Import options & interfaces

Videos, pictures and music can easily be imported into Filmora via the Drag & Drop function. This not only works from the hard disk or other data carriers, but also from connected devices in the form of smartphones or camcorders. Highly practical: Clips and pictures can be imported directly from social media platforms, such Facebook, into the video editing software. Filmora supports all common video formats and is compatible with MPG, MP4, MOV, MTS, FLV, WMV, AVI, MKV, VOB, among others. Additionally, the video editing software supports all major audio and image formats. The clear user interface has been completely translated into German and convinces with easy-to-understand file management. The imported media files are clearly sorted on the main screen and can easily be dragged onto the timeline. Alternatively, users can record a new video with Filmora. Thanks to the integrated recording tool, videos can be recorded from a connected webcam or from your desktop. Voice over recordings are also possible via a connected microphone. All media files can be individually sorted according to duration, creation date, type and name. Filtering according to the type of file is easily possible.

Video Editing

Filmora provides its users all the basic editing functions as well as some special features. The scope of functionality does not have to be intimidated by the competition, while the operation of the tools remains simple and clear. Basically, users can choose between simple and full mode. The program interface has a modern design with a very clear layout. All imported or recorded media can be found in the middle. Users also have access to a variety of editing functions such as texts, transitions, filters, overlays and other elements. Audio files can also be edited. Among other things, annoying noises can be erased with just a few clicks. In addition to all the common formats and resolutions, 4K videos can also be created and edited in Filmora. Thanks to the picture-by-picture preview, users can see how their video is being transformed by the effects at any time. Among other things, it is possible to play the clips forwards, backwards, faster and slower. For beginners, hobby filmmakers and experienced individuals, the available video editing features are more than sufficient. For professional purposes, however, Filmora is perhaps a little limited.

Effects

More than 300 (extendable) effects are included in Filmora. With numerous filters and overlays, users can improve and beautify their videos while letting their own creativity run wild. Dynamic range and white balance can be customized, and impressive Pan & Zoom effects can be added. The effects can be selected in the menu on the left side of the page and appear in the middle of the screen. With the Drag & Drop function, transitions, filters, overlays and other elements can be placed into or between the videos in the timeline. Adding texts and audio tracks is also not an issue. Thus, the software is suitable to create tutorials. In addition to the wide range of effects offered by this software, Filmora wins its users over with a variety of customization options. Among other things, users can adjust the duration and visibility of the effects. The best effects can easily be added to Favorites and thus found quickly for future use. This software not only allows your videos to be changed optically, but the quality can also be improved. The expanded video (3D Lut, Video Stabilization, Tilt Shift and Green Screen) and text editing (animation, color, size and font) leave nothing to be desired.

Export options

Videos can be exported at the touch of a button and used for many different purposes. Filmora supports a large variety of output formats such as MP4, AVI, WMV, MOV, MKV, 3GP, GIF and MP3. 4K videos can be saved in the formats MP4, MOV and MKV. If you have a burner, the software can create DVD discs, image files, DVD folders and ISO discs. Unfortunately, 360-degree videos, movies with surround-sound and DVDs cannot be created with Filmora. The clips can be played on numerous devices and platforms such as on iPhones, iPads, Android devices, gaming consoles and Apple TVs. Being able to directly export videos onto social media platforms, such as YouTube and Vimeo, is particularly convenient.

Features

Wondershare’s beginner-friendly video editing software is very modest and requires at least 4GB of memory and 2GB of storage on the hard drive. Ideally, for HD and UHD videos, an SSD hard drive and at least 8 GB of RAM should be installed. Filmora runs exclusively on a 64-bit operating system and must be registered online. In addition to a wide range of basic functions, the software has several innovative features such as importing and exporting videos onto social media platforms. Filmora works completely in English and can be used on Windows as well as Macintosh computers. For iOS and Android devices, there is an official app called Filmora Go.

Despite the large range of features and functions, the software is primarily aimed at beginners and is also suitable for advanced users. Users can find a lot of helpful information, instructions and manuals on the Wondershare website. In the event that a problem or question arises, customers can send a message to the support team via the contact form and will receive a response within 24 hours. Unfortunately, there are no further contact options at this time.

Plug Ins

The considerable range of functions offered by Filmora can even be further extended if desired. If the existing effects are not sufficient for the users, they are more than welcome to visit the Effects Store on the Wondershare website. There are over 3,000 additional effects available for users online. Many effect packages are even free of charge and can be downloaded immediately. An annual subscription for the Effect Store costs either € 99.99 per year or € 9.99 per month. Thanks to this store, users have unlimited access to a vast range of additional effects and regularly receive new content.

Summary

Filmora is an ambitious and extremely beginner-friendly video editing program created by the experienced software developer Wondershare. Interested users can simply download a demo version free of charge and see the numerous advantages for themselves. In addition to the €40 annual license fee, Filmora can be purchased permanently for only €60. For this affordable price, buyers receive an intuitive video editing software with all the fundamental editing features. These are skillfully expanded by additional features such as social media integration, video recording and audio editing. Media files that already exist can be imported from data carriers and external devices and lapsed with numerous effects, transitions and other elements. Even beginners can create impressive videos in a short period of time.
