CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A Superb video editing software" November 21, 2021 5.0 The overall experience is great, I use Filmora from time to time when I need to render a quick video, and the software has never failed me, it's always possible to make videos in a way I envisioned them. Pros Filmora is a really affordable yet professional video editing software. It has a lot of features that can only be found in much more expensive editing software. The UI is really intuitive and easy to grasp. I've had little knowledge of video editing beforehand, but Filmora has made it really easy for me to learn it. Furthermore, it is constantly getting new updates that include more and more features, which is great. There is a huge variety of music and special effect to choose from, with them you can easily create great videos. Cons For some reason the software tends to log me out from time to time, it can get annoying when I'm done with editing a video and upon clicking the button to render it I get a message that I cannot render it since I don't have the premium version (I do, I just have to login back). Moreover, sometimes it might get difficult to grab exactly what you want on the editing timeline, and it can get really annoying.

Every new edition comes with a ton of features. Pros Ease of use is the best feature of filmora. It is a matter of drag and drop which is simple even for the newbies. Without a doubt, I will recommend filmora to anyone who is just getting started with video editing. Another feature that really fascinated me about filmora is the ton of resources that come with it i.e stock music, animated elements , impressive transitions among others. Cons The only problem that I have been experiencing with filmora is speed when it is rendering a project.

Freelancer Online Media Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Video editing/Creating software for everyone" June 4, 2020 4.0 so overall when compared to the price you pay, this software package is a great deal for everyone. Pros This software is one of the most easiest software that a person can use. It basically includes almost all the feature you need to edit a video. The best thing is, you do not need to have any sort of knowledge to use it. you will eventually figure out what to do. the platform is very user friendly. It also features a lot of things like chroma key and other effects that you need to create a professional video. It also come with those ever growing effect pack which make the video look amazing. I have been using filmora since I started my high school and I am still using this to create my videos. I think this is the best deal that you can for for this price. When compared to other video editors, this provides the user a good experience even for beginners. Cons There are plenty of things to be improved as well. The designing side is missing from this software. If I need to design or invent some graphic content, I don't think that I can do it within the software itself. and the other thing is, it takes a lot of time when saving a video. and there are some transitions which are too cartoony. I can only add 2 videos tracks. So i think this software will be better with more professional looking effects, transition and also with a designing tools which will make this software package complete. Review Source Dalmir A.

Pros Excluding the fact that I'm a Video Maker in the company, since 2016 I edit my videos for my YouTube channel with Filmora and the software and performance have already evolved a lot, it's good, it's easy and it's simple, beginners and experts at edition can use this software. Cons It's not all flowers, I'm against the fact that Filmora in full 2021 lacks resources, I was super happy when they added in the update ''make animation'' but still lack resources and need to put more resources for age above 18, it has some very childish templates, but it's nothing they can't improve.

Pros Most useful feature in Filmora are the effects and transitions. We also like the collection of free music that we can use in any videos. The new updated version of Filmora has improved a lot and we find it is the simplest and most easiest video editing software out there in the market which has all the required features. Cons Mostly the pricing is the major issue because everything Filmora provides in a free trial version, much more can ben done in alternative softwares which are free in the market. Review Source Response from Wondershare July 19, 2023 Thanks for your love of the effects and transitions built-in Filmora, and we are thrilled to hear that Filmora helps you edit videos in a simple and creative way. Regarding the price, we'd like to say we are always doing our best to improve it and have added many new features to Filmora, such as Motion Tracking, Animation Keyframing, Curve speed, etc. These features can give users a better and happier experience, and we believe that our service and product offer more value for your money. :) What's more, we are always providing a free trial version for new users to experience it first, just there would be a watermark on the exported videos.

Pros The timeline and effects are simple and key framing is key. Cons Mov files or effects layers from 3rd party doesn’t work or I can’t do it. Reason for choosing Filmora Seemed more intuitive Review Source MC Mohamed C. Lecturer Education Management Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "A Video Software with Multiple features for both Professionals and Beginners " April 23, 2023 4.0 Fimora will be your best choice you are looking for reels and short videos! Fimora's dashboard, though on free trial, offers extraordinary features, special effects and many functionalities to help mix audio, shift from one scenes to another. Yet, as a Filmora user, one should pay attention to the length of the video; it should be short so as not to experience lagging when exporting your projects. Pros Fimora remains one of the chief rivals in video making industrydue to the variety of features and functionalaties it makes at the disposal of both beginners and professionals. Though on a free trial, it provides a rich timeline with many buttons to grade colours, add special effects, mix audio and so many other features. It is best for those working on reels and short videos because of the hardware requirements. Cons It is not good for long videos due to the difficulty of exporting projects. Fimora is full of in-built features and thus it requires sturdy hardware features. One more, it is a pricey product that is useful for movie makers not free trial users, who will struggle with Filmora watermark. I recently switch to "Peech" and "Wisecut".

