To do it, use the dedicated “Add object” buttons located at the top and on the left-hand side of the program menu - see the illustration below. You can also add files to your project in real-time while working on it. After you choose a file on your PC, a window will pop up asking whether you’d like to change resolution, framerate, or other parameters. This is an optimal way because VSDC will automatically detect all the parameters of your video and adjust the project parameters accordingly.

First, you can use the “Import content” icon on the start screen when you launch the program (illustrated above). There are several ways to import files to VSDC. So, prepare yourself a large mug of coffee (or whatever helps you stay focused), sit back, and launch VSDC on your PC to practice new skills right away.īy the way, we encourage you to always make sure you’ve installed the latest version of VSDC from our official website. We’ll show you how to perform the most essential basic actions in VSDC: cutting, cropping, rotating, and more.

When we talk about VSDC, we like to describe it as a professional-level video editing software.
