Filmora from Wondershare is the company's video editing software available for a monthly or annual subscription, with support for 4k editing and a wide (and growing) range of available effects.
Feature rich - always innovating - I love the fact that Descript rolls out innovations on a recurring basis. Export options are amazing and can't really be matched out in the marketplace Quite simply others are trying to catch up to Descript - so that's a good position for them …
It works as well as Otter transcribing and with similar accuracy, but has a much better free tier, and has workspace management features that are more robust.
I've used Rev and liked them, but I find Descript to be more flexible and, overall, more useful. We're also experimenting with Searchie.io, but it's early days yet, so I can't comment.
Descript compares favorably to any audio editor where you can't see the transcription. It's so helpful to be able to see what someone said, select only that, and within 30 seconds, the file is exported and you can put it into your project.
I didn't edit the shows previously because it was so time consuming. I had to use one tool for a transcript, another if I edited, another for creating clips. None had the audiograms. I went with Descript because I liked the idea of editing the audio via the script. And I save …
Descript is by far superior to the other editing software you can get on Apple computers. It's able to do a lot more and really save us tons of time. Other Adobe apps are great, but take a while to learn. Descript is very user-friendly, making it easy to start from day one with …
I used the most simple editing tools because I don't need anything fancier. Descript does video and text in parallel and I could choose - exactly in a word -- what I wanted to include. Having text and audio/video in parallel is its greatest strength.
Firstly, Adobe Premiere Pro's price is too high as comapared to Filmora's price. Secondly, Adobe Premiere Pro is not easy to get started. You need to invest a lot of time to learn it. It also reauires more powerful computer whereas Filmora's requirements are not that high. The …
You can purchase Filmora for only one-time payment, unlike those software that have monthly plans to pay for you to be able to use their softwares. So, if you're looking for affordable, reliable but good editing software. Filmora is the best!
I like both Filmora and Adobe premiere pro but it is worth noting that Filmora has some advantages over Adobe Premier pro. It makes as professional looking videos as Adobe premier pro but faster and it is much easier to use and straightforward. Filmora has many video effects, …
There is no comparison, except the price; you get what you pay for. Buy cheap crap and you get cheap crap. I think Filmora relies on the price of their product to seduce customers and then only offers a meager amount of product, which is actually very substandard.
An incredibly more powerful tool. More costly up front, but full-suite, no nickel-and-dime business strategy, and no nonsense or issues. Records video and screengrabs simultaneously, but adds them as separate tracks to edit individually. Pleasurable experience, and simple …
I truly do not utilize Adobe Premiere Professional and DaVinci Resolve. However, the time when I'm beginning to study to video edit for a faculty challenge. I used the trial of Adobe and DaVinci however I actually don't get the way to use them even after watching loads of …
Wondershare The best video editing program is Filmora. If you're new to video editing and want to make new videos for your Youtube channel or for promotional purposes, this should be your first choice. In comparison to other expensive video editors, the pricing is also very …
Adobe Premiere Pro is the gold standard for video editing but it was overkill for our needs, which entails educational and advertising videos on Youtube and other social media platforms. The cost and learning curve to train staff made it unusable so we switched to Filmora …
Filmora is easy enough to use after you get started. There are other programs with more functions but that depends on what you need it for. Just for cutting and small editing Filmora is really great and useful. Movavi has more functions, or at least it felt like it but …
DaVinci, despite having a paid version, has a totally free version that allows us to make a good number of edits to our video. Of course, we will have to know the environment to control all the parameters it includes and have a powerful computer. Among some of its advantages: …
Think of Filmora as the sweet spot between iMovie and one of the bigger editing software like Final Cut or Adobe Premiere. If you're just putting together videos or you have a YouTube channel and need a simple way to edit videos and add some bells and whistles, this is for you. …
I tried iMovie on iPad, Adobe Premiere and the default video program that came with my Asus laptop. iMovie is easy to use, good quality output but very little options, Premiere had very hard to use/ understand interface and the default Asus program had catastrophic quality, …
Filmora is great for quick video edits and is quick to load and operate on lower-end PC. It lacks some of the more advanced features, but for some of the training and promotional videos, these are not needed. Filmora is easy to learn for any type of user, it doesn't require …
From what I remember, Final Cut seemed quite expensive and therefore used it on a free trial. The Apple Macs in the office aren't particularly new and didn't cope very well with the software. I can easily and quickly use Filmora on my Windows PC and also when remoting in from …
I had very limited time to spend with a Premiere Pro trial and didn't manage to accomplish much in that time. It is a very capable and professional program but leaves an amateur editor pretty bewildered. It was easy enough to add media and trim out unnecessary footage, but …
Filmora is a good video editor with many of the capabilities of Adobe Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro. However, it was the more user-friendly of the three to people who have no experience in video editing. I cannot speak to what a professional video editor would say, but as …
Filmora has a better effects, transition option pack than other services and it is less than half the price of Camtasia. However, it is limited to 2 video tracks only where Avid One which is free allows 4 video tracks. Camtasia has better layered video on top of video …
Transcription of internal presentations and web conferences. It's great for capturing and transcribing the audio from presentations, demos, etc. which can then be used to develop training materials, blog posts, etc.
Podcasts. Makes it really easy to record, edit, and publish video or audio podcasts.
Promotional videos. Streamlines and accelerates the process for developing videos.
It is a good program when you just start editing videos to get into it and have successful end products. If you have more requirements on a program you might need to be able to look into something more advanced. But it is totally sufficient to start out with when editing the first videos.
Records the screen of your computer perfectly. This is great if you are an architect because you can show on a video how you make your renderings and plans with Autocad, chief architect premier, Adobe photoshop or even revit.
You can cut videos perfectly and add music to them easily.
You can use several predesigned themes to create any video you desire.
You can add as much text as you want to your videos
There are several filters you can use to improve the images on the recordings.
Filmora is an all rounder video editing software. Besides editing videos, you can generate videos, images, and music! So, even if you are not shooting any videos on your own, you can create highly engaging explainer videos, demo videos, or any kind of information videos. Filmora is powerfully useful to content creators, video editors, podcasters, or even for enthusiasts!
I'm giving this a ten because I haven't needed the support in any way, however, I've gotten correspondence from them letting me know that they are available if needed. I've seen reviews saying the support is lacking but those were years ago. I'm assuming they've figured everything out by now.
Descript is by far superior to the other editing software you can get on Apple computers. It's able to do a lot more and really save us tons of time. Other Adobe apps are great, but take a while to learn. Descript is very user-friendly, making it easy to start from day one with very little training.
Adobe Premiere Pro is the gold standard for video editing but it was overkill for our needs, which entails educational and advertising videos on Youtube and other social media platforms. The cost and learning curve to train staff made it unusable so we switched to Filmora where we now have several staff trained on how to use it. It's just more fun all around and easier to use than Premiere Pro.
I can get video completed much more quickly and cheaply
We can produce more video content because of the speed with which we can have a finished product
We can have shorter timelines for example I record on Monday and we publish on Tuesday which wouldn't be otherwise possible with other methods I've used
