- It has an in-built screen recorder which will allow you to record the screen in your computer or mobile device. This feature can be helpful to create any education videos or demos.
- The Picture in Picture feature is a very cool technique to layer multiple video clips and create amazing effects.
- You can use the Green screen feature and create special effects using the Chroma Keys. You can also use the split screen to move two or more clips simultaneously.

- The video stabilization features helps to remove any shakes or distortions caused during video recording. You can also select from wide range of colour grading presets available inside the app.
Limitations:
- Some effects are not available with respect to text which could have been better. For example, there are no options to make the text move from right to left and to create shapes along with animation. Also you can’t make the shapes move while your video is running.
- Also there are no advanced options like adding 3D objects and custom animation to your video clips. There is no 360 degree video editing feature available in this software.
Verdict:
Filmora is amazing video editing software which is suitable for novice users and amateurs. But it lacks some advanced features like 360 degree video editing and custom animations which will be required by professionals. There are plenty of cool effects available in Filmora’s Effect store and they keep adding more effects every month. It has all the essential tools and any beginner can learn to use it easily.
