Creative techniques for filming and editing.
The previous Filmora Effects Store is now Filmstock, which is a one-stop-shop for stock media including video effects, stock footage and photos, and royalty-free music and sound effects. You can download and use the resources in both Filmora (version 9.1 or above) and other video editing software like Adobe After Effects. In this guide, we will show you how to access Filmstock and apply video effects and media assets with Filmora. Video creators at any skill level can make spectacular videos with these stunning effects.
Note: To use video effects in Filmstock, please update Filmora to the latest version (version 9.1 or above).
Currently, you can access Filmstock directly from the Filmora application or through the Filmstock website.
