Frequently Asked Questions

There is no limit to the number of effects applied to one adjustment layer. Filmora gives you the flexibility to use the adjustment layer feature as you wish.

The user interface is great, and I didn't need any tutorials to start using it. I think I'll use this instead of my other video editing programs.
