The ‘long press & drag’ gesture is much easier to use compared to using the traditional zoom handles on both the Final Cut Pro X & Premiere Pro. I really wish the more advanced editing software could borrow this particular feature up its sleeve. Speaking of which, you can even add keyframes now within the audio tracks for better sound editing.īut, my personal favorite feature of editing in Filmora9 has to be the zoom in/out gesture within the timeline.

The current update also allows you to adjust the track sizes which makes it easier to see your audio waveforms. Thanks to the latest update, you can finally add up to 100 video & audio tracks Phew! That out of the way, you do have the “magnetic” timeline which needs some time getting used to. The similarities don’t end at the user interface, Filmora9 also draws heavily from Final Cut Pro when it comes to enhancing & speeding up the editing workflow. For example, when you click on the small “Audio Level” icon next to the zoom handles, it quickly expands an audio leveling window on the left. In fact, every tool and icon placement is quite intuitive.

Both, the essential & advanced tools like “Split” & “Advanced Color Tuning” can be found directly above the timeline. On the top left, you can import your media files into the project library, where you can also create bins/events. Moving on, the sleek and modern interface immediately reminds me of Final Cut Pro X (which is a good thing). You no longer get the options of “Instant Cutter” or “Easy Video” modes which were present in the previous versions. When you open the software, you can create a new project or open an existing one.
