Wondershare Filmora 11 leaps into the future of the creator economy with unmissable video editing features

As we look back on the past two years, the first thing that comes to mind is the amount of time we’ve all spent sitting at home due to restrictions on our movement. The second thing, is the realization that whilst sitting at home with nothing but our minds churning, we have, as a community, come together in very different ways. Chiefly, we’ve managed to create connections with fellow human beings all over the world without ever having met them in person, and so much of the time, we did this through the sharing of videos, whether they are just short, entertaining clips, or longer, documentary-style videos.

Within the past few years, the creator economy has boomed. What is the creator economy? It’s been described as a class of businesses built by independent content creators, curators, and community builders, which encompasses influencers, bloggers, and videographers. Creators have been gaining bigger and bigger followings online, and YouTubers such as Mr. Beast and PewDiePie are now household names, each earning millions of dollars in revenue a year from creating videos that garner millions of views. In short, people have found that working 9-5 office jobs is no longer needed to maintain a comfortable lifestyle—in fact, it’s perfectly possible to make your own hours while doing what you love and earning enough revenue to do it sustainably.

Video editing tools for everyday creators

With this massive change, demand for more mainstream, easy-to-learn tools that enable creators from all levels of expertise to quickly create videos that are not only high-quality, but also compelling for viewers. Enter Filmora, one of the most popular video editing software engineered by Wondershare Technology. The latest iteration of Filmora, Filmora 11 was built with the everyday creator in mind, no matter where they live or what types of videos they make. Every new feature that has been plugged into this popular software aims to make video editing simpler, faster, and more enjoyable.

This latest version of Filmora places the focus on the software being much more than just a video editor. While Filmora 11 showcases a range of new features that helps creators invent videos that are bigger, better, and more impressive with special effects, it also enables beginners to create simple videos that grab viewers’ attention. Filmora 11 also encompasses the Wondershare Creative Center, which enables users to be part of a community of creators while enjoying access to a range of tutorials to expand their knowledge.

Effects and resources

Wondershare has partnered with NewBlue and Boris FX, two of the industry’s best-known video editing plugins, which will both be part of the brand new Filmora 11 update.

NewBlue FX

NewBlue provides video effects, transitions, and most importantly, it brings with it NewBlue’s flagship titling software, Titler Pro, which is considered the de facto industry standard for adding titles to videos today. Titler Pro enables the creation of stunning 3D animated titles that are popularly used in movies, TV shows, documentaries, and more. Four other plugins are available through NewBlue: Stylizers (video effects), Elements (compositing), Essentials (video correction), and Filters (presets and color correction).

Boris FX

Boris FX, on the other hand, is the industry-leading developer of visual effects plugins for video editing, motion graphics, and visual effects. It’s perfect for all types of videos, from simple clips to full-length films. For example, Boris FX products have been used in blockbusters such as Star Wars, Avatar, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, and much more. Because of its versatility, the software is widely known as the “Swiss Army Knife” of video plugins as it provides a creative tool for almost every video editing task.

With Boris FX’s Continuum, users will be able to fine-tune creative effects with more controls and a large number of creative presets to make more impressive videos in less time.

Effects and Stock Media

Users can now access a wealth of creative materials from Filmstock, Pixabay, Giphy, and Unsplash to enhance their videos with effects, video, photo, sticker, and emoticon packs.

Speed Ramping

This feature allows users to adjust the speed of the videos with better control of keyframes—this makes it easy for them to quickly slow down or speed up videos to create unique cinematic effects. Some of the most memorable scenes from our favorite movies utilize speed ramping—for example, the iconic scene in The Matrix where Neo leans back on his feet, dodging bullets that are flying through the air at him. Speed ramping is an effective way to draw viewers’ attention to certain scenes in movies or videos, and when the effect is well done, it can create a highly memorable experience.

Auto Synchronization

It’s become extremely popular for creators to utilize a multiple-camera set up when filming their videos. A challenge that comes with this is how to properly sync the video and audio as they’re captured from different sources. Filmora 11’s Auto Synchronization feature automatically aligns video and audio captured by multiple cameras in the same scene, eliminating the need for creators to sync these manually.

Instant Mode

For creators who have very little time to edit videos, Instant Mode provides a one-click solution to this with pre-made templates. All they have to do is pick a theme, and voila, the video is complete. Users can also edit the completed video as needed. Instant Mode is currently only available on the Windows version of Filmora 11.

Masking

This feature allows users to select specific parts of their videos or use video overlays to edit them; for example, users can edit just a small portion of their video clips, cut them out or place something else on top of it. By extension, different clips can be combined to create one comprehensive video.

Pre-set Templates

With Pre-set Templates, users can easily generate their own intro, outro, or complex special effects. These can then be customized and shared with other users, creating a library full of unique templates and effects that are accessible to thousands of creators around the world.

More Tools for Creators

These are just some of the myriad of new features that Filmora 11 brings to users, which adds on to some of the features that were pre-existing in the software, such as Color Match, which users can use to apply color correction settings across multiple clips at once; Green Screen, which enables easy change of backgrounds and addition of special effects; Split Screen, which helps users create videos with multiple views in one frame; and Motion Tracking, which automates the tracking of a certain subject in video clips.

Additionally, Filmora 11’s cloud saving feature now allows users to save their work directly onto the cloud, so they can access all their files anytime, anywhere. These files can then be shared with friends, family, or uploaded onto sites such as YouTube.

With all the tools that Filmora 11 packs into one product, video creators now have a plethora of editing options at their fingertips. From basic editing like adding music onto a video clip to professional-level editing with special effects, Filmora lets them do it all.
