Wondershare Filmora for Mac10.1.7

I don't understand all the negative reviews for Filmora. I purchased this software long ago, when it was still iSkySoft Video Editor. Support at Wondershare was awesome, and they honored my previous license when it became Wondershare Filmora. I'd been looking forever for a video editor that works the way that my brain expects a video editor to work. I'd tried all the big ones, even FC, but none of them worked the way I wanted them to. Filmora does. Editing is linear and layering video, images, and audio just works flawlessly. It imports a ridiculous amount of file formats (I haven't found one it can't handle yet), editing is quick, there's a plethora of free, downloadable transitions and elements, and file export times are fast even on my elderly mid-2012 MacBook Pro. The thing I like most about it, though? No media library! So many editors, like iMovie, require your videos be stored in a "media library" from which to choose them from. Filmora lets you drag media from anywhere. I can compile a video from many disparate folders and file formats and I don't have to worry about building a media library to store my components. It's one of my favorite parts of the software. We do a podcast that occasionally has video editions, and Filmora is my go-to. It's my absolute favorite video editor, hands down. Now... let's just hope they don't change it. AJH

This App leaves a lot to be desired. Constantly does not recognize the target disc to burn a completed project. Attempts to contact the support group has gone nowehere. Leave messages, no one responds and there is no directions for how to overcome this problem. I am really sorry I wasted my money.

The current version is 8.0.0

I downloaded it & tried to import a file—failed. I tried a different file, then a different format, a completely different file type…everything I tried to open failed. So, while the app ran, it didn’t do anything. It was a complete waste of time from learning of it to deleting it, and the hierarchy of 7 folders it left in my movies folder. So, avoid & try Shotcut which at least works: I was able to generate a quick file my first use of the app in about 10 minutes with trimming and moving audio & video, unlike this app which took me 15 minutes to give up on.

I think the app is superb and stands far above iMovie and FinalCut Pro in terms of usability.

Total scam...! Do not put your money down on this.

Unfortunately there is not a zero star rating for this china scamware.
