Overall Satisfaction with Filmora

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.
  • 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.

Would you buy Filmora again?

No

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.
