. When you create one on your computer, you can use it to burn a new disc whenever you want. That’s great for archiving and backup. ISO files take a lot of storage space, though, so if you plan to archive projects in that format, you should look into an external hard drive or one of the best cloud storage for video services.
The disc burning menu also allows you to create a DVD menu. You get 11 templates to choose from, including themes for specific holidays, such as Valentine’s Day and Christmas, as well as simple elegant backgrounds. You can’t create chapter breaks or extra features, but that’s not unexpected at this level of video editing software.
Another thing you can’t do with Filmora9 is make a Blu-ray disc. That’s odd because the program is compatible with high-definition and 4K resolution. Resizing that big, beautiful footage to standard definition seems like a shameful waste.
Unlike other consumer-level video editing programs, Filmora9 is available for Windows and macOS. Almost all other programs are available for Windows, few are available for macOS. That makes Filmora9 a great alternative to free programs, such as iMovie, and professional-level applications, such as Adobe Premiere Pro CC and Final Cut Pro X.
We tested Filmora9 with footage that was previously captured to make a short film. It was able to import every element, audio, video and otherwise. We were able to trim unwanted footage, arrange elements on the timeline and adjust audio and color with as much ease and effectiveness as on the professional-level software used to create the original film.
Though we weren’t able to replicate the original film exactly because Filmora9 isn’t compatible with some of the plugins we used to create advanced visual effects, we were able to approximate it. The result was a finished product that could’ve been shown at a film festival.
When we exported the finished test project, it took Filmora9 about 25 minutes to complete, which isn’t bad for a 15-minute video. It probably would’ve been shorter if our test computer was beefier. When we watched the resulting video, it was crystal clear. There was no pixelation, motion blur or other distortion in it. The audio was also crisp and clear.
We also exported a one-minute test scene in various resolutions and frame rates, including 1080p at 30 frames per second, 1080p at 60 fps, 720p at 30 fps and 720p at 60 fps. We timed the exports to see how long the program would take to complete each and how large the video files were. The results are in the table below.
Filmora9 offers lens correction, which is great for videos captured with action cameras because they have that fisheye effect that can be distracting. The lens correction tool has presets for action cam models from camera manufacturers such as GoPro, Panasonic, Ricoh, Sony and iON. This makes the program a good alternative to free software, such as GoPro Quik.
Another nifty tool is scene detection. When you import your files into Filmora9, you can tell the program to automatically scan your footage for separate shots and organize them together in your media bin for easy placement on the timeline. That’s especially useful for long shots from events like sporting events and music concerts.
You can also record what’s happening on your computer screen. That’s great if you want to make a tutorial for software, make commentary on a news article or get a recording of a live stream or online video.
You also have the ability to capture video from your webcam and audio from a microphone in the program. That may seem like a simple thing, but it’s useful because it means you don’t have to have extra software to record unique video and audio and import it. Just record it from Filmora9 and its automatically in your media bin, ready for editing.
There are a couple of advanced tools missing from Filmora9 that are found in other consumer-level programs. For example, you can’t import or edit 360-degree footage. This isn’t a huge deal, since that technology is still relatively new.
It’s also missing a multi-cam editing module, which would be awesome for quickly editing together the same even taken from from different angles – like a live concert that was recorded by several smartphones. This would be good to include, but not a deal breaker for beginners.
If there’s a feature you want or need that isn’t available in Filmora9, you can contact Wondershare by using the “new feature request” option under the “help” menu. Wondershare is great at incorporating user feedback and giving editors what they want and need.
Filmora9 is a good buy for beginners and enthusiasts. You get all the tools you need to yield professional-looking results at a consumer-level price. You’re only limited by your ability to learn the tools to their fullest potential.

How Do You Get Rid of the Filmora9 Watermark?
The only way to do so is by signing up for one of the paid plans, we're afraid. We have to say, though, that the lowest tier plan is perfectly affordable.
How Do You Change Movie Resolution in Filmora9?
It's pretty easy, actually: go to "export," then "create." Pick the format you want, go to "settings" and then choose the resolution you want.

yeah, that makes sense because it’s free.
save and export your Video the strip falls apart, when you finally get to export it once more, to convert and burn to a DVD, more problems. Also you are continually I adapted with buying more of the gimmicks. And as I mentioned before trying to contact them and getting help is impossible. I sense this company is an off shore foreign company that just takes your money, and doesn’t care about anything else.
Wonder Share Filmora is Just a Fraud company and a useless one now. It was good when I Purchased it, But many times after editting my videos got vanished automatically, 1 Year I used it, Now I cant upload my videos on you tube, As a You Tuber it is a big problem for me now. I cant upload my videos through this Software. I have purchased it for life time. Now they are cheating the users of this Software, I only need help to upload my videos. Now i have to spend money for purchasing another software just because of this useless Wonder share Software..or Company..
I have a problem where when I export my video, some sections I have edited out show up in the final cut, sometimes there are moments where the video just goes blank, but strangely while I’m in the program it looks exactly the way I edited it to be. So far I am trying to contact the company, but they are not responding. In fact, judging by their replies, it seems as though they did not understand my complaint. I am not sure if I should switch to another program or if they are all the same!
Here are 7 ways you can help your child form a reading habit.
1. Read to your child.
Pick a fun book at your child’s understanding level, but not necessarily at their reading level. He or she doesn’t even need to know how to read for you to start this, the younger, the better. When the story is over for short works, or at any good stopping point, pause and discuss the story. This improves listening comprehension skills and and will help build reading comprehension skills. Even the simplest stories are a basis for conversation and can help your child hone these important skills.
2. Read with your child.
Pick a fun book at or slightly above your child’s reading level and take turns reading pages. Help your child with the harder words, but not so fast that he or she doesn't have to stretch. Don’t make the mistake of reading too long. You want to keep this fun and entertaining and avoid making it seem like a daunting task for your child.
3. Read what your child reads.
Your child’s taste in books may differ from yours, but if you want to make sure he or she is understanding what they are reading, you’ll want to read the same books. This makes it easier to converse about books your child is interested in. The younger your child is, the more you should read what he or she is reading. Take time to discuss books, build common interests, and track your child’s reading comprehension skills. Engaging in conversations about books also helps your child to see that you find reading interesting too – it’s not just something you are enforcing your child to do.
4. Surround your child with good books.
Whether you buy your child books or take him or her to the library, keep your child supplied with good ones! Do some homework on books at your child’s reading level. Newbery Medal and Honor Awards books are a great place to start. These books come in all different subject matters and writing styles and there is something to please even the fussiest of readers. Asking the librarian or your child's teacher for advice also works wonders for
