- Easy to use & beginners friendly
Another advantage of using filmora is that it is very easy to use and also very beginner friendly as a matter of fact that is a very user friendly dashboard and interface and you can easily import all the files like video files and audio files from your computer to the software with drag and drop feature, you can also find all the important features like adding text transitions elements effects color correction adding audio and many more right on the dashboard itself so especially for beginners for trying out video editing or for content creators who want to create content online on social media platform or YouTube, this is a great software because it is not only cheap but also very beginner friendly.

You can also download the mobile version of the filmora app which is filmora go on app Store and Google Play Store, even though the dashboard of both mobile app and desktop app are pretty similar but you cannot utilize all the features of filmora desktop version in the mobile version of filmora go & you cannot download filmora on Linux operating system whatsoever.
- Lots of tutorials online
And as i mentioned earlier that there are more than hundred million users of filmora, and it is a very powerful and popular video editing software for beginners so you can also find lots of plenty of tutorials online on YouTube and on udemy to learn how to use the software and you can also find out lots of articles online if you just do some Google search and comparative to other video editing softwares like final cut Pro and Adobe premiere Pro it is actually easy to use filmora and you can learn video editing in less than one week using filmora because it is very beginner friendly.
- Great audio editing features
Audio is an important element of a video file and using filmora video editing software you can also edit the audio file, for example some amazing audio editing features available in filmora are, audio visualiser, auto beat sync, audio synchronization, audio ducking silent detection & more.
Apart from this you can also remove the audio file from your primary video file and attach a secondary audio file to your video and remove all the noise from the audio, you can also add a soundtrack to your video to make your videos interesting and engaging, you can also convert your speech into text and vice versa as subtitles and captions.

These are all the advantages of using filmora.
Cons of filmora
- Software lags sometimes
One of the main disadvantages of using filmora is that sometimes when you are using the software and editing any video or especially any high quality video like HD or 4K then the software can get lags sometimes, if you want to edit high quality videos in high resolution like 4K or HD then you obviously need high specifications of your computer like a 8GB RAM or higher processor like i5 but sometimes I have observed that even with higher specifications the software lags here and there so this is a small disadvantage.
- Not good for advanced video editing
Another disadvantage of using filmora is that it is focused on providing lots of features and ideal video editing software for beginners not for advanced editors so if you want advanced video editing features like those you find in Adobe premiere Pro then you will be disappointed because filmora is for beginners and even though in filmora 11, many new features are introduced but still you won’t get advanced video editing options and if you want to make a career in video editing you will need to switch to advanced softwares like premiere Pro & Apple final cut Pro.
- Watermark on free videos
Another disadvantage is that, if you download filmora on your windows or macbook and edit videos for free then after you export the video file and download it on your computer then you will see some watermark of filmora on the video so if you want to remove the watermark then obviously you will need to purchase the premium subscription.
These are all the advantages and disadvantages of using filmora.
