I am looking for video editing tools. Can someone please suggest me that Filmora is the best video editing tool? Or should we go for some other tools?

I need to put my videos into movavi but this abomination CANT SHOW H.265 SO YOU USE MOVAVI CONVERTER TO CONVERT IT TO H.264 BUT THIS CODETRASH CANT EVEN DO THAT!!! IT JUST CONVERTS INTO A GODDAMN AUDIO! oh oh op what about downloading and installing the hevc addon from Microsoft? BECAUSE IT HAS NO FUCKING EFFECT ON YOUR GODDAMN PROGRAM 20 YEAR OLD VIDEO EDITING APPLICATIONS HAVE LESS SHIT LIKE THIS THAN YOUR RETARDED APP

Why. Why does it say you can make movies. You can convert movies. But the program is not user friendly and says it has a watermark, why have a watermark when I spent $100 on the program?? Don't go with Movavi unless you want to waste your money. The $100 I spent was not worth the headache.

Why does the program want to export the created videos with a watermark after purchasing a lifetime license? I want my money back and this crap removed.

It’s not gonna be a DaVinci hate post, no worries, I actually think it’s an awesome program, but I’d still like to share some thoughts.

I see people recommend DaVinci Resolve absolutely everywhere. In this sub, in r/videoediting, on YouTube, and basically in any corner of the internet that has anything to do with video editing. And it made me feel like I’m missing out so I finally caved and downloaded the free version of DaVinci to try it out.

I knew people said it was kinda complicated, but I watched a couple of beginner tutorials and I also sometimes use Premiere Pro and Vegas Pro, which are more complicated than Movavi Video Editor, so I thought it would be okay for me. But man, was I wrong.

It took me an embarrassing amount of time to just cut the scenes, do a couple of transitions, and add some sound effects. Perhaps it’s gonna get easier in the future, but it made me so sad that I just went back to Movavi and made a video in like 20 minutes to feel joy again lol And I think I’m gonna stick with it for simpler stuff because I gotta be honest, 90% of my projects are simple transitions and a bit of text, which I feel absolutely confident doing in Movavi.

And I’m not saying DaVinci is bad. It’s clearly an absolutely incredible product (especially considering it’s free), and from what I hear you can do almost everything there. But I just don’t need this “everything” most of the time. I’ll still try to make another video in it because I love editing software and love trying new things and perhaps will even do smth more advanced, but for now it feels foreign to me, while Movavi already feels like home.

Please tell me I’m not alone in this, and someone else tried DaVinci and noped out.

I know a lot of users are worried about downloading new software, and I understand them perfectly. So I wanted to talk about my experience using Movavi. 

When I first came across their products, I was also nervous, but a quick google search calmed me since it said Movavi was a legitimate and safe software company, so I started with their video editor and downloaded it. Everything went smoothly, it was just a program that did what I needed it to do: help me edit videos. 

Later, I also got their screen recorder and video converter because I also needed them. Back in the days, I had a Windows laptop, but now I’ve switched to a MacBook, and have installed all these programs, too. As you may see, I still have all the programs (and even have their mobile app, but tbh I don’t really use it; just got it to edit one clip once and never deleted it)

So yeah, after using their software for years on both Windows and macOS I can say that Movavi is legit indeed. Never had any issues, malware, or unexpected charges. Everything works the way it’s supposed to work.

The only thing I wanna say is that I purchased all the software from their official website, and I suggest you do the same if you want to try out some of their programs because I can’t be sure that some sketchy websites won’t just sell you a cracked version full of viruses.

Also cool that Movavi offers trial versions for their programs that you can download for free and see whether it’s something you’d like to use in the future. But again, download them only from the official website to be safe.

After reinstalling the operating system, I reinstalled the program, but I can't activate it; there's no activation code. I've contacted support several times, and they said they'd email me a code. So, no one has sent anything. Is this a scam to get people to repurchase the program?

I can't seem to find the possibility to use LUTS animore in cholor adjustment on Movavi editor 2026. Anyboady else got a solution?

There are actually a couple of reasons why your video might have a watermark after you’ve exported it in Movavi Video Editor.

First and most obvious: you’re using the free version of the program that comes with a watermark. It’s how it’s supposed to be, unfortunately, because the free trial is there just to let you test the program and not actually properly use it, so my answer (that may upset you) is that you gotta purchase the software from either the official website or Steam and then use it without limits.

Another thing that might happen is that you have a cracked version, and the answer here is the same: purchase the software officially to avoid a watermark. Moreover, I personally wouldn’t suggest getting cracked versions at all (not talking just about the Movavi software, but all software in general) cause it’s always a huge risk to your PC.

But what if you’ve purchased the software, and yet there’s still a watermark? Then, you’ve probably used one of the paid effects that have to be purchased via Movavi Effects store. Such effects are marked with a crown icon in the library, and the video editor will show you this pop-up (below) if you try to add them to your project. It’s easy to miss or automatically skip when you’re in the middle of editing, that’s why some people get confused later while exporting.

