In my opinion, this software has a lot of benefits, such as the possibility to use an intuitive Drag-and-Drop Workflow. Besides that, another advantage is that it provides a neat interface that is perfect for newcomers. Furthermore, it has one of the biggest Built-In Asset \& Template Libraries as you can enhance your creativity with royalty-free photos, video clips, and sound effects. Moreover, it comes with numerous titles, lower thirds, filters, and dynamic transitions. > > **Cons**: However, there are also some cons to Wondershare Filmora. First, the free version always adds an intrusive, centred watermark to your exported videos. Second, most features need to be unlocked via additional purchases. Furthermore, the number of AI credits required to generate new clips and images is limited. On the other hand, it possesses a very controversial disadvantage, such as the lack of Colour grading depth. It only provides basic sliders, curve options, and advanced node trees. What is more, there is no effective motion tracking or AI cutouts to make the creation of multiple scenes easier. Additionally, it does not allow you to design new complex effects. > > In general, I had a positive experience using Wondershare Filmora since it helped our team to produce engaging and high-quality video content for brand promotion and marketing. To sum up, I will recommend this software to all my colleagues since it has a lot of useful tools and features for amateurs and professionals, and it is great for various fields and tasks. ----- ### "Perfect high mid-level Video Editor." — 5.0/5 > **Frederick** | *10 April 2026* | Animation | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Perfect, step up from the free micro applications. The interface is simple and easy to use. It uses plain language that anyone can understand. The starter pack of effects is top-notch.It's everything you will need to get started, and they offer a very good deal on effects, packages and music subscriptions. All in all a good buy for your money. > > **Cons**: Gets a little unstable under heavy loads, a high stacked timeline. I have had to save and continue . > > It is a wonderful overall experience.I have learned so much about making short films , reels and eclipse from this platform that will advance me to the next level. ----- ### "Do not subscribe for this app" — 1.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *07 January 2026* | Law Enforcement | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: no pros, > > **Cons**: Do not subscribe for this app or software, there are many red flags I should have taken note of, like the fact there is no monthly subscription but instead everything was billed yearly, the fact that they don't have a customer service and no email to even contact and talk to them directly, just robot and noreply automated emails. Another red flag is their big watermark for unpaid version, you just know they are very selfish and dont want you to use them for free like other better app with smaller watermark. so now I am stuck with a useless good for nothing app for a year and I cant get my money back because they wont refund me. After subscribing for this software, you still have to subscribe to use any meaningful features like a youtube subscribe sticker, and captioning your video you also need to pay again to even use that feature, making it like 3 different yearly billed subscription to have a meaningful usage. This is a Sc@m software, I definitely don't recommend for anyone, and I am pissed. Also trust pilot issued a warning they are paying people to write good reviews for them, take this review as a good first hand experience and save yourself the stress and waste of money and space. > > terrible, annoyed and I just want my money back, so many red flags, like the fact you cant refund me, like not having an option for monthly subscription but instead it is yearly ----- ### "“Wondershare Filmora: The Easiest Video Editor for Beginners, But Limited for Professionals”" — 5.0/5 > **Sajid** | *14 April 2026* | Animation | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Clean interface, simple drag-and-drop You don’t need professional editing skills 2. Ready-made effects \& templates Lots of transitions, filters, titles, and music Great for quick social media videos 3. Fast learning curve You can start editing within minutes No complicated setup like advanced software 4. Good balance of power + simplicity Has useful features like green screen, motion tracking, and keyframing But still not as overwhelming > > **Cons**: Very simple to use The interface is clean and easy to understand—even if you’ve never edited a video before, you can start quickly without confusion. 2. Ready-made effects \& templates It comes with lots of built-in transitions, filters, titles, and animations. You can make your video look professional without needing advanced skills. 3. Drag-and-drop editing You just drag clips, music, or effects into the timeline. This saves time and makes editing smooth. > > Very easy to use: Clean drag-and-drop interface, ideal if you’re new to editing. Fast editing workflow: You can create social media videos, YouTube content, or basic projects quickly. Good built-in effects: Transitions, filters, titles, music, and templates are ready to use. AI features (new versions): Includes tools like auto cut, background removal, and text-to-video features. Decent performance: Runs smoothly on mid-range laptops compared to heavier pro editors. ----- ### "Excellent features with slow speed" — 4.0/5 > **Abhishek** | *10 June 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The most liked feature of filmora for me was Picture in picture, where we can add a blank background colour and then add more layers above it. This helped to make a collage of videos. The video crop feature and adjustable feature where I was able to rotate the video at some angle helping me to align the video. > > **Cons**: Every changes that I made took a lot of time to get processed, timeout happens a lot. Sometimes the process never ends and keep on loading. Only if it could have been more faster in making the changes, it would have been great product. > > My overall experience has been good not very excellent as it takes a lot of time to process, it messes up with the overall experience. Even though it has really good customisable features and which are easy to learn and understand from a new user perspective. Video processing takes too long to respond. ----- Page: 1 / 31\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/186540/filmora?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/186540/filmora) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
