Reviews of Filmora
Alternatives Considered:
This is a user friendly, easy to use and professional video editor
Comments: Overall, I am using this software for the last 2 years and I am very happy. I have also recommended this software to many of my friends and I highly recommend it to others too.
Pros:
The best part about this tool is that it is very user-friendly and its UI is great. This is one of the best video editing softwares I've used and it is relatively cheap for professional-grade software. You can add stock footage from its media library and also add background to your green screen videos. You can easily add video effects and also modify them. You can also do advanced editing with a lot of effects, transitions, colors, and titles. Adding video footage, extracting and adding audio files, and cutting and changing the positions of video clips are very easy. I love how it has a voice-over feature, allowing you to add a voice to your other videos and add music to your videos. It allows you to export your videos in multiple video formats with lots of customization settings. It also allows you to export your videos directly to your social media platforms like Youtube. The speed of exporting videos is also quite fast.
Cons:
There is nothing that I dislike about this software.
Simple but Powerful Editing Software
Comments: 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.
Easy Editing Tool for Beginners to Pro
Comments: It's an easy tool, anyone can do editing like a pro. I learned to edit videos using Filmora and I upgraded my editing skills. I recommended many of my friends to use Filmora.
Pros:
FIimora is an easy and free tool to edit videos. I have used it multiple times to make beautiful memories.
Cons:
When we delete the videos or pictures in the workspace projects or move the data from the folder we implemented for the projects, the outcome project will have missing space, and we can't maintain the videos in the same folder in the long run.
Terrible video quality when posting to Youtube. Free trial is BS. Don't give your credit card.
Comments: I was not happy with the results when posting my video to YouTube from the desktop app, so I asked for a refund. This was 2 days after my purchase. I explained my issues, but they refused to refund my money. Here's the response from the agent, [sensitive content hidden]: "We guess maybe there is some misunderstanding, the 7-day trial is only for Filmora Creative Assets, it does not include the Filmora subscription. So when you selected to buy, you were charged for Filmora itself immediately. Hope this clarifies your confusion. - Let's get back to your concerns. Regarding your refund request for the Filmora order, I am sorry to tell you that your case falls outside the refund scope because it belongs to personal reasons according to our refund policy (https://www.wondershare.com/refund-policy.html). Seek your kind understanding. I can sense you may feel a little disappointed. But I do believe Filmora would meet most of your needs for video editing. We highly recommend you try and use it more. If you need any technical support, just reach back to us. We will help you out as soon as we can." Unbelievable!
Pros:
The UI was okay. I was able to import a video from my phone and edit it.
Cons:
The video quality when uploaded to Youtube was terrible. I got better results just posting directly to Youtube from my iPhone. My biggest complaint is the company itself. They will not issue refunds for this product even within the 7-day trial period. See the support agent's comments below.
Alternatives Considered:
Filmora easy to use video editing tool.
Comments: Wondershare Filmora is a quality video editing software. We've used Filmora AI to generate videos that's been uploaded to Facebook and YouTube without any copyright infringement. Affordable. Good for content creators, marketers and business promotion.
Pros:
Value for Money. Customer support. Lightweight. Many effects and filters. Use AI to generate videos and sound track or audio. Wondershare Filmora allows you to select any voice and gender for your video creation. Can be used for general video creation purpose.
Cons:
Video exported always have large size. You need to use a video compressor to compress the output which is common with video editors. Some effects are not perfect to use on mobile phones.
