VideoPad is simple video editing software. This is not a professional video editor. But we can use this software to edit a simple video. Many transitions and video effects are included in VideoPad and we can use them to create a nice video as our wish. Both free version and paid version of VideoPad is available. If you are a beginner to video editing you can use free version and practice. We can make a good video using the free version also. VideoPad is a great tool for the beginners in video editing field and they can learn lot of things from this software because it is very simple to use. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros VideoPad has a simple user interface and it is easy to use. NCH team has released two versions of this software. One version can be used for free. We can use the free version to try the software. This is a great opportunity for users because they can buy the software if they are satisfied with the features of the software. This software comes with many visual effects. I really like this software because of the simplicity. We do not need to follow any course to learn VideoPad. I learn it through using the software itself. This software supports many common video formats such as avi, mpeg, wmv, divX, Xvid, mp4, mov, vob etc. After finishing the edit we can directly burn it to a DVD or we can upload it to the YouTube through the software. No need to do the burning or uploading process separately. #### Cons We cannot output the video in mp4 format if we use the free version of the software. It is the major disadvantage of the free version. Because mp4 is the most common video format that supports most of the video players, this is a big drawback to VideoPad. But we can output mp4 video if we purchase the software. VideoPad is not suitable for professional video editors. Here we have only a limited amount of visual effects. VideoPad takes much time to render a video. Therefore we have to wait long time to get the final video output after editing the video. --- ### VideoPad for Easy and Convenient Video Editing - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Jim Paul B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I would give this software 3.5 out out of 5 stars because despite its basic features, it still stands out as a convenient tool that doesn't require much effort learning its buttons. The interface is so user-friendly and is a top-of-the-line application among video-editing tools. It's not that pricey, that's why anyone can just afford it. And if you're lucky, you might be able to buy a premium version at a discounted price. For a classroom teacher like me, I don't need high-end software other than a basic video-editing app like this. It works best for me because I'm able to accomplish much (creating video lessons for my classes) with less effort. It's super time-saver! Quality videos created with efficiency-- all thanks to VideoPad! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros I like the easy-to-use features of VideoPad software because I find them convenient for newbies like me. In fact, it didn't take long for me to get the hang of the buttons because they are just plain and simple. The app is classic and is super user-friendly! Also, there is pretty much a wide array of downloadables to choose from ranging from background templates, audios, transitions to font styles, stickers, and other effects. I also love the fact that the software allows users to update its system once in a while until a certain period of time where the user must purchase it again. By the way, I did avail the product at a discounted price, which makes this software really amazing. #### Cons For all the good things the VideoPad software has, unfortunately, it also comes with some disadvantages, one of which is its limitations when it comes to its effects and other elements. The functions of the tools are just plain basic, that if in case one wonders going technical or advanced in its video presentation, this application is not the one I would recommend. However, I could suggest that for optimum utilization, this can just be used as an easy-to-use software to complement other products out in the market, because this app also has other features that some tools don't have. --- ### Can't Recommend. Read the Fine Print. It is *really* a 6 mos subscription. - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: February 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered We were able to quickly catch on but discovered the quality of videos we produced were very low quality. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros Was able to learn quickly and sort out features. #### Cons Purchase is valid and updated for 6 mos. After 6 mos, updates will be applied and your "license" code will be invalid. You can re-install your purchase version IF you kept your original download. License codes are not transferable between multiple computers that you own or if you get a new computer. Videos recorded at 5000kbps lose 90% of their bitrate upon exporting. #### Reasons for choosing VideoPad Seemed less expensive. Turns out to be 50x more expensive with all the re-do work that is required. #### Reasons for switching to VideoPad Movavi crashed regularly. #### Vendor response Hi, For this issue: "Videos recorded at 5000kbps lose 90% of their bitrate upon exporting." It would be best answered by our technical support team. Please contact them here - - https://www.nch.com.au/support.html Sorry for the inconvenience. Replied February 2021 --- ### Videopad Review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Sanjay S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Entertainment - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Ignoring one or two shortcomings, it is still my favorite software for video editing for the last 6 years. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros You have to study many editing softwares first, but the interface of Videopad is so simple that you create videos from day one and there is a lot of fun in working with Videopad. #### Cons Text effects are not too many on this software and When you type multiple subtitles in a video, the font or position you hold for one subtitle gets applied to all subtitles. --- ### VideoPad Makes Editing Easy - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Joe D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Entertainment - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I started with the free version, but because VideoPad could do everything from resizing to greenscreen to HD processing, I purchased the paid version and cannot live without it. Using VideoPad has given me the opportunity to make high quality and viral videos that got me recognized around the world. