Gilisoft is an editing application in the most basic definition of the term.

The inability to preview the whole edit in the Joiner section seriously limits its usefulness, and would really restrict a budding editor to making a movie with minimal precision. The constant loading and saving of files is quite cumbersome. However, if you have even slightly more modest needs, then this app becomes a burden. With Gilisoft you can simply load your clip, trim it, add a basic effect, save it and you’re done in minutes.
I can see the appeal of such an app if your needs are very limited, and you don’t want to bother with the headache that a more traditional editing app can be. But this is nothing new: you could do this with Gilisoft the last time we looked at it. The Watermark section is interesting thanks of its ability to allow you to insert a video watermark to your clip, which could be why the developers have ‘improved’ this tool by adding ‘PIP’ (picture in picture) in its menu. The chosen clip can also be slowed down to a 10th of its normal speed or sped up to 4 times. You only have 14 effects to choose from for instance, in addition to the basics like Brightness, Contrast and Saturation, and those effects are generic, such as Mosaic, Haze, and Back and White. Once done, you can re-import the completed file to one of the other menus to make further changes should you want to.Įffects are easy to apply, but there’s few of them, and you can’t alter their parameters (Image credit: Gilisoft) EffectsĮverything is pretty straightforward, but also very limited. This process is definitely not for the meticulous editor. By default, they’re set to being the same as the clips you’re joining, but if the files are of different formats that section can be of benefit.Īlthough you can preview each of the clips you’ve added to Joiner individually, you cannot preview the whole sequence you’re creating, nor the transitions you’ve selected you must export the lot as a single file in order to do see what the end result looks like, which is far from convenient. Within Joiner is an Output Settings menu, where you can change your video’s parameters. You can set the duration of this transition and have a choice of hundreds of them… except that the vast majority merely have a number for a description, forcing you to select it to find out what they do - hardly user friendly how many will have the patience to check out over 250 of them? You’re able to add transitions in between your clips from the Joiner menu. It’s all remarkably basic and there’s not even a way to preview your assembled footage. You can sort your footage by name or date, or reorder them as you please using the large Up and Down buttons. Joiner appears to be the closest you have to actually putting footage together: you can select files and Gilisoft will add them, one after the other. This does mean however that you can make all the changes you need related to those menus, without having to save the file and reopen it each time you alter the clip in a different way. You access to that ‘enhanced’ interface when selecting other tools such as Rotate, Add/Remove Audio, PIP/Watermark, Video Enhancement, Subtitle/Text and Filter/Adjust Speed, so it’s a little odd that all these tools are advertised as different when they simply lead you to the same section of the interface. You can alter the font style and the text’s position on the screen though, so… there’s that, I guess…
It’s an unnecessary step, especially after decades of desktop video editing tools which allow you to simply type within the app, it’s a mystery why Gilisoft still works that way. You can’t simply add a subtitle for instance, you need to import the text from a file. However, you gain access to more features which you can use in on that same clip in one session: in addition to cutting, you can crop, add effects, a watermark, subtitles, and even music.īut these features feel both very complex and very limited.
