User Interface

Filmora separates project setup from the editing workspace.

Startup Window

The startup window gives you access to projects and several AI tools.

The left sidebar contains five options:

• Create Project
• Filmora Cloud
• Creator Hub
• Toolbox
• Refer a Friend

From the Create Project tab, you can access your recent projects and view them in list or thumbnail mode. You can also select the project’s aspect ratio before you start.

To start editing from scratch, click on the “Create Project” button in the Create Project panel. Below that, you will find different options like AI Extend, Audio to Video, AI Idea to Video, Smart Short Clips, Smart Scene Cut, and more.

Editing Window

Clicking Create Project opens the editing workspace. It has a media library, preview panel, and timeline, along with controls for effects, audio, titles, and other adjustments. To learn more about Filmora’s editing capabilities, consider reading our Wondershare Filmora review.

Import your files, place them on the timeline, and make your cuts, trims, and other edits. The AI tools described below can help with specific tasks, but you should still review their results.

Wondershare Filmora 16: Features

Basic Video Editing Features

Filmora covers cutting, trimming, effects, transitions, color adjustments, and green-screen editing. You can also change the workspace layout to suit the task.

Advanced Video Editing Features

For more detailed edits, Filmora includes adjustment layers, motion tracking, speed ramping, and keyframes.

Adjustment Layer

An adjustment layer lets you apply the same effects to multiple clips beneath it. It is located under the Editing Presets tab, along with Compound Clip and Custom Color Layer.

Motion Tracking

This feature lets objects like stickers or titles move with a selected subject in the video.

Speed Ramping

Speed ramping changes playback speed within a clip, creating transitions between slower and faster sections.

Keyframing

Keyframes let you change properties such as position, scale, and opacity over time to create animations.

AI Features

Filmora includes AI tools that can reduce manual editing work. Some tools use AI credits, so check your selected plan and credit balance.

AI Extend

AI Extend generates additional footage before or after a video clip. Select the AI Extend icon above the timeline, drag the clip edge in the direction you want to extend, then enter a prompt and choose the available settings. Preview the generated section before using it in your edit.

Smart Short Clips

AI finds useful moments in longer videos and prepares short clips. Review the suggested cuts and captions before exporting.

AI Video Enhancer

Improve clarity and detail in low-quality footage. Results depend on the source clip.

AI Translation

Translate video speech and subtitles into supported languages. Check the available source and target languages in the tool before starting.

New Features in Filmora 16

Camera Tracking

It tracks a selected subject and adjusts the framing to keep it in view as it moves, reducing the need for manual keyframes. It can help with vlogs, sports clips, and product shots.

Smart Media Bin

Smart Media Bin groups project media according to rules you choose, making relevant files easier to find. It organizes the media within Filmora rather than moving the original files on your drive.

Color Mask

The latest release also includes the Color Mask feature located in the properties panel. It lets you mask areas of your video with a pen tool, rectangle, ellipse, or AI Mask option. AI Mask worked quite well during our testing. Once you select an area, you can tweak its color, HSL, curves, and color wheels, and adjust HDR without affecting the rest of the frame.

Auto Color

Auto Color applies a color adjustment with one click. You can change its strength afterward.

Smart Text Correction

When enabled during speech-to-text conversion, this feature highlights possible subtitle errors and offers suggested corrections.

AI Media Analysis

AI Media Analysis identifies subjects, scenes, locations, and actions in selected videos and images. It generates keywords, descriptions, scores, and editing suggestions to help you review and find relevant media.

360° Video Reframing

Reframe panoramic footage into standard shots that you can edit on the timeline. On Windows, 360° editing requires Windows 10 or later and has additional hardware requirements.

Multi-Source Recording

Record your screen, camera, and audio sources together in one take.

Note: You can check all the new features on Filmora’s official changelog.

Editing Workflow

Filmora’s preview panels and compound clips help you work with longer or more complex projects.

Source & Timeline Preview Editing

Filmora includes two preview panels: the Source Monitor and the Timeline Monitor. When you select an effect or transition from the media library, it appears in the Source Monitor for a quick preview before being added to your project. If you decide to add it to the timeline, the result appears in the Timeline Monitor, making it easy to view your edits on the go.

Dual Timeline Editing with Compound Clips

When you create a Compound Clip, it appears in your media library, and double-clicking it opens a new timeline tab for editing.

You can easily switch between the main timeline and any Compound Clip tab. You can also open two timelines at once. To activate, drag a Compound Clip tab into the timeline panel.

You can also export any timeline directly by right-clicking the tab or using the three-dot menu and selecting Export Current Timeline to choose your required format.

Multiple Export Options

Filmora offers multiple ways to export your finished edit.

• You can save the finished video to your local drive in formats such as MP4, AVI, MOV, MKV, 3GP, MPEG-2, WEBM, and GIF.
• It also offers presets for devices such as iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, PS4, Google Pixel, Samsung Galaxy, and Smart TVs.
• You can also burn a DVD or share directly to platforms like YouTube, Vimeo, and TikTok.

Filmora 16 lets you select multiple export presets to create different versions of the same edit in one batch. Configure and check each selected preset before exporting. Availability depends on your hardware.

Customer Support

Wondershare provides help through its support center, chat, 24/7 AI phone support, guides, tutorials, and FAQs. Use the Feedback option in Filmora to report a technical issue or send a suggestion.
