Even though making money is a great thing to have, starting a KZread channel should be about finding your *passion* and turning it into videos. That way, you'll be much more inclined to be consistent since you genuinely enjoy what you do! 👌🏻

I love this ! It really got me going with VSDC - I was having problems with it before. The language is clear, the division into sections or chapters on discrete topics is ideal for finding things a second or third time. I was up and running within a day. Highly recommended - who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks ?(75 and still learning - such fun). Thank you so much.

Great video man! I used VSDC for 2 years before switching to Resolve, and never knew I could be doing slow motion!!! That would've really changed things for me! I agree, the way they expand each clip into its own timeline sort of when you add effects is a little weird, but still, it's a pretty powerful software for someone just starting out. Thanks for taking the time to make a tutorial!

Hi! We add new tools every few months, and we actually upgraded the slow motion feature with reframing modes a bit more than a year ago. So yes, you can easily achieve a perfect slow motion effect even after decreasing your video's frame rate drastically.

Downloaded this editor a week ago and if it wasn`t for your video I think I would have given up on it, I am 65 and a bit overwhelmed by all the new technology there is out there. But like I said your video has given me a basic understanding of this editor and I think it will serve me well with a few slideshows I want to do as well as some videos. So, thanks again and keep up the good work
