Adobe Presenter vs. Filmora

Adobe Presenter interface and its complete integration with Powerpoint eliminates the need for additional training or knowledge of Flash programming.While this saves time for the more sophisticated presenter it is less useful for day to day status presentations. There is no substitute for knowing your audience

It is a good program when you just start editing videos to get into it and have successful end products. If you have more requirements on a program you might need to be able to look into something more advanced. But it is totally sufficient to start out with when editing the first videos.

• It is very easy for faculty to use. Even those who have limited experience in creating online courses feel comfortable using Presenter.
• It allows our faculty to have students working in different areas at the same time so we are able to individualize our instruction to meet student needs.
• The quiz feature is fantastic to be able to quickly assess student learning to determine if they are ready to move forward.

• Edits videos very well.
• Records the screen of your computer perfectly. This is great if you are an architect because you can show on a video how you make your renderings and plans with Autocad, chief architect premier, Adobe photoshop or even revit.
• You can cut videos perfectly and add music to them easily.
• You can use several predesigned themes to create any video you desire.
• You can add as much text as you want to your videos
• There are several filters you can use to improve the images on the recordings.

• I feel it is a bit overpriced. That may be because of the Adobe name.
• Our team has experienced a few technical issues over time which sometimes limit our use of the software.
• Limited features available for our macOS users.

• Filmora needs to improve the motion tracking feature.
• Filmora needs to improve the green screen feature to make smoother removing of background.
• Filmora needs to improve the editing feature that can allow user to manipulate more the texts, shapes and other elements.

My company is pretty invested in the Adobe ecosystem and is unlikely to change that in the foreseeable future. Also, Adobe Presenter is a very valuable tool and, with the new subscription model and the pricing we have, a relatively modest expense now. It's also fairly easy to learn and use, so it is starting to spread beyond the sphere of the various Learning & Development departments.

For all of the reasons I mentioned earlier. Overall, it's quite easy to create basic presentations with and to publish output with, either to an Adobe server, an LMS, or, I think, as stand-alone module. But there are some areas for improvement and better in-product help and explanations would be helpful, as well.

Filmora is an all rounder video editing software. Besides editing videos, you can generate videos, images, and music! So, even if you are not shooting any videos on your own, you can create highly engaging explainer videos, demo videos, or any kind of information videos. Filmora is powerfully useful to content creators, video editors, podcasters, or even for enthusiasts!

It is easy to access since it is an added tool to the Powerpoint program. We have not had complaints from faculty members regarding not having it available when they need it.

Due to the aforementioned issues with Flash, it can be discouraging to get to the publishing stage and begin receiving error messages. Once we are able to move past that issue, we have great success with the performance of Adobe Presenter.

I think I pretty much answered this earlier....premium support is extremely expensive and online support can be difficult to navigate. Although, to be fair, when it comes to Presenter (compared to, say, Captivate), there isn't too frequent a need for support, since Presenter is a rather simple tool to use

I'm giving this a ten because I haven't needed the support in any way, however, I've gotten correspondence from them letting me know that they are available if needed. I've seen reviews saying the support is lacking but those were years ago. I'm assuming they've figured everything out by now.

To recap, it falls short in the quality of the deliverables compared to some others. That said, it is well within acceptable range for many learning environments and audiences. It also is significantly more flexible and affordable than anything else. If I had only one e-learning solution to pick, this would be the one. It is, in fact, my "Go to" solution most of the time..

Adobe Premiere Pro is the gold standard for video editing but it was overkill for our needs, which entails educational and advertising videos on Youtube and other social media platforms. The cost and learning curve to train staff made it unusable so we switched to Filmora where we now have several staff trained on how to use it. It's just more fun all around and easier to use than Premiere Pro.

The program still seems to rely heavily on Adobe Flash even though the online community is moving away from it. When publishing, users will experience error messages regarding Flash, which can make it difficult to complete your work.

• Been central system for learning about the Products within the Organization.
• Assessments can be taken multiple times and the questions remains the same, no changes on the pattern as well making it easy to copy from other attempts.
• Single platform for all the learning so didn't have to go around multiple places looking for answers.

• I have saved a lot of money and time by not outsourcing the work to the videographer
• I have started posting more on social media by repurposing the long videos using Filmora's "Smart Short Clips" feature
• Now, any idea can be quickly converted into video using Filmora's "An Idea To Video" feature. It is just like Google's "Veo 2"
