No incentive was offered I had been using other video editing software and was finding their expensive upgrades overwhelming.

Overall, this video editing tool solves my big problem for rendering lots of reels. No lagging while previewing as they use proxy videos. I can easily render larger videos that is more than 10 mins faster. Anyone who is not much experienced with video editing can easily access and learn every feature and start in no time. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros I am using this to create Instagram reels and this tool consist of cool effects that will make my videos transition more beautiful and attractive with just one click. Also, I loved their auto proxy video replacement that need to be done manually in other native apps like adobe. I really liked the user interface that is straightforward and takes no time to learn it. #### Cons I agree that this tool is not fully fledged video editing software but still they need to provide cloud access or at least provide free and open media that anyone can use inside application itself instead of uploading from outside. And I will be happy to use it if they allow tabs or multiple windows to work on when one video is rendering, this reduces time for editing multiple videos. #### Reasons for switching to Filmora Adobe premiere pro have lots of features to edit high end videos but it consumes same amount of ram for small videos too that makes my small videos take same amount of time. To reduce that rendering time I have switched to Filmora. --- ### Filmora Video Editing Software: Create Pro-Level Videos with ease - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Timothy J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Graphic Design - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I love Filmora. It is the perfect fit for me. I make simple yet professional social media videos with it, and for me and most everyday people, that is enough. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros 1. Video editing - it allows you to edit videos by adding effects, transitions, and titles. 2. Audio editing - it lets you adjust audio levels and add background music for your video. 3. Motion graphics - this feature allows you to create custom animations with the help of the built-in templates and assets library. 4. 3D animation - this feature enables users to animate their videos by using 3D objects and backgrounds from the library or importing their own 3D models into Filmora's interface. #### Cons I only have one thing I am a bit disappointed about, and that is the price. They have a tier system like many companies for their templates, effects, audio library, etc; the free, standard, and premium options. I use it for free and always have. However, since the premium and standard have some top-shelf stuff, the cost can add up after a while, so I avoid it and do just fine. #### Reasons for switching to Filmora Filmora has mor advanced features and better controls. --- ### Make a great quality video with Filmora - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Mashudu Hilary M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I use Filmora for both home videos and content which I create professionally for my gigs when freelancing. There is plenty of functionality to choose from and the possibilities of what I can do with my videos are endless. Filmora has made video editing a breeze, I can do it myself and I don't have to break the bank while I'm at it. I have so much control with Filmora. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Almost every single tool that I need to make a quality video, I am sure to find on Filmora. To start with, I like how it is very easy to import media from the device to the software for editing. I am able to add any audio or image to my video and sync them perfectly. I can combine or split different videos and I love how I can fade in or fade out audio. There is a myriad of transitions, tittles and subtitles which I can customize by applying and changing fonts or colors and I can also animate the same. It offers a wide range of effects which I can preview before applying making it easy for me to pick just the right one. Furthermore, I can add a custom logo, add text and animation which makes it more exciting. I found that texts are customizable by the use of colour grading tools for perfect matching and this makes my videos look more fun. Lastly, there are many options under which I can file my project. #### Cons In as much as there are a lot of video/picture editing features, I found the audio editing features to be a bit limited. It is also a bit difficult to access media which is uploaded to the cloud. I would say Filmora is easy to use however in my case I had to watch a few tutorials before I could start editing. Nevertheless, I was able to grasp the concept. Lastly, I have encountered an issue where the software lags or crashes and in the process takes away precious work and time put into it. #### Reasons for switching to Filmora I can fine tune many things using Filmora compared to other software. --- ### Very usere friendly - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Paul M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Replied August 2023 --- ### Stay away from the company - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Curt H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Hardware - Company size: 5001-10000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered They are very unethical. They basically force you into an upgrade to be able to complete your edit and then when you ask for a refund they tell you they don't do refunds. I was working on an edit on V12, which is fine for the little work I do, and I kept getting messages to upgrade to v13. I have a "perpetual" License and they didn't say there was a charge for the upgrade so I clicked "Upgrade" HUGE mistake. Once you click that button you can't get out of it without paying the ransom. I will never buy from this company again and you shouldn't either. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros The product is average. Interface is not real intutitive. #### Cons There customer service is AWFUL. I tried to get a refund for V13, that I was basically forced into the upgrade. After being told I would be connected in 5 minutes, I finally was connected with someone who had heavy foreign accent after 20+ minutes. I explained my problem and that I would like a refund and she refused. #### Reasons for switching to Filmora The company is very close to being a scam. They are all about getting you to buy upgrades that you do not want. #### Vendor response Hi Curt, I understand that it is very important for users to get help timely when he/she has trouble using the product. We'll keep improving and bring a better experience for each user. Normally, we desperately hope to know the user's real thoughts when he/she requests a refund if there is no issue with the product itself. So that we can provide some suggestions or make further improvements in a targeted manner. This is the reason our support may explain more details regarding our refund policy according to your actual situation and didn't process a refund in the first place. Seek your kind understanding. Knowing you've already contacted us, you've already contacted us, could you please update the ticket number here? Your patience is highly appreciated!

