So, when should we use DemoCreator, and where is Filmora useful?

Here's what we found!

Our Findings

If you're looking to make tutorials, lectures, demos, game videos, or informational videos, with light video editing, Wondershare DemoCreator is the software for you!

But, if your focus lies in filmmaking and aesthetic videos that keep the viewers glued to the screen, Wondershare Filmora it is!

Now that you know what both the video editors are suitable for let's get down to business!

It's time to discuss the shared features of Wondershare DemoCreator and Filmora.

While both the video editors by Wondershare are best for different purposes, DemoCreator for screen recording and Filmora for video editing, they have some similar features at which they equally excel.

Here they are:

1. Screen Recording

Screen recording is the primary feature in Wondershare DemoCreator; however, it is also present in Wondershare Filmora. This handy feature allows users to select their preferred frame rate and resolution (whole screen, a selected section, or a separate window) before they start recording their screen.

When screen recording, you also get the option of selecting the audio input, i.e., microphone or system audio. This feature is quite convenient when you're recording a lecture or tutorial that only requires your voice.

The videos captured using both these tools are of high quality, making the screen recording feature especially helpful for marketers, educators, and gamers who want to create tutorials, presentations, or gaming videos for the audience. However, the DemoCreator screen recorder is more convenient in screen recording than Filmora. Because you can use the screen drawing tool to annotate the screen while recording, which can help you to convey your messages effectively!

What's more, if you want to show yourself while presenting your PowerPoint or show your webcam while game recording, the DemoCreator provided AI facial recognition, mirror, mask, and other frames for your webcam recording, which makes your facecam recording more interesting and attractive! This is something that Filmora does not have.

Using it, you can easily remove a green screen or replace the background of a video with the one you like or which is relevant to the scene.

9. Noise Removal

Another helpful feature included in Wondershare DemoCreator and Filmora is the audio noise reduction and audio noise filter feature, known as Denoise.

In Wondershare DemoCreator, this feature is automated, meaning that the software removes the background noise itself. Either this or you can replace the noisy audio with another audio track from the library.

The denoise feature in Wondershare Filmora is more detailed. Using this feature, you can cancel out background noise manually while recording your audio or from an existing audio track. When you select this option, you get various adjustment controls allowing you to amplify a certain sound during the video or to lower or remove a sound altogether. As a result, you get clear and crisp audio without any distractions.

10. Audio Fade In/Out

Another helpful feature present in Wondershare Filmora and DemoCreator is the audio fade in/out feature.

The purpose of this feature is to make the beginning and end of your audio smooth without any abruption. Also, this feature is useful for instances where you need to reduce the volume mid-track to add a voiceover and then bring it back to normal. Furthermore, if you have added 2 audio tracks, one will fade out before the next one starts fading in. This makes everything continual without any sudden endings or startings.

11. Multiple Video Tracks

If you have ever needed to work with multiple video tracks, you know what a hassle it can be to connect or overlay one clip over the other in continuation.

Wondershare Filmora and DemoCreator have made this task a breeze. With the multiple video tracks feature, users can add several videos to the timeline. The magnetic timeline approach snaps the new clip to the previous clip, eliminating gaps in your video.

Also, a plus button enables you to add clips to the timeline at the insertion point. Hence, using multiple video tracks has never been this easy, all thanks to Wondershare Filmora.

12. Sharing and Exporting

The sharing and exporting feature is a lifesaver when you're trying to directly share to social media platforms or save in different formats.

Wondershare DemoCreator gives you the option of saving your creations to your computer in the form of MP4 (HLVC), AVI, MOV, WMV, MKV, TS, WEBM, MP3, M4A, and GIF.

Filmora, on the other hand, supports almost all formats there are including, .mp4, .wmv, .avi, .mov, .f4v, .mkv, .ts, .mpg, .3gp, .webm, .gif, .mp3. It also enables you to share to YouTube, Facebook, and Vimeo in your preferred quality.

So, when it comes to sharing, Filmora stays ahead in the game.

These are the basic features shared by both the video editors by Wondershare; however, they don't really help us make a definite decision as to which one is better.

Hence, to help you choose one, we decided to list down some features that set Wondershare DemoCreator and Wondershare Filmora apart.

Why should you choose DemoCreator over Filmora or any other video editor for that matter?

Is it the facial recognition feature? No.

Oh, I know, the fantastic collection of video effects and transitions! Well, that's there in almost all video editors, even the mobile-based ones.

Then what is it that makes Wondershare DemoCreator a preferred choice?

The amazing screen recording feature with all the bells and whistles is what differentiates DemoCreator from Filmora.

With that sorted, let's have a look at some of its unique features:

1. Real-Time Screen Drawing

You heard me! DemoCreator enables its users to draw while screen recording in real-time.

This means that once you enable the "Screen + Webcam" option, a toolbar appears on the screen, using which you can write, draw, make arrows and lines, and highlight important information on the screen, all while the recording is still on!

But, when do you require real-time screen drawing? For starters, it's convenient when conducting an online class. Other than that, it helps while recording a lecture where you want to point out a certain detail and discuss it. Also, tutorials and how-tos could use this feature for a better explanation of stuff.

2. Cursor Effects

Now, this feature is pretty amazing and specific to DemoCreator's screen recording feature only.

Wondershare DemoCreator has 5 types of cursor effects: spotlight, magnify, cursor highlight, left-click rings, and left click sound. These effects make it easier for the viewer to understand what is being explained and help you highlight or magnify a particular area to explain in a better manner during screen recording sessions.

With this feature, you can add a watermark to your video to protect the copyright. DemoCreator gives you 2 watermark options: text and image. Using the text option, you can type anything to use as a watermark, while with the image option, you can upload any image and watermark your video.

4. Game Capture Mode

This feature is specifically for all the gamers out there!

As you all know that Wondershare DemoCreator is known for its screen recording feature, but what you don't know is that alongside this feature, it also gives you an option of game capture.

So, if you're into recording gaming videos with or without voiceover recording, this feature enables you to do just that by adjusting the frame rate and resolution accordingly. And once you're done recording, you can head over to the built-in editor and add sound effects, transitions, captions, or other video effects to make your video interesting and entertaining.
