I’ve spent hours going through annoyance of having to use a website that put their sneaky little watermark on my videos, but you just made me realize I can add pictures in the editor. Thank you.

I am a 75 year old looking for software....been watching YouTube. You have totally cleared it up for me, and spoke so clearly and helped me to understand. Most of these talk so fast and don't make it clear. Thank you so much...will certainly be watching so many more.

I have been struggling mightily for two days to edit my first video, trying different software, very discouraging. Your step-by-step explanation was JUST what I needed. And so simple! Many thanks.

[bradleyhatton]

So clear and understandable for old timers like me, you tell us exactly what we would want to know. Thanks mate

I am a total newbie to Windows 10 video editing. . You, Kevin Stratvert, should be very proud of your talent as a YouTube presenter. Your 1.13M subscribers (+ one more today!) are a testament to that. At 84 years of age, it takes me a bit longer to cotton on to some of the tricks to using it but I have plenty of time on my hands to practice. Thoroughly recommended.

[cheriesachiel]

Again Kevin, you've taught me so much! This is my first introduction to using a video application, and now I'm excited to get out there, record, and have some fun! Keep up the great work; we all value your expertise and easy-to-follow teachings!

[shebb.]

i love how i spent hours trying to find editing software when its literally right there with no water mark bruh....

[Atinkstink]

I watched your OBS tutorial, and I knew you had some videos on editing, and when I realized that windows 10 COMES WITH VIDEO EDITOR, I just loved it, so thanks so much Kevin!!!

[chrispick]

Thank you as a 64 year old you have covered all that I need to know for some winter editing fun

As a Windows 10 video editor who uses the app all the time, this video was a really great comprehensive tutorial. One word of caution, if you plan to upload your videos to Youtube be sure to use non copyright music from youtube's library. I've had copyright issues using the background music form Windows 10 movie editor.
Thanks for the vid Kevin! Even I learned a few new things.

Thanks. My grandson, who lives many states away from me, has become quite a videographer and has shared much of his work with me. Now I want to make a few videos to share with him. This was a great introduction. I'm sure I'll never get up to his quality as he is quite artistic while I am not. But at least I should be able to make a few short videos to share some of my life with him as he has shared his life with me.

Im so upset Windows 10 video editor has been scrapped 😫 I loved it!!! I used it to start off my editing, then would transfer to a more complicated editor to add things. Does anyone know of similar? I used it all of the time! Kapwing seems basic but fiddly, Windows was perfect for making the bones of any of my projects, why change it, it 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I understood your english as a french speaker, thanks for speaking clearly

[dennisoleary]

Having 30 years of family VHS video tapes to convert to DVD, you just brought sanity to my efforts. Easy to follow and you hit all aspects of the editor. You are a rock star!
Thank you Kevin.

[donlauranewman]

Excellent. Good pace, no lulls, no repetition, comprehensive coverage.

[anitakalukalu]

I don't usually comment on video but thank you for this one literally spent days looking for the best video editor not realizing the qualities of this one right in front of me

[Roger.Whittingtonuk]

thank you sir, as a 60yr old and new to editing my videos with this i have just now created my first ever edited video, i did not even know this was on my pc many thanks respect

[dianecollins]

Thank you Kevin! You did a great job explaining how to use it. We have some volunteers who are just learning basic video editing and so this is a perfect video to share with them.

[heidigilsrud]

Thank you, Kevin. Your tutorial allowed me to finally finish my video. This is a new hobby of mine that I can actually use at my job, so your tutorial was so very helpful.

[babarkhattak]