The program immediately and constantly began crashing. It is unusable. I tried to contact the customer service, but it is impossible via their webpage. I was forced to leave negative comments via their Facebook page to get any attention. They responded by asking for my email. They continued to give me the run-around via email instead of providing a refund. What was supposed to be a long weekend full of productivity has been reduced to wasted time and money due to Wondershare/Filmora. Overall, extremely horrible experience due to a bad product and horrible service! Pros Was supposed to be my chief video editing program. Layout looks good and the feature list is great. Cons Does not work. Immediately began crashing.feature list does not matter when it isn't usable.Customer service is impossible to contact.Company does not care about the customers and will only give you the run-around. Reason for choosing Filmora I chose Filmora over PowerDirector mainly due to price. This was a mistake. I will pay extra to switch to PowerDirector.

You do not need any experience to work with it as long as you have a good laptop with good rams , you are good to go . Looking forward to a long term collaboration from now on using my favorite software in the field . 6 month as a happy user and counting … Pros The software has many pros . Honestly since I got it recommended by one of the colleagues I stopped using other softwares that do the same task . This software is : -Easier to be used ( user friendly ) than other softwares . It is a perfect fit for people who are new to the world of video editing and montage . -Easy to edit or create a video from scratch with drag and dropping ( no complications here ) . And most important of all and the real highlight is that it has a rich library . ( effects as well as music and transitions ) that are really easy to use . -you simply do not need any other software integration to complete your task .It is a complete package , all what you need is there . -Since I started to create educational and motivational videos for the university training department , filmora became my number one choice without competition . Cons Everything is perfect about the software , Maybe , there is a room for improvement regarding how it runs smoothly on less than average laptops regarding capability . Though it is a piece of cake in the installation process , when I tried to work on my old laptop , I faced some issues in the rendering process , I t was somehow heavy on my laptop . As soon as I installed it on a better laptop regarding rams and capabilities , I faced no problems at all . May be this is the only Con I faced that needs improvement .

Consultant Online Media Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A video editing software that isn't overly complicated" May 14, 2021 4.0 Pros I really like the fact that Filmora is a video editing software that goes straight to the point. I might not necessarily all the bells and whistles of other video editing solutions but it does provide you with a relatively solid of features. You'll be able to edit your videos and add some pretty cool effects to them, even if you aren't that much of a video editing wizard. Plus, the platform's overall user interface and approach is quite clean and smooth: you can edit videos and tap into existing elements (effects, transitions, etc.) without having to learn every single thing about video editing. I have used other video editing software in the past and I know that wanting to keep things as intuitive as possible is something that, unfortunately, doesn't always happen with video editing solutions. Cons While Filmora lets you tap into video editing even if you don't have much of a video editing skillset. However, as someone who has used another (and more advanced) video editing tool, I have felt that, sometimes Filmora has been quite limiting in terms of what could be done with videos. It would say that Filmora's straightforward approach is a positive thing on the one side, but, at the same time, a limiting aspect on the other.

Pros is a powerful tool that's quick and easy to use, and its color correction gives a realistic rendering. Cons its video effects library needs to be improved, for example by adding more amazing effects,and also review its transitions library by improving transition times,if not filmora remains the best tool for one-click video editing Reason for choosing Filmora very easy to use and a professional tool with a range of features to help you work with precision Review Source Response from Wondershare September 21, 2023 Thanks for taking the time to write a comprehensive review about Filmora. If it is possible, would you please talk about more details regarding "adding more amazing effects and improving transition times"? You may throw out several examples shown on YouTube so that we can improve it in a more targeted manner. AS Aria S.

