How to Use Wondershare Filmora X Video Editor on Windows?
Wondershare Filmora X is easy to use, however, some of you might have not used it before, so it is recommended to go through this quick how-to guide before you get started.
- Launch Filmora X on your Windows PC and create a new project. Choose a 16:9 aspect ratio if you want to edit videos for the landscape screen.
- Now drag and drop the video footage, images, audio onto the import window, or just click on the import window and import files from a specific folder.
- Once done, drag the required files on the timeline.
- Using the scroll bar you can scroll to different time frames of the video footage and add a cut wherever required.
- Now click on transition, and choose from the list of transitions for adding them to the parts where you cut the video. This will hide the unwanted black screen, or can also be used to transit between one footage to another.
- Drag and drop the transition on the joints of two video clips.
Remember: You can only add transitions in the beginning or at the end if there are no cuts in between the video. For adding transitions in between a video clip, you’ll first have to add a cut and then place the transition.
- Now click on the text in the toolbar menu, and choose a text style, drag, and drop it at the beginning of the video.
- Once done, double click on the text, and add a suitable title for the video. Click on the advanced button and explore the additional features of text styles.

- Once you are done editing the video, hit Ctrl+S to save the project.
- Now to export the project, click on the export button and choose the desired video format. I’d recommend you choose the “device” option if you want to export different resolutions for different types of devices.
