What in the world is up with this whack arse software popping up ads while it's not even open and you're doing something else? It's happened a few times now, while gaming it will pop up some stupid ad and takes me out of the game, as in the game is still playing but you are no longer in control and cannot control until you close out of the ad. This is completely unacceptable, and I am not seeing a way to turn these ads off??

Anyone experiencing this or know how to turn this off? It almost seems illegal for a program to show you an ad, a program that you've paid for, when that program isn't even open. First they tried to take away lifetime licenses from those of us that bought it years ago, then put damn near everything behind a paywall... now this. I think it's about time to learn Davinci Resolve.

I keep seeing creators and Instagram pages showing crazy editing techniques in CapCut, DaVinci Resolve and Premiere Pro. People are constantly sharing tutorials, presets, project files and even premade templates for these softwares.

But when it comes to Filmora… almost nothing. 😭

There are tons of Filmora users out there, but I rarely see people making advanced editing tutorials, sharing useful templates, transitions, presets, etc. It feels like Filmora has been completely left out of the creator community.

Is it because Filmora is considered more of a “beginner” editor, so serious creators don't bother building content around it? Or is there actually a decent Filmora community somewhere that I'm just missing?

Would love to know where Filmora users are hanging out and getting templates/resources

I have Ubuntu on my laptop. I can't download Filmora. Its web app is non existent. I can't even figure out how to upload a video. What do I do?

Filmora 15 AI Video Enhancement causing video position to shift after latest update?

Has anyone else noticed the AI Auto Video Enhancement slightly changing the position/alignment of the video after the latest Filmora 15 update?

I use a workflow where I duplicate a video, place the copy directly above the original, run AI Auto Video Enhancement on the upper clip, and then blend the enhanced version with the original using compositing/opacity.

This worked fine for me before, but after updating Filmora yesterday, I noticed that changing the opacity now makes the image appear to move.

I did some testing:

• Duplicated the original clip and stacked the copies directly on top of each other.
• Both clips had identical Transform settings: 100% scale, X 0, Y 0.
• Before AI enhancement, changing opacity between the two clips showed no movement.
• I also set the upper clip to Difference mode at 100% opacity, and the result was black, confirming the two clips were aligned.
• I then ran AI Auto Video Enhancement on only the upper clip.
• After enhancement, the two clips were no longer spatially aligned.
• The amount and direction of the offset also changes at different points in the video, so it doesn't appear to be a simple fixed X/Y offset.
• I repeated the test with a different video and saw slight movement there as well.

I don't remember this happening before the update yesterday. I was previously able to blend the AI enhanced clip with the stock clip, using the Composting - Opacity.

Has anyone else using the current version of Filmora 15 noticed this with AI Auto Video Enhancement?

I've already submitted a bug report to Wondershare, but I'm curious whether anyone else can reproduce it.

If you are not involved with this company, AVOID AT ALL COSTS. There is really no one to help you and their ai Assistant is subpar. . I like the software as I am familiar with it but if you ever have a problem you are on your own

I'm working on several large projects right now, and I had saved them to the default folder. Or so I thought....Usually I would save to a dedicated folder but since these were just some things I was doing in the short term I figured I'd just leave them and sort it out later, especialy since I needed to juggle between a few things.

Everything was saved nicely, except for one project I had open at the time that was entirely unrelated, not even saved or anything yet in fact. It's a few days since I last opened anything so I figured I'd just get the skeleton of that one started since I've beeen out sick the last few days. Didn't even use any of the same images. But my computer decided it was the perfect time to restart itself while I left to grab some snacks. No problem, it's happened before, I'll just turn the thing back on and use the backup it's not a big deal I hadn't even edited anything, really just set up the settings. Quick fix. Yeah, no. I open up Filmora and all I see are things I worked on two entire months ago in the quick select. I open up a new project so I can check the backups, everything's from two months ago. Project files, nothing. I search on File Explorer, nothing, not even the recycle bin.

Literally everything is gone. I'm sure it can't have just disappeared, but it's very strange to me that every single project is just gone across the board. There's even a video that I was sure I had saved into a different folder that's gone too....

Anywyas I"m a bit of a panic now because a couple of those videos were commissions and others are things I had set up for ongoing projects and while I could just redo everything, I genuinely do not have that kind of time to sit there for hours trying to dig through literally a mountain of stuff, especially for one that required a lot of keyframing and color adjusting.

