intuitive design, good file compatibility

The user interface is intuitive and does exactly what I expect. It reminds me of an old version of iMovie, which was also very intuitive but unfortunately it has been phased out. I don’t do very sophisticated video editing but mainly a few basic operations: (1) cropping / zooming (2) trimming (3) splitting and mergging (4) exporting to some format I can post online (5) occasionally rotating (6) title, caption (7) exporting to some target format. It has been quite robust so far.

I’ve had compatibility problems that I solved using Filmora Video Editor. For example, I captured video using my GoPro in mp4 but Facebook would give me an error when uploading. I also tried converting the video to different formats using other tools but no luck. Now I edit in Filmora Video Editor and export — problem solved! I just need to use one tool.

I bought this app after trying out the eval versions of several video editors that either puts a mark (which the free version of Filmora does) or limits the video size or length (which some other programs do). Filmora costs a little more than I thought I needed, since I just wanted basic features that I used to be able to do with iMovie and QuickTime, but I ended up wasting a lot of time trying to use different tools for one or more missing features on my list. Filmora saves me time trying to figure out the workarounds. So… I think it is worth it.
