Virtual Edit for Windows

User Reviews

• Decent Editor, Lousy support.

  outdoorsproSeptember 25, 2011

  Pros

  Good, easy to use editor with nice playback and audio features.

  Cons

  Help menu is very minimal, making it quite difficult to learn how to use many of the best features. My biggest problem is that I cannot get it to render with embedded audio from the video files. It will render the first few, then just freeze up.

  Summary

  I'm not happy. I upgraded to the "Standard" version and actually liked it, once I was able to figure out how to use its features. Unfortunately, I cannot solve the audio rendering problem. I've sent a copy of the VE-generated data sheet to their support address and have not heard back from them after repeated attempts over months. It's too bad really, as it IS a good editor, but if it won't render simple projects without freezing, and they can't get back to you with support issues (with a paid upgrade), I'd have to recommend steering clear of this product. Forget about upgrading to the next level, the HD editor. Not with the lousy manual and zero user support.

• Frustrated

  dbphiladelphiaFebruary 6, 2008

  Pros

  Seems to have a ton of intuitive features, possibly something that the seasoned user may be into.

  Cons

  I'll never know, as both tests went horrendously wrong. Test 1 was with an avi file that plays fine in my media player, but in the test, the video began to flicker and finaly went out completely in both preview and after rendering. Went through the help menu and tried a couple different setting tweaks to no avail. 2nd test was a .mov file straight from my camera, but the frames/per/second rate was incompatible with the program. Perhaps the error is on my side, but I'll never know.

• Not better than Windows Movie Maker

  Lee 85December 2, 2007

  Pros

  I disagree with what other reviewers had to say. I really couldn't find anything so good about the software. There are so many disappointing bad points when compared to WMM.

  Cons

  1) Takes 3 times longer than WMM (Windows Movie Maker) to import and up to 10 times longer to render file<p>2) Does not allow adding of subtitle<p>3) WMM has much more features than this and is free<p>4) To editors: WMM hang because you did not uncheck compatibility filters in option menu under tool.<p>5) You cannot even adjust the volume of the imported audio(!)<p>6) You cannot even fade out a simple audio(!)<p>After using it for 2 days I was so fustrated I uninstalled it and cleared all registry traces.

• Very annoying

  cvinzantMay 15, 2007

  Pros

  Can use many file types

  Cons

  Constantly crashes. Not intuitive. Lousy instructions. And after you've spent hours working on a project in the test version, it tells you that most of your work won't be saved unless you buy the program.

• it works! and it beats micro$oft movie maker!

  edwardsmarkApril 22, 2007

  Pros

  having searched for a couple of years for a decent m$ movieMaker alternative, i gave this a try. <p> <p>i am primarily making video clips for our business so i am using aca screen recorder. this seems to be the only movie editor that works with captured screen recordings. <p> <p>1) it works <p>2) it is very easy to use <p>3) it is packed with useful features <p>4) it seems to take any video format you can throw at it <p>5) the final results look very professional

  Cons

  the current version is lacking some features i would appreciate, but it appears the new beta versions deal with all of these. i suspect anything i wanted will be there.

• Your search is over for a good video editor!

  August 14, 2004

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This program is amazing! The program you download is only an evaluation that won't let you export your video with all the cool effects, but when you pay the very reasonable $40 dollar fee you get a very powerful video editing program. You can't beat this program without spending over $100! Two thumbs way up!

• Great for simple things

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  I've been able to splice together small clips, or convert various file formats using this package. No spyware that I'm aware of. Very functional for free!
