VideoSpirit Pro is a full-featured application that gives users numerous tools for editing videos. Although the program's design could stand to be a bit more intuitive, this program is straightforward in operation and is suitable for users of all experience levels.
The program's interface is plain and uncluttered, but it doesn't provide much in the way of direction for the first-time user. A small video player allows users to view the files that they're working with, and a drop-down menu allows users to select an output format for the completed project and view the characteristics of the selected format.
The meat of the interface is the series of five vertically arranged timelines, representing video, video overlay, title, audio, and voice tracks. Each of these is identified by a small icon, and we wish that there were mouse-over tool-tips that described what they are; we had to consult the built-in Help file. Editing videos is simply a matter of opening the desired files and arranging them in the appropriate positions on the timelines, dragging and dropping them into the desired positions.
The program has several other useful features, including tools that let users join, split, and convert video files and extract images from video footage. Overall, although the interface could be more intuitive and the Help file could be a little more detailed, we found VideoSpirit Pro to be pretty easy to figure out, and its many features make it a great choice for video editing.
