Welcome to my YouTube channel! In this video, we'll be diving into how Wondershare Filmora works, especially if you're opening it for the first time.

When you first launch Filmora, you'll be welcomed by a variety of menus, each tailored for different functions. Let's go through some of the key features to get you started.

Importing Media

First, you need to import your media. You can do this through various options such as:

  • Importing From Your Camera: Directly bring in footage from connected devices.
  • Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox: Seamlessly import files stored in cloud services.
  • Stock Media: Filmora offers a plethora of stock images, videos, and more. Note that an internet connection is required here.

Basic Features Overview

Media Management

Your media tab is where you'll manage all your imported files. Furthermore, you can organize and prepare them for editing.

Audio Library

Filmora comes with a built-in audio library. However, be cautious when using these tracks in your YouTube videos as you might face copyright issues. For safer options, Filmstock provides a vast array of royalty-free audio content.

Templates

Performance Settings

Filmora allows certain performance tweaks. If you possess a good graphics card, ensure it is enabled:
