This video was very helpful; thank you. I’ve used Filmora 11 and 12 but was not excited by Filmora 13’s new feature bullet points. You have a done a thorough and fair assessment. After watching this I see no need for me to upgrade to 13 because the new AI tools will not help me with TH-cam content creation.
Thankyou for the feedback, it means a lot that it’s helped. The differences are very minor if you don’t want the ai stuff. I do like the grouping and the seperate screen recording track, but they aren’t huge differences. Thanks again
Hey Joseph thanks for the feedback. What makes you think this, any particular reason? Personally, I think if a beginner looks at it and ignores 60% of the features then it’s still a good one to learn. There’s a few little touches that can then make a big difference to the edit like keyframes, multi clip editing etc.I am going to create a few more filmora videos so if there’s anything I can help with please let me know 🙂 thanks again!
Ill say I am new to Filmora. I downloaded Kinemaster on my IPAD and then went to get it for the our MAC. I got Filmora and was so excited that I bought it that night. I mostly make sports related stuff for the kids. Ive been impressed so far. Im not exactly a beginner maybe slightly above it. I’d recommend it. I do agree that there are many features that are either above me.
Wow I appreciate this breakdown. I’m excited to incorporate some of these pieces into my editing. However, if I had not been using Filmora for a few years now, I may be too intimidated to learn it. But so many great upgrades. Thanks
No problem and Thankyou for the feedback. I wouldn’t worry to much. One good thing about filmora is there are tonnes of turorials. Let me know if there’s ever anything specifically you want to learn.
Thanks for the video. 🤗I have worked 15 years in a biggest broadcasting company as videoeditor in my past. I think wondershare is simple enough and good quality videoediting tool to make social media videos. I was very happy about getting out the text from the video, even it does not support our language (Finnish).
Yes. I should have gone into more detail on this on the video but it does look like they pass on the ai costs they incur. I see a lot of companies doing this. Not sure how I feel about it, but I can see why they do it, to prevent over usage etc.
@@JonDavis thank you free version I can play with if I want this software to purchase. think I'll continue to observe. thanks for the quick reply and your open honest thoughts that is what wins people over. participate for reward points I get that
@@fishycomics No problem at all, I like/use Filmora, I just think they missed the mark here with a few features. Thank you for the feedback, I really appreciate it
for smart cutout u need green screen on your background organically by recording and then you can cute out perfectly. mask option u have to use add mask option. thats pretty good option by new fearture and opacity of each mask by marking control
Great video! I was thinking about upgrading filmora again, but I think the Ai takes away from what you could create. Last filmora I used for my channel was filmora x an I don’t see much of a difference. Also like you said there’s better softwares out there for these specific features that just function better. New sub!
Omgoodness….TMI…Just needing to learn as a beginner. Simple…How to create a simple video…with music…Where you can get free music…etc. Step by step…or is there some one else who I need to learn from who teaches more simply? The way you’ve explained all this feels like I’m in a whirlwind. You’re way more experienced than I need at this point. Thank you…🙂
Hey Donna! Thankyou for the feedback. This video was an insight into the latest version of filmora and dive into the ai features. Doesn’t sound like that’s what you need right now. I do however create simpler tutorials (advanced ones too) on a variety of tools for creators. For instance, I have a full step by step guide to basic TH-cam video editing due soon. In the meantime, this is a little older but a lot of the principles will be the same. It’s a full tutorial on filmora th-cam.com/video/QnnP6slOE9o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JCPE9s42eVTAgyKa And this is one on music.. th-cam.com/video/7X6ijCverJw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ctrNjlleCWDRKpzl You’ve given me some good ideas so Thankyou and I hope you find the upcoming content useful
Am I the only one who thinks that new audio transitions are sharper? Like, the first video fades out, but the second one it feels like it starts right away without fade in...
It's nice to have webcam footage on its own track. That's the only reason I upgraded. I have little interest in the AI features. I do the bulk of my editing in Resolve.
@@JonDavis At first I found the Resolve interface a little busy, but I found tutorials by MrAlexTech and Casey Faris very helpful. Much can be done without ever leaving the Edit page. Resolve can be a bit of a resource hog, so I increased my RAM (40 GB)and upgraded my GPU (Nvidea 4070) so, for now I'm a happy camper.
Great honest video. I am not too excited with the new features of 13. They all seem to be working but not great. They do need fine tuning. I find the I Phone cut out tool works way better for cutting out objects or people. Thanks
Thanks, I appreciate the demos about the new features! 😊👍 I have not yet investigated the new AI credit points, but seeing how it is set up, I have a feeling it might be something you need to pay to add if you are using some of those new features ..👀
You are correct. Some of these features use credit that need paying. I should have gone into this in more detail. Most apps I see are struggling with this concept as they are all passing on their costs to end user. Can’t say I like it to be honest
this is a nice insight, as im curious of the new features, but i think this is just the start and they will improve it overtime, they might just testing the waters
Thankyou for the feedback and watching. I agree, I think some have a long way to go, but I like that they’ve made a start and look forward to seeing them improve.
@@clajmate69 I can’t even remember the difference other than the properties was all in the right pane. If you look at the top icons on the very top bar, there’s one that is made up of a few squares. That’s the layout panel. Try checking that to classic and hopefully it does the trick.
Good question! Personally I think this function has a lot of potential. It’s too glitchy for me currently having used other editors that excel in this. To be completely fair, the other editors I’ve used don’t do a lot of what Fillmora does either. Each has its strengths
Good point. I mentioned a credit system but didn’t go into detail, mainly because most tools have to pass on costs of using AI backend tools. But yes you do need to pay for some of these (not all). Though oddly I’ve got thousands of credits and little intention of using them
Firstly, thank you for making this video, because the ai tools look very underwhelming, you saved a lot of people time and frustration. I have to say im so shocked filmora released this in this in such a poor state. In the past they were thorough in making sure features worked properly. Looks like they rushed to make a quick buck. I feel like this will hurt their reputation. They really should have spent more time polishing before release. To add insult to injury, i have the lifetime license yet filmora didn't offer give me the free upgrade with my lifetime and wanted me to pay, so it looks like they are back to not honoring the lifetime members, here we go with the lifetime fiasco again. In all honesty, this isn't worth the upgrade and i will stick with my version 12. Your explanation and testing was amazing. Thanks again.
