If you are still using an older version of Filmora, the upgrade to version 13.0.25.4414 or later is highly worthwhile, specifically for the AI Copilot and AI Text-to-Video features, which represent a fundamental shift in how video editing can be approached. However, it's always a good idea to use the free trial to ensure the software runs smoothly on your specific computer configuration before purchasing. For those using other basic editors, Filmora 13 offers a significant leap in capability without an overwhelming learning curve.

Filmora 13 introduces text-based editing, transforming the way you edit vlogs, interviews, and podcasts. The software automatically transcribes your audio into text. If you delete a sentence or a word from the text transcript, Filmora instantly cuts the corresponding video footage from your timeline. AI Smart Cutout and Masking
