Make Video Editing More Productive

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the Perpetual License?

  A perpetual Filmora license allows you to use a specific version of Filmora continually with payment of a single fee. Therefore, the plan does not include future versions of Filmora. You may need to pay an additional lower-cost fee to resubscribe for support and upgrades.

• What is the difference between update and upgrade?

  An upgrade is a less frequent, more drastic change to Filmora you are currently using, like Filmora 13 to Filmora 14. On the other hand, a Filmora update can be more frequent, fix little bugs or make minor tweaks, and is often used to repair the product. Perpetual plans include all updates to the current major version but don’t include upgrades to future major versions, whereas subscription plans include all updates and upgrades during the subscription period.

• Is one license good for both Mac and PC (Windows)?

  No, our product licenses are platform-specific and cannot be synchronized or transferred between different platforms. Here’s how it works: If you purchase a Windows license, it will only work on Windows PC and Android devices. If you purchase a Mac license, it will only work on Mac devices, iOS, and iPadOS devices.

• How can I activate my Filmora?

  If you run Filmora for the first time, you will be prompted to activate it. Log in with your Wondershare ID account to activate the new version of Filmora online.

• What is the limitation of the free edition of Filmora?

  It only offers a limited allocation of 100 AI credits for using some AI features. Filmora Cloud Storage and the full library of Filmora Creative Assets are exclusively available through upgrading your plan. However, you can access all of Filmora's basic editing features for free, and easily export your videos. Watermarks will be added to the exported files.

• How do I update my current Filmora to Wondershare Filmora 14?

  You can update Filmora by clicking the Free Download button on Filmora official website.

• What is a subscription plan?

  With a subscription license, instead of making a one-time purchase, you pay a monthly or yearly fee to use Filmora. It is an ongoing subscription during the period. The cost of maintenance, upgrades (like Filmora 14 release), and renewals is included in the subscription -no extra fees added.

• What are the differences between the Basic, Advanced Plan and the business plan?

  The Basic and Advanced plans are single-user licenses, meaning they are intended for use by one individual only. These licenses are not transferable or shareable among multiple people. Here’s a breakdown of the device usage for each plan:

  Windows License:

  • Advanced and Premium Plans: After purchasing a desktop license, you can also use it on Android devices.
  • Basic Plan :Can only be used on Windows PCs.

  Mac License:

  • Advanced and Premium Plans: After purchasing a desktop license, you can also use it on iOS and iPadOS devices.
  • Basic Plan : Does not support usage on iOS or iPadOS.

  If you need multiple users to access Filmora simultaneously, consider purchasing additional licenses or opting for our Business Plan to accommodate more users. This option may help you save on overall costs while providing access for all your team members.

  For users with an unlimited credits package, you can use AI features without restrictions and receive a certain amount of high-speed mode credits each month. In high-speed mode, your AI tasks will be processed with the fastest speed and given priority. Once the high-speed mode credits are exhausted, it will switch to normal mode, where tasks will be processed sequentially according to the number of AI feature requests.

• How are the AI credits allocated and retrieved under the subscription plan?

  In a subscription plan, AI credits are issued every 30 days starting from the purchase date, and any unused AI credits are reclaimed at the same time.
