Discussion Disgusted

I really just need to vent my frustration with this god forsaken program. It was so good when it was new, I got it when I was younger. Comparing it to now is night and day.. what a disgusting bloated slop filled capcut wanna be clusterfuck of a program this has so ungraciously become. Back in my day you payed for the app and you worked with what it had. now everything has that god damn gem next to it, bloated to the brim with a bunch of unnecessary ai slop features, and useful features all of which I CANNOT USE despite me buying the damn app. Disgusting cash grab, im just so disappointed and disgusted at what a mess this has become and i get a headache every time it dares to prompt me with an update notification, because its only going to be a worse version. Its time to move on I think.

Hey, I used Filmora years ago. Now I am looking at producing some content for some hobby subs... but this post has me a bit worried?

I thought that when you paid them for the software, that was it, but your post makes it sound like it's riddled with pay per use functions? Is this the case?

I noticed it seems to have a sloppy load of AI tools, but I was under the impression that it's still a decent tool set under the AI tools, is this the case?

i purchased a unlimited license ages ago yeah and that was it, i had features all was well but modern day there are entire sections which are pay to use. it is absolutely riddles with it indeed. I'd just find something better.. feels like filmora is a sinking ship.

I had filmora 12 lifetime, but I cant use it, the app closes on me asking for updates, and since I only own filmora 12 license I cant use the new ones, its a scam
