"Easy to use, but..."
Version: AVS Video Editor 6.1.2.211
Pros
With help from the free videos on the AVS4You web site, I (a video noob) was able to crop a video, add a title and fade out in about 15 minutes. Impressively easy to use. I was about to buy the software when the license caught my attention. See below.
Cons
The license agreement has got to be one of the WORST I've ever seen on a software product. This software is licensed to the computer, not to the user. I have two computers I routinely work on: desktop and laptop. I'm the only person using these two computers. This license would require me to buy TWO copies, or restrict my usage to either the laptop OR the desktop. PLUS! That's not all. If you change your computer, say your motherboard gets fried during a storm, and you have to buy a new one, guess what. You have to buy YET ANOTHER copy of the software. No thanks. What a turn-off. I'll find another video editor to use, thankyouverymuch.
Summary
If the company had a different software license, I would be much more interested in using this editor. However, as written, there's no way I would give this company my money. It's a greedy, predatory way to treat customers, and I'll spend my money elsewhere.

"Best Video Editor for the Price! :)"
Version: AVS Video Editor 6.1.2.211
Pros
- Very intuitive user interface
- Supports many types of video formats and frame rates
- Excellent clip editing capabilities
- Good special effects
- Multichannel audio and video feeds
- Takes excellent advantage of dual monitors for editing!
- Easy drag and drop abilities!Cons
- Need to edit very complex project (like a two hour indie film) through a series of several 10 minute smaller projects, then join together into one large project for a final simple edit.
- No abilities to select a group of clips to move from one part of the timeline to another
- No abilities to "copy" properties set on one clip (color, size, etc.) and apply to other clips so you don't have to repeat color schemes over and over, for example.Summary
I've used AVS Video Editor since May of 2010 and truly love it! If you're looking for an editor to help you get the job done for a fraction of the cost, this is it!
I was involved with a production of an indie feature on a "zero" budget. We did filming and edited about a 90 minute film using AVS Video Editor. Why didn't I use Sony Vegas? Didn't have the money!
The truth is you get what you pay for. AVS Video Editor isn't free, but what little you pay goes a long way. If you're the casual indie filmmaker and don't want to go broke or just want to try something inexpensive, yet useful, AVS Video Editor is for you.
One day I'm sure I'll pay serious money for Adobe After Effects or Sony Vegas Pro. Until then, I'll continue to use AVS Video Editor and just have fun learning about video editing in an intuitive app. :) -

"Excellent for basic projects"
Version: AVS Video Editor 6.1.2.211
Pros
I was just looking for a simple, intuitive editor that gives me all the basic functions I need to put together some videos and this one does the job perfectly. Of course it lacks the sophistication of higher end editors but I don't need those functions anyway
Cons
None so far

"Lack of basic workflow move"
Version: AVS Video Editor 6.1.2.211
Pros
good selection of video effect
Cons
-cannot select all item: if you want to add fade between 100 video or picture, you have to drag in drop one by one... and set it one by one!
-the zoom effect (the most important one)is broken: not logic, way to complicated for just little zoom-in effect. Work by numeric input. Not graphical workaround
-If your change the length of a scene, it mess your sounds tracks. And you cannot set it to "don't try automatically match thing and just leave my sound-timeline in peace!!!"Summary
Not bad but if your have 100 scene or picture you want to edit.. this software will slow you down!!!
