NCH VideoPad Review

A product by NCH Software

Overview

VideoPad comes with a large number of options in an interface that looks overwhelming at the beginning, but you will get used with it pretty soon. You can use drag and drop to add video files into the interface, add video to timeline, apply effects, record audio or add your own files, add transitions (fade, shape, reveal, 3D ..) and even audio effects.

You can export the video to any format or use a built-in one for Youtube, Facebook etc; also, you can burn it directly onto a DVD/Blu-ray.
