I find that seeing waveforms when editing makes it a LOT easier when splitting and trimming clips because I have a visual cue of what’s going on in the background audio of my clips. The Pro version of VSDC is only 20 bucks (actually, click here to grab the Pro version for half price), and one of the features you get with that is the ability to SEE your audio waveforms. So in this second VSDC tutorial, I go over a few basic editing functions, plus some fun ones like fast forward and slow motion, and I also show you how to turn on waveforms if you have the Pro version. If you haven’t grabbed that yet, just enter your email into the box below and I’ll send the cheat sheet directly to your inbox!Ĭlick here to grab my vsdc cheat sheet How to Trim and Split Clips with VSDC Video Editor The cheat sheet gives you each step to get started.
