Chose Adobe Premiere Pro
Filmora is an excellent program. It has much smaller monthly fees than Adobe Premiere, but we still believe that the Adobe program offers better results in the design area. We also like to get carried away by the tranquility offered by using a program that is backed by a good …

Chose Filmora
Filmora is a good video editor with many of the capabilities of Adobe Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro. However, it was the more user-friendly of the three to people who have no experience in video editing. I cannot speak to what a professional video editor would say, but as …
Chose Filmora
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 …
Chose Filmora
I like both Filmora and Adobe Premiere Pro but it is worth noting that Filmora has some advantages over Adobe Premier pro. It makes as professional looking videos as Adobe premier pro but faster and it is much easier to use and straightforward. Filmora has many video effects, …
Chose Filmora
There is no comparison, except the price; you get what you pay for. Buy cheap crap and you get cheap crap. I think Filmora relies on the price of their product to seduce customers and then only offers a meager amount of product, which is actually very substandard.
Chose Filmora
I truly do not utilize Adobe Premiere Professional and DaVinci Resolve. However, the time when I'm beginning to study to video edit for a faculty challenge. I used the trial of Adobe and DaVinci however I actually don't get the way to use them even after watching loads of …
Chose Filmora
DaVinci, despite having a paid version, has a totally free version that allows us to make a good number of edits to our video. Of course, we will have to know the environment to control all the parameters it includes and have a powerful computer. Among some of its advantages: …
Chose Filmora
I had very limited time to spend with a Premiere Pro trial and didn't manage to accomplish much in that time. It is a very capable and professional program but leaves an amateur editor pretty bewildered. It was easy enough to add media and trim out unnecessary footage, but …

Research Team Insight
Published

Users of both Adobe Premiere Pro and Filmora have highlighted the versatility of these video editing software products in accomplishing professional and creative projects. Customers have been using Adobe Premiere Pro for more complex and sophisticated tasks due to its broad range of advanced features. They have often recommended it for filmmakers and professional video editors who require an extensive set of tools and control over the smallest details. On the other hand, Filmora users often appreciate its user-friendly interface and simplicity. They’ve commonly used it for creating personal vlogs, social media posts, and small-scale marketing videos.

Adobe Premiere Pro users have acknowledged its steep learning curve, often requiring hours of training and practice to master due to its in-depth and complex features. Conversely, Filmora customers frequently mention its ease of use and quick learning process, which makes it an accessible choice for beginners or those looking for a more straightforward editing platform.

Another notable difference lies in the suitability of each software for collaborative work. Adobe Premiere Pro users have pointed out the software’s cloud-based collaboration feature as a significant advantage. They’ve often utilized this feature for team-based projects, where multiple individuals need to work on a project simultaneously. In contrast, Filmora users haven’t expressed much use of the software in a collaborative environment, as it primarily caters to individual content creators and small-scale projects. On the whole, the choice between the two depends greatly on the user’s proficiency level and their specific project requirements.

I have actually recommended Adobe Premiere Pro to many people looking to get into the editing field. It is perfect for any type of video creation. It would not be very useful for someone who isn't serious about video editing and wants to just use something to cut out the beginning or ends of clips. It's too advanced for that and [maybe] confusing for someone not educated in the field.

Filmora is best for anyone who wants a medium-advanced video editing software but is not wanting to spend the time and money required to learn advanced editing software like Adobe Premier Pro. You can start making great looking videos in just a few hours with Filmora. Filmora is also a great option for professional video editors who want a lighter, faster and more fun program for editing smaller projects like videos for social media and video ads[.]

  • 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.

Cons
Adobe
  • Export times: I do a massive amount of exports with intensive graphics. They often need to be done quickly. If export times could be reduced by 90%, my life would improve drastically.
  • Importing errors: Certain video formats are not compatible, such as specific types of MP4s and MKV files. Greater flexibility would be wonderful.
  • End the subscription model. I'd gladly pay one flat fee once and be done with it.

  • The enhancing half is a bit bizarre, it is like you're driving in the UK, I am undecided why they selected to reverse clipping and reduce movies
  • More often than not I've to deal with not screwing up the video timeline however accidentally delete or enhance a clip.
  • I hope they modify it to a extra common enhancing mode.

Adobe Premiere Pro saves time and cost and it does a great job. When you see the output you know that you have made the right investment in the right application. Adobe does not require a lot of support to work good. There are thousands of videos in case you are looking for a particular thing to do during your work on your videos therefore it is well supported.

Everything I have tried to do was easy to figure out. The export and online store where you get additional titles, etc. have very minor issues, correct those and it's a solid 10.

It is a professional team that provides customer service at any time. I think that the team does not rest until they find a solution to your problem. I think this makes this company great because when a company offers a good service, and they treat you well, the customer always returns satisfied.

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.

DaVinci Resolve is a powerful editing and color-grading application, and the base version is free. However, I've found that with the Lumetri Color panel in Premiere, I really have no need for Resolve as it meets all of my needs. Additionally, I've found Resolve to be lacking in support for the broad range of file types that Premiere handles gracefully.

Filmora is easy enough to use after you get started. There are other programs with more functions but that depends on what you need it for. Just for cutting and small editing Filmora is really great and useful. Movavi has more functions, or at least it felt like it but therefore is more complicated to use.

Return on Investment
Adobe
  • Speed of workflow has increased- specially when coupled with keyboard shortcuts
  • Jobs have had a faster turnover rate which makes clients happy.
  • I have two Adobe accounts, one for work and one for personal use. Both of these accounts are paying for themselves through the work I can provide with the use of Premiere.
