Pros / Cons
  • My experience with Filmora has been fantastic for the time I needed most because in the first period of my video editing work I was focused on being very fast so to create new contents and this was the ideal solution for my case.
  • Only to have wasted more time and money with experiences like this. If we don't share our experiences on platforms such as Capterra, the problems will not be addressed by the developer because they live in their own bubbles with their priorities first.

  • With customer support not needed, strong security, value for money, video creation, project creation, animation and save and export tools, iMovie is essential.
  • Processing time is a bit slower than others and I wish there was an easier way to create portrait size videos instead of the multi-step process I’ve been doing.
