Video Edit Pro - Video Trim for PC and Mac

Software Reviews and Criticism

• By Boimre

  Adequate for those who miss old quicktime

  Ever since the old, simple, reliable quicktime went away, it has been hard to find a simple video editor that could trim clips down, or merge them. This provides that and I went ahead and bought the $4.99 version. But it isn’t perfect, but it will do. First, the interface is silly and very unMac. On the video trim page, every time you have to push the Add Trim Marker button in order to get the clipping marks to show up. And when you press delete marked video segment, you get a “are you sure you want to do this” alert box. Rather than have that, they should add a simple undo button. That way if you make a mistake, you can simply correct it without having to click yes every time. The Snapshot button is a joke. You cannot specify what you want to title snapshots, nor can you specify into what file the snapshots go. You cannot resize the interface window. You are stuck with its standard size of the interface window. I do like that it lets you export into several formats, but the exporting is SLOW. Not a great software, but it gets the job done.

  Pro version is great!

  For users that are very aware of how much space transcoding takes up, this application is excellent. Many of the movies I keep are in the MP4 format and if I wanted to trim off the end of the credits or a long company logo at the start, I used to bring it into final cut pro, transcode it to Pro Res and then edit and then transcode it back to MP4. I thought it was a necessary evil as I have been trying to find an MP4 EDIT that doesnt need space for transcoding-- especially if you are just going to be keeping the final product in the MP4 format. The program is great for this kinds of time consuming jobs. It doesn't replace final cut for complex work, but the time savings and the minimal hard disc space usage during processing is huge. I strongly recommend this application to anyone who has an MP4 movie/clip library of more than 300 items and wants to trim them, just a bit.

  Seems to do the job, BUT . . .

  If you bother with the trial version, you get great big, darkened red watermark which is more of an overlaying text box than a watermark. Therefore, the resulting file is useless to you. So, I bought the Full Version. Now it leaves a light grey watermark in the upper right hand corner which says “MusicAndVideoHD!” It’s not as obnoxious as the huge red one in the center, but I thought I paid to get rid of watermarks!! I’m not happy with it. It could be a little more user-friendly, also, but maybe I’m a little slow with such things. At first, I gave it two stars but then I relented and gave a third star, remembering that you get what you pay for. I can’t expect an awful lot for $5.00, I guess. In the end, it did what I bought it for but not sure I’ll ever use it again anyway. Hate that watermark though!

  cut out pieces and then save without re-encoding!

  The trimming works well, but the real brilliance of this app is when you select the "use lossless" setting, under "Export format & setting". I use it, for example, to trim segments out of a .mov file (with frame-precise cuts) and then save it without re-encoding as an mp4 . The save is almost instantaneous!