Thankyou for the feedback. I agree it seems rushed and not up to their usual standards sadly. I am glad the video helped you. Someone else mentioned about the lifetime issue. Got to be honest, mine worked fine. I know Daniel batal was heavily involved in voicing people’s concerns last time and I’m sure there hasn’t been much mention. So when the time comes to upgrade you may just need to raise a support ticket. Thanks again for watching and I appreciate the positive feedback.
Bottom line for me: I got Da Vinci Resolve (full version) for free with a Black Magic Design 6K camera I bought 2 years ago - the Filmora software was still attractive for me for "quick and dirty" video editing (that's just an expression - I'm not referring to any sort of naughty stuff) - I was mainly using it for footage shot with a Panasonic GH5 - which I've held on to. So - there I was - paying out a monthly subscription to Wondershare for their Filmora 12 version - and - every so often - an update - at no extra cost. Lately an "upgrade" - not an "update" (I do understand the distinction) to Filmora 13 was offered to me - it turns out to be an "offer I cannot refuse" as my attempts to export videos I've edited with my current Filmora 12 - without a watermark - have all failed. That is despite Wondershare continuing to take their monthly payment off me. Result: Wondershare has lost this customer - I've cancelled my subscription. Despite being a lawyer, I haven't bothered investigating what Wondershare is up to - I will say it's very user friendly software with - even before the "upgrade" - some pretty useful features. Nevertheless Da Vinci Resolve in its latest version (and remember the abridged version is downloadable for free) has some very clever features too (on top of world class colour grading tools). By all means use (and pay) for the Wondershare product - I just do not like the foregoing sort of practice. Will those who "upgrade" to Filmora 13 be in a similar position to myself in - say 2 years' time - when "Version 14" is launched ????
Thankyou for the feedback and sorry to hear you’ve had such a difficult time with filmora. There upgrade/update policy does seem problematic to say the least. I know a lot of companies restrict to major versions, but if you are paying monthly then that shouldn’t matter imo. A few people have mentioned davinci. I have looked before but didn’t give it time for the learning curve required. Maybe one to revisit at some point thanks again and best wishes with your video creation
After upgrade from 12 to 13.031 version I am experiencing serious problems with stability and operation of basic functions. The split button randomly disappears, motion tracking hangs, you can't edit the size of the mosaic added to motion tracking, and much more. I went back to version 12.
Oh no, sorry to hear that! I haven’t noticed anything similar but will check it out. I think they released a minor update the other day, hopefully that addresses some of your issues.
Sorry to hear! Got to be honest I didn’t mention on the video as in assumed it was just me, but it cleared all my favourites and media. I took it as an opportunity to clear out and start again but it was annoying and a few things I couldn’t find again. Hope you find everything you need.
Thanks Jon. Yes it looked like Camtasia recording the wondershare recording based on the mouse effect. What features of the talking head are better? I gather Camtasia is creating three separate files which cam be dealt with in Filmora.
So I used to just use filmora for everything. But the last 12 month I started looking at other options. If you have a Mac then there are lots. Windows not so much. I like camtasia for cursor effects and animations. But I don’t like it for creating my videos start to finish. I just find filmora more intuitive for audio, text and general timeline editing. Not necessarily what I would recommend to everyone as it isn’t the cheapest way. But it’s what I’ve found works for me over the years 😀
I hear good things about davinci but I’ve never got into it. I think it’s a steeper learning curve. I use a mix of filmora and camtasia for screen recording. Capcut looks decent to though I’ve only used it on mobile
Oh absolutely. Depends what you need to do. I use it for my videos I just don’t use any of the new features they’ve released. It’s still a good editor.
I know that filmora is great just from the few times I've used it I think that annoys me is the subscription you can be pretty expensive and I don't personally know which of the plans I should go with Perpetual what if a film or a 14 comes out and if I get the annual and I don't use it within the year I just be putting $40 into a service I don't really utilize. Mind you I'm a student that would like to learn how to do video editing/audio for voice acting and such so honestly I'm kind of stuck between the two. The other thing is I don't know how useful all of the AI upgrades will be to me to be completely honest I would be fine with Fillmore at 12 however I can see how some of these AI features would be beneficial would it be better off just sticking with filmora 12 or should I at least upgrade to 13 just so I could have the benefit of these upgrades
Licensing can be very confusing. My understanding is you can pay the fee each year and that will entitle you to upgrades. You can pay perpetual for that particular update. I have seen them honour new versions when they are released within certain timeframes. Definitely worth studying the small print. I’m lucky with those one as I got into one of the old old licences where lifetime meant lifetime, sadly they don’t offer that anymore. What I would add. I do think it’s still good value when you consider the cost of others, especially adobe!
I had an issue where my favourites disappeared and I had to add them again. However they still worked. Maybe uninstall and reinstall? Raise a support ticket?
I STILL use Filmora version 8 because I have not liked the look / feel / settings on any version since. (not that I LOVE v.8 but...) still looking for a version that is similar to 8 but better. 12 was close but the photo movement feature (where it zooms in and out slightly on each photo) is WAY too pronounced and there's no way to set it to less by default so..... and I HATE the rounded corners (bubbles) each asset is represented as. I prefer the hard squares in v.8 still waiting for a good version.
Thank you for the feedback, that's an interesting perspective but now you mention it, the bubbled effect isn't as clean. Do you think they will ever change it back again though? Is there anything that you would change version for? Was keyframes around for v8? As that's quite useful
@@BargainBarons I find that really useful. Not so much the ai stuff. I like grouping you can do between clips and elements for group edits etc. But i see why you haven’t upgraded. Ultimately it’s what makes editing as easy and smooth for you as possible (or it’s a pain). Thanks again for watching
Always double check on their site but my understanding… Annual is a repeat cost each year and you always get access to the latest version Perpetual is a one off cost but only for that version. So if they release v14 you wouldn’t get access and would need to pay for it. For example if you bought v14 and was happy with that version for 3-5 years it would be more cost effective than annual. I am sure there are exceptions but that’s my take on it In terms of functionality afaik they are identical.
@JonDavis yes I get it all. But I saw in some comments from other sites that you have to pay for same effect packages in perpetual version. Is it true or just rumors?
@81vasoula so they do have a thing called filmstock/creative assets that is related to a lot of the templates and effects so that’s true. Not sure if they include filmstock in any of the packages or upsell them. I don’t bother with it but there are lots of good effects now. You still get access to a number of effects without it. May be worth checking if any filmora plan includes it, I don’t think they do but I’m not 100%. Sorry I can’t be more accurate.
I use Filmora too. 13 is a big let down. You can get better resources for free than the ai features. They didn't fix any of the issues from 12 and I cannot get a screen recording to add from the timeline in 13. Great video! New subscriber.