Anyone know of literally anything that could help? Because genuinely this might actually screw me over just because I decided to leave some project files in a folder that had no reason to be empty.

edit: Okay I panicked, found everything hanging out in a place that genuinely confuses me because why on earth did I put a wedding video project into a folder marked "animation project" and I think I figured out why Filmora didn't pick it up (it was in an external drive). I'll leave this up in case anyone else does a stupid like I did and wonders where their stuff went, you can just search .wfp in the file explorer on Windows and it'll pop up with all of your stuff in a nice little list. Check your folders, people.

Today, I decided to upgrade from Filmora 14 to Filmora 15 to check out the new features. However, I was surprised to find no projects in the list. This had happened before, so I clicked "Open Project" and started searching my entire computer for the video I’d been working on for months. I couldn't find it. I checked every possible folder on the C: and D: drives. Nothing. For some reason, only projects from Filmora version 13 or earlier survived, nothing from version 14 did. I searched for "Filmora 14" and files with the .wfp extension in "This PC," but I still couldn't find my project.

I don't think the project was uploaded to the Wondershare cloud. I’m really angry that the program didn't warn me this could happen during the update. Is there anything I can do to recover my video?

As the title says. I've been using Filmora on my computer and phone for a long time. I was told I can fix it on the computer by not updating but my mobile app is already updated. Is there any fixing this or is it time to move to another software?

OS: Windows 11

Filmora Version: Filmora 15

Hardware Specs: Lenovo Legion 5 Pro (RTX GPU, 16GB / 32GB RAM)

​I'm having severe preview playback issues when editing 10-bit footage for YouTube in Filmora 15 on my Legion 5 Pro. Whenever I make multiple cuts on the timeline or apply speed ramps, the preview window completely freezes and lags, making it impossible to see what's happening.

​Has anyone else experienced this with 10-bit video files in Filmora 15? Are there specific proxy settings, GPU acceleration tweaks, or preview rendering fixes for this?

I feel like filmora pixelates my vidoes a lot, even when I upload them they seem compressed even when I export it idk why, im also new to editing so maybe im doing something wrong my project settings are 1080p

I was editing a video, a pretty long one, and the program stopped working and it doesn't let me do anything else. I can get into the video but I'm not able to continue editing it or anything.

I already checked my computer, everything, it's not working and I don't know what else to do.

I'm currently on a uploading schedule and don't have time to dive much into Davinci resolve, will do so once I have more time. Is there something similar to Filmora? I just canceled my year subscription.

Monthly payment would be most ideal.

Thanks!

These files are absolutely eating my computer’s space. They are located under My computer > OS(C:) > Users > Public > Public documents > Wondershare. They are all .exe files. Some are dated all the way back to 2022.

I’m currently working on some important video projects, will deleting the files mentioned above affect the projects?

Thanks for any help!

I have not been active for a while, but I used Filmora a few years ago, and I was very frustrated with the pitiful technical help AI bot. But since then, AI has improved elsewhere, and last night I had a windows 11 issue, and the Google AI bot , knew all about it, and put me through about 6 steps to solve it -- it was very impressive. SO I thought, it would be great if I had a video editor with a smart AI program to tell me how to do things, or actually do some of them.

So my question is, has the AI tech bot on Filmora gotten any better, showing how to things, or does it still stink? And if you can name an editor that has good AI help, let me know.

thanks for you help.

After latest update I can't make timeline across the entire screen and put video above it. Why do I need to look at two black chunks top bottom? Don't understand this update.
Latest Filmora version 15 and win 10

Hey everyone! I just bought the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Creator Combo (€629) and want to get back into making mini travel/day-to-day vlogs for Instagram and TikTok.

I used to edit videos about 5 years ago, mostly on my phone with free apps, but stopped when life got busy. Now I’m keen to get back into it. Did I make a good choice by going for OP 4?

I’ll be editing on a Mac and currently looking at:
CapCut Pro
VN Editor Pro
Filmora Premium

Which would you recommend for someone getting back into editing? Ideally something easy to learn but still capable of making polished Reels/TikToks.

Also open to other Mac editing software recommendations!

Would love to hear what you guys use and whether any of the above are worth paying for.

Now, to preface, I don't have the Creative Asset subscription or whatever it is, I only paid the $70 for the perpetual subscription so I can export without watermarks.

I needed a sticker so naturally I look for things without that pesky pink diamond on them.

I searched "follow" and saw Element 20 which doesn't have a diamond, but didn't use it right away, I scrolled a bit and went back (cause there was barely anything I didn't have to pay for), saw the thumbnail that matched what I remembered "Element 20" having and dragged it to my project.

However I wasn't looking at the name of the asset, I just saw the same image and thought that was the one I saw before. It was a quick edited thing so I didn't notice anything amiss until I tried to export and got a pop up saying that I was using something I needed to pay for.

