Your customisation options when working with titles here are vast (Image credit: Wondershare) Adding text is more powerful than it originally seems, and includes the ability to alter your font and colour, add a drop shadow or an outline, and even apply motion effects to it.

Want to try Filmora Go Download it here So how does it fare Also check out our roundup of the best free video editing software Getting started When you first launch the app, youll notice its essentially divided into two: Templates and Projects.

Looking to make a short video in minutes Check out these templates (Image credit: Wondershare) Templates Templates are ready-made little projects, with music, titles, transitions, everything is ready for you to insert your footage into.

The ones on display on the main screen are the most popular options, but tap on more to see all available templates.

There are twenty of them, broken down into themes, such as Food, Fashion and Festival, however, only four of them are free and its perhaps not surprising that the four trending templates are them.

Preview each template - even if its beyond your reach (ie, its a pro feature) (Image credit: Wondershare) It is possible to preview all templates, be they free or pro, to give you an idea of what youre getting.

At the bottom of the screen youre informed how many clips you need, and the required length for each.

This makes it easy to scroll through your available footage to choose the appropriate ones.

Add your clips in sequence (you can also trim them before import) (Image credit: Wondershare) And although you cannot alter the length of each clip, you can select which portion of your footage you get to use (dont worry if you forget this while building your film, you can also do this later on).

With all clips selected, tapping on go imports your footage into Filmora Go - which can take a few seconds.

A Templates editing options are limited, but at least you can alter the default titles (Image credit: Wondershare) Youre then able to fine tune your video, although you really have few options: changing the default text is a given, and you can edit each video to make sure the section you wish to use is the one thats selected, but thats it.

You cant change the transitions, effects, nor the background music.

Its also important to note that the templates weve used all create a project in portrait mode, rather than the more usual and traditional landscape orientation.

When making your own project, the full editing interface reveals itself (Image credit: Wondershare) Project creation If you want more control over your creation, you need to forego these templates and create a project from scratch.

Just as with the Template section, you get to select the clips youd like to use, although here, being able to trim the clips before you insert them is much more valuable, especially if your footage has a long duration, but dont worry: you can alter your decision later on.

Also dont feel you have to choose all the clips youre going to use in one go.

Once in the editing section, youre faced with quite a large gamut of options.

All the tools you needs are located at the bottom of the screen, and theyre grouped into nine menus.

You can trim it, split it, duplicate it, alter its volume, rotate it, change its opacity, its speed, even create a freeze frame.

Its also possible to render your footage by dragging a selected clip along the timeline.

Other menus offer you the ability to add music and sound effects to your project (you can connect to the tracks stored on your phone, or use the ones supplied by Filmora Go).
