It’s located at the top of the program interface and called “Cutting and Splitting tools” – see the illustration below. The reason these features are united in one chapter – they all are available in the same quick-access menu. How to cut, split, crop, and rotate a video in VSDC

Still feeling a bit confused? Check out this video tutorial to get a hang of VSDC timeline. Keep in mind that you can have files on the same layer (linear sequence) or on different layers (non-linear sequence). The “Insert new layer” option will add one right below the selected layer.Įach time you select a file on your computer, it’s automatically placed on the timeline. If you select “Add a new layer”, the new layer will be added at the very top. The latter allows you to choose whether the file should be added as a new layer or placed on the current one. Note that when you add a new file this way, a window pops up to confirm object’s position settings and layer’s position. 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. By the way, we encourage you to always make sure you’ve installed the latest version of VSDC from our official website.