It's expensive #### Vendor response Hi John. Thanks for your love of this software. I understand your confusion about our license policy, and we'd like to explain it in more detail and then assist you further. The current Filmora 12 is an amazing new version with AI-related features bringing the tool to a new level. For such versions to launch, it requires our company to invest huge efforts, time, and technicians in the research and development of software. That is why we specified in our license policy that users who have a perpetual license might be charged for a major upgrade. However, users who own a lifetime plan since Filmora9 or an older version can upgrade to the latest version for free. Or if ever you have any other inquiries or concerns, our lines are always open for you 24/7. You may also drop an email at customer_service@wondershare.com. It's our priority to continue providing top-notch service for you! Replied March 2023 --- ### Wasted My Time - Overall rating: 2/5 - Reviewer: Tracey V. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Fine Art - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for free trial - Reviewed: August 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered When I clicked on a site to download DaVinchi Resolve, it downloaded Filmora instead on their free version. I decided to try it out, because it was now downloaded anyway only to discover that at the end, it will add a watermark unless you buy. I have wasted so much time, and my fury at the company means I will never buy from them ever. I was considering it before I finished, but the fact that the free version is like this means that there are probably other hidden things in it that I haven't researched since I was tricked into using it in the first place. Don't use this product. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### Pros It was easy to learn, but it wasn't worth learning, so nothing. #### Cons It shouldn't have a fake free version. At the end, of editing your video once you've put in all the hard work, it will give you two options. Buy it or have a watermarked video that is unusable. And I do mean unusable. It was a full banner watermark. I wouldn't mind if it had told me at the beginning about it or if it were a small one in the corner, but this is ridiculous. It's trying to intentionally waste your time if you don't pay. #### Vendor response Hi Tracey, thank you for sharing your experience. In line with your doubt about the trial version, kindly let us explain it in more detail and hopefully, it will help you. Actually, Filmora team offers a benefit for the specific non-purchased users who meet the below conditions to export a video without limitation: --New users who have not purchased, not registered, or not exported videos --New users who have registered but not purchased, not exported videos on the first launch software day Notice: 1. Those users may see this offer named "Get A watermark-free export" in the Filmora program. 2. Users can export only one video without a watermark for free and it needs to be done within 3 days after this benefit is redeemed. Each WSID can only get it once. Back to the situation you mentioned (download DaVinchi Resolve from a site, while it downloaded Filmora instead), we are willing to investigate it further and make things clarified, however, the current information is too limited. Would you please drop an email with more details at customer_service@wondershare.com? We want to help as much as we're able to. Look forward to getting in touch with you!

No incentive was offered My experience with Filmora has been nothing short of amazing. I always turn to it for its ease and speed in getting things done. Plus, the range of effects is just outstanding. Both my current and future projects will undoubtedly go through Filmora. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I've been rocking Filmora for over two years now, both for work and my personal stuff, and I'm totally hooked! What I absolutely love is how newbie-friendly it is – perfect for those just dipping their toes into editing. But don't let its simplicity fool you, because it also packs a punch with tons of cool effects. And the library? It's just mind-blowing. #### Cons If there's one thing I'd say about Filmora, it's that it's a fantastic program. However, given how user-friendly it is, it sometimes doesn't feel like a pro video editing tool. --- ### Fast and Friendly Video Editing Software for Content Creators! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Kriti A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Entertainment - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered If you have little to no knowledge of video editing, Wondershare's Filmora is your choice! You can create seamless, professional videos with the help of this software. Features that are a bit hard to get hold of in industry-accepted video editing softwares can easily be found here, and editing techniques like pan and zoom, speed effects, etc., can be applied with just a click of a button. It offers a number of user-friendly features and basically spoils you for choices with its range of effects, transitions, overlays, and text options. I would recommend this software to anyone who has close to zero knowledge of video editing but doesn't wish to depend on someone else for this particular work. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Wondershare's Filmora is an extremely easy-to-use video editing software. It is apt for beginners and content creators who wish to edit their videos in the easiest and the fastest ways possible. It has an interface that's easy to use and navigate, an excellent variety of overlays, effects and transitions, and once gotten hold of it, one can even edit high-end videos like short films, music videos, even documentaries and features using this software, If given a chance, this software is good enough to replace many high-end video editing softwares. #### Cons As a filmmaker, I happen to know that video editing requires immense patience, and is an extremely time-consuming task. It's heartbreaking when you are almost finished with the project and the software decides to lag and eventually crash. Although this is not a unique feature of this particular feature and most video editing softwares happen to crash from time to time, Filmora is no different in this specific aspect. #### Reasons for switching to Filmora The software was too heavy for my system configurations and I was looking for an alternative that takes lesser space and is easier to use. ## More reviews [Next reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/video-making/filmora-profile/reviews/?page=2) --- Filmora Reviews, Pros and Cons - 2026 Software Advice