Pros Lightweight, ease of use. I never have other software that not really resource consuming in video editing. The rendering process is also very fast and the quality is good. Cons Online functionalities somehow are too much, people need to be given freedom about how to use this software and where to publish their works. Alternatives considered [Adobe Premiere Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/233456/Adobe-Premiere-Pro/) Reason for choosing Filmora Lower price Switched from [Pinnacle Studio](https://www.capterra.com/p/233263/Pinnacle-Studio/) Lighter weight in software size and resource requirements, faster performance. Review Source César C. Computer engineer Computer Hardware Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A video editor for any public" May 19, 2022 4.0 My experience with Filmora has been very satisfactory, I was looking for a video editor that was easy to use, that didn't use so many PC resources and that had a great rendering process, Filmora has all of that. I recommend Filmora to everyone who needs a video editor, you won't be disappointed. Pros Filmora is an exceptional video editor, it is very simple and intuitive to use, it does not have many complex tools, it has just the right ones. Filmora has a lovely and quite fluid interface, video editing is good, it can be done from video and audio cuts, effects and texts can be placed, and the process of importing and exporting clips is great and works fast. You can compress projects in a very customizable way, from adjusting the size of the video to changing the quality. Filmora is an excellent editing program, highly recommended. Cons I dislike that it doesn't have a much more developed text and image editor. Many times the program freezes and stops out of nowhere, but it doesn't happen very often, it only happened to me once. Switched from [Adobe Premiere Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/233456/Adobe-Premiere-Pro/)[Camtasia](https://www.capterra.com/p/203013/Camtasia/) Filmora is much simpler and easier to use. Review Source Christopher K. Senior Sales Manager Farming Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The Two Angles Of Filmora" September 9, 2021 3.0 Quick production of short videos (like YouTube shorts and TikTok videos) is achievable, even when I must add transitions and a couple other video enhancement features (thanks to the short learning curve regarding the basics). However, my frequency of using it has reduced drastically after I installed an alternative video editing software which is more efficient on my less powerful laptop, saving me the burden of buying a more powerful laptop. Pros Filmora is quite effortless to navigate and thus good enough for beginners. That is to say at least the basics of uploading, editing and exporting are straightforward enough for anyone to create a good enough video for YouTube and any other platform. Cons 1\. The 14-day trial run is too short for a beginner to appreciate all the features of Filmora. While it is easy to learn the basic video editing features, the advanced features requiring learning and applying to projects are too many and too demanding for a beginner to grasp, apply and appreciate within 14 days. 2. Filmora is too slow (drags) on less powerful computers. It is regrettable to realize that Filmora is not efficient enough on my 64 bit windows 10 laptop. That is a put off to a small upcoming YouTube creator. That is why I had to install an alternative video editing software good enough for my laptop. Review Source NP NDEREYIMANA P.

Pros i would recommend this software to any one who want an easy video editor with a high level of video editing features compared to other softwares which not only can be expensive but also not easy to use. A great thing about this software is that not only its inexpensive but has a lot of features, templates ,themes,effects,tools and titles which may be not available in different other softwares for free. This is a unique thing about this software,Producing a high quality video for almost nothing. I love it. Cons Well i would like this program to add more and more tools compared to other programs like adobe premier which could add more space to the users unlimited. Filmora should add something about audio quality improvement on making videos and also add some sound effects in it. The new upgraded version is so disappointing because it removed some features of the old one which were necessary like the video speed control. Nothing more to dislike about this Review Source Rishu R. video editor Entertainment Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A decent video editor" September 7, 2022 4.0 I like this app because I can do all of my editing works without use of any other software. It's light-weight and fully equiped with features. Pros There are variety of effects and transitions. It supports 4K editing too. It's better software for users like me who create simple infotainment/entertainment shorts and reels. Have all the neccessary features like exporting in different formats and different settings. Cons It should have more editing options for musics and sometimes the software stops working but it's very rare. Review Source TS Tarun S.

Since then I decided to investigate more about the app to edit some videos and it is one of the most complete apps you can find for video editing. Pros Its free version is very good although with fewer features than the paid version. It is still a very useful and intuitive tool for video editing. Cons The bad thing about the free version is that when editing videos the watermark appears (although it is understandable because it is free). Other than that it is a totally good and very complete app. Alternatives considered [Camtasia](https://www.capterra.com/p/203013/Camtasia/) Review Source Response from Wondershare May 23, 2023 Thanks for your love of Filmora.

Marketing Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Simple but Powerful Editing Software" January 5, 2024 5.0 Filmora is one of, if not THE best video editing tool I've ever used. It's got a lot of the same capabilities of powerhorses like Adobe Premiere, but in a MUCH easier-to-use package. It's also WAY more affordable than Premiere. I recommend Filmora to everyone I talk to about video editing! Pros Filmora is very powerful--has a lot of capabilities--but it's designed in such a way that (unlike Adobe Premiere) it feels very simple and easy to use. It continues to get more powerful with each version--the latest one has some great, helpful AI features, like a background removal, making it insanely easy to create some cool effects without even requiring a green screen. Also, I LOVE Filmora's youtube channel....they have o many great tutorials that show you step-by-step how to create some awesome effects, and they make it SO easy! Cons The only downsides I have for Filmora are: 1. Sometimes the short videos or GIFs I make are too large to upload to social media. I don't know why, since they're always very short and simple, and I believe I'm using the lower settings to export. 2. So many good things are hidden behind a paywall. I already purchased the software--it feels unfair to also expect me to pay a monthly fee just to have access to transitions and other components. Switched from [Adobe Premiere Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/233456/Adobe-Premiere-Pro/) Premiere was too clunky and everything was too time consuming.

" April 26, 2022 5.0 I’m pretty happy with Filmora. It gives me all I need to do a great editing job. I don’t need anything to fancy, so it is perfect, because is very easy to use. If you searching for a really professional video editing software, maybe Fimora isn’t for you, but it’s perfect to do basic editing and won’t disappoint you in quality. Pros The drag and drop function saves a lot of time. It have copyright- free sounds and music available. Exports to different formats. It has a bunch of presets and filters at your disposall. Cons It has a fully functional free version, but it has a watermark. I’d experienced some lagging, but only in the free version. Lacks on some more professional tools.
