    "Finds the happy medium between simple interface & exhaustive features"

    Posted 2021-08-10

    Pros: This program is loaded with lots of tools and is one of the snappier free video editors. This is a great iMovie alternative for Windows. The only things locked behind a paywall are additional VFX and audio clips, but you can import your own.

    Cons: I would like to see a discounted purchase for some of the VFX packs if bought as a bundle. The pricing for each one seems high. I would like to see the interface become even smoother.

    Overall: This is a fantastic alternative for iMovie, lots of features, and despite the high price of add-ons, nothing critical is held back in the free version of the program.
