Not wanting to pay a ridiculous price (most editors seem to be $500+), or sign up to an expensive subscription service just to do basic 4K editing, I have gotten Filmora. It's not perfect and lacks many of the things the other editors have but for my purposes it works, that said, does anyone else here use it? I have some questions:
When selecting my export options, if I save it as an MP4 to my computer at full resolution it has a vastly different file size (more than double) than if I export directly to YouTube using the 4K option. Why is that? Is the YouTube version down rezed somewhat to make it more YouTube friendly? Is there anyway to force a direct upload of the full resolution version without having to first save it to my computer?
Can the preview version while editing be down rezed more? My laptop is only designed for 720p so the preview plays at less than half speed while the audio plays at full speed which makes audio syncing basically impossible.
Can export be sped up? I am currently working on a video just under 24 minutes long but saving ("exporting") it at full resolution at maximum quality settings is taking nearly 12 hours, surely there is a way to speed this up?
Ditto for YouTube, uploading even short videos takes a ridiculous amount of time, why?
Is there any kind of "warp stabilizer" in this program? If so where is it? I was using a Z-Axis on my Osmo+ but even so there is a slight amount of shake.
Also, I am having some stability issues, the program randomly crashes or hangs up a lot.
I wave also tried the Correl X whatever it is but it was basically unusable, it was taking 20 hours+ to "compress" even a short 4-5 minute video before I could even START editing.
As you can tell, my laptop was not designed for video editing, but getting another computer is not an option right now so I have to make do with what I have.
On another note, why are 4K editors (that don't cost a fortune) so difficult to find? Honestly, for the stuff that I am doing Windows Movie Maker or the YouTube editor would work fine except, despite the current prevelence of 4K cameras, even in cell phones, both will not export 4K and will down rez to 1080P. I have a 4K camera, I intend to share my videos the way they were shot, what is the point of a 4K camera when you can't use it? Simply being able to splice, cut, do basic color correcting and stuff, use LUTs, add a sound track and titles/captions, add transitions, and correct for shake is really about all I need, why is that so difficult to find?
