able to convert a video clip in PAL to NTS. was impressed

Pros

I use the full suite of AVS products. One shot and I have all the tools I need onstead of multiple different products.

Cons

AVS is a tad light weight but for what I use it for I do not need more elaborate and expensive programs

### "Parfait pour un usage personnel"

July 1, 2021

5.0

Globalement, AVS Video Editor est parfait pour les particuliers qui souhaitent monter des vidéos familiales, créer du contenu à destination des réseaux sociaux ou encore réaliser des présentations. Je ne peux que le recommander dans ces cas d'utilisation.

Pros

AVS Video Editor m'a accompagné pendant plusieurs années pour monter des vidéos et les publier sur YouTube sans quitter le logiciel. Sa simplicité d'utilisation permet d'appréhender le logiciel en quelques heures d'utilisation. De plus, si vous êtes tatillon sur le rendu et l'export de la vidéo finale, de nombreux formats et codecs s'offrent à vous, afin de produire un contenu adapté à la plateforme qui va l'accueillir.

Cons

Bien qu'AVS Video Editor remplisse pleinement sa mission de logiciel grand public, il faut comprendre qu'il ne conviendra pas à tous types d'utilisateurs. Les utilisateurs plus avancés préfèreront se tourner vers les logiciels de la suite Adobe, par exemple, pour un workflow professionnel.

### "A éviter absolument"

September 7, 2023

1.0

A éviter absolument Vous devez absolument éviter ce logiciel peu performant. En plus les pratiques commerciales de cette entreprise sont plus que douteuses. Obliger les clients à racheter une licence illimitée quand ils changent de PC, c'est du jamais vu.FILMORA, bien plus performant, et ça vous reviendra moins cher.

Pros

simplicité d'utilisation mais qui principalement due à un manque énorme de fonctionnalités très importantes.

Cons

être obligé de racheter une licence après chaque changement de PC même quand vous avez une licence illimitée.

### "Great Addition to the AVS Suite"

March 24, 2022

5.0

I have installed the AVS on every computer I have used for over 10 years. I has been a great asset and I will continue to buy a license for any new devices I receive.

Pros

AVS VE does a great job of taking raw footage and preparing it for publication or sharing. The ability to add clips, to remove frames to the .001 second, and to establish a storyboard are very helpful. The program learning curve is gentle, but the possibilities are endless.

Cons

Unfortunately, I have not been able to preview from the storyboard since a recent update, though I have learned to work around that. It may be a setting I have missed.

### "Serves Its Purpose"

September 22, 2022

4.0

I realize that there are other video editors available. But once I learned how to use AVS for my basic needs, I stuck with the software. My weekly process is rather elementary and AVS serves its purpose for me. While there are a wide range of features available, my time schedule limits me to only the simplest ones. But the software works well to reach my goals.

Pros

I use this product weekly and essentially do not alter the features from week-to-week. I appreciate the consistency though there are many features that I do not utilize.

Cons

There is a sizeable "learning curve" for those, like me, with zero video editing experience. Trial-and-error is the name of the game. Once I discovered how to use the most basic features, I stuck with them. My weekly presentation process, though, may not match the more elaborate undertakings of other users.

### "A handy video editor with all the required bells and whistles "

August 16, 2019

4.0

One will enjoy using AVS video editor as it is easy to learn, one can open up the software and can start editing videos right away. Plus it provides various fantastic features to spice up your video editing and thus helps in creating amazing videos. Definitely recommended for anyone looking for a All in One video editor for daily purposes.

Pros

AVS video editor has a very straight forward interface and that is very important when it comes to overall experience of using a software. AVS provides you with all the functionality one expect from a decent video editor, like support for almost all the major media formats, crop and flip tools, title editor, transition and effects, basic audio editing features, a good range of export options, all these make AVS a great tool for anyone who, after capturing a video, wants to go a step further and add some extra sauce to their videos.

Cons

Well, I don't see any reason why one cannot cut a film in a software which can edit and cut videos together, but to be very specific, some softwares are designed specifically for cutting motion pictures, AVS video editor is not one of them. Apart from that, AVS video editor is an excellent option for editing videos.

### "Only editor that can edit .MOV files if you are running windows. "

March 28, 2022

4.0

I've been using it for 11 years now. Love it except for the program bombing out every now and then with big projects.

Pros

1\. Accepts .MOV files where other video editor programs do not do it. 2. Wide variety of export options. 3. Makes gifs! Yay!

