Unreliable Features, Poor Usability, and Inadequate Customer Support

In my opinion, it's basically a scam, there is no free trial, and now I know why. I purchased the Filmora along with an additional text-to-speech conversion feature which they advertise, which not only failed to work as expected, but also had such glaring usability issues that it was clear no reasonable user could expect it to function properly. I submitted a ticket, and was initially told to expect a response within 24 hours. Its been over 5 days, which caused delays for my time-sensitive project. We have since moved onto a different service. Despite my numerous attempts to explain the situation and request a refund, they said they would only provide a refund after their engineers have said it's something they cannot fix (who knows when that will be). Eventually, I had no choice but to dispute the charge. You have been warned...

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.

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.

I like that Filmora is nicely constructed with customized templates and one can use it in response to one's desire. It's a tremendously straightforward, a form of drag and drops video enhancing service. The interface is very easy to make use of. Generally, the templates aren't simply sufficient to make movies in the way which you envision so extra templates are required. However, the expertise is likely one of the finest.

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.

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[.]

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.

Filmora is a simple but powerful editor. And obviously it is intended for an audience that either does not know how to edit or does not want to be wasting a lot of time doing it. Without a doubt, editing is going to become one of your favorite tasks thanks to Filmora. Do not hesitate--it is the best editor if you are looking for quality, price, and investing as little time as possible editing to get videos with a professional result.

I went from a total beginner to having people think I have been doing this for years. So I think this is very well suited for any home videos or people wanting to make YouTube videos.

It's just a great all around video editor for someone who's just trying to put together a simple video and make it look polished. It was a perfect step up from iMovie and provides TONS of bells and whistles but makes them easily accessible. It's simple to navigate and they provide effects and overlays that you can easily drop into your video.

I'm not sure about how well it does for much bigger projects (feature length movies, etc) vs DaVinci and Premiere, but for 1-15 minute tutorials, it's pretty great.

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 is great for editing short videos and creating short video ads. Filmora is great when you need a little more features than the old Windows Movie Maker. But the process of importing (paid) templates from the library is cumbersome, the software is switching between local and online installation. You have to login every time you use Filmore. This could be improved a little in my opinion.

Filmora works perfectly for our needs. I have to create video presentations for 3 of our awards ceremonies outlining the shortlist and then announcing the winner. Filmora is a great cost-effective, easy to use software that is great for an editing novice like myself. There are lots of preset features that make it easy to use.

It handles Nvidia Shadowplay videos with ease where some other editing tools struggle with those video formats. If you want fancy pre-made transition and effects you get a much wider variety with Filmora than with almost all other video editing tools.

Filmora is great for a beginner and is easy to use. I found the interface very intuitive and was exporting my first video in about 30 minutes. I would recommend this to people who are new to video editing and don't need the capabilities and features of a professional package such as Adobe Premier. Although Wondershare has recently released a Filmora Pro version I have not tried it yet.

In our experience, Filmora is great for beginners who need some advanced functionality for video editing, but who are not planning to focus on it or do anything too extreme. It is similar to Movie Maker, the free software provided by Windows, in how it is intuitive and easy for beginners, but it allows you to do much more.
