The main downside of Avidemux is that you cant join videos together with different heights or widths. This wont matter if your footage are shot with the same smartphone or screen tool, but can be inconvenient if your media come from different sources.

One thing that's really nice about VSDC is that it's easy to shift the point at which your music track starts. So if you want it to start a few seconds after the video is running, you just have to click and drag the bar representing the audio file.

Once you've got your project set-up the way you like it, head over to the Export project tab where you can easily export it using a specific video format, as well as modify the resolution for specific screen sizes such as the PC, iPhone, Web, DVD, and so on.

VSDC lacks the in-app uploads for various web services so you'll have to do that the old fashioned way: through each website's manual upload system.
