VideoDirector - Edit, Cut and Optimize Videos

I was a beginner and needed to improve my YouTube videos... I’ve learned so much and online tutorials are very helpful.

Not as user friendly as Id like it to be.

pretty easy to use and works fine for my needs would recommend for a quick fix to your videos

Like the a lot of reviews stated previously, the program was very easy to figure out despite the set up on the computer was is German. I played around with the program putting a video together, but when it came time to download or burn to a dvd, a page came up wanting me to pick a membership fee starting at $39 annually. There was also a free membership, but it stated that there would be a watermark added to the video. I thought I would try the free membership, but the registration wanted my e-mail address and my password. At first I thought they meant create a password for the membership, but it wouldnt accept my create password. It wanted my e-mail password. Now the program is useless to me since Im not dumb enough to give out my e-mail password. Why isnt this type of stuff listed in the product description before you buy. This isnt the first time I bought a program, and once I started to use found there were hidden requirements that werent disclosed prior to buying. The program seem like a good and easy program, but since it had this hidden requirement, Im giving it a 1-star (actually zero since I cant use without being extorted out of my password to my e-mail). If Im doing something wrong, and this isnt the case, please someone let me know what Im doing wrong so I can use this program.

After switching to Windows 10, my old editing software didnt function, so I purchased VideoDirector. I was pleasantly pleased at the ease of setup and began editing my video. My last software package was somewhat difficult, actually, more technical for my needs, but VideoDirector was remarkably simple. Within an hour, I had completed a short video. Adding stills was simple, as was adding short video clips. Then came the feature I appreciates most, adding music. Again, very simple. Wondershare Filmora designed and supports this product and it was easy and accomplished everything I needed for home videos. There are other features; sharing on social media, etc. that I wont use, but its there if I elect to do so. Maybe Ill dive into that arena someday! For the price, one can not go wrong. My last editing software was five time the price and was too complicated; not at all user friendly. Its nice to be able to use software that does not require an encyclopedia sized manual to operate.

After two days I edited my first video and I was very excited. Everything worked great and I felt like this would work well for me. As I tried to export my video I found that I would have a filmore watermark unless I paid more money. Not okay with that since I feel like they could have included all of the charges up front. So now I have to go shopping for another software…..

This is a great video editing program. It took about two days of playing around with the different options and settings for me to be able to combine different videos into a short movie with slow mo, zoom, and audio effects. Now that I have gotten used to this program I am very happy that I purchased it. My only complaint is that even with the disk that arrived from Amazon, the editing program seemed to download from the internet and it took a long time, as I only have internet from cell phone towers. I was able to send my project to my computer’s DVD burner with just a couple of mouse clicks and it played flawlessly on my Sanyo DVD player connected to my TV. I was also able to send my finished product to my Iphone easily without worrying about video or audio settings. Just selected Iphone, saved the file to my computer, and then put the video on my phone with Itunes. It played perfectly. I previously used Windows Movie Maker which is now gone from Windows 10, and that helped me learn this program. Also the online Help is quite useful for a change, not like other programs on my computer.

nice software, easy to use and straight forward. Not much of a learning curve to do some really cool stuff!!

Ok, this will be a somewhat lengthy review of this product, but Im hoping it will help people decide whether to get it or not. Ive had this product for a few months now, almost 6 I believe. And in that time, Ive been satisfied with the editing software. I decided mid last year to start a YouTube channel and wanted to get a video editing software to help me spruce up my vids. I had been using Windows MovieMaker but it was so barebones and hard to work with when it came to large files that it wasnt up to snuff. After searching and researching several different software packages, I decided to purchase this one. Now, the major factor in me purchasing this software were 2 reasons and they were the following; First, this editing software is actually Filmora Wondershare. It is known to be a very easy program for beginners to use in order to get acquainted with video editing software. The second being that the software doesnt require a super high end PC to work. Im using a rather old but well taken cared of PC and this video editor works on it. At the time I purchased the editing software, it functioned on both a 32bit or 64bit version of Windows. Unfortunately, if you dont have a 64bit version of Windows, this will no longer work because of the recent update that was done to the editor. Now, even though it does work with older PCs with 64bit versions of Windows, it doesnt mean that it will be a smooth experience. Not saying that you will have constant crashes or anything, but you will notice a slower performance but that is because of the hardware. Its not severe but it is noticeable and thus worth mentioning. When you receive the product it will come in a DVD like package with both the CD and an insert containing the registration information. Now, if you dont have a way to use the CD on your PC, you can head over to Filmora Wondershares website and download the editing software with the link they provide and then use the insert to register the product. Ive read some of these reviews where it says that the product is a trial version, now Im not sure what they got exactly, but from my experience, the initial installed editor is a trial version but when you actually use the registration information that is provided, it removes any watermarks or requests to register the product. Be aware that to register the software, it requires the PC to be connected to the internet in order to access the sites activation page. If you cant connect to the internet, you have to contact Filmora directly. Lets get to the actual software review, as I stated earlier, Filmora Wondershare is known to be a very easy to use video editor. Many other video editors can be a bit complicated and overwhelm the user because it requires a bit of setup before actually using. The beauty of Wondershare is that when you start the application, it prompts you to choose between various modes but the software still sets everything up for you. So, if you choose the full mode, it sets everything up so that you can easily import your videos and drop them into the timeline to begin editing. It has enough options for beginners to make their simple projects into professional looking ones. You can splice, trim, insert transitions, overlay art that is provided by the software or your imported ones, add music, etc.. It has enough for a novice but more than enough for a beginner to tinker around with. You can import a variety of different file formats, an exact list can be found on their website, I believe. One of the great parts of the software is that you have enough options to render your file into several formats, from MP4, AVI, MOV, MP3, GIF and many more. Again, there is enough here for the beginner to the intermediate video editing user. One thing that really bugged me about the software is this, if you actually use the CD to install the software, it is installing, at least the CD I had, an earlier version of Filmoras video editing software. That version has several transitions and effects in it that are worthwhile to use, but once you register the product it will force download the newest version. Well, with this newer version, you actually lose access to some of these older effects. I contacted Filmora regarding this issue and the reply was not helpful, basically these old effects were removed because supposedly the new editor had trouble using these legacy effects so they removed them and cannot provide you a link to download them again. Definitely sucked to hear that. Im giving this product a 4 star rating simply because it is definitely recommended for someone that isnt familiar with video editing but want to start doing it for their projects or to start a YouTube channel. For someone that has a ton of experience and has used other editors, that is another story. Personally, if you like a ton of features this in no way will satisfy you as there simply isnt enough there. For beginners its plenty and a great way to learn. Now, if you have used other editors and want something easier, this is it. Last, I want to apologize for the long review, but again, Id rather be as thorough as I can be to better help someone who is deciding to purchase this product. Have a great day. Edit: Something that I forgot to add, for those that are wanting to know, yes, Filmora Wondershare can screen record. Its not the best for my PC because it is older hardware, but Im sure that people with newer PCs should have a smoother experience.

I have been a user of this product only one day, but I am astonished at how intuitive it is to learn. Frankly, I was expecting to spend the entire day learning the product, but only after a couple of hours I felt comfortable. It seems like every time I feel the need for some feature I have not yet learned, I discover that the needed feature is already available and I simply had overlooked it. It is much better than I expected. The only negative thing is the length of time it takes to save the completed videos. This is very slow, but I suspect that all video editors have the same issue.
