Pros
Rich functionality but need more time to actually use it more extensively. Easy interface to figure out on the fly without reading help. It's way beyond what I was looking for or expecting in a hasty moment needing to edit a video clip on a new Windows install and no time to reload old apps
Cons
None at this time. I've always liked NCH Softwares products
Summary
Can't go wrong, try it

Pros
A dream to use straight out of the box.
Cons
None that I can see.
Summary
I bought a gopro 4 and needed to do a school project for my daughter. The gopro quik is a total disaster. Clearly put together by an idiot. Another free one was equally useless. This software saved the whole thing from being canned. As soon as I get a job again I'll be buying the software as a thank you

Pros
Can't speak to everyone's trivial concerns but have been using other NCH programs/apps for years without issue...just downloaded this one and had to splice together 3 separate vids into one...did not need any special effects. I've looked at and tried other splice, cut, modify programs over the years and I can say without fear of contradiction this is definitely one of the most intuitive, easy to pick up program I have used in this genre. Only took a few minutes to pick up and ended up with a perfectly spliced video. This is Program/app is nothing shy of a great program or beginners and possibly some medium level users...yes it's a try and buy if you like but well worth it...and yes I will be buying it...
Thank You NCH....

Cons
None that I can glean from working with it on a 3 video splice that took only minutes to piece together...remember..it always takes time to render a video once you've completed the work you want done
Summary
Nothing shy of a great Program/App for video work

Pros
Lots of transition effects, it looks similar to Movie Maker (I'm not sure if it's pros)
Cons
It frequently crashes. In case, the program finally starts to convert my file, it takes soo long to complete the conversion.

Pros
None, since I can't get it work.
Cons
Every time that I drag a video into it, I get a message that the video does not exist. It have tried numerous videos, but always get this message. I can only assume that it is not ready for OSX Yosemite.

This one is FOR WEINDOWS - IDIOT !!! You want the MAC version
Pros
Good for converting video files that won't play on certain programs, such as Windows Media Player.
Cons
Works completely differently from previous version.
Summary
I hate learning curves. I was very happy with Videopad for Windows 7, but that doesn't work on Win 8. Maybe they improved the program, but I can't use it. I've tried their own video training as well as going on Youtube, but I can't figure it out. Old version was easy: you could drag the video onto its field, click the beginning arrow, click the ending arrow, push the down arrow, then go again until finished. I'm told that isn't the way it's supposed to work, but it did the job for me. Now, you have to be a film editor to make it work. Hey NCH, can't you just release a version that works like the old one, but works on Win 8?

Pros
Easy upload for audio and video files, excellent effects library for transitions, and easy to use as a beginner.
Cons
audio lag when uploading video from webcam, and if fine-tuning is needed, then it is not so easy to use.
Summary
The only reason it gets a three instead of a four-star rating is because the finished product for a project using a webcam came out pixelated, choppy, and out of synch. Otherwise, if using it for basic editing of home videos, it's a good program.

Pros
- Easily joins together bits of video footage or images
- Has a built-in music library, only available when bought
Cons
- Has to individually convert each file, which is very slow and inefficient.
- Sometimes photos will only appear for a split second, then turn black or change to the next slide, no matter what duration has been set.
- Is very slow at everything.
- Preview window is very small and laggy.
Summary
Great for small projects, but large source files take a while to be converted to and from the editor. It hogs most of the CPU, for not much speed, and slideshows are likely to bug out. Once the performance is improved it will be worth re-downloading.
