GPS Telemetry: An Exclusive VSDC Feature

VSDC 10.2 transforms your footage with data-driven storytelling. While other editors lack these advanced features, VSDC brings a complete, integrated solution right to your scene.

Now you can easily place a detailed map underneath your recorded route, сhoose your preferred style, download the map image and it automatically trims to fit your journey. Besides, it's possible now not only to show your path but also add stunning, animated gauges like speedometers, compasses and many more directly inside the editor.

The update introduces tools for creating custom telemetry displays: the Telemetry Widget and Telemetry Text Value. Use them to build your own unique data overlays from scratch, with full control over every element.

For those who want professional-looking results instantly, we offer a vast library of ready-made templates. You can choose individual gauges to place freely or opt for pre-assembled panels for a cohesive look. These templates are available with a PRO license, and you can unlock even more creative options with exclusive Premium packs.

Quick Export of Individual Scenes

VSDC 10.2 introduces a highly anticipated feature: the ability to export individual scenes or a custom selection of them. This gives you the freedom to render only the parts you need, saving you time and storage space.

For the fastest results simply navigate to the Projects Explorer window, right-click on the desired scene and select the new "Export scene" option to render it immediately.

When you need more control, use the main Export project tab. Go to the "Additional settings" tab and disable the "Join scenes to a single file" option. This reveals a full list of all your scenes, allowing you to check the exact ones you want to process.

Advanced Metadata and Chapter Markers

Embed essential details like title, author and copyright directly into the file properties, establishing credibility and ownership from the get-go. You can even assign a compelling custom thumbnail that instantly captures attention before your video is ever played.

Beyond basic info, transform viewing experiences with intuitive chapter markers. Break down lengthy content into digestible, navigable segments. If you create tutorials, documentaries or online courses, this is surely the feature you waited for. These chapters are baked directly into your exported video.

No Missing Fonts Across PCs

Now your carefully selected fonts travel within your packed project file! Whether you're collaborating with a team or moving between your office and home setup, every text element will maintain its exact appearance!

Simply enable the "Save user fonts when project packing" option in Options and rest assured that your packed project will contain not just your media files, but all the fonts used.

Broadened Codec Support

The editor now handles high-efficiency formats like ProRes, DNxHD and CineForm in their native MOV, MXF and AVI containers exactly as they come from your professional camera.

For those who like to work with sound, Microsoft XAudio2 was implemented for pristine Windows audio processing. The update also brings hardware-accelerated support for Intel VP9 and Motion JPEG, while ProRes becomes available for creating smooth proxy workflows.

Even your photos get smarter treatment: JPEG, HEIC and WEBP files now automatically read their orientation data, appearing correctly rotated the moment you import them into your project.

A More Comfortable and Welcoming VSDC

VSDC 10.2 delivers a cleaner, more modern interface with a redesigned timeline color scheme that minimizes eye strain and enables faster object recognition. While you can preserve your current setup, we encourage you to experience the new optimized defaults via the Options!

Embracing our global community, this update introduces full Arabic localization, allowing Middle Eastern users to edit in their native language. Switch to Arabic in General Options and discover a truly localized editing experience.

Other Improvements That Matter

While VSDC 10.2 brings major new features, we've also devoted special attention to refining the tools you use every day. Now you can:

• Restore trimmed clips with new one-click buttons in video properties that return your footage to its original length;
• Capture complex objects with all their nested elements using the snapshot function;
• Simplify your final export through streamlined controls that let you rename files, copy paths and open folders instantly;
• and many more!

These thoughtful refinements work alongside our major innovations to deliver the most reliable and enjoyable VSDC experience.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Is the new GPS Telemetry feature available in the free version of VSDC?

Yes, you can fully test all GPS telemetry features for free within the video editor. Simply add your video containing an embedded GPX file to the timeline. The editor will automatically detect and extract the GPS data, displaying it in the Resources window.
Once extracted, you can use this data to add various widgets like speedometers, maps, compasses and other gauges. Please note: each widget requires specific data to be present in your GPX file. For instance, if speed information wasn't recorded in the file, you won't be able to display a speedometer.
While all these tools are available for free testing, exporting projects created with GPS features requires an active PRO subscription.

2. I have a GoPro. How do I get the GPS data into VSDC?

Most action cameras (like GoPro, DJI, Garmin) record your journey in a separate .GPX file alongside your video files. Simply import your video into VSDC, then drag and drop the corresponding .GPX file from the Resources window onto the timeline to get started.

3. If I pack a project with fonts to work on another computer, do I need to install those fonts on the other machine?

No, you don't. By enabling the "Save user fonts when project packing" option VSDC directly embeds the font files into the project package. This allows you or anyone else opening the project to see all the text exactly as you intended, without needing those fonts installed separately. But please ensure you have the proper license to embed any third-party fonts you use.

4. How do I revert to the old interface if I don't like the new color scheme?

You can easily customize the timeline colors in Options > Timeline color. If you prefer your previous setup, you can manually adjust the colors or, if you exported your settings before updating, simply import them back.
