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.

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.

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.

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 youtube tutorials, and Filmora is the one video editor that basically works for me.

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.

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.

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.

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: it has multi-track editing, advanced color correction, scene stabilization, and HDR compatibility in version 10.

OpenShot is one of the best totally free online video editors. It is an open-source software that supports many types of audio, video, and image formats. It allows you to create image overlays, use 3D titles and animations, and have an accurate timeline. If you like to use video effects, this free program will be ideal for you--it has brightness, color and transitions adjustments, among many other effects.

Think of Filmora as the sweet spot between iMovie and one of the bigger editing software like Final Cut or Adobe Premiere. If you're just putting together videos or you have a YouTube channel and need a simple way to edit videos and add some bells and whistles, this is for you. It's easy to navigate like iMovie but it adds so much more options and effects that can easily overlay on top of the video.

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.

Filmora is great for quick video edits and is quick to load and operate on lower-end PC. It lacks some of the more advanced features, but for some of the training and promotional videos, these are not needed. Filmora is easy to learn for any type of user, it doesn't require taking a training course or reading a lot of tutorials. Overall Filmora is great if you use it for the correct purpose.

From what I remember, Final Cut seemed quite expensive and therefore used it on a free trial. The Apple Macs in the office aren't particularly new and didn't cope very well with the software. I can easily and quickly use Filmora on my Windows PC and also when remoting in from home.

Filmora has a better effects, transition option pack than other services and it is less than half the price of Camtasia. However, it is limited to 2 video tracks only where Avid One which is free allows 4 video tracks. Camtasia has better layered video on top of video features, but Filmora is faster at cutting/trimming video than Camtasia if you want to segment out or slice out portions of videos it can be done in less steps. Often I start working on a video with Filmora and finish it up in Camtasia or Avid One. Filmora effects pack are its biggest selling point and it's awesome that they come out with new ones every month.

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 adding titles and transitions seemed much more complicated. These were no problem once I tried 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 someone who wants a good, professional video but does not want to invest lots of time into getting a professional video, Filmora was the best that we tried.
