Movavi Video Editor

CNET Editors' review

Good video editing software can take something that looks like it was shot with a cell phone and turn it into a slick, professional-looking production. Movavi Video Editor is good video editing software. It can edit, cut, splice, and alter your videos, clean them up, sync sound and music to images, create customized titles with text and animation, split audio and video tracks, and much more. It also captures screen video and audio and saves video and still images in a range of widely compatible formats.

Movavi's main interface is an up-to-date dark gray design divided into three parts: a video player, a tabbed control panel, and a work bar displaying open files. File, Edit, Playback, and Help menus round out the taskbar. Tabbed controls make it easy to import, edit, and export videos, create text for titles, insert captions, create transitions, and even include special effects. The main display functions like any media player, only with optional special effects such as different transparency levels and a sliding time line control that supports up to 100 different and separate audio, video, and title tracks. The player's picture is clear and accurate, too.

Movavi Video Editor's free 30-day trial version puts a watermark on the files it creates and installs desktop icons without asking. The full version costs $39.99, a lot less than some well-known video editors that don't offer much more. It's ready for 64-bit versions of Windows, including Vista. If you're looking for an affordable, comprehensive, easy-to-use video editing suite, Movavi's got it.

    "Abosilutley useless software!"

    February 26, 2013  |   By clownfish2

    Version: Movavi Video Editor 7.4

    Pros

    It waste your time if you have nothing to do!

    Cons

    Its sketchy, unstable, allways crashes, jumps around on playback, really un-smotth playnabck when you add fades or effects, keeps jumping back to begginign when your editing in the middle, Can easily add a clip in between it messes the whole timeline and sync up, it lost 6 hours of work TWICE when it crashes as its auto back up replaced my work with a emty project! Nothing good to say about it at all.

    Summary

    Please dont waste your time, thats all I can say, I bought a video editor on the iphone for 69p as an app which was better thab this by far!! this is in regards to version 11 and all the updates, oh and by the way, the support was just as useless...

    "horrible! Do not use!"

    December 14, 2012  |   By vampiregurl98

    Version: Movavi Video Editor 7.4

    Pros

    none! IT IS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!

    Cons

    well right now it says that I have been waiting on it to finsh saving my video for an hour and earlier it told me that i still had like 18 hours left of saving to go. You won't beleive this but now it says that i have 63 hours to go and after an hour of waiting for the 12 minute video i need for school, I'm only 4% of the way done saving! It is 2 am and I need to get sleep but I have to wait and see what this dumb thing decides to do. Its too late to go back and try something else because I need it done! What should I do? will it really take this long to save?
