VSDC provides tools for video editing and post-production, including video creation, slideshows, screen capture, and video conversion. Technical features include motion tracking, color correction (using tools such as a LUT Editor and RGB Curves), and a mask tool for selective filter application. Additional capabilities include multicam editing, chroma keying for green screens, and effects such as filters, transformations, OpenGL effects, and transitions. Projects can be burned to discs or uploaded to social media platforms. [7] [8]

Audio processing

The software includes audio processing features that allow users to split video into separate audio and video layers, edit audio as waveforms, apply effects like normalization and noise reduction, record voiceovers, and synchronize video effects with audio.
