In this video, we’ll walk you through every tool you can use to cut, split, and trim videos, and show you how each of them works. From there, you can choose the option that is the most efficient for your workflow.

I can't begin to tell you how much I like this for beginners. I've always like VSDC but because it's not as simple as some other video editors, I've not made an effort to really dive into VSDC. With these instructional videos, it has helped me A LOT!
Stay tuned, there's nore to come! And we're thrilled to hear you find our tutorials helpful.
It's literally not functioning and they openly extort money from you upon the failing exporting try. I could not do the basic cut to the shortest video and apply just two filters, to make it look like an "old movie". It's not working on my Windows laptop, although I installed the version that they said I should.
It’s getting better day by day! I’ve learnt alot from this editing tool since I started my CZcams channel. I’m back to making videos after a long break this will definitely help a lot.
Never stop creating!
This has been a very helpful feature!!!! Thank you VSDC!!!
Glad to hear that. Thank you
I'm returning to video editing after a couple of years of little activity, so having had some good results with VSDC in the past it's great to see the latest update and these superb tutorial videos ... it's just perfect timing for me. Hoping you'll get round to a video covering joining video with scene transitions, a function I used previously with some great results.
Great to hear!
@@VSDCFreeVideoEditor i LOE ALL OFTHE OPTIONS THAT COME WITH THIS SOFTWARE. BUT NOTHING BEATS THE EASE AND FUNCTIONALITY OF FILMORA12. iF YOUR AN OLD SCHOOL 35MM FILM EDITOR LIKE ME, THAN FILMORA, _(ESP. THEIR LATEST RELEASE) __IS THE OPTION THAT HELPS GET YOU BACK IN THE GAME. BUT IF YOUR IN THE MOOD FOR CHANGING THINGS UP AND DEVELOPING NEW AND INNOVATIVE SKILLS. THEN YOU ARE DEFINATELY IN THERIGHT PLACE.
👋😎Hey there Bunni-Person...!? By any chance, would you happen to know if VSDC Video Editor provides some sort of AUTO SCENE DETECTOR..?? I've looked all over FOR IT AND ASKED AROUND, BUT NEVER GOT AN ANSWER...😒🤳
This is so simple thx!
Glad it helped!
This is very important tool while editing videos
I held down shift to trim the clip, and it worked. Then I saved it. Then I trimmed some more off the start holding down shift, but it didn't work. When I dragged the clip back to 0.00, the old footage was immediately there again in the clip.
As the months pass seems, VSDC is making it easier and easier for the average editor to use this program. Thank you.
That's the goal!
You gotta be kidding. I spent hours on a five-minute video just applying filters and still got nothing that I could export, and they wouldn't even allow me to cut it to make it shorter, forcing the original length of the video on me and bombarding me with the unwanted annoying messages to upgrade and with false allegations that I used "prime features", when I couldn't even cut the goddamn video and only applied two filters. There is nothing "easy" about this complete waste of time. I'm simply infuriated with the entire lie.
VSDC is awesome.
Awesome fantastic outstanding
Thank you!
Hello vsdc, nice video. I just wanted to know how to make a electric text effect which has a electricity all around a text ot a object. Please make a tutorial on it. It would be really appreciated
Hey VSDC! I wanted to suggest a new possible feature from Adobe Premiere Pro. This would most likely be for premium users.
The "Automate To Sequence" method allows multiple clips to adjust their clip length to markers automatically. This would be very helpful for making, for example, a montage and you want each clip to start & end at each marker, where the marker is manually set to each beat of the music.
I don't know how it works fully so if you want to look into it you could!
Thank you for add 'Cut out content' back.
Now I can use version 7.x to my work.
Glad it helped
Hi, great video! Could you do a tutorial on how to create these transitions you used at 1:57? :)
Hi, I am see your Video from Bangladesh. Your Video is very Helpful.

If I have cut out one section of a video and need to undo it but have already saved, is there a way to merge these back together? I cut one part before adding a zoom effect, but I need to make it longer and the zoom can't continue past the cut. I did not remove any footage so I would just need to undo the cuts. is that possible without using ctrl z, considering I already saved?
Hello, please press the Shift key and drag the edge of the footage to restore the cut area.
The Cartoony Talker has the same hair color for so many years ... give it another color ... the kids will love it. Can it be done with vsdc ?
I split it but when i replay it 30 frames of the video went missing. I didn't add any transitions. But when I go back frame by frame the missing parts exisis. Just only when I play back it freezes for a second.

Is there a way to remove sound from a video after splitting it? I noticed that the "remove audio" feature is not available once a video has been split.
Hello, сould you please specify which option you are using to remove audio from the video? In the Properties window, when you select an object on the timeline, there is an option called "Audio track" where you can mute the sound for the object.
@@VSDCFreeVideoEditor someone from VSCD Facebook helped me, Thank you
I've been editing a piece and all of a sudden the cut out fragment and split into parts tools are not working. They are both greyed out. I've tried contacting vsdc, but to no avail. Does anyone know what would cause this?
