I spent quite some time test-driving AVS Video Editor 8.0 on my Windows PC. It’s safe to say I understand what it takes to learn a completely new video editing tool from scratch, and what features you should expect from such software.

If you happen to come across my other posts at SoftwareHow, you should know that I also tried a list of entry-level video editors catered to newer users including PowerDirector, Corel VideoStudio, MAGIX Movie Studio, Nero Video, and Pinnacle Studio.

I taught myself a few professional-quality video editing programs like VEGAS Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Final Cut Pro (Mac). Video editing started out as a hobby for me and has since grown into something I do professionally to complement my writing. We welcome any feedback or explanation from AVS4YOU or Online Media Technologies Ltd, and we’d be happy to assist the best we can to fix these issues and make this video editing program better and more functional.

We don’t want to publish a review which might have a negative impact on the program’s reputation. Unfortunately, it seems the bugs and crashes are a universal issue, as you can from this crash report I got below (see screenshot). Before we publish this review, I also tested the program on my HP laptop (Windows 10, 64-bit), thinking the issues he experienced might not be replicated.

Aleco tested the trial version of AVS Video Editor 8.0 on his PC (Windows 8.1, 64-bit). However, the test results my teammate Aleco got are disappointing, and I’m very shocked, as I imagine you are. We thought it was a solid program worth taking a closer look at. Its initial version was released 17 years ago. AVS Video Editor is a Windows program that has a long track record. Side Note: I’m JP, the founder of SoftwareHow. The UI looks like it hasn’t had a makeover since the last millennium. What I Don’t Like: The program crashes constantly. There are a massive number of high-quality transitions. What I Like: The primary features are easy to find. Instead, consider Nero Video if you want the best bang for your buck, MAGIX Movie Studio if you want to make quality movies, or CyberLink PowerDirector if you want the easiest-to-use video editing program on the market. In good faith, I can’t recommend picking up a copy of this program to any of our readers. The program’s few bright spots are not unique to AVS and are easy to find in competing video editors, while downsides that aren’t bug-related are numerous and often inexcusable. Moving beyond the constant crashes, the fleeting functional moments in AVS were middling at best. These errors made the program almost entirely unusable and are reason enough for you to never purchase a copy. Frustratingly common bugs and crashes are what define AVS Video Editor 8.0 more than anything else.