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The simplicity of editing literally any video at the highest quality. #### Cons Nothing. This is the best video software available in my opinion. --- ### Much More Functional Than Similar Priced Software - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Heidi H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Arts and Crafts - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: October 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I really like VideoPad. After struggling with other similar software I find it a huge relief to use their interface. When I create Intros, I go to other software to do that and bring it into VideoPad. But that's the only thing I create elsewhere. Much more robust and a lot easier to use than Wondershare Filmora. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I love that it's possible to create multiple video and audio tracks all layered. Wondershare Filmora does not allow this (!). It's also possible to drag the tracks right and left on the timeline. Wondershare Filmora, for example, does not allow this either which makes it very challenging to do anything complex. So Videopad supports complex videos with many layers, which is what I always end up creating. This software was the easiest video software for me to learn to use. The user interface is generally intuitive. It has a lot of different kinds of transitions - definitely adequate for anything I plan to do It has a lot of adjustment tools - ways to adjust the video color etc. - for the price. #### Cons It doesn't have as good intros as other software (Filmora Wondershare and Typito have way better intros) Once a transition vanished from my video and even with emailing Help I couldn't ever future out a way to fix it. I had to do that part of the video in another program ultimately which was super inconvenient. But this is the only time that ever happened. Ever since transitions have always stayed. The Help responses were slow and none of them helped. But at least people are there and do answer at least part of the time. --- ### Super Easy Platfrom to work with! - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Amanda B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: March 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I've enjoyed putting out videos with this app. Dreading video editing is now a thing of the past. You literally get lost down your creative hole while using this app because of how super easy to use it is. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros You can work with Videopad editor as a beginner and not find difficulty accessing controls and adjustments. It's like they were in the mind of the user when they made the editor. I love how well it incorporates sounds. I love that you can easily break up sounds and slow them down or fasten them up. I love that you can drag and drop videos super easily. You can spend hours on the app because of how easy it is to use. #### Cons I don't like the three-day trial period limit. It could be adjusted to a month for a better experience. --- ### Cost effective tool to edit, merge, split your videos with ease - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Swapnil D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Very cost effective tool and easy to use for video preparations #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Good feature of sound amplify. If you have recorded some video with low sound volume and want to amplify it then this tool has great feature to do it and it is very useful. I am able to amplify sound of videos with ease. It is easy to add subtitles to video. I am able to define videos targeted with subtitles shown in the video itself instead of SRT file #### Cons limitedsupport for animated videos or videos with special effects. Text to speed conversion is not 100% accurate and there would be errors in text generated from speech #### Vendor response Hello there, Thank you for your feedback. We offer free video tutorials that will allow you a deeper understanding of our basic features and tools including help with animated films.

It has a lot of options and it's really simple to use. Personally, I loved how much I could do on my new videos without having to see the software crashing, so I consider it a big plus. Differently to other softwares, it seems to be working really well. #### Cons I think that adding a few more quick effects would help a lot, but that aside, the software is really valid. --- ### It's worth every dollar - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Santiago A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Easy to use, this program allows you to open almost any audio and video extension in the market. You can use its free version but it convinces you a lot, but it pays to pay a license for a work tool as good as this one. Others in the market worry about great visual details in the interface, but NCH reaches a balance that does not suffer your computer working or your patience. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros What I like most is the simplicity that it offers to work with any video and audio. They offer you a platform of multiple resources for your video project. I have used it with complete satisfaction. Its use is not complicated, if you are looking for a good option and do not want to spend much this software is perfect with you. It is not as expensive as other options in the market, and it offers you, export in formats that others do not. I am very satisfied. #### Cons They should improve the details of the user interface, not bad, but it can be better. I like that it does not demand so many resources from the teams. --- Showing 1 - 10 of 181 Reviews [See All Reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/video-making/videopad-profile/reviews/) ## VideoPad Popular Comparisons [Movavi Video Editor Plus vs VideoPad](https://www.softwareadvice.com/video-making/movavi-video-editor-plus-profile/vs/videopad/)[Adobe Premiere Pro vs VideoPad](https://www.softwareadvice.com/video-editing/adobe-premiere-pro-profile/vs/videopad/)[Filmora vs VideoPad](https://www.softwareadvice.com/video-making/filmora-profile/vs/videopad/)[DaVinci Resolve vs VideoPad](https://www.softwareadvice.com/video-editing/davinci-resolve-profile/vs/videopad/)[Adobe After Effects vs VideoPad](https://www.softwareadvice.com/video-editing/adobe-after-effects-profile/vs/videopad/)[Camtasia vs VideoPad](https://www.softwareadvice.com/video-making/camtasia-profile/vs/videopad/)[Riverside vs VideoPad](https://www.softwareadvice.com/audio-editing/riverside-profile/vs/videopad/)[AVS Video Editor vs VideoPad](https://www.softwareadvice.com/video-making/avs-video-editor-profile/vs/videopad/)[Final Cut Pro vs VideoPad](https://www.softwareadvice.com/video-making/final-cut-pro-profile/vs/videopad/) [Compare All Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/video-making/videopad-profile/alternatives/) ## See what companies are saying about Software Advice