Thankyou for the feedback and the subscribe 🙌 Sorry 13 hasn’t been better for you 🙁. I did wonder if I was being way too harsh but it doesn’t sound like it. Hopefully they fix some of the issues you’ve mentioned soon.
I think there are diff options for video and photo. Ai is extremely good at photo, look at midjourney, mind blowing. It isn’t quite there with video. I’ve seen some stunning stuff with runway but it isn’t a video editor. I will release a video this week explaining why I still recommend filmora. But not for the AI. I think they have chased AI functionality to no real benefit. But there isn’t anything I’ve seen better tbh. Stay tuned and I will create a few videos showing why I still recommend filmora.
Thanks for the video. I have version 12. In version 13, can I export a clip in ProRes format so that it will carry alpha for a transparent background? In 12 I have to awkwardly export in webm format and then use a converter to get my masked clip in ProRes so that the background is transparent.
Hey. Got to be honest I know very little about formats capable of this. Just looked in the export options and I don’t see ProRes. There is Webm and GoPro Cineform that both have options to export the alpha channel. Sounds like you’ve used webm before. Is the GoPro format any better?
Thanks for the response. GoPro format export was strangely removed sometime in version 12. The reason this is an important feature is to be able to save meticulously masked clips to be used in other projects outside of Filmora. ProRes4444 carries alpha (transparency created from masking), so it doesn't need conversion. There are fairly easy workarounds using other apps but it would be cool if Filmora could become my all-in-one. You've confirmed my thought. Thanks. @@JonDavis
Hey thanks for the feedback. I use a combo. Always used filmora for everything but animations. I’ve started using camtasia for screen recordings. Mainly because a) that’s its strength b) I’m creating content about filmora and trying to create screen recordings of filmora using filmora goes a bit to inception like and causes issues 🙂 filmora can do screen recordings too.
Yeah. I’ve started using camtasia for screen recordings and then export to filmora for everything else. I don’t like doing the full edit in camtasia but I much prefer the screen recording. Do you use it?
Hi there - Can I ask a question please - you mentioned descript as a tool that you use. I am wondering how you interface descript and filmora so that you can have the separate face bubble in filmora on the timeline? Does descript export them as separate items once cleaned up? THANKS for your kind reply. Good videos
Hi, firstly thankyou for watching and the feedback. Descript can be used for screen recording in the same way filmora can be used. If you did want to use descript but for whatever reason then import into filmora, if you want a separate track in filmora you would need to find a way of exporting the face part and the screen part as separate videos. Whereas if you recorded on filmora it would create them separately anyway (if you choose the option). Currently I’m actually using camtasia for a lot of my screen recordings. Then importing the results into filmora where I then tidy up and add all my talking head sections. This isn’t exactly necessary, a lot can be done in filmora, there’s just a few screen recording features I like camtasia for (though wouldn’t do my videos completely in it)
I put this software on my computer and have to do a system recovery to get it completely removed. Right away after installing you are hit with upgrading for more money...
Wow, sorry to hear it bricked your computer. Cost depends on your current licence, though a few people on the comments have had issues even with a lifetime. Mine recognised the listened licence and went through fortunately but I do think they should be clearer with the licensing model and upgrade implications. Thanks for the feedback and hope you are back up and running again
Hopefully they will improve certain KI-stuff, which doesn't work properly yet,,,it's a lot just about marketing...I use davinci normally... good review anyway...
Yeah I hope so. I’ve always found them good so they will get there. I think a lot of companies are in an AI race and heavy on the marketing at the moment. At least they are trying I guess! Thanks for watching and for the feedback.
Actually couldn’t tell you 100% but I will look into it. I’ve never had a strike for using filmora music (the standard free stuff) but I did hear of issues a year or so ago. Most music subs whitelist your channel, filmora don’t as standard, possibly they do with the extra effect subscriptions? Personally I use a different service that I find has more choice and a whitelisting on the account. I’ve got a video in my back catalog for it, lemme know if you want me to dig out the link
Here you go. I’ve had no issues with these. If you use it for free you need to make sure you add the credit in your description. If you take a paid plan you don’t need to as you just whitelist your channel. AMAZING Audio Solution for Small TH-camrs: Uppbeat th-cam.com/video/7X6ijCverJw/w-d-xo.html
Hey. So, from what I’ve read yes it’s ok. But…. I’m always wary with music. I’ve seen filmora users (and other subscription services) get hit in the past. So I would always apply caution. Personally I use a service called uppbeat and whitelist my channel with them. I’ve a video showing them if you need it.
@@JonDavis What is the title of that video so i can watch? I want to start my youtube channel but the only challenge is video editing. I hired editors from upwork but it was disappointing. Do you know a good ai tool that can do the job so you don't need to be depended on the video editors? I did try invideo ai and fliki ai but they are not good for tutorial and educational videos. They are just good for story telling niche. And tools like filmoro, capcut and premiere pro are time consuming.
@mania7927 here’s the video : AMAZING Audio Solution for Small TH-camrs: Uppbeat th-cam.com/video/7X6ijCverJw/w-d-xo.html I feel your pain. Sadly there isn’t any tooling I have seen. Most stuff that promises ai editing is garbage. The choices are to outsource or put the time in yourself. It is time consuming though. I think once you find a good editor it’s worth keeping them close. But it can be hard work finding one. I’ve tried a few and end up doing it myself. Especially early on when you may not earn enough to cover costs of a good editor. I would learn the basics. Keep it simple and consistent. TH-cam is favouring less edited content at the moment. As long as your message is on point and you only say what needs to be said etc Good luck though. Definitely an area a lot of us struggle with
@@JonDavis Thanks for your advice. Well the problem i faced with editors was accuracy level. They did not read the instructions correctly and messed up the final result. Anyway, i know how to edit, but the only problem was gathering the footage which is time consuming. Do you know two good ai tools for bulk ai image and video generation? because i break down the script into 10 words or 20 words by chat gpt and ask for giving prompt for each peace. Now i want to create all footage in bulk so at least save time and make the videos either myself or outsource it while providing the footage myself to the editor.
@mania7927 i like midjourney for images. ChatGPT can create them to now. Try runway for short video. Canva are using dall-e for text to image, and partnered with runway for text to video. It’s early days so not quite there yet. But could be promising.
I tried to cancel my subscription but failed and then they charged me for the new year. when i asked for a refund, they denied me even though it took the money i was going to buy food. I told them this and they threw the policy at me. I will never re up my subscription. I would have when i could afford to, but they are heartless.
