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.

The internet pages are difficult to navigate and the "free" items are impossible to download. I believe the company only puts those in as a come-on. I have been paying for this product for nearly two years and only twice used it as a resource because of the complexity of the site and the disingenuous marketing of their products. I purchased their initial video program and instead of offering free updates because of programming changes, they ask for outrageous amounts of money for them. I compare this company to GoDaddy which crowded its internet platform with a lot of eye candy junk and confusion. Stay away from this source and look for quality images and videos from Shutterstock or iStock.

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.

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.

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.

We used Filmora to cut videos for online classes and courses. We needed something easy to use, not to draining on our devices and able to fulfill our wish to add watermarks and some text in the video. We also needed to adjust the audio which Filmora provided as an option.

It helped to make my video clips unique with a solution that allows me to add audio, special effects, movie filters, titles in motion, and more. I am in the marketing industry and it's a challenge to attract new customers and build long-time relationships with the existing ones. As we all know, video is a great way to communicate openly and attract hundreds of customers. Filmora helped me to make compelling and professional videos with just a few clicks.

I decided that my summer goal was to become a better video editor so I bought Filmora Wondershare 9. I made a new video every week and I can honestly say that by the end of the summer I was very good at making and editing new videos. My videos are now fun to watch and I am constantly being asked by others to make another new and exciting video. It definitely took my videos from choppy and elementary to a more professional look. It is very easy to use and there are a ton of resources if you ever need help.

I'm an event planner and content creator. I create weekly tutorials to help strengthen my brand and teach others. I'm a one-man operation so it's just used for my YouTube channel. It allows easy flexibility from a beginner videographer that iMovie just couldn't handle.

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.

We use Filmora to make video edits for customer training and promotional videos. We have used it to add subtitles to some videos when we needed to send the video to an audience that does not understand English as well. We have not used the advertising videos and templates much that Filmora offers.

I am the only employee at the company who uses Filmora. I originally used a free trial of Final Cut but thought it was expensive to purchase and also the Macs we had at work were not new enough for it to work smoothly. I use the software to create videos for our business awards shortlist and winner announcement which takes place 3 times a year.

Filmora is used for video editing, splicing together multiple videos and leveraging effects like overlays and other video editing tools and features. Filmora has an ever growing effects pack and subscription service giving you access to more transitions, effect and overlays than most other services and their editing tool has one of the quickest snip/splice editing options compared to other tools. I use Filmora for video game play highlight videos and other product review videos from time to time.

Being in the IT industry, friends, family, and clients often come to me for help with technology other than computers. I purchased a DJI drone recently to make some videos for a friend's school as well as personal use. I quickly found that I end up with way more video than I needed after an hour or so of flying. I set out to find a simple way to edit those videos and came across Wondershare Filmora.

Filmora is used at my organization for basic video editing to pitch investors and show the progress of our systems. It is used primarily by myself and, at times, some of my coworkers. We typically do not need to do much actual editing of videos, but we sometimes need to splice videos, overlay audio, and add annotations to video. Nobody at my organization is an expert at video editing, and we were looking for the easiest to use software.
