### Advanced post-production

VSDC Motion Tracking VSDC color correction: hue & saturation curve settings

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[7] 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
* The Scopes window, including the Vectorscope, allows to monitor the results of the color correction in real-time mode.

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
Multicam editing \- this feature allows for switching between different camera angles and makes it easy to capture the perfect shot
Chroma Key [8] – 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
* 8 transformation effects including Zoom, Mirror, Distort, and Resample
* OpenGL effects: Lens flare, Bokeh glare, and Raindrops
* A set of transition effects including transparency adjustment (Paper burn, Flow transformation, Shattered glass, Page turn and more)
* Bezier curve animation editing
* Dynamic TV effects (Aging TV, Broken TV, Noise TV)
* VirtualDub plugins support

AI Art Generator \- the feature that allows for producing artistic interpretations of images and videos.
Face Landmarks \- the AI-powered tool that allows for placing a stylized motion-tracked mask on a face of a person in the video.
Charts and diagrams \- 3D charts including Pie, Radar, Bar, Spline, Step Line, Spline area, Funnel, Pyramid, etc. for optimized display of any complex data.
360-degree and 3D video editing
Color keyframes – the feature that allows for assigning colors to created keyframes when working with effects with a color parameter. The algorithm will calculate the linear color gradient between assigned colors and create a nice color animation.
Proxy file support \- the feature that allows for creating lightweight media copies of high-resolution videos to improve the software performance and ensure smoother 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.
