What is FilmoraPro?
FilmoraPro is a more advanced and powerful video editing program when compared to Filmora9, a more beginner friendly video editor from Wondershare. Some cool features include the ability to easily stabilize footage, adjust audio sync and quality, add video and audio transitions, animation and motion graphics capabilities, and more advanced color scopes for accurate color adjustments!
In this review we’re going to be reviewing all of the key features and aspects of Wondershare FilmoraPro. We’ll be looking at workspaces, professional color correction and LUTs, advanced effects, and much more.
Setting Up Your Workspace
Setting up the workspace in FilmoraPro is super simple. It’s also flexible and you can set it up to work efficiently based on your editor style.
The different tabs and panels can be dragged and dropped from the top. You can also click the top right of any panel and select ‘ Float Panel ‘ to float it above and move it around your editing space. Then you can maximize it to get a bigger view or dock the panel back into your workspace.
Professional Color Correction
Color correction and color grading and done really well in FilmoraPro. You can easily add effects to your clips to apply certain settings, from things like hue/saturation/lightness to more advanced curves adjustments, you can add any effect to your clip quickly.
Of course, you can also easily add LUTs to your footage too. You know we have to talk about the process for adding LUTs! :) Here’s a super quick tutorial for adding LUTs to your clips in Wondershare FilmoraPro:
- Select your clip and then click Effects > Color Grading > LUT
- Click the file icon to browse for your desired LUT (lookup table). You can use .cube LUTs.
- Once you select a LUT, it will apply to your footage. Then you can adjust the intensity with the ‘Strength’ slider.
I used the Free Film Tone LUTs for this example. If you’re looking to read about more aspects of color grading in FilmoraPro, check out their user guide here.
Effects and Advanced Editing Features
I always have a ton of fun playing with cool effects and visual adjustments in editing programs. In FilmoraPro, it’s no different. You can quickly click through effects and try different things to bring your edit to life.
There are a lot of commonly used features like blurs and sharpening, light flares, speed adjustments, and more. You can also find some really unique effects that are less common. My favorite that I discovered is the Heat Distortion adjustment. Adding a nice burned blur to the video.
While the visual effects can be fun to play with, it’s also great to have practical tools for stabilization, audio, animation, and some other core adjustments. FilmoraPro has a great range, especially for audio!
