How does it work?
When we first got our hands on this tool, the thing that stunned us was its easy-to-use GUI (Graphical User Interface). Feed is arguably the simplest video tool that we ever come across! But don’t let this simple GUI fool you. Although simple, VEED packs a mighty punch!
Look at its dashboard. It’s amazingly simple yet gives you a lot of features to play with. All you have here is a button for the Brand kit, setting, and Billing. We loved this clutter-free and easily navigable dashboard.
If you want to start a new project, there is a simple button on the top right. Click here & you will get an option to upload a video, add the existing video, or select from your Dropbox. Another fantastic feature here is the option to add the link to the YouTube video that you want to edit!
We tried this feature, and it was surprisingly efficient. All we had to do was place the copied link in the search bar and hit upload. The job is done!
The editing window has multiple features. You can change the background color, set the duration of the video, & remove audio.
Another feature that we loved about VEED is that you can either add a .srt file for Subtitle or manually add them. Above all, there is an Auto-Transcribe facility too.
Finally, if you would like to add some elements or extra text to the video, you can do it directly from the same window. This feature can prove extremely helpful for someone who wants to display some additional information on the video. Also, there is an option to add or remove audio if you wish to do so.
When it comes to managing multiple projects simultaneously, you can view all the Content on a single page. This feature can boost your working efficacy & help you focus on creating videos instead of managing Content.
In short, VEED is a comprehensive video-editing tool that easily outperforms its competitors.
What did we love about VEED?
Although Reed is loaded with multiple video editing features, the below-listed features take the cake.
1. Simple & Easy UI
As discussed, VEED is not the only video-editing tool available in the market. But it undoubtedly stands out due to its easily navigable UI. Developers often make the mistake of making the UI too cluttered.
But that’s not the case with VEED. The developers have kept the UI super simple, easily navigable, and clutter-free. Everything you need is available on the single drop-down menu. This makes the tool feather-light & easy for even a newbie.
2. Option to add Subtitle
We felt this is one of the most useful features that Veed has to offer. It allows you to auto-sync the subtitles based on audio, add them manually, or you can also upload a .srt file. This makes it a potent video-editing tool, as subtitles have become almost mandatory for all videos nowadays. So if you are looking for a tool that lets you add subtitles easily, Veed is the way to go.
3. Personalized Service
During our hands-on review, we were amazed at how fast these guys responded! We also came across thousands of positive reviews about them online about their customer services. They are available 24×7 to help you out wherever you are stuck. This is the best thing that you can expect from a video editing tool.
Moreover, as their team is small and tightly knitted, you get personalized service, no matter how small or complex your issue is.
4. Video compressors
VEED comes with a video compressor that can reduce the size of your videos by up to 50%.
VEED’s MP4 compressor is one of the best video compressors that you will find in the market. It can compress your videos without compromising on their quality. This way, you get to save a lot of space on your hard drive without sacrificing any detail from your videos.
VEED also comes with a GIF compressor that allows you to compress your animated GIFs and reduce their size by up to 50% without losing any quality. This is another great feature of this video editing tool, as it’s quite hard to find an app in the market that has this feature.
You can use this feature to share videos on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter without worrying about their size.
5. Free-plan
Unlike other software, Veed’s free Plan covers almost every feature you will ever need for simple video editing. During our hands-on review of Veed, we felt that the free Plan is good enough for beginners and even those who need more complex editing. So if you ask us, Veed is a great option if you are tight on budget but still want an effective editing tool.
Paid-plans
Although there are a lot of free features in the free Plan, the paid plans are mind-blowing!

What can be improved?
As this is a relatively new tool, it has a lot of potential for improvement. For example, the Subtitle feature is available with the paid Plan only. It would be great if this service is offered in the free Plan.
Second, the tool sometimes feels too basic. The developers can surely look into the matter and add some more features to make it an Enterprise-grade video editing tool. More transition effects, emojis, stickers & other features can be added too.
Although we didn’t face the issue, some users have complained about some bugs after recent updates. But that’s not a significant concern as almost all software has such bugs in the initial phase. So once they bring up some more updates, this issue can be eliminated.
The last thing that needs improvement is on-call support. Of course, their chat support is up to the mark, but talking with an expert over the phone gives a feeling of satisfaction to the customer. Moreover, it’s easy for customers to explain the issue over the phone instead of a text message. So we would definitely like to see this feature.
Other than these minor issues, we didn’t find any significant problems during our detailed VEED review.
Final Verdict
This tool is generating too much buzz in the market, and after a detailed analysis, we can indeed say the buzz is worth it! This tool gives an excellent start to beginners trying to learn video editing and small Businesses that need a powerful tool at affordable rates.
Features, like it’s Free-to-use service, affordable paid plans, facility to add subtitles & auto-transcribe facility, make it a perfect choice.
So we can confidently say that if you are looking for a tool that can help you make compelling videos without burning a hole in your pocket, you can surely go with it.
If you are skeptical at first, try their free service before you buy their paid plans. As mentioned, the free Plan has a lot of essential features that you can use.