Hello, your request has been replied by email.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Maybe it is because the software has been updated.. but I am trying to cut about 15-20 minutes out of the middle of my video and something is just not working. I don't have that little separate window it is showing in the tutorial and I don't see (on my page) where it was saved after the cut and split. ugh.
Hello, please email us at support@videosoftdev.com and provide us with exact steps you are following. We will be happy to help.
I used to use this function all the time with no problem. Now I can't figure it out to save my life. Looking for a new editor.
...so, what's the problem?
how trim and split text on free version vsdc for making lyrics
Hello, unfortunately, it is not possible to trim or split a text object directly on the timeline. Similarly, you cannot split or divide images or shape objects on the timeline. These actions can only be performed on video clips. However, you can duplicate text objects using the CTRL+V and CTRL+C keyboard shortcuts.
To adjust the duration of a text object, you can simply click and drag its edges on the timeline to shorten or extend its length. Alternatively, you can modify the duration values in the properties window.
Before the new update A few months ago I used to delete a part of a video and all the other videos after it would just snap together into one. I am working with a lot of little vids (vlogger) so I can’t drag each one every time I delete a tiny portion. How can I do that? It’s the simplest thing and I still can’t figure it out!
Hello. Could you please clarify the steps you are following to remove part of the video? The option you describe sounds similar to the "Cut out fragment" feature, but it typically works with a single file, not multiple files. However, as a workaround, we recommend using the "Set blocks order" option to remove empty spaces between files: prnt.sc/70SSOYeC3y-n
@@VSDCFreeVideoEditor thanks set blocks order is what I was looking for!
Using the latest version, I can't split to a new layer, rather it remains on the same layer in the timeline. I can see the red splits, but can't move it to another layer for editing. Up and down arrow does not work.
Hello, your request has been replied by email.
How can I make lots of transition like filmora
How can I prevent the video from skipping at the split points when I add music to it?
Hello, Are you experiencing lag when the cursor reaches a split point during playback? If so, try using proxies: czcams.com/video/4HinWfdPVmA/video.html
Hi, how do i fix stutter on a split part of video? I just can't fix the part when the split is meeting the other split then there is a stutter occurring. Thank you.
Yes..... I have that same problem
@@navaneethk24 Still waiting for their response. Seems that they don't have a fix as of now.
Been looking all over to try to fix this, did you ever figure it out?
@@DreamerDes nope.... Also when i reverse a video it also lags.... But when i reverse an image sequence it works very well... I dont know why...
@@navaneethk24 I guess that’s something they have to work on 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ sucks cause I edited a whole video for me to have to start over using something else 🤣
I literally just want to cut off the beginning and the end of a video, and been trying to figure out how to do it with VSDC, for like half an hour already. I'm starting to lose my mind here. Why isn't the simplest of editing feature a bit more obvious? I'm not even a computer noob at all. (as you can tell from using the word 'noob')
Hello, sorry to hear you’re dealing with a problem. Let's see if we can assist you in resolving the issue.
There are two methods you can try to cut off the beginning and the end of your video in VSDC:
Split Method:
- Select the file you want to split by a single mouse click on the Timeline.
- Place the cursor to the point where the first fragment should end and the second should begin.
- Then click the Split into parts razorlike looking button on the Tools section of the Editor tab.
- Click anywhere on the timeline to unselect the split objects.
- Now, select the unwanted part you want to delete and remove it.
Cut Method:
- Set the Work area that corresponds to the fragment you want to remove. You can do this by moving the grey rectangles above the timeline to mark the desired area. (Refer to this screenshot: prnt.sc/68-TdPrjqD-t)
- Once the Work area is set, open the Editor tab and click the "Cut out fragment" button in the Tools section.
Make sure that the video file you want to edit is highlighted on the Timeline.
- After cutting out the unwanted part, the file will be split into two separate files, and the workspace will collapse.
If you still encounter difficulties, don't hesitate to contact our support team at support@videosoftdev.com. We'll be more than happy to assist you further and guide you through the process.
Does this also work for removing audio?
Yep. You can select the audio track on the timeline and cut out the unwanted pieces
Pro user, is there any way to make the audio sound normal when you slow down footage?
Have you tried splitting audio and video and only applying the speed change to the video track?
@@VSDCFreeVideoEditor Thanks for the reply, actually need the audio to be the same speed as the video, use VSDC to edit my RC car vids, VSDC makes the audio sound odd when you slow it down, hard to explain but it sounds very tinny, echoey, screechy and the more you slow it down the worse it sounds, but when I slow footage down in windows 10 video editor the tone of the audio stays the same even though the sound is slower, can do some comparison vids to explain what I mean if it helps 😀
@@RCOffRoad76 In the properties tab... Try to change your audio streching mode to tempo or Rate change... It may help👍
@@navaneethk24 Thank you 👍! changing it to Rate change did it, sounds much better, slower sound but normal pitch
@@RCOffRoad76 you are welcome😍
I think this feature is already there in Vsdc, bcoz I used this feature a year ago, except the shift and drag option.
