Motion tracking—the software allows for tracking the movement of any element in a video and attaching a title, an icon, an image, or a mask to the resulted trajectory. With this feature, users can apply a censorship mask to a moving object, and make a title follow the object it's attached to.
Color correction
Apart from the standard tools of automatic contrast, brightness, and temperature adjustment, VSDC offers color correction solutions:
* LUT editor that allows users to apply built-in and 3rd-party LUTs within VSDC, as well as create unique custom LUTs and export them for future use in 3-rd party editors
* RGB curve modifying the aspect of the whole video or image per selected color (red, green, blue or white).
* Lift, Gamma, Gain & Offset color wheels for primary color correction
* Hue Saturation curves defining color region per six colors and enables to modify the aspect of a video or an image based on the selected color.
* Gradient tool allowing for creating a gradual blend between multiple colors
* 20+ standard color adjustments
Mask tool – enables to apply one or several filters to a certain part of a video or an image
30+ blending modes
Movement and Time remapping – the objects on the scene can move following a chosen trajectory with the speed set by keyframes
Animation – illusion of motion and change of any static objects in the scene by means of the rapid display of a sequence of these objects
Chroma Key
– 3 modes for removing any color from the video (typically used for replacing green background): HSL, YUV, and "By Chroma Key mask"
Video effects:
* 15 filters including De-interlacing, Pixelize, De-logo and Blur

360-degree and 3D video editing
Audio processing
VSDC allows for splitting a video into audio and video layers and editing them as separate elements: as waveforms and video tracks.
Audio editing tools and effects:
* The Audio Spectrum tool animates a waveform to the rhythm of music or any other sounds.
* The built-in Voice over feature allows for recording voice and adding it to the footage.
* Audio amplitude effects (normalization, fading in and out, amplification) help to correct an imperfect soundtrack.
* Delay, time-stretch and reverse effects are tailored to give audio tracks relevant sounding: as if sung by a chorus, stretched in time or played backward.
* DeNoise tools (Median filter and Audio gate) for audio noise reduction.
* Simultaneous work with several audio tracks
* Edit the beat - a tool for synchronizing video effects and music beat automatically.