Have you raised it with them? I’m on the grandfathered lifetime license and it updated without any issue. I haven’t heard much in the community of any issues so assumed all was good this time (after the last fiasco!)
@@JonDavis I've been speaking with the customer service since the Filmora 13 was released but with poor results. They say that because my lifetime license was bought after the Filmora 10 was released I'm not eligible for free Filmora 13 upgrade/update which is kind strange because I didn't have to pay for the Filmora 12 upgrade/update and the terms say that my lifetime license gives me free acces to all future updates.
I tried the free version and I just wanted to test on version 13. My intention was to put on captions on videos without captions. Every time I did (about 4 times) it put watermarks on the videos. After 4 tries it said I ran out of "credits"? What does that mean? What's the use of putting watermarks when it also has credits? I like the software, considering of buying, but after it limited my trials, I am not sure about purchasing it. I want to do a few dozen videos and I am afraid it might have daily limitations.
I think the free version is why it watermarks. The credits will be for the captions. They use credits for some of their AI features. I don’t like that to be honest. I know why a lot of software companies do it and they may get charged if over used. But captions shouldn’t fall under that. I would just base it on whether you like the feel of the software. I would recommend it but I don’t see the point in some of the ai stuff
Hi thank you Jon, very informative and clear. You mentioned that TH-cam paid customers has a feature for a more natural sounding text to speech, What paid YT plan is that? I know of TH-cam Light and TH-cam Premium which is primarily to view ad free video. Is it one of those plans or is there another plan specifically to edit YT videos? Thanks
I don't want to say 100% as i don't know, but I think AI generated content is contentious. Technically i have been told that it is, as its original, but I am not 100% so would so some research
I've used the filmora 13's, voice to text and text to voice AI and the only way to accurately describe them is that they are garbage. The conversion accuracy would in my opinion be around 60% if that. I moved away from descript as I thought I wouldn't need it now that I have filmora 13, but filmora 13 doesn't come close. Using filmora's AI should be taken to mean Awfully Incompetent. Hopefully they will fix it, descript has shown it's possible. Filmora's version is so bad it should never have been released.
Thanks for sharing and watching. Descript is an excellent tool, that I personally think lacks where filmora is good with basic editing. I think they all try to do too much, which takes the focus away from what they are good at. Hopefully they can improve these ai functions!
Yeah my testing wasn’t great. But I would add, another TH-camr I know had some messy audio with background noise. She used that feature and was really pleased with how it cleaned it up. So some use, but it’s not quite at the point where it cleanly strips audio and vocal let’s say on a music track. Thanks for watching and for the feedback btw.
@@JonDavis yes this!! Everything is just gone. All my saved effects, customs just vanished lol. It took me 40 min last night to find my end screen I’ve used for 2 years lol.
@@thatdailymama oh no rubbish! One to note for future upgrades. I was annoyed but then convinced myself it was an involuntary clean up of things I haven’t used in ages. Who am I kidding though 😃
I really hate filmora now! I will never give them another dime! i have 11 and 12 and I refuse to go to 13. They have disabled many transitions, my quick text no longer works, much of the stock media is disabled, and I feel like they are punishing me for not upgrading. If they arent going to upgrade 12 for free, I wish they would just leave it alone and not tamper with it in any way. They also do other slimey things, and I want to make a video against them, but that doesn't work with my platform! Sorry for the rant, but I'm so frustrated, and I'm ready to ditch filmora once and for all. If anyone has suggestions for the best replacement, let me know plz! I suspect filmora 13 is a big flop that no one wants to pay for, and I wonder if others have the same problems. Sorry again for the rant!
It’s ok to rant especially when your needs aren’t met. I’m sorry to hear. If you have 12 and you aren’t on lifetime then I wouldn’t necessarily upgrade. There are a few little touches like seperate tracks for webcam. But no real need to grab the AI stuff. What I didn’t mention as I assumed it was just my setup, most of my preferences were lost and I’ve had to reset my favourites etc. Bit of a pain but I used it to have a clean up. Aside from the features not being ready, I actually do still recommend filmora. But I do hear good things about resolve if you require an alternative. Hope you get sorted soon
I have been using Filmora for about three days, and I am quite disappointed. Despite numerous videos praising the software, my experience doesn't match the hype. I attempted to contact support but was unsuccessful. The text-to-video feature was a confusing mess, and overall, the artificial intelligence tools seem underdeveloped. It's disheartening that this software received so much hype, as the reality doesn't live up to expectations.
Sorry to hear your experience. I don’t think the ai features are worth it. Though I do like/ use filmora as an editor and it’s always served me well (see other videos). But I think this is the issue when they heavily advertise ai features that just aren’t there. Will leave disappointed customers.
Yes, it's been quite frustrating. For instance, there was a line in the background that extended from my head, and the software couldn't remove it. When I attempted to remove it manually, it turned into a cumbersome task. It's truly disappointing. The only silver lining is that I was conducting a trial before committing to a purchase, mainly due to the unreliable reviews on certain platforms, like TH-cam, from other creators who hyped it up.
Horrible program. Bad smart cut out feature and other features, lots of bugs in the software. Bad support team. I cant even delete that pos from my computer now. Dont waste your money. Look for reputable brands.

Yes. I should have gone into more detail on this on the video but it does look like they pass on the ai costs they incur. I see a lot of companies doing this. Not sure how I feel about it, but I can see why they do it, to prevent over usage etc.
@@JonDavis thank you free version I can play with if I want this software to purchase. think I'll continue to observe. thanks for the quick reply and your open honest thoughts that is what wins people over. participate for reward points I get that
@@fishycomics No problem at all, I like/use Filmora, I just think they missed the mark here with a few features. Thank you for the feedback, I really appreciate it
for smart cutout u need green screen on your background organically by recording and then you can cute out perfectly. mask option u have to use add mask option. thats pretty good option by new fearture and opacity of each mask by marking control
Thanks for that. Definitely harder with a busy background. And not messing with a green screen.
Great video! I was thinking about upgrading filmora again, but I think the Ai takes away from what you could create. Last filmora I used for my channel was filmora x an I don’t see much of a difference. Also like you said there’s better softwares out there for these specific features that just function better. New sub!
Thankyou for the positive feedback, and glad this helped in some way. Cheers
Omgoodness….TMI…Just needing to learn as a beginner. Simple…How to create a simple video…with music…Where you can get free music…etc. Step by step…or is there some one else who I need to learn from who teaches more simply?
