  Who is Virtual Edit aimed at?

Virtual Edit is aimed at those who want to create home movies, short films, college projects or something for the web. As Virtual Edit has the essential features to create a professional looking video.

Virtual Edit has the power to perform frame accurate editing, which may easily be synchronised to music. Plus you have the ability to immediately view a series of edits to ensure precise artistic timing.

With the Effects Pre-Processor you can change colour balance, gamma, brightness and use various other effects similar to those used in cinema and TV in order to give a professional looking experience.

You can also add a variety of different transitions to move from one clip to the next. There is the universally accepted dissolve which basically fades between clips, and a collection of linear wipes which can be picked from presets, or specified from basic effect parameters.

Will there always be a free version available?

The full version of Virtual Edit is not actually Free. But to allow users to evaluate the software we offer an 'evaluation' release free of charge. However this is only available to non-profit making or non-commercial ventures.

The 'evaluation' version should be compatible with the full retail version, in that it will still be able to load and play projects, however, various image processing features will not be available.
