Flash-Integro announces VSDC Free Video Editor 3.0, a new update of its acclaimed video editing software. The new version redefines video editing by making it 100% non-linear. Practically, this means the program provides a lot of previously unavailable video editing options, while existing techniques have become faster and more efficient.

While home video editing tools are usually simple, this doesn’t mean they can’t deliver decent capabilities. VSDC Free Video Editor 3.0 recently released by Flash-Integro proves this by enhancing its signature non-linear editing toward even higher flexibility.

Non-linear editing, a key feature of the program, allows users to arbitrarily place objects and video fragments on the timeline and easily manipulate them. The new update of VSDC Free Video Editor goes further and provides a simpler and more intuitive way of handling objects and effects. Previously, objects and effects were controlled by constant or linearly changing values – position on the screen, rotation speed, intensity of a certain special effect, or a specific contrast value. Now, all those parameters (and dozens of others!) have become non-linear too.

Instead of propagating multiple objects and effects in the project to achieve the desired goal, users can now simply adjust a few parameters or select a ready-to-go math function to program virtually any possible behavior. For example, to make an object pulsate – appear and disappear according to some pattern – previously a user had to add multiple Fade In and Fade Out effects, synchronize them on the timeline and adjust each effect object individually. Now, the same can be done in a minute by simply applying a proper, functional curve to the Transparency effect. In addition, the new approach allows for creating effects that were hardly achievable in the previous version of the editor or not achievable at all.

Thanks to such truly non-linear freedom, users armed with VSDC Free Video Editor 3.0 can express creativity easier and achieve better results in less time. This, of course, is crucial for home video editing.

Flash-Integro developed a new major release of its acclaimed VSDC Free Video Editor 2.2.2. The update features industry-unique support for semi-transparent videos, offers convenient pre-configured profiles for web videos, adds support for SRT subtitles for easy labeling of and commenting on a video, and brings in instantly applied styles and effects.

The first great novelty is the support creating of semi-transparent videos. What is that? Now, a user can add semi-transparent objects to a video just as easy as normal images, movies, and other typical objects and create own semi-transparent videos. The app can work with multiple formats that use an alpha-channel or other ways to represent transparent pixels, such as PNG, lossless JPEG and GIF. Semi-transparency is a great artistic effect and a powerful option for video presentations, but unfortunately it rarely finds itself in affordable video editors. VSDC Free Video Editor now bridges this gap.

The second new option is a whole new pre-defined profile category – web videos. With it, a user can make a video, then instantly select one of the web video profiles and receive a ready-to-upload file in the given format (FLV, MP4, SWF, GIF) and settings optimized for the Internet. With the growing popularity of various video casts, YouTube channels, let’s plays, and video reviews of all kinds, such a quick way to get a turnkey Web video will be greatly appreciated by users.

Instant styles and effects pursue the same goal: to let the user quickly apply a cool effect to a video and immediately see the result. The support for SRT subtitles makes it possible to add multiple text comments to certain scenes of the video using the built-in script language. And if that wasn’t enough for the update, the new version also eases timeline operation and speeds up transparent object rendering thanks to SSE2 support.

Featuring many cool improvements, new options and possibilities, VSDC Free Video Editor remains straightforward, intuitive and, of course, free software.

The new VSDC Free Video Editor 2.3.0 update released by Flash-Integro adds 3 dedicated utilities to download, burn, and convert videos, speeds up exporting and preview, reduces memory consumption and improves the use of multi-core CPUs for fluent and smooth performance.

VSDC Free Video Editor keeps delivering new functions and options with every version. And the latest one brings an impressive number of useful options too. In the center of the new update are: enhanced performance of the application thanks to reduced memory consumption, better utilization of CPU multiple cores, and the reworked algorithms of cubic and supersampling interpolation resulting in 3 to 4 times faster resizing. The latter option also greatly speeds up exporting and previewing of videos. Parallel processing of scenes on multiple CPU cores increases the smoothness of previewing and promotes 50-100% faster format converting.

In addition, VSDC Free Video Editor now features 3 new capable tools to manipulate videos easier. The first instrument is a video format converter equipped with optimized format-to-format conversion presets. While in-editor conversion is still possible, using a devoted tool delivers better size/quality ratios. The disk recording utility can now burn any files the user wants to a CD/DVD/Blu-ray disk, not just projects created in VSDC Video Editor. Finally, the Downloader tool can retrieve videos for editing from multiple web video services starting from YouTube.

Among other novelties are full-featured group operations in the Wizard for easier handling of multiple objects in the timeline, better thumbnail visualization, and new filters and effects that also work faster than ever before.

VSDC Free Video Editor is perhaps the only video editing solution of such versatility and ease of use that is offered for free, no strings attached. And the latest update sets the new standard for a free video editor.

Flash-Integro releases VSDC Free Video Editor 2.2.0. Capable video editing software that now allows for creating an animated object from a set of static images forming a video sequence. A series of optimization techniques applied to the frame processing resulted in a notable performance increase in the new version.

VSDC Free Video Editor already gained a good amount of popularity because it houses more than a user would expect from a free tool. Along with special non-linear video editing and subpixel manipulation with video fragments and pictures – the unique features of the program – VSDC also offers decent performance, an extremely intuitive user interface, and a range of exporting options including one-click DVD/Blu-ray burning.

Previously, the program allowed for adding video, images, and audio fragments to the final footage. However, many professionals who are experienced in the arts often need custom-drawn animated objects on the video – rotating logotypes, animated indicators, or labels and so on. And it is this gap that the new version of VSDC Free Video Editor fills. Now, a user can prepare a set of static images in any preferred format, including the native format of the Photoshop editor, and import the files to the program that compiles them into an animated object.

Just as in the other objects that the tool supports, animations are easily configurable. A user can specify the frame duration, choose key frame settings, and select the position of the individual image in a frame thereby enabling an animator artist to save a lot of time.

Therefore, thanks to the new option, VSDC Free Video Editor can replace specialized picture animation software, but with one crucial difference: the program is absolutely free.

A major bottleneck of many video editors for home users is poor performance. VSDC Free Video Editor notably stands above the competition, and the new release is just another investment into this advantage. In particular, the new version features an improved and optimized video processing core that allows you to boost video generation performance by up to an outstanding 50%. Exporting and converting of video formats enjoy this increase as well, although to a lesser extent.
