The program lets you use a magnetic timeline approach (which you can turn off with a button over the timeline). PiP (picture-in-picture) works easily, with WYSIWYG resizing handles in the preview. It's a great way to keep your effect overlays where you want them. As with the Connected Clips in Final Cut Pro, these added clips in new tracks move in sync with the main track above them. The number of tracks looks limited at first, but whenever you add another video clip below your main one, another track is added so you can keep overlaying.

This all adds up to an excellent app, but one that still lags behind our favorite enthusiast-level video editing software, Editors' Choice winners PowerDirector and VideoStudio for the PC and Final Cut Pro for the Mac. With the latest update, Filmora gets an even slicker interface with new layout options, as well as new AI-powered tools like Smart Cutout tool for Photoshop-like masking, audio stretch, audio denoise, adjustment layers, more powerful keyframing, mask drawing, and loads more stock content. Filmora can get the job done, and its interface is clear and pleasing, but you’ll have to do without some of the fine control you get with other video editing apps. The company continues to add advanced and modern features like those you find in more established competitors-for example, motion tracking, keyframing, and speech-to-text. Wondershare’s Filmora offers the standard trimming, transitions, and overlays, along with effects we’ve come to expect in enthusiast-level video editing software.
