Pros

“VideoPad provides a solid foundation for video editing, especially for beginners or those focused on producing straightforward, informative content.”

Len L.

Editor

“The audio effects are good for volume levels etc. but I tend to use NCH AudioPad to mix and manipulate my sounds then import it into VideoPad, as expected they complement etc. other.”

Andy M.

“its easy to import and export your videos or project and the special effects are very effective and cinematic style professional looking to change scenes enhancing the viewers experience.”

Andy M.

Pros

“It is a powerful and reliable tool for both recording and live streaming, offering high-quality output and extensive customization options. While the initial setup can be a bit complex, once configured properly, it runs smoothly and provides professional-level results.”

Don M.

Asst. Manager

“I love that it's easy to integrate the platforms I'm going to use to stream, it's easy to update stream information (stream information dock), it's really easy to record and use it as a studio software for podcasting, it seems pretty safe when it comes to security, it's pretty quick and reliable and allows me to add as many features to my scenes as I see fit.”

Yoshio L.

Independant streamer

“What I absolutely love about OBS Studio is that it is a open-source software which is completely FREE to use. And, the features and services it offers, I bet it can beat any other premium paid softwares in the market.”

Swagat G.

Youtube Video Creator

Cons

“Only have a few problems with VideoPad was the reverse video clip facility which didn't work until you exported your video file so I didn't think it was working but I used this feature recently and it did work within the VideoPad review.”

Andy M.

“It does not boast an extensive array of animations, and some are bit cheesy.”

Len L.

Editor

“I would open previously edited videos later in Videopad, and they would lag, the video would inexplicably be in black and white, and it would be impossible to continue to edit given the quality of the video.”

Kayla Q.

CEO

Cons

“It's not as intuitive and I don't remember it having like a tutorial run through of the program.”

Yoshio L.

Independant streamer

“OBS pushes out extremely frequent updates. While this may seem helpful, it's annoying to have to constantly update the software.”

Void D.

Freelance Artist

“Docks are not configurable as desired in size and location”
