Still, because VSDC is a free video editor, there's no harm in giving it a try. While VSDC has an abundance of third-party videos to get you up to speed, HitFilm offers a somewhat more approachable look and feel it's also loaded with features that VSDC lacks, such as 360-degree video editing, if that’s your jam. VSDC is not the most user-friendly editor, because it employs unfamiliar terminology and an unorthodox interface that requires a look through the instructions before you can figure it out. It's good for consumer audiences who are not fixated on more exotic features, like 360-degree editing, but just want to master the basics, like joining, cutting and editing clips adding transitions, special effects, and text and outputting the results to social networks. The free version of VSDC is a capable video editor for routine tasks. The program offers rich functionality and yet has a simple and intuitive interface, allowing you to create videos with a bare minimum of efforts. While DaVinci Resolve was much slower, it doesn't compare with the other apps, because it needed more graphics horsepower than my test computer has in order to run more efficiently. VSDC Pro Video Editor is a video editor is intended for editing video files and creating videos of any complexity involving various visual and audio effects. On the 60-fps transcode test, VSDC lost by a hair to HitFilm, coming in at 4:52 as opposed to HitFilm's 4:45.

iMovie was an equally fast 2:15, but we tested it on a MacBook Air (mid-2013) running macOS High Sierra with a 1.7-GHz Intel Core i7 processor with HD Graphics 5000 and 8GB of RAM. Among Windows programs, VSDC was the runner-up in the 30-fps contest, coming in at 3:20, about a minute slower than Shotcut (2:13).
