But thats the desktop version.
Youre even allowed to use many of the features, and edit projects without giving Wondershare a cent.
There are, however, some limitations.
Filmora offers you plenty of options on launch, or just tap on ‘New Project’ to get started
For instance, there will be a Wondershare Filmora logo applied to the lower right of all your projects.
Thats quite a let down.
Mobile editors weve explored in the past all allow 1080p exports.
Your exporting options are limited to 720p unless you subscribe
Some even let you choose higher resolutions, although most charge for that.
Limiting the resolution to that extent is not a good point.
A perpetual license is also available, so the software is yours for a one-off fee.
Why does a video editor need to know what you’re doing on your device outside of the app?
We especially like the cross-platform license.
The same applies for extra cloudstorage storage, up to 100GB.
Frankly, its a trend we do not like.
Editing works great and is well implemented, whichever device you’re using
Next, Filmora tries to entice you to purchase a subscription, or do a free 3-day trial.
There is no way to add to that selection afterwards, like so many other apps allow you to.
We question this artificial restriction and wonder what Wondershare does with its access to all your personal media.

Wondershare Filmora: Video editing
Filmora works great whether youre using a phone or tablet.
However, phones only work in portrait, but tablets can be used in any orientation.
All the tools you need can be found at the bottom of the screen.
Replacing the sky was surprisingly effective in our tests
If you dont see what youre after, scroll left or right to reveal more options.
A large preview of your project can be seen at the top, with the timeline in the middle.
As youd expect, everything is controlled via touch.
The Filters feature is filled with numerous presets and changeable parameters
Want to trim a clip?
Tap on it in the timeline, then tap and drag its end point inwards.
Want to add a transition?
Tap on the one you like, tap on the tick button and youre done.
Filmora offers you various options to do this.
Its a very complete set of tools.
Also, many tools dont offer you any options.
Its an all or nothing kind of deal.
On the other hand, you have extensive control over color grading.
You win some, you lose some.
Just a shame about the potential privacy intrusion.