The way you’ve explained all this feels like I’m in a whirlwind. You’re way more experienced than I need at this point. Thank you…🙂
Hey Donna! Thankyou for the feedback. This video was an insight into the latest version of filmora and dive into the ai features. Doesn’t sound like that’s what you need right now.
I do however create simpler tutorials (advanced ones too) on a variety of tools for creators. For instance, I have a full step by step guide to basic TH-cam video editing due soon.
In the meantime, this is a little older but a lot of the principles will be the same. It’s a full tutorial on filmora

And this is one on music..

You’ve given me some good ideas so Thankyou and I hope you find the upcoming content useful
@@JonDavis Thank you for the links! I'll be checking them out! Donna
Am I the only one who thinks that new audio transitions are sharper? Like, the first video fades out, but the second one it feels like it starts right away without fade in...
I hadn't noticed but will keep an eye out for that - thanks
Yeah, when I first downloaded it I thought that it was going to remove all the dead spaces and the bloopers
It's nice to have webcam footage on its own track. That's the only reason I upgraded. I have little interest in the AI features. I do the bulk of my editing in Resolve.
Yeah agreed, that was a pet hate of mine so good to see progress. How do you find resolve? I’ve looked a few times but never stuck with it
@@JonDavis At first I found the Resolve interface a little busy, but I found tutorials by MrAlexTech and Casey Faris very helpful. Much can be done without ever leaving the Edit page. Resolve can be a bit of a resource hog, so I increased my RAM (40 GB)and upgraded my GPU (Nvidea 4070) so, for now I'm a happy camper.
Fantastic! Thank you.
No problem!
Great honest video. I am not too excited with the new features of 13. They all seem to be working but not great. They do need fine tuning. I find the I Phone cut out tool works way better for cutting out objects or people. Thanks
Thankyou for the feedback, really appreciate it. Hopefully they improve some of these functions going forward
Thanks, I appreciate the demos about the new features! 😊👍
I have not yet investigated the new AI credit points, but seeing how it is set up, I have a feeling it might be something you need to pay to add if you are using some of those new features ..👀
You are correct. Some of these features use credit that need paying. I should have gone into this in more detail. Most apps I see are struggling with this concept as they are all passing on their costs to end user. Can’t say I like it to be honest
this is a nice insight, as im curious of the new features, but i think this is just the start and they will improve it overtime, they might just testing the waters
Thankyou for the feedback and watching. I agree, I think some have a long way to go, but I like that they’ve made a start and look forward to seeing them improve.
also is there a way to make my filmora 13 looks filmora 11? i love the simple design of 11@@JonDavis
@@clajmate69 I can’t even remember the difference other than the properties was all in the right pane. If you look at the top icons on the very top bar, there’s one that is made up of a few squares. That’s the layout panel. Try checking that to classic and hopefully it does the trick.
perfect..... got me further in my decision if I will use 13 or stick a bit longer with 12 👍 Thanks
Glad it helped and thanks for the feedback
Filmora 13 That's amazing for Vlogger and TH-camr
Glad you like it 🙂
How well is everyone finding text based editing working out?
Good question! Personally I think this function has a lot of potential. It’s too glitchy for me currently having used other editors that excel in this. To be completely fair, the other editors I’ve used don’t do a lot of what Fillmora does either. Each has its strengths
You'd better let us know if it is free to use those ai functions.
Good point. I mentioned a credit system but didn’t go into detail, mainly because most tools have to pass on costs of using AI backend tools. But yes you do need to pay for some of these (not all). Though oddly I’ve got thousands of credits and little intention of using them
Firstly, thank you for making this video, because the ai tools look very underwhelming, you saved a lot of people time and frustration. I have to say im so shocked filmora released this in this in such a poor state. In the past they were thorough in making sure features worked properly. Looks like they rushed to make a quick buck. I feel like this will hurt their reputation. They really should have spent more time polishing before release.
To add insult to injury, i have the lifetime license yet filmora didn't offer give me the free upgrade with my lifetime and wanted me to pay, so it looks like they are back to not honoring the lifetime members, here we go with the lifetime fiasco again. In all honesty, this isn't worth the upgrade and i will stick with my version 12. Your explanation and testing was amazing. Thanks again.
Thankyou for the feedback. I agree it seems rushed and not up to their usual standards sadly.
I am glad the video helped you.
Someone else mentioned about the lifetime issue. Got to be honest, mine worked fine. I know Daniel batal was heavily involved in voicing people’s concerns last time and I’m sure there hasn’t been much mention. So when the time comes to upgrade you may just need to raise a support ticket.
Thanks again for watching and I appreciate the positive feedback.
thanks for the advice, i will reach out to support right now and send them my receipt lol thank god i dont delete emails of my receipts@@JonDavis
Bottom line for me: I got Da Vinci Resolve (full version) for free with a Black Magic Design 6K camera I bought 2 years ago - the Filmora software was still attractive for me for "quick and dirty" video editing (that's just an expression - I'm not referring to any sort of naughty stuff) - I was mainly using it for footage shot with a Panasonic GH5 - which I've held on to. So - there I was - paying out a monthly subscription to Wondershare for their Filmora 12 version - and - every so often - an update - at no extra cost. Lately an "upgrade" - not an "update" (I do understand the distinction) to Filmora 13 was offered to me - it turns out to be an "offer I cannot refuse" as my attempts to export videos I've edited with my current Filmora 12 - without a watermark - have all failed. That is despite Wondershare continuing to take their monthly payment off me. Result: Wondershare has lost this customer - I've cancelled my subscription. Despite being a lawyer, I haven't bothered investigating what Wondershare is up to - I will say it's very user friendly software with - even before the "upgrade" - some pretty useful features. Nevertheless Da Vinci Resolve in its latest version (and remember the abridged version is downloadable for free) has some very clever features too (on top of world class colour grading tools). By all means use (and pay) for the Wondershare product - I just do not like the foregoing sort of practice. Will those who "upgrade" to Filmora 13 be in a similar position to myself in - say 2 years' time - when "Version 14" is launched ????
Thankyou for the feedback and sorry to hear you’ve had such a difficult time with filmora. There upgrade/update policy does seem problematic to say the least. I know a lot of companies restrict to major versions, but if you are paying monthly then that shouldn’t matter imo. A few people have mentioned davinci. I have looked before but didn’t give it time for the learning curve required. Maybe one to revisit at some point thanks again and best wishes with your video creation
Thanks - best wishes to you, too, with your video creations.@@JonDavis
After upgrade from 12 to 13.031 version I am experiencing serious problems with stability and operation of basic functions. The split button randomly disappears, motion tracking hangs, you can't edit the size of the mosaic added to motion tracking, and much more. I went back to version 12.
