If you’re using MacOS, the most popular video-editing apps must be iMovie and Final Cut Pro. iMovie is free but it lacks a lot of advanced features. On the other hand, Final Cut Pro could set you back $300, which is out of budget of most average users. That’s the reason why I was excited to try the Wondershare Filmora app for Mac, it is totally free to use will all the premium features of paid plans.

- Wondershare Filmora is an easy-to-use yet powerful video-editing app to edit and retouch videos with rich video and photo editing functions like trimming, cropping, rotating, adding stylish titles, applying filter effects, inserting transition and motion effects, etc.
- Hello All, in this video i will show you how can you download, install and then activate Wondershare Filmora completely for free in year 2020.
In the top left corner is the resource pane, here you can find your videos, music, text/credit, transitions, filters, overlays, elements, and split-screen effects. On the top right corner is the preview pane. On the bottom, you can find the timeline. There is a toolbar in the middle, it includes some buttons like Import, Record Screen, Voice Over, Delete, Split, Crop & Zoom, Rotation, Power Tool, Advanced Color Tuning, Inspector, and Audio Mixer.
Getting started with a new project is pretty straightforward, you even don’t need to learn anything to create your first one. Basically, you will just need to drag and drop your videos, music tracks and effects to the timeline, then export to a movie file. All done. If you’ve already used any other video-editing app like iMovie or Final Cut Pro, you will get used to the Filmora app in no time.
I’m quite impressed that the app can process 4K movies, this is a huge advantage over the free iMovie app on MacOS which can export 1080p movies at its best.
Another great feature is the advanced color tuning tool. This is used to correct color and make creative adjustments. There are a lot of color grading presets to make movie production effortlessly. With 3D LUT (3D Lookup Table), you can easily grade colors of your video and preview how it will be reproduced on a TV, monitor or projector. There are some professional color grading presets, including the ones used in famous movies. You can also download 3D Luts files online and import to the app. The HSL (Hue, Saturation, and Luminance) tool is also very powerful as you can adjust individual color ranges in your video. There are 8 color options, which are red, orange, yellow, green, magenta, purple, blur, and cyan.

Another attractive feature is that the app includes a lot more effects. You even can buy more effects on their store, they release new effect package every month. Combining your crisp 4K movies with the decent effects, you can create some amazing videos in the simple app. There is also a function to stabilize your footages but you will have to stabilize them before adding to the project. Check out a 4K video sample created by the app right below.
I’m a little disappointed that the video in the preview pane has a bad quality at first. I imported some 4K videos to my project but I hardly could see anything clearly there. The app seems to over-optimize the videos to improve the processing speed of the app. After a while, the videos become clearer but the app is super laggy as well. iMovie and Final Cut Pro also optimize videos for faster processing but the video quality is much better than this one, and there is always an option to chose between higher video quality and better performance in those apps. You can check out the video below to see the slow performance of the Filmora app. Notice that I run the app on a MacBook Pro 2015 with AMD Radeon R9 M370X graphic card and 16GB DDR3 RAM.

Another limitation is that there are just 8 editing tracks at maximum in the timeline, including 2 video tracks. The processing speed of the app is underwhelming. It is not just the speed when you use the app, but also when you export a movie. It took me more than 12 minutes to export a 2-minute 4K movie, a few times longer than other apps.

The Filmora app is free but there will be a watermark in the middle of your video. The watermark is big and clear enough to make the video unusable for commercial projects. Therefore, I recommend you to purchase the app if you plan to use it. It costs just $44.99 per year or $59.99 for a lifetime license.