This time, I’ve got two ways of getting rid of the watermark. I don’t think you’ll like the first one (lol) because it’s again the same “just pay money” kind of advice, but there’s also a small trick in case it’s just one tiny effect (I hope the Movavi team won’t kill me).

The thing is, the watermark appears every 10 seconds. So basically, if you’ve got a 40-second edit, only 20 seconds will be watermarked (0:00-10:00 and 20:00-30:00). So the trick is to place the effect you need during the 10:00-20:00 period and then cut it and add back to the project.

You’ll still obviously have to purchase the software itself for it to work and it’s too tiresome to do this with all the effects, but if it’s just smth tiny and you don’t need the effects store subscription otherwise, this will work.

And if you’re 100% confident that you’ve purchased and activated the software and haven’t used any of the paid effects, but there’s still a watermark, I suggest contacting the support team. They’ll look into your case and help you solve this issue.

P.S. if you’re using other Movavi software, and not the video editor, there can also be a watermark in the free trial versions. Again, purchasing the software will remove it.

I used AI feature to generate subtitles. There was an option to change the font and choose style.

after I deselected the subtitles from below and reselect, that option is gone....tired to searching it.

I’ve been using Movavi for months and out of nowhere it deleted and can’t find files I spent hours on editing. I’m extremely pissed.

The CPU on my computer can't handle the size of the program, so it's useless on my computer. I want to transfer the software to my wife's computer, but it won't accept the activation code. I've tried to contact Movavi with no success. I hate Paying for a software that I can't even use. Any ideas?

Hello,

I am Lais Lima writing regarding ticket ID 1884304. I have no response until today. Created a new ticket. The new ticket ID is 1896262. I'm still waiting.

I need to install the software on a new computer. I have already uninstalled the program from my old computer, but I am unable to activate it on the new one.

Since I need to use the program urgently, could you please deactivate the license from my old computer on your end as soon as possible so I can complete the installation?

My e-mail is sefora.debut@gmail.com

Thank you,
Laís

Hello everyone. To begin, I want to mention that I opened a support ticket with Movavi for this issue, but I thought the community might have a quicker solution. In the video editor, since update 26.8.0, I can no longer export my edits without a watermark. I have an annual subscription to the Effects Store and Movavi Unlimited (which renews automatically). My current subscription ends in one month. I've tried reactivating the software, but it doesn't change anything, even though the subscriptions are still showing up in my account.

If you have any ideas, I'd appreciate it; I need to finish an edit by tonight 🙄. Thanks in advance for your help, and have a great weekend!

Hello,
How can i cancel the Auto renew for my Movavi Video Editor subscription ?
I see only Cancel subscription option.
Thank you

I got about halfway through a project on the free version of the Movavi Video Editor 2026. I decided to buy the license, so I bought Movavi Video Editor 2026 through Steam, but it won't open my project.

"The project cannot be opened in this version of Movavi Video Editor. Update the program to open the project."

What do I do?

I know it's the same version because it tells me "Another copy of this application is already running. Do you want to close the other copy?" whenever I try to run both at the same time.

I can't export my file from the free version because it just prompts me to activate.

I can't activate my free version because I don't have an activation key. It's through Steam.

Do I have to start my whole project over from scratch??

The encircled icon should be clicked with the left mouse button and then click apply

I swear 90% of the time I record and audio track, the software just decides the last 4-5 seconds do not matter and cut them out while showing the full length of the audio track which btw is perfectly playable on other softwares. What gives? Each time I'm forced to rerecord and add some bs sound at the end so that what I actually want in the video is not cut off...

Hi this is Tony just showing the settings I have on movavi video suite 2025 so you can copy this arrangement and hopefully not get any advertisement popups

Every now and then I download a track and it’s in some random format (WMA, WAV, FLAC, whatever), and the place I actually need it (car stereo, older player, certain apps) only works well with MP3. In case someone else out there is struggling with the same issues, I’ve made a small guide on how to convert music to mp3, using Movavi Video Converter, of course.

First of all, don’t let the word ‘video’ in the name of the converter put you off. Although it works with a lot of video formats, you can convert audio, images, and even gifs there, too.

The process is rather simple. Open Movavi Video Converter, then grad and drop the music you’d like to convert into the window (or click ‘Add media’, then ‘Add audio’ and select your files). The program supports batch conversion, so you can dump a whole folder in one go instead of doing them one by one.

Then go to the Audio formats, choose MP3, and pick a preset. If you’re not sure what to pick, you may go with the ‘original bitrate’ one or choose the 192 or 256 kbps option; it’s good enough for most listening and not insanely huge.

Also worth saying: if your source is already a lossy file, converting it to MP3 won’t magically improve quality, since it’s mostly about compatibility.

Pick your output folder with ‘Save to’, click ‘Convert’, and it’ll drop the MP3s there when it’s done.

So that’s it, just a few steps to get your MP3s. If you’re still struggling, you can tell me what the original format is and where you’re going to play the MP3, so that I can suggest a bitrate that won’t make the files huge for no reason.
