@@russblakey favour back since you did a super video. by the way ever heard of xsplit - something gamers use to stream 4k but says can be used for video editing. has powerful video editor they say. ever heard or used it? can even do video from 3 different camera plus screen share as fourth!!! or just stick with filmora?
After using imovie for 10 years, I was worried about changing and learning a new program. Not only have you made it easy, but the added features are a real bonus. Far more advanced and feature packed than i imagined, keep up the good work!
This is a brilliant tutorial video. I don't usually leave comments, but from being brand new to Filmora, by just watching and copying what you do and listening to your very understandable explanation, I was able to dive right into putting together and editing my own videos without having to watch 4 or 5 different tutorials. Thank you for an awesome tutorial...
Been scratching my head for six months deciding which editing package to choose, think you've just made my mind up. As usual, you make everything sound possible. Great job !!!
I got Filmora 9 (based on your recommendation via the comparisons) and was offered a one-off purchase price which I accepted - lifetime subscription and it's a great program. This video is really helpful, thank you for making it! So good to hear it from a regular user rather than the company promoter who is paid to tell you things, you tell us what you know and use every day. 1st class Stewart, thank you.
Fantastic tutorial. Just what I was looking for. I bought Filmora 9 last night and was struggling with some of the features. I now feel confident to go and play around with it. Thank you.
I just bought the dji mavic air 2 and it'll be here tomorrow. Was looking for video editing software to use and I'm sold with this quick tutorial! You have some great videos, so glad I found your channel. Keep it up!
This guy is a legend, I don't have to take an online course for editing my new vlog. I just watch your video and I can make it but it takes me for a while to understand what you have explained. Thank mate.
I stumbled on your video by chance, and I must say that you really make a great "How to" video. I am sold on Filmora 9 not only because of its functionality and ease of use but also because you make it look so User friendly. Loved it. Thanks for this.
Great video, respect for doing beginners tutorial. Some people like me get engulfed in day to day life routines and never get to pursue our passions and by the time we come to life terms we are old to learn anything as such. Things like these help old sods like me. Thanks once again.
Mate this is one of the best how-to videos I’ve ever watched. Concise, fast, and waffle-free. I totally agree. very clear and well explained and clear.Thanks very much.
Stewart Carrol, it was very nice of you to take us around in Limora 9. This is one of the best teaching videos i have seen! learned at least 3 new things so I am really thankful for that. Keep it up
The best Filmora tutorial I have seen. You did an awesome job explaining all the features. You have a real talent for teaching! I’m subscribing to your channel.
WOW, you have provided so much information, as a newbie to editing - between taking notes and working with the app itself, it took me about 40 minutes to get through the first 7 minutes!! This is amazing, this is exactly what I needed! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS BEGINNERS VIDEO! I have never used any editing software but after researching (for 2 days) I now choose Filmore 9 after watching and taking notes from this video. Again thank you so much.
Stewart... i've watched tons of filmora tutorials and yours was BY FAR the best...!! now i feel like i can edit my videos like a pro... thank you for taking the time to make such a GREAT tutorial...!!
Thank you so much! My computer is now a dinosaur and I cannot use any adobe software. Filmora is all I can use, but I think if you have good shots to start with, it can really help. The pan zoom is awesome. You are a lifesaver. This really has practically everything I need to be honest.
I get my drone tomorrow - got Filmora a couple of days ago, did your Done Cinematography Masterclass and now I just need to learn how not to crash my Mavic Mini! Thanks for this great tutorial, just the very thing I needed!
Great tutorial. Thanks for your effort in making this video. I just subscribed. Keep up the good work & God bless!

I had to choose a software to edit footage from my Mini. I purchased the full version and I am quite happy with it ! There is also a gret functionnality to extract the beats from a music. That helps a lot for cutting.
I love filmora 9. I'm still learning the ropes on it, but i'm very impressed. I can make some sweet videos, but at the same time not have to learn it as much. And, this guide made it so much easier to learn it. Thanks so much!
After trying six or seven other editors I bought Filmora 9, your'e right, it'd simple enough for beginners (very intuitive) but give you a lot of options as well, excellent piece of software.
POSSIBLY the best tutorial I've ever watched. I'll be watching it a few more times for sure. Your videos are always excellent Stewart, but I can't believe you can top this one. Clear, helpful, concise, to the point and well paced throughout. Thanks. I hope Filmora management watch your video and read the comments to know how well you've reviewed their product.
Thanks for this vid. It encouraged me that I didn't mess up when I purchased. Very helpful. I edited some old 8mm stuff and then watched this. Obviously, it's good for a geezer like me. I'm 73.
This is best filmora tutorial video on UA-cam..👌👌👌 the way you teaching is outstanding bro.. very informative and easy to understand..❤️❤️❤️ Love from India. 🇮🇳
Wow! I am a total beginner at all of this. I haven't even purchased the software yet but after watching your video I feel like I could be like Steven Spielberg! Nice job.
Hi, Bought this after downloading your guide. Wow, never knew it had so many options, have done a couple of basic edits. This is a great tutorial, thanks for taking the time to do this. Will save this to watch over and over as I progress. Thanks again.
This is one of the best video I have ever found on UA-cam, Thank you BTW can you plz upload your that project along with these footages that you have created in this tutorial video.
I will say this. I have been looking for a Filmora Video guide that actually gave me step-by-step instructions each one of them assumes that i know how to do even the most basic things and i couldnt figure it out this helped me so much more in 5 mins than any of the other tutorials in the hours i wasted watching them
Thank you for actually giving clear information that is basic. I have learned more in this video than I have in watching hours of other "Beginners" videos
Brilliant. More like this please it's to the point concise and gets the important and relevant information across so efficiently. I enjoy learning but my hunger for knowledge along with a busy lifestyle sometimes finds me getting frustrated with the content of some informational videos. The pace in this was spot on and BS free. Thanks for sharing.
omg this is what i need after i signed up for life in filmora,i dont kmow what to do or how to edit my video,you are a life saver,i can edit my vlog now professionally,i sub😍
As a total beginner ill be incorporating the split-screen effect into my next video, possibly maybe, still can't master the pan and zoom but ill get there, from a guy who never edited anything in his life but fun learning this stuff ;-)
Thank you so much for this wonderful video which took me to the world of editing.....It really helped me in creating a video for my school project....your explaination was so wonderful and easy to understand...Thanks a lot and keep going
Thank you so much!! I recently got a new computer and I needed a good editor!! I decided to try it out, then I bought it. I got more comfortable with it! I am editing my first video with it now!! This was so helpful. You just earned a sub! 😃

Watched your video as Final Cut Pro X has a steep learning curve for a beginner like myself. Brilliant introduction to Filmora you made here. It was just what I needed to make the decision to switch editing software. Thank you again - and keep it up! :-)
My first drone should arrive this week....chose the Mavic 2 Zoom rather than the newer Air 2 so might as well have two steep learning curves with flying and editing. 😁
Thanks mate for that fantastic tutorial on Filmora9 as i have been dangling with so many other softwares to edit movies et6c bit never know that this software has so many options to create your own movie and i am more than convinced now having been on the hunt for last 8 weeks to take a decision , so Filomara9 it will be for me...thanks again...
