Filmora Video Editor App Reviews

I was never really happy with iMovies but it did what I wanted so I stuck with it. Until, that is, I got an iPhone. That was when I found out that iMovies (at least, my version of it) doesnt rotate video. All the video that I took in the upright position was on its side in iMovie. That was when I searched for an alternative that would allow me to rotate videos and how I found Wondershares Video Editor. I was a bit hesitant based on the 1, 2, and 3 star reviews, but I was able to test it out first by going to their website and downloading the demo version. When I saw that it was exactly what I wanted I came back here and bought it. When it comes to rotating video all it takes is a simple click or two, and the option to rotate is clearly visible. I didnt have to go hunting for this option. I have a website where I review products and many of the videos I take are for that site. I was even more pleased to see how easy it is to add my sites URL at the bottom of each video. Movies are not the only thing I have edited with this software. It is also easy to make a video from photos, but this initially caused me frustration. I knew how long I wanted each picture to remain visible before transitioning to the next picture, but each time I would set the time and select "Apply duration to all", I would then watch the video and see only the first image being shown. I thought something was wrong, but all I needed to do was click the "All Clip" button at the top of the viewing area. This isnt meant to be a professional program, but I love it because it completely meets my needs, and it is much easier to use and figure out than my version of iMovie. I highly recommend this software!

Thought this would be an upgrade from iMovie and it was “on sale.” Easily the worst piece of software/app I’ve ever bought. 1. Crashed many times loosing work. Even crashed trying to export. 2. Couldn’t play back file so couldn’t see what it actually sounded and looked like untill you export… which might crash. 3. Randomly inserted short files of pics or videos when editing. Had to zoom in to even find and delete these split second inserts. 4. Automatically made duplicates of photos imported into the edit. Had to go back and find those to delete. Basically, this software isn’t close to being ready to be sold. Fuctionally, there are far less options in editing audio than iMovie. Audio editing is horrible/nonexistance. Will probably buy iMovie now so I don’t have to use this software again.

Please try your app on external monitor, and make possible to resize bottom part with layers. Also try to use Camtasia to get some ideas and improve your app… Overall, it has some nice effects and was worth $0.99 if you do not have some more powerfull editor.

Hopefully the recent dissatisfied users will update to this version and their patience will be pleasantly rewarded.

A simple movie editor that is intuitve in the true mac tradition. I am not a pro movie editor. I don’t imagine I will ever be a pro. I don’t need all the extra features that others might need. I just want to put a couple clips together with an opening screen, some nice transitions, a few cool effects, a good close, and some sound. Video Editor 3 does that. Video Editor 3 does what I want and it does it simply. I jumped right in and finished my first project in about 5 mininutes without any hassles. I wanted to loop a quicktime movie and put it on a memory stick to plug into a samsung TV. Samsung is very specific about what Codecs can be used….. Video Editor 3 had all the necessary adjustments that were needed to make it work. 5 Minutes, BOOM! Done! Everyone thinks I’m genius.

Works very nice for a quick movie. Lots of features.

very easy to used

Whenever i put a video in it instantly drops the quality the video was at

Since Imovie is all jacked and ridiculous, this fits the bill nicely at the price point I wanted. Goodbye iMovie

I purchased this because iMovie wasn’t compatible with my computer. I love this more than iMovie exceot one thing… You can’t select part of a clip. You are left with cropping only. If I had a bit of dialog from the middle of a clip that I wanted to delete, I would have to import the video twice and crop it twice. This makes it nearly impossible to edit “vlog” style videos impossible without taking 7+ hours. This really is a deal-breaker for me, making this software practically unusable, and definitely not worth the $20, which is a sale price.

I use a Mac Mini version 2,1 and it is upgraded to the specs of average 2010 models, running 10.8.4. For my system, Wondershare is the best deal you can get for a solid, reasonably fast video editor/converter which will render 1080p and burn discs. I had used Wondershare previously on Windows and liked it pretty well but then I got Premiere and that was all I needed for a while. Well, Premiere doesnt handle a lot of file formats which Wondershare does, and I have a ton of .mts files from a hard drive recorder. It would have taken forever to convert them all to something Premiere would handle, so I just bought Wondershare and it works great for basic editing, effects and conversion. Im impressed that software this cheap would do 1080p because some more-expensive brands hold back on that option until you spend a hundred or more bucks.

I am very upset. I purchased this to help me complete a project for Spanish class, as iMovie was giving me a bit of trouble. I figured that for 20 dollars it would be awesome! I was so excited- I loved the different text options. However, upon attemping to add video to the project, it crashed. Three times. It is completely unusable. I usually dont leave reviews, but I wanted to warn everyone of this before they even bothered purchasing.

Do not purchase this app! it lags a lot and it WILL crash on you in the middle of your project or when you are about to export your project. Audio doesn’t match up with the videos, recording doesn’t match up either. Horrible quality is all I can say. Save yourself the 20 bucks for a better app like Final Cut Pro

I like the ease of use of this software, what I don’t like is that all the still images I import become extremely dark.

I was happy to be playing with Filmora because I found that I liked it better than the Video Editor version. Unfortunately, this evening I received a note to upgrade, which I did. It froze and now I can’t get to the program at all. Just try getting through to support. Apparently, it’s non-existent, and I got tired of going around in circles. Back to iMovie! Lesson learned.

It would have been nice to know that Video Editor had become Filmora Video Editor after spending an entire day wondering what the hell Filmora was and why was it on my system. As for the program itself, while there seem to be many more features than before, I am on the fence due to crashes when saving. However, I will continue to muck around with it before concluding if this is something I do want to continue to use it.

I tried a number of video editors out there and I found this newer version quite stable and easier to use. It’s way easy to upload to youtube and other website. The best thing also it doesn’t crash like the other free or more pricey programs out there.

The video aspects of the program are decent. I’ve used better, for for the money I can’t complain. When it comes to timing music to it, forget it. You have no idea where your music will time out with this application let alone getting action to match a beat. It’s impossible. I tried to use a side-by-side video format from two perspectives and, while it looks okay, the best sync I could get was within a second. There are no spit-seconds available no it’s not right on the beat. I’m disappointed in a feature that the company seams really proud of. Doesn’t work folks. Oh, and one more silly addition. The multiple screen variations have a thumbnail to help identify the look. When I export the video, the dang thumbnail shows up at the end of my video. Real professional looking—NOT! Very odd bugs that seems to crawl out of the woodwork too much. Pick something else unless these folks fix the bugs in existence.

can you please fix this issue it only lasts a minute or so before it crashes…

I have tried to contact a customer service rep at Filmora in regards to my issues. No luck. Once someone responded via e-mail, i asked if i can speak to a live person/representative to get my issues/questions resolved promptly. Again, no luck. There is a problem when uploading footage and also, as stated by another person here…it constantly freezes up and crashes. Not good at all. I am unhappy and would like a complete refund. Who can assist me with this request?