Oh no, sorry to hear that! I haven’t noticed anything similar but will check it out. I think they released a minor update the other day, hopefully that addresses some of your issues.
Same... the zoom had a tremor too. I went back to 12 as well.
true. version 13 is horrible and very buggy
@10:05 ...and a Flamingo is not a mammal. 😂😂
haha you've a good eye! I saw your comment and thought "what on earth are they talking about". :)
It is a mess! I can’t find anything anymore. I am thinking about moving to davinci
Sorry to hear! Got to be honest I didn’t mention on the video as in assumed it was just me, but it cleared all my favourites and media. I took it as an opportunity to clear out and start again but it was annoying and a few things I couldn’t find again. Hope you find everything you need.
Thanks Jon. Yes it looked like Camtasia recording the wondershare recording based on the mouse effect. What features of the talking head are better? I gather Camtasia is creating three separate files which cam be dealt with in Filmora.
So I used to just use filmora for everything.
But the last 12 month I started looking at other options. If you have a Mac then there are lots. Windows not so much.
I like camtasia for cursor effects and animations. But I don’t like it for creating my videos start to finish. I just find filmora more intuitive for audio, text and general timeline editing.
Not necessarily what I would recommend to everyone as it isn’t the cheapest way. But it’s what I’ve found works for me over the years 😀
What's an alternative to Filmora that has same or better capabilities and beginner-intermediate friendly
I hear good things about davinci but I’ve never got into it. I think it’s a steeper learning curve. I use a mix of filmora and camtasia for screen recording. Capcut looks decent to though I’ve only used it on mobile
Can I use filmora version 13 for my cookie decorating videos?
Oh absolutely. Depends what you need to do. I use it for my videos I just don’t use any of the new features they’ve released. It’s still a good editor.
I know that filmora is great just from the few times I've used it I think that annoys me is the subscription you can be pretty expensive and I don't personally know which of the plans I should go with Perpetual what if a film or a 14 comes out and if I get the annual and I don't use it within the year I just be putting $40 into a service I don't really utilize. Mind you I'm a student that would like to learn how to do video editing/audio for voice acting and such so honestly I'm kind of stuck between the two. The other thing is I don't know how useful all of the AI upgrades will be to me to be completely honest I would be fine with Fillmore at 12 however I can see how some of these AI features would be beneficial would it be better off just sticking with filmora 12 or should I at least upgrade to 13 just so I could have the benefit of these upgrades
Licensing can be very confusing. My understanding is you can pay the fee each year and that will entitle you to upgrades. You can pay perpetual for that particular update. I have seen them honour new versions when they are released within certain timeframes. Definitely worth studying the small print. I’m lucky with those one as I got into one of the old old licences where lifetime meant lifetime, sadly they don’t offer that anymore.
What I would add. I do think it’s still good value when you consider the cost of others, especially adobe!
I installed this product the other day, coming up from V12. The transitions and effects don’t work. Well most of them don’t. Any suggestions?
I had an issue where my favourites disappeared and I had to add them again. However they still worked. Maybe uninstall and reinstall? Raise a support ticket?
Pinnacle studio ultimate 26 is one time payment. And filmora 13 is one time payment. So which is best?
I’ve never used pinnacle but I do use and like filmora. Be aware the one time fee is only for that version
@@JonDavis filmora is great ur opinion right!!
I STILL use Filmora version 8 because I have not liked the look / feel / settings on any version since. (not that I LOVE v.8 but...) still looking for a version that is similar to 8 but better. 12 was close but the photo movement feature (where it zooms in and out slightly on each photo) is WAY too pronounced and there's no way to set it to less by default so..... and I HATE the rounded corners (bubbles) each asset is represented as. I prefer the hard squares in v.8 still waiting for a good version.
Thank you for the feedback, that's an interesting perspective but now you mention it, the bubbled effect isn't as clean. Do you think they will ever change it back again though? Is there anything that you would change version for? Was keyframes around for v8? As that's quite useful
@@JonDavis No I do not believe there's any focus on key frames or anything like that in V8
@@BargainBarons I find that really useful. Not so much the ai stuff. I like grouping you can do between clips and elements for group edits etc. But i see why you haven’t upgraded. Ultimately it’s what makes editing as easy and smooth for you as possible (or it’s a pain). Thanks again for watching
May i ask, which of two versions is better? Annual or perpetual? I mean does perpetual has less packages effects? What do you suggest?
Always double check on their site but my understanding…
Annual is a repeat cost each year and you always get access to the latest version
Perpetual is a one off cost but only for that version. So if they release v14 you wouldn’t get access and would need to pay for it.
For example if you bought v14 and was happy with that version for 3-5 years it would be more cost effective than annual.
I am sure there are exceptions but that’s my take on it
In terms of functionality afaik they are identical.
@JonDavis yes I get it all. But I saw in some comments from other sites that you have to pay for same effect packages in perpetual version. Is it true or just rumors?
@81vasoula so they do have a thing called filmstock/creative assets that is related to a lot of the templates and effects so that’s true. Not sure if they include filmstock in any of the packages or upsell them. I don’t bother with it but there are lots of good effects now. You still get access to a number of effects without it. May be worth checking if any filmora plan includes it, I don’t think they do but I’m not 100%. Sorry I can’t be more accurate.
Very Useful video ❤️
Thankyou. I appreciate the feedback.
I use Filmora too. 13 is a big let down. You can get better resources for free than the ai features. They didn't fix any of the issues from 12 and I cannot get a screen recording to add from the timeline in 13. Great video! New subscriber.
Thankyou for the feedback and the subscribe 🙌
Sorry 13 hasn’t been better for you 🙁. I did wonder if I was being way too harsh but it doesn’t sound like it. Hopefully they fix some of the issues you’ve mentioned soon.

What is the best one time payment video/photo editor with ai in your opinion?
I think there are diff options for video and photo. Ai is extremely good at photo, look at midjourney, mind blowing.
It isn’t quite there with video. I’ve seen some stunning stuff with runway but it isn’t a video editor.
I will release a video this week explaining why I still recommend filmora. But not for the AI. I think they have chased AI functionality to no real benefit.
But there isn’t anything I’ve seen better tbh. Stay tuned and I will create a few videos showing why I still recommend filmora.
Thanks for the video. I have version 12. In version 13, can I export a clip in ProRes format so that it will carry alpha for a transparent background? In 12 I have to awkwardly export in webm format and then use a converter to get my masked clip in ProRes so that the background is transparent.
