VLC Media Creator : Criticism
All Mac comes with iMovie. iMovie is a paid software and part of iLife but it is actually installed on any Mac for free by default. iMovie 11 works well and can compete with professional video editing softwares selling for hundreds to thousands of dollars.
On the Windows side, Microsoft has Windows Live Movie Maker. It is a Free software for Windows. Although Live Movie Maker is not so much feature rich, it is matter of fact; it is quite advanced software.
Remarkably, both iMovie and Windows Live Movie Maker comes with the feature to upload video directly to YouTube and other video sharing networks. In fact we have a guide to do the settings for Windows Live Movie Maker to enable uploading to Youtube with 2 step verification. So, actually it is difficult to predict how much success VLC Media Creator will get as to Edit the videos, the number of formats is limited for original source file and is in users’ control.
