The downside of this feature is that it's not really built into the main part of the software.

Like most post stabilizing features, it's not perfect but does smooth out many of the wobbles and shakes in the footage.

Once you've applied the effect, you can export the clip in order to view the results.īased on some of the clips I've tested it on, the stabilizing feature does seem to work pretty well. Once you click on this feature, a new window will pop up allowing you to import a clip and apply stabilization. In the top left hand corner of the software screen, one of the options is Tools selecting this will reveal the video stabilization option. The great thing is that VSDC offers a very simple and straight forward way to stabilize your footage. Even if you're shooting with a smartphone, it's likely that the camera in your phone won't have the kind of stabilization available in a GoPro. For this reason, it's important to have some ability to stabilize footage in post. The IBIS features in most other cameras are currently not quite as good as the GoPro. Unfortunately, this isn't the case with every camera. This particular stabilization feature is so good that it's made gimbals for the camera, pretty much redundant. Cameras like the GoPro HERO8 for example, have incredible stabilization built into them, called Hypersmooth.

Most cameras that are being released now have some form of sensor stabilization built into them. Of course, if you do decide to upgrade to the pro version, there are some notable benefits which I'll be covering in this article. The free version is actually quite a comprehensive editor in its own right and for many people, this may be enough. There are no sloppy watermarks embedded into the video or limitations on how you can export your videos either. One of the great things about VSDC is that they offer a completely free version without any strings.