Hey. Got to be honest I know very little about formats capable of this. Just looked in the export options and I don’t see ProRes. There is Webm and GoPro Cineform that both have options to export the alpha channel. Sounds like you’ve used webm before. Is the GoPro format any better?
Thanks for the response. GoPro format export was strangely removed sometime in version 12. The reason this is an important feature is to be able to save meticulously masked clips to be used in other projects outside of Filmora. ProRes4444 carries alpha (transparency created from masking), so it doesn't need conversion. There are fairly easy workarounds using other apps but it would be cool if Filmora could become my all-in-one. You've confirmed my thought. Thanks. @@JonDavis
@ruminator_2030 no problem at all
Hi Jon love your videos what app did you use the make the filmora vidoe with OBS??...
Hey thanks for the feedback. I use a combo. Always used filmora for everything but animations. I’ve started using camtasia for screen recordings. Mainly because a) that’s its strength b) I’m creating content about filmora and trying to create screen recordings of filmora using filmora goes a bit to inception like and causes issues 🙂 filmora can do screen recordings too.
Did you use Camtasia to produce this video?
Yeah. I’ve started using camtasia for screen recordings and then export to filmora for everything else. I don’t like doing the full edit in camtasia but I much prefer the screen recording. Do you use it?
Hi there - Can I ask a question please - you mentioned descript as a tool that you use. I am wondering how you interface descript and filmora so that you can have the separate face bubble in filmora on the timeline? Does descript export them as separate items once cleaned up? THANKS for your kind reply. Good videos
Hi, firstly thankyou for watching and the feedback. Descript can be used for screen recording in the same way filmora can be used. If you did want to use descript but for whatever reason then import into filmora, if you want a separate track in filmora you would need to find a way of exporting the face part and the screen part as separate videos. Whereas if you recorded on filmora it would create them separately anyway (if you choose the option).
Currently I’m actually using camtasia for a lot of my screen recordings. Then importing the results into filmora where I then tidy up and add all my talking head sections. This isn’t exactly necessary, a lot can be done in filmora, there’s just a few screen recording features I like camtasia for (though wouldn’t do my videos completely in it)
I put this software on my computer and have to do a system recovery to get it completely removed. Right away after installing you are hit with upgrading for more money...
Wow, sorry to hear it bricked your computer. Cost depends on your current licence, though a few people on the comments have had issues even with a lifetime. Mine recognised the listened licence and went through fortunately but I do think they should be clearer with the licensing model and upgrade implications. Thanks for the feedback and hope you are back up and running again
Hopefully they will improve certain KI-stuff, which doesn't work properly yet,,,it's a lot just about marketing...I use davinci normally... good review anyway...
Yeah I hope so. I’ve always found them good so they will get there. I think a lot of companies are in an AI race and heavy on the marketing at the moment. At least they are trying I guess! Thanks for watching and for the feedback.
after producing the text to video AI script myself - all I wanted it to do was generate the video. It kept crashing till I gave up!
Poor!
Sorry to hear! Yeah it’s not a great feature at the moment imo
using invedio for the time being.Shame! was excited about the feature@@JonDavis
It states you can use the music "if you have an active subscription". What happens if you stop subscribing?
Actually couldn’t tell you 100% but I will look into it. I’ve never had a strike for using filmora music (the standard free stuff) but I did hear of issues a year or so ago.
Most music subs whitelist your channel, filmora don’t as standard, possibly they do with the extra effect subscriptions?
Personally I use a different service that I find has more choice and a whitelisting on the account.
I’ve got a video in my back catalog for it, lemme know if you want me to dig out the link
Yes, please.
that could be helpful, thanks.@@JonDavis
Here you go. I’ve had no issues with these. If you use it for free you need to make sure you add the credit in your description. If you take a paid plan you don’t need to as you just whitelist your channel.

@Create with Jon. Thanks Doese everything inside this tool has commercial use and royalty free for TH-cam monetization?
Hey. So, from what I’ve read yes it’s ok. But…. I’m always wary with music. I’ve seen filmora users (and other subscription services) get hit in the past. So I would always apply caution. Personally I use a service called uppbeat and whitelist my channel with them. I’ve a video showing them if you need it.
@@JonDavis What is the title of that video so i can watch? I want to start my youtube channel but the only challenge is video editing.
I hired editors from upwork but it was disappointing. Do you know a good ai tool that can do the job so you don't need to be depended on the video editors?
I did try invideo ai and fliki ai but they are not good for tutorial and educational videos. They are just good for story telling niche.
And tools like filmoro, capcut and premiere pro are time consuming.
@mania7927 here’s the video : AMAZING Audio Solution for Small TH-camrs: Uppbeat
th-cam.com/video/7X6ijCverJw/w-d-xo.html
I feel your pain. Sadly there isn’t any tooling I have seen. Most stuff that promises ai editing is garbage.
The choices are to outsource or put the time in yourself.
It is time consuming though. I think once you find a good editor it’s worth keeping them close. But it can be hard work finding one. I’ve tried a few and end up doing it myself. Especially early on when you may not earn enough to cover costs of a good editor.
I would learn the basics. Keep it simple and consistent.
TH-cam is favouring less edited content at the moment. As long as your message is on point and you only say what needs to be said etc
Good luck though. Definitely an area a lot of us struggle with
@@JonDavis Thanks for your advice. Well the problem i faced with editors was accuracy level. They did not read the instructions correctly and messed up the final result.
Anyway, i know how to edit, but the only problem was gathering the footage which is time consuming.
Do you know two good ai tools for bulk ai image and video generation? because i break down the script into 10 words or 20 words by chat gpt and ask for giving prompt for each peace. Now i want to create all footage in bulk so at least save time and make the videos either myself or outsource it while providing the footage myself to the editor.
@mania7927 i like midjourney for images. ChatGPT can create them to now. Try runway for short video.
Canva are using dall-e for text to image, and partnered with runway for text to video. It’s early days so not quite there yet. But could be promising.
I tried to cancel my subscription but failed and then they charged me for the new year. when i asked for a refund, they denied me even though it took the money i was going to buy food. I told them this and they threw the policy at me. I will never re up my subscription. I would have when i could afford to, but they are heartless.
Sorry to hear this 😟
Which feature do you think is most useful to you?
the masking looks useful and easier than davinci. looking forward to testing it.
I see a lot of people rave about davinci but I’ve never been able to get past 5 mins of using it, I usually end up back with filmora.
