Overview
Who Filmora is For:

Skill Level:
This tool is easy to use, even if you’ve never edited video before.
Deployment:
You’ll install Filmora onto your computer in order to start using it. Both Windows and Mac machines are supported.
Special Features:
Filmora will allow you to add custom titles, custom effects and elements, transitions, and more. It also offers an audio equalizer and background noise removal. You can use up to 100 layers of media.
