Filmora video editor - simple and works well for beginners

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am an NLP Coach and Trainer. I create videos for YouTube and social media. I also create reels and shorts. Earlier I had to shoot the video and send it to the videographer to edit it: to add intro and outro, add captions, add transitions, add B-roll, add images, and text with effects and animations. Besides this I needed to cut the video appropriately to create reels and shorts from the long video. The videographer would charge very high and besides that it was a time consuming method. Since Filmora is easy to use and now equipped with AI, life has become easy.

Pros

  • Add intro and outro
  • Add transitions and effects
  • Create short videos from a long video
  • Has a huge library of assets

Cons

  • The wlecome screen could be more beginner friendly
  • The timeline operations could be more beginner friendly
  • There is no facility to copy and apply the settings of one project to another.

Return on Investment

  • 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"

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Cons

  • Less glitz
  • Honest pricing
  • Free should mean free, not bait and switch
  • More variety
  • Longer videos

Most Important Features

  • It was the ease of downloading and the price but things have changed.

Return on Investment

  • Negative because I find the product difficult to use and the pricing too high.