@@JonDavis big learning curve. filmora is tons easier. if you don't need mega professional stuff or some specific feature I'd stick with filmora 😄
Agreed. Let me know how you get on with the new features. I’m hoping I haven’t been too harsh around them!
Filmora is a professional's delight.
It would be nice to even get the software but wondershare canceled lifetime licenses again..
Have you raised it with them? I’m on the grandfathered lifetime license and it updated without any issue. I haven’t heard much in the community of any issues so assumed all was good this time (after the last fiasco!)
@@JonDavis I've been speaking with the customer service since the Filmora 13 was released but with poor results. They say that because my lifetime license was bought after the Filmora 10 was released I'm not eligible for free Filmora 13 upgrade/update which is kind strange because I didn't have to pay for the Filmora 12 upgrade/update and the terms say that my lifetime license gives me free acces to all future updates.
I tried the free version and I just wanted to test on version 13. My intention was to put on captions on videos without captions. Every time I did (about 4 times) it put watermarks on the videos. After 4 tries it said I ran out of "credits"? What does that mean? What's the use of putting watermarks when it also has credits? I like the software, considering of buying, but after it limited my trials, I am not sure about purchasing it. I want to do a few dozen videos and I am afraid it might have daily limitations.
I think the free version is why it watermarks. The credits will be for the captions. They use credits for some of their AI features. I don’t like that to be honest. I know why a lot of software companies do it and they may get charged if over used. But captions shouldn’t fall under that. I would just base it on whether you like the feel of the software. I would recommend it but I don’t see the point in some of the ai stuff
Hi thank you Jon, very informative and clear. You mentioned that TH-cam paid customers has a feature for a more natural sounding text to speech, What paid YT plan is that? I know of TH-cam Light and TH-cam Premium which is primarily to view ad free video. Is it one of those plans or is there another plan specifically to edit YT videos? Thanks
Thankyou! I’m not sure what you mean. What’s the timestamp where I say this? There are other apps that are better like elevenlabs and murf
Are the ai generated videos copyright free?
I don't want to say 100% as i don't know, but I think AI generated content is contentious. Technically i have been told that it is, as its original, but I am not 100% so would so some research
I've used the filmora 13's, voice to text and text to voice AI and the only way to accurately describe them is that they are garbage. The conversion accuracy would in my opinion be around 60% if that. I moved away from descript as I thought I wouldn't need it now that I have filmora 13, but filmora 13 doesn't come close. Using filmora's AI should be taken to mean Awfully Incompetent. Hopefully they will fix it, descript has shown it's possible. Filmora's version is so bad it should never have been released.
Thanks for sharing and watching. Descript is an excellent tool, that I personally think lacks where filmora is good with basic editing. I think they all try to do too much, which takes the focus away from what they are good at. Hopefully they can improve these ai functions!
AI vocal remover is very bad mate! Is working but you can't do nothing with that quality.
Yeah my testing wasn’t great. But I would add, another TH-camr I know had some messy audio with background noise. She used that feature and was really pleased with how it cleaned it up. So some use, but it’s not quite at the point where it cleanly strips audio and vocal let’s say on a music track.
Thanks for watching and for the feedback btw.
13 is a mess. I can’t find anything anymore
Anything I can help with? One thing I did with me, which I didn’t mention in the video, it cleared all my favourites which was annoying
@@JonDavis yes this!! Everything is just gone. All my saved effects, customs just vanished lol. It took me 40 min last night to find my end screen I’ve used for 2 years lol.
@@thatdailymama oh no rubbish! One to note for future upgrades. I was annoyed but then convinced myself it was an involuntary clean up of things I haven’t used in ages. Who am I kidding though 😃
I really hate filmora now! I will never give them another dime! i have 11 and 12 and I refuse to go to 13. They have disabled many transitions, my quick text no longer works, much of the stock media is disabled, and I feel like they are punishing me for not upgrading. If they arent going to upgrade 12 for free, I wish they would just leave it alone and not tamper with it in any way. They also do other slimey things, and I want to make a video against them, but that doesn't work with my platform! Sorry for the rant, but I'm so frustrated, and I'm ready to ditch filmora once and for all. If anyone has suggestions for the best replacement, let me know plz! I suspect filmora 13 is a big flop that no one wants to pay for, and I wonder if others have the same problems. Sorry again for the rant!
It’s ok to rant especially when your needs aren’t met. I’m sorry to hear. If you have 12 and you aren’t on lifetime then I wouldn’t necessarily upgrade. There are a few little touches like seperate tracks for webcam. But no real need to grab the AI stuff. What I didn’t mention as I assumed it was just my setup, most of my preferences were lost and I’ve had to reset my favourites etc. Bit of a pain but I used it to have a clean up.
Aside from the features not being ready, I actually do still recommend filmora. But I do hear good things about resolve if you require an alternative.
Hope you get sorted soon
The Android app doesn't appeal to me. It's unintuitive.
What apps do you like? Personally for phone editing i always revert to capcut
I have been using Filmora for about three days, and I am quite disappointed. Despite numerous videos praising the software, my experience doesn't match the hype. I attempted to contact support but was unsuccessful. The text-to-video feature was a confusing mess, and overall, the artificial intelligence tools seem underdeveloped. It's disheartening that this software received so much hype, as the reality doesn't live up to expectations.
Sorry to hear your experience. I don’t think the ai features are worth it. Though I do like/ use filmora as an editor and it’s always served me well (see other videos). But I think this is the issue when they heavily advertise ai features that just aren’t there. Will leave disappointed customers.
any video editor here that can guide me about how to get video editing work
In terms of working as a video editor, I always like content @sampdbiz puts out.
AI smart masking also bad !!
Yup can’t disagree with you! Hopefully a starting point to improve on.
Yes, it's been quite frustrating. For instance, there was a line in the background that extended from my head, and the software couldn't remove it. When I attempted to remove it manually, it turned into a cumbersome task. It's truly disappointing. The only silver lining is that I was conducting a trial before committing to a purchase, mainly due to the unreliable reviews on certain platforms, like TH-cam, from other creators who hyped it up.
BUGS REPORTED NOT FIXED FOR OVER A YEAR !
That’s poor. I was focused on the new features, didn’t realise that was the case with existing bugs. What bugs in particular are the issue?
I thought it was good
Thankyou for the feedback. What is your favourite feature?
Crap
Horrible program. Bad smart cut out feature and other features, lots of bugs in the software. Bad support team. I cant even delete that pos from my computer now. Dont waste your money. Look for reputable brands.
