THE BIG PICTURE
Filmora is Wondershare's video-editing application for assembling footage, shaping a story and preparing videos for publication. Its desktop version combines a multi-track timeline with color, sound, caption and recording tools. Filmora 16 also adds AI assistance for organizing media, adjusting footage and creating material that can be edited alongside imported clips. Templates and guided controls give beginners a starting point, while keyframes and other timeline controls support more detailed edits.
A typical project moves from importing and selecting clips to cutting, refining picture and audio, adding titles or effects, and exporting. AI features can help with repetitive stages such as transcription, finding useful footage and cleaning up sound. Users can review and revise those results in the same editing workspace before producing the final video.
Desktop editions are available for Windows and macOS, with companion apps for iOS, iPadOS and Android. Filmora says its cross-platform subscription lets one person use the same account across supported devices. The free edition can be downloaded to try the editor, but its exports carry a watermark. Removing that watermark requires a paid plan, and access to individual AI features or creative assets may have separate plan requirements.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
Get to know the capabilities. Find your own way to use them.

Supports reframing for different aspect ratios, translation for new audiences, and exporting multiple versions to multiple destinations from the same project. It can import supported XML timelines and export timelines as Final Cut Pro 7 XML for continued work in another editor, and offers Batch Export for queuing multiple video versions.
MADE FOR YOUR WORKFLOW

Turn everyday footage, travel clips, and longer recordings into polished stories and short-form versions for different platforms, using Smart Short Clips, Auto Reframe, and Video Templates.
YOUR FIRST STEPS
Launch the video editing software and start a new project. Import media files from your computer, camera, phone, or other sources, or use built-in resources to begin editing.
Cut, crop, and trim clips, then drag and drop elements, text, audio, effects, stickers, and AI captions onto the timeline to build the story.
Use color correction and grading, audio tools such as denoise and ducking, and enhancement features to clean up and polish the edit.
Add titles and on-screen text, generate captions from speech with speech-to-text, review suggested corrections, and manage subtitles on a dedicated subtitle track.
Preview the video and finalize changes, then export the finished files, use batch export for multiple versions, or share directly to social media such as YouTube.

Filmora has Windows and macOS desktop editions, plus apps for Android, iPhone and iPad. The official PC page lists 64-bit Windows 7, 8.1, 10 and 11. Before installing, check Filmora's current technical specifications for your device and operating-system version.

Check the license of each resource. Filmora permits commercial use of assets carrying its commercial-use label, including qualifying AI Music. Its current FAQ places AI images, stickers, text-to-video output and AI sound effects in the non-commercial category because of uncertainty around training-material rights. Conventional assets also need the appropriate commercial-use designation. This is Filmora's stated policy; consult the current asset license for your project.