Cons

1\. You need an i5 CPU and up to process the videos. 2. Program bombs out if the project gets too long and big. 3. The audio fading tool is not reliable. In some cases, there will be a loud spike in the faded-out sound.

Reason for choosing AVS Video Editor

AVS4YOU was the only video editor that supported .MOV

### "AVS Video Is Easy to Use"

March 24, 2022

4.0

I am very happy with AVS video editor. I needed an editor that was easy to use but offered plenty of features for the type of video editing work I do for our health care organization. Your economically priced product lead me to trying on AVS and I'm very happy that I did.

Pros

I find video editing with AVS to be very easy and intuitive. This is very important to me as my department is understaffed and I have little time for learning overly complicated video editors. When I've had questions about how to do something, I've been able to find helpful online resources and have received excellent customer service by your team.

Cons

I wish that AVS video editor had more ability to personalize various defaults so that it works better for me. For instance, I frequently need to add slides from PowerPoint presentations into the videos I edit. (We record many online health seminars for our patients). When adding these to the video I always have to resize them to fill the screen--this can be very time consuming. There should be a way to set the default to full screen so I don't have to resize every image.

### "Straightforward "

April 8, 2022

5.0

Pros

I love that it’s simple and straight to the point. I upload my videos and able to merge clips, add time stamps, and save in multiple formats. It’s great for what I need it for.

Cons

I dislike that I have to individually add the Timestamp track to each clip. If it was more like crosstrax where it automatically syncs the time and I can edit the time afterwards I would give this 100%

December 9, 2021

5.0

I have used AVS since shortly after it was released. I have purchased licenses for every computer I've used it on because it's just a handy tool to have!

Pros

I love the diverse options to build simple videos coupled with the robust features to build complex projects.

Cons

The video manipulation tools are a little lacking. Such as, clear and easy speed controls. Frame creation and blurring when a video is slowed down. Also, the editing timeline is a little finicky when making cuts and shifts. You have to lock all other tracks you aren't manipulating or the cuts/edits will happen across all tracks.

### "Perfect for the price!"

December 9, 2021

5.0

(0% of the time, the program does its job, but on occasion, I must restart a conversion due to failure.

Pros

Using the program is simplicity itself. When working on multiple video projects, ease of use is essential.

Cons

There are too many formats from which to choose. It gets very confusing to know which is the perfect one for any given application.

### "Save button option"

November 18, 2021

4.0

Pros

Easy to use. reliable. Editing, which I use the most, is very easy. After producing the file to m4v file is always of very good quality.

Cons

Couldn't find an easy option to save the work periodically. Currently, to save, we have to go to file->save as, or use ctl+s. both of which are clunky options. If there is a button somewhere like on the left hand side of "split at current position" or something like that where it is easy to find and easy to save, that would make our lives a whole lot better.

Reason for choosing AVS Video Editor

Ease of use and cost effective option and a great product.

### "My favorite video editor by far"

December 11, 2021

5.0

Pros

The software is simple, straightforward, and easy to use. It gets the job done, and it does it well. I have seen more expensive software that was not as easy to use, which is a major factor to me.

Cons

As far as I know, there isn't a Mac version. If there is, I missed it because I don't visit the AVS site often, having purchased a lifetime license, and rarely run into issues that I might look for support.

Reason for choosing AVS Video Editor

Straightforward controls and options, clearly written documentation, and ability to create finished product without having time enough to grow the coffee beans, harvesting them, roasting, and making a cup of coffee.

### "Would like response from customer service"

March 24, 2022

4.0

Unfortunately I encountered problems this week and reached out to customer service on the AVS Support Page. I have received no response from at all, now going on about 24 hours. I had an important meeting with prominent insurance and finance industry professionals on Monday and I want to get a good recording to them ASAP. It would be great if somebody would contact me so I can get the editor working again.

Pros

I have used the AVS Video Editor many times over the past 2+ years. I am happy with the product as I am able to edit out opening/closing bits from virtual recordings, and internal bits. That is the primary reason I use the product.

Cons

When I use the multi-trim to edit out internal bits, if the bit is of a very short duration it is quite difficult to visually see the timestamp bar. I typically have to use a screen magnifier to do it.

Pros

I have been using premier and edius which are more expensive software. But AVS just almost does the same job with a fracture of price. The only issue is that it doesn’t have video cropping and also final conversion is slow
