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.

Pros
  • It's the perfect editing software for news programs with easy voice overs and fast editing and rendering time.
  • Very light program runs almost on any PC! It can handle almost all today's available codecs and video formats along with any kind of graphics, sounds, and other media.
  • A real multimedia editor!
  • Fastest software camera stabilization I have seen so far with excellent results!
  • Fastest and most convenient multi-camera production editing ever!

  • 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.

Cons
  • I would like to see some improvement with keys effects, and specifically Chroma Keys and Masks.
  • Adjustment layers like Adobe Premiere would be a nice feature too.
  • EDIUS of course has adjustment layers as filters, but it would be most convenient to have separate adjustment layers on the timeline.

  • Filmora needs to improve the motion tracking feature.
  • Filmora needs to improve the green screen feature to make smoother removing of background.
  • Filmora needs to improve the editing feature that can allow user to manipulate more the texts, shapes and other elements.

Filmora is an all rounder video editing software. Besides editing videos, you can generate videos, images, and music! So, even if you are not shooting any videos on your own, you can create highly engaging explainer videos, demo videos, or any kind of information videos. Filmora is powerfully useful to content creators, video editors, podcasters, or even for enthusiasts!

I'm giving this a ten because I haven't needed the support in any way, however, I've gotten correspondence from them letting me know that they are available if needed. I've seen reviews saying the support is lacking but those were years ago. I'm assuming they've figured everything out by now.

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.

Return on Investment
  • It's value for money index is excellent.
  • We received back our investment more or less after couple of weeks of using that internally and stopped outsourcing editing.

  • I have saved a lot of money and time by not outsourcing the work to the videographer
  • I have started posting more on social media by repurposing the long videos using Filmora's "Smart Short Clips" feature
  • Now, any idea can be quickly converted into video using Filmora's "An Idea To Video" feature. It is just like Google's "Veo 2"