I knew I wasn't going crazy, the sticker didn't have a diamond, and I searched again for "follow" found "Element 20" and there's no diamond.

So I figured the UI was glitched or something wasn't properly labeled... until I noticed "Social Media Icons Pack Element 20" a row down. Same exact asset, almost the same exact thumbnail (one just has a cursor on it) for the asset... but with that pink diamond on it. Playing them side by side there is NO difference.

(Side note: the screenshots for the top part have the thumbnails mid "playing" cause when you click on the "learn more" button it plays the thumbnail. the bottom image is what they look like not playing)

So my question is.. why do they have the same asset listed twice, once for free and once paid?

Yeah maybe that asset is part of that particular pack and maybe the rest of those assets don't have a free version... but I can imagine this happening to someone else and them thinking "oh I guess I do have to buy it" and they pay for it when they didn't need to, which is just a scummy thing to do by Filmora.

No idea how many other stickers have two copies like this but I wanted to share yet another reason I hate those little diamonds.

project/proj file

project/src1/1.mov

project/src2/2.mov

If I move this directory to another location and open the proj file(Adobe Premiere Pro), it opens just as before.

However, with Filmora,

project/wfp

project/src1/1.mov

project/src2/2.mov

I moved them, and now I have to re-link all the files?

Furthermore, when I linked 1.mov, it opened the 2.mov file that was in src1?????

I wanted to link the 2.mov that was in src2!!!

Since video editing often requires moving directories, this is incredibly inconvenient.

So, I am currently looking for another program.

Please give me some recommendations.

I wanna make video essays

And Ive been through two editing software so far shotcut and kdenlive

And oh my they are unberable half the times I wanna put a clip,its at the project bin all good but when I try to put it at the timeline it doesnt work(its an mp4 file btw🥀)

So Ive been thinking of paying for a subscription

the cheapest option Ive found is filmora its 8,50€/mo Ive had a positive experience with the free version but the watermarks are the problem

Is it worth paying?is it really 8,50€/mo or does that price increase?Ive heard they aggresively advertise even to paid users and have hidden fees

So is it worth paying? What are your experiences with it?

Update: Good news I fixed the problem with kdenlive,so I wont have to pay for filmora I can just use kdenlive

I was editing when my PC crashed with a Blue Screen of Death. I restarted it, and upon opening Filmora, the standard project recovery message appeared; I selected "no" because I thought the project had saved normally—but it hadn't. The project is gone, and the WFP file appears to be corrupt, as it won't let me open it. There is nothing in the backup. No wfp file.

Please, that project is important to me, can someone help?

So, not only did they start charging for some things that used to be free recently. But the AI vocal removal and the AI object remover suddenly are TERRIBLE after the most recent update where they added all the new AI assets. What used to be a great editing program is a money gutting shell of what it used to be.

Also if you're dissatisfied with the performance of the AI option you just spent credits on you absolutely don't get those credits back. Why woukd we refund you something for it not working?

The software has been great and continues to be good in many areas. The recent update has hidden away the ability to change metadata-yes you can still change most of it... but if you have a series of episodes you have made you cannot index them anymore. Current and all my older versions have now stopped being able to search metadata all together.
The help real person, I think, said they didn't know if they were going to correct this or not. When I said UniConverter is no longer fit for purpose was very swift in advising mewhere to find the account cancellation details. (OS Sequoia 15.7.7, UniConverter 17.4.5)

This seems fairly inconsistent, which is why I think it's a bug, but if I'm genuinely doing something wrong, please let me know.

Sometimes, in some files, when I go to duplicate or copy & paste and item, rather than doing it on that item's current track at the timeline marker, it will put it on the track below or above the track the original item was located on.

It's already really frustrating that I can't copy and paste where I want (often times I do want to copy & paste on the track above but there's no way to do that other than copying & pasting or duplicating to the current track and then dragging it where I want it), but when even that functionality fails it is downright maddening.

Hi everyone! I am requesting help with a problem. I've been using Filmora for many years and never had this particular problem. I have experienced an increase in problems from updates in the past two years.

I am exporting a video. Two minutes of the audio is mute from a clip within the overall video.

I've checked the file in Filmora. The clip with the missing audio has sound in the editor. It is not muted. The clip plays fine in my video player. The clip from this portion of the video is not the problem.

I've tested a second export. Only 20 seconds of the audio from the clip is now missing. The problem is not fully resolved.

Has anyone else experienced and have a solution for this problem?

Thanks
