    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[.]

    From simple streaming to bigger events, OBS has been able to handle all of it with full confidence from us. Have never questioned if it was going to be unreliable in a specific situation, even with minimal training. Software identified the external input source easily and had no issues setting that up (Blackmagic Mini Recorder), and great for pulling in separate audio from the computer input.

    Pros
    Wondershare Technology
    • 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
    Wondershare Technology
    • 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.

    • OBS can be a little clunky sometimes, the lots of features can be a bit overwhelming
    • I can multitask with it, but can't run heavy software like Premiere alongside it
    • No way to make adjustments to file after it's done, have to use After Effects or Premiere for that

    Usability
    Wondershare Technology
    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!

    Very usable because it is free and has had a lot of people helping to suggest improvements and sponsors have allowed the product to grow in sophistication and suitability across a variety of situations and use needs. It is very logical to use once you get started, although the dashboard can seem intimidating at first.

    Support Rating
    Wondershare Technology
    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.

    For a free product, a range of support is available. There are plenty of ways to find out answers to questions, because there are probably thousands of people using the product who are willing to share what they have learned. It usually works as designed, so needs for support are limited.

    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.

    I have also used TinyTake by Mango Apps and I prefer OBS studio because the video quality results are better and OBS allows you to record an unlimited length of the video. OBS also lets you record an entire screen instead of manually having to draw your parameters, which can create oddly sizes videos if you miss by a few pixels.
