Keep VN Video Editor, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace VN Video Editor you would be making a video editor. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 3.0 is higher than 120 of the 133 other screen recording and video tools we grade.
What you could make
- Templates: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A video editor.
- A voice model, which you can rent by the minute but not make.
- Speech turned into text you can trust.
- Apps for macOS, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. VN Video Editor’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
