I use Filmora to make videos for my Interior Design projects and architectural projects. I also use Filmora to make real estate videos and Interior Design videos to sell my services to customers.
Filmora is a great Android and Windows app to create any videos you desire from professional videos to personal videos. The truth is you always achieve the results you want on the videos you make.

  • 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.
  • Add more filters
  • Add more themes
  • Add more fonts for the texts
Filmora is a great Android and Windows app to create any videos you desire for both professional use and personal use.
Filmora is particularly a great app for Interior designers, architects, real estate agents and business owners because you can create and improve any videos you desire with the app and show them to customers.
  • video editing features
  • Themes
  • Filters, effects and transitions.
  • The possibility to record the screen of your computer.
  • The possibility to add audio to any recordings or videos.
  • It has increased the number of viewers of the videos.
  • I had positive feedback from viewers for the videos I had made.
  • I can easily create professional looking videos for business purposes.
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, transitions, themes and filters you dont find at Adobe Premiere Pro.

Used Filmora to see if it was adequate enough for the training videos we want to make for internal staff. It was not. Features that should come standard were an upsell, and the limited selection of features on their standalone version were neutered compared to tools like Camtasia. Plus, the inability to record screen & cam video at the same time and have them as separately-editable tracks is beyond me.

Tried cancelling before my license renewed, and apparently it didn't take - as the charge came anyway. Once the charge was made, their policy specifically states that they will not reimburse you, even if it's clear you don't use the product. This, in 2022? No wonder SaaS like these are dying.
  • Really oversimple video editing.
  • Decent UI with lots of pay-to-use features built into the pro tool you already paid for.
  • Abysmal cancellation policy.
  • Prominent features missing without extra subscriptions.
  • Simplistic screen grab features that free products already do better at.
It's been a headache trying to keep up with all the things they charge you for that would otherwise just be included in another, cheaper tool. For example, you can get a month of the entire Adobe Premiere suite for the same price as just Filmora/Wondershare's effects library. What a joke.
  • Video editing.
  • Screen grabbing.
  • Video exporting.
  • Wasted my money.
  • Horrible to cancel.
  • Lost to a better product anyway.
An incredibly more powerful tool. More costly up front, but full-suite, no nickel-and-dime business strategy, and no nonsense or issues. Records video and screengrabs simultaneously, but adds them as separate tracks to edit individually. Pleasurable experience, and simple enough for many to learn in just a day. Heads and tails above Filmora's lackluster offering.

With the introduction of fantastic technology such as mobile phones, tablets, and handy cameras, creating classroom movies has become much easier. But it's not only the convenience with which video projects may be created that is gaining popularity; it's the benefits that such projects can provide to students in the classroom that make this concept so appealing. Making movies with students is not only a fun method to get them involved in the classroom, but it also helps them enhance their learning and retention skills.
  • Beautiful effects
  • Can enhance quality of video
  • Can export/import files easily
  • Watermarkings
  • Proxy set up
  • Compatibility of videos importing
In the free trial version, all functionalities are available. However, the biggest drawback of using the free trial edition is the large Filmora watermark on the movie. As a result, you can't truly use it. Also no storyboard editing option. Some of the video format are not compatible or compatible but it makes laggy.
  • Split Screen
  • Advanced Text Editing
  • 4K Resolution Editing Support
  • Create Backgrounds Using Chroma Key (Green Screen)
  • ROI
  • Big icome
  • High quality video
  • Negative impacts is need more time in exporting video
Wondershare The best video editing program is Filmora. If you're new to video editing and want to make new videos for your Youtube channel or for promotional purposes, this should be your first choice. In comparison to other expensive video editors, the pricing is also very good. Filmora includes all the tools you need to make excellent videos.
PowerDirector, Movie Maker Online (moviemakeronline.com), Movavi Video Editor Plus
Yes
I enjoy PowerDirector's user interface, but it's a little hefty; it can work on a low-end processor with 4GB of RAM, but only with difficulty. Another thing to keep in mind is that installing and rendering on a low-end machine can take a long time. PowerDirector is a good mid-range video editor with a fair price when compared to advanced video editing software, but it's not perfect for beginners or those who only require basic editing features.

I've been using Filmora for my video editing for almost 5 years now. It is used for editing Youtube channel videos, video advertisements as well as social media videos. Filmora strikes the perfect balance of features and ease of use and is a good choice for most video editing professionals as well as novices. Filmora offers lots of tutorials and the learning curve is much shorter than more advanced video editing software options.
  • Perfect balance of features and ease of use, most people can use it after a few hours of using the software
  • Filmora has lots of great video tutorials to take advantage of all the features it offers
  • The timeline editor is easy to use and offers great features such as audio detachment and green screen capability
  • Lots of presets and add-on filters available
  • Sometimes they roll out new versions before properly testing them, which leads to bugs, lag and a lesser user experience from previous versions. I usually choose to wait to upgrade.
  • It would be nice if they added more options to improve audio quality, the current options may be too basic for some users
  • Filmora can get laggy sometimes when editing several video tracks
  • They should add more creative options for headings & titles, most of what they have are pretty bland
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[.]
  • Ease of use and speed in creating quality videos
  • The price is very cost effective for multiple licenses
  • Customer support has been very good in my experience
  • We save dozens of hours a month on video editing so the ROI was immediate
  • With Filmora, we are able to train new staff quickly on how to use the software
  • Fimora has made video editing more fun and creative for our marketing team
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.

I use Filmora to make my trumpet tutorials and video concerts for my pupils, bands and marching band I'm working with.
I find it really easy to use, easier than any other software I tried, very intuitive interface, plenty of presets and effects available at one click distance. As a musician/ music teacher, I appreciate the fact that while editing it's really easy to sync video to audio.
  • Easy to use, very intuitive interface.
  • Plenty of effects and presets. Really useful for less experienced people.
  • Very many online resources, tutorials, presets packs, effects...etc.
  • Very good and responsive support. In live chats always polite and professional.
  • Constantly updated. From program updates to weekly effects and presets additions.
  • Could have more audio effects options.
  • Having keyframes not only in the Pro version.
  • Login across the platform. As mentioned by others, while adding effects you have to login several times. An offline option could be useful.
Very well suited for tutorial videos, music videos, presentations, music split screen/ multi screen videos (depending on how many instruments you want to show at one time).
I made a video for a marching band (17 people), each filmed and recorded separately (due to social distancing regulations) and was a bit challenging to show them all at the same time. Filmora has split screen presets up to 6 screens.
  • Filmora gave us an easy way to get more active on social media platforms.
  • Motivated my music pupils to practice, so they get featured in the music videos.
  • Collaborating with people from other towns or countries got easier.
I tried iMovie on iPad, Adobe Premiere and the default video program that came with my Asus laptop. iMovie is easy to use, good quality output but very little options, Premiere had very hard to use/ understand interface and the default Asus program had catastrophic quality, especially for audio. So far Filmora seems to be the best choice for me.
Very responsive, very polite and professional. Usually trying really hard to assist you with your issues, going the extra mile just to get job done.
Been on chat with the support team for almost a month to solve an issue that turned out to be a fault of my computer, every day got 2 or 3 suggestions to fix, updates, workarounds...
