too hardas a beginner for video star. This is a very hard app to use. if you don’t watch tutorials you would have no idea how to use this app. I tried watching some tutorials but still have no idea how this app works. The transitions in this maybe really good but it’s very hard. Please make it easier.

Tracking blur to 3D shapesThis app is amazing and it has so many features. However if you could do an update where you can add coloring effects or tracking blur to 3D shapes it would be awesome!