Partically so, yes. In this tutorial, we're covering what's new about this feature
@@VSDCFreeVideoEditor day by day Vsdc standards is improving 👍
Keep it up VSDC team.
It seems the splitting tool does not work on images. Just audio and video. It grays out when you try to split an image
Hi,
Well, there's really no need to split images since they're static. You can simply grab the side handle of the image layer ad drag it inwards if you want to cut its duration (You can also use the duration parameter in the Properties window)
how to move small splits. please help
Hello, you can zoom in on the timeline and then move the object using the mouse - prnt.sc/C0cXBCq2fZTm. Alternatively, you can place the cursor in the desired position, select the object, and use the "Move blocks" option - prnt.sc/p-gMz64ntW47.
@@VSDCFreeVideoEditor Thank you so much 🙏🏽 Does VSDC have a tutorial on how to use it program
While there is no video tutorial available, you can always reach out to our support team if you encounter any difficulties at support@videosoftdev.com.
@@VSDCFreeVideoEditor ok Thanks
The "cut out fragment" function is poorly named.
How to make volume low and high than back ground music
Hello, to achieve the desired effect of lowering and raising the volume in specific parts of the audio, you can use the Amplify effect and adjust its curve. Here's a screenshot to illustrate: prnt.sc/ZusGZ9TW04f4
If you're using the free version, you can also try cutting the file and simply adjusting the volume of the desired parts in the Properties window: prnt.sc/l2BZab5tJ5Lv
However, if you're referring to scenarios where there is speech and background music in the audio and you want to decrease the volume of the speech while increasing the volume of the background music, unfortunately, VSDC doesn't support that feature.
@@VSDCFreeVideoEditor thank u.... Will try it
If you can no longer undo a cut how do you remove it?
Hello, please press the Shift key and drag the edge of the footage to restore the cut area.
@@VSDCFreeVideoEditor I have cut the clip but not deleted any part of the clip.
We apologize for the confusion. We did not mean to imply that you deleted any part of the clip. The only way to remove a cut is to extend the file from the edge where you made the modification. You can do this by holding down the Shift key and dragging the edge until you fully restore the clip.
Regarding deletion, we were referring to the scenario where you initially split the clip and then restored one part of it. In that case, you can delete the other unwanted portion.
Our support team has provided you with a detailed instruction guide accompanied by screenshots. Please refer to their message for further assistance.
@@VSDCFreeVideoEditor This does not work, I think I need to explain it better. The clip has been split but nothing has been deleted or even moved and then a while later I only want to remove the split mark? Is this possible to remove a split mark without pressing undo in VSDC?
@@VSDCFreeVideoEditor That really does not work, is it different on a PC?
the software is not free. the free version lets you edit. them when u try to save says you use a premium feature....
Hello, we have both a free version and a paid one (PRO), that is stated on our official website. Most basic features like cutting, splitting, effects etc are indeed available for free, allowing for smooth basic video editing.
pls make a video on "how to edit mapping in 3D"
Unfortunately, VSDC don't support 3D mode at this moment.
@@VSDCFreeVideoEditor ok
Thanks for reply sir...
Then pls only make tutorial " How to edit mapping in 2D"
I want to make travelling map.
cutting out parts of a video makes the part a black screen instead of removing it, so instead of a 30 second clip i get 15 full minutes of black screen with 30 second a clip in the middle
Hello, to clarify, did you use the working area above the timeline to select the part of the video you wanted to remove, and then use the scissors tool to cut it out? From your description, it seems that you might have split the video using the razor tool and then selected and removed a portion, which resulted in the remaining part being separated by blank black screens. If this is the case, yes, the space between the split files will remain empty, but you can always move the files closer together to eliminate the blank space.
However, if you are certain that you used the working area and the scissors tool as intended to cut and collapse the video, and the black screen issue persists, please reach out to us at support@videosoftdev.com. Kindly provide us with precise steps and screenshots of the process you followed, and we will investigate the settings to assist you further.
NCH is easy to delete an unwanted part in the video, VSDC use hardware acceleration and fast. I can't use both, cuz if i use NCH, i will still have my time wasted.
титры идут быстро и понять очень сложно...надо русский перевод голосом...титры не подходят !
Здравствуйте,
Чтобы замедлить видео (и, соответственно, субтитры), вы можете замедлить скорость проигрывания в настройках самого видео на CZcams (правый нижний угол)
terrible video , musics too loud , you dont say what to highlight with on the cutting
We appreciate your continued feedback on our instructional videos. We apologize if the music levels were too loud and if we didn't explicitly mention what to use for highlighting during the cutting process.
In our video, we provide a visual demonstration of each step along with accompanying audio descriptions. If any specific details were not explicitly mentioned, you can observe the actions taken in the video itself. We would appreciate more specific information about the step where you encountered difficulties.
We value your input and strive to improve our tutorials. If you can provide more details or specify the particular step where you stumbled, it would help us address the issue more effectively. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
I cant use the cutting and splitting tool
Hello! These functions might be disabled if you haven't selected your file on the timeline. If it's not the key, could you please give some more details about the problem?
