Upgraded Text Conversion Tool

What you loved most about the previous update is now even better! Say goodbye to the hassle of closing and reopening the window of the text conversion tool if you don't see results. Take full advantage of the preview window, accessible in all tool modes!

We’re confident you’ll also appreciate the presets we’ve designed for the Free Shape, Curve Line and Text Blocks modes. They are ideal for creating text animations like Stroke Text, Text Reveals and more, with options to select the method and speed of text appearance. No need to manually adjust the settings — just choose the preset that works best for your text!

Additionally, you’ll find the template window, available for Free Shape and Text Blocks. It allows you to preview templates before applying them for Fade-in and Fade-out!

100+ Background Templates

What’s Christmas without greeting cards and beautiful holiday videos? Our new templates feature two collections of Christmas backgrounds: one free and one premium, both perfect for bringing holiday joy into life! Choose from designs with Christmas trees, gift wrap styles and many more. Be sure: it’s a wonderful opportunity to impress everyone with colorful posts on social media and beyond!

And when the holidays are over, you may find yourself in need of versatile backgrounds for presentations or other projects. We’ve got you covered with 10 collections of abstract animated templates.

Take a moment to explore these stunning designs and tell us—what do these abstract backgrounds evoke for you? After all, the beauty of abstraction lies in letting everyone see what they want to see.

Quick Access Toolbar

Now you have even more options to customize your workspace in VSDC! With the new Quick Access toolbar all root folders of the template window are just a click away, so you can keep your frequently used folders always at your fingertips.

What’s more, you can fully personalize the icons in this panel! Choose your favorite from our library or import your own icon. Want larger icons? You can do that too! Just right-click on the panel and activate the “Large icons” option.

Color Grading Enhancement

For those who love playing with colors in the Color Grading panel we have an exciting new feature! Now you can add the Color Grading effect directly to the timeline. This is the perfect way to quickly apply your custom color adjustments to multiple videos. Simply tweak the settings in the Color Grading panel, click the new button in the lower-left corner and add the effect to your current object on the timeline. From there you can easily copy and apply it to other files or save it in the template window to use for future editings!

Of course, we’ve taken care of bugs and fine-tuned minor issues, ensuring the program is now more stable and reliable than ever before! It’s fully prepared and eagerly awaits the exciting transformations we have in store for the coming year!

VSDC Team wishes you happy holidays filled with joy, boundless creativity and continued success in all your endeavors!
