Create high-quality videos by merging multiple clips, trimming unnecessary sections, applying filters and inserting soundtracks, with this streamlined editing app. #Video editor #Edit video #Video joiner #VLC #Editor #Composer
VideoLAN Movie Creator is a video editing application based on libVLC, the core engine and interface that forms the basis of the popular VLC media player. The latter is praised for its simplicity and versatility, as it can handle pretty much every available format.
The editing application being covered in this review aims to stick to the same principles, so as to provide a powerful and intuitive video editing solution. However, VideoLAN Movie Creator is still in the early stages of development and needs a lot more work before it can become a reliable option.
VideoLAN Movie Creator’s user interface is well designed, despite being somewhat outdated. It consists of multiple panels that can be resized, moved, eliminated or even detached from the main window.
You can add clips from the media list directly to the timeline, insert visual filters from the included library and preview the project before it is exported. However, it is difficult to scroll through the imported videos, and the available effects are not categorized in any way.
VideoLAN Movie Creator can help you get started by providing a basic set of instructions related to your project’s core settings, so you can be certain the right resolution, frame rate, sample rate and channel mode are selected. You can also specify the project’s location and the workspace directory.
Unfortunately, when it comes to exporting your work, VideoLAN Movie Creator can only save the output video locally, as an AVI file, or encode it to MP4 and upload it directly to YouTube.
Overall, VideoLAN Movie Creator is not what we would call disappointing, as the lack of features is understandable at this stage in the development process.
However, even though the foundation is good, the VideoLAN Movie Creator app is not particularly useful in its current state, so we can only wait for future updates and hope they bring some much-needed improvements.
