Final Cut Pro reviews

If you are coming from iMovie, Final Cut Pro feels a bit more familiar and not as intimidating. Final Cut Pro is very friendly and take a lot less time to get used to compared to other pro level video editing software.

Not everyone might be able to afford the upfront lifetime cost of Final Cut Pro, and it might not be as reliable if you tend to collaborate with outside teams or enterprises.

Final Cut Pro is an easy to use beginner-friendly app. I started using this app first to get the basics of video editing in terms of the language, effects etc, after which I migrated to other platforms that did the same thing. The ease of access never measured up to that of Final Cut Pro so I ended up switching over back to Final Cut Pro. A great thing about it is that it doesn't utilize a lot of my battery percentage so I can get longevity on my battery life when using the software. I would recommend this software to a beginner in the world of video editing.

Ater fully editing my project I was ready and eager to export for use. The rendering process took almost forever to complete but I understood based on the nature of the task. After it completed rendering I left it overnight to export. When I got up to check the project it was at 27 PERCENT!!! I cancelled it and retried and it sat there for hours before it could be exported. I had to put off my presentation. I wished there was a prompt that indicated the issue that hindered exporting.

I have been using Final Cut Pro for sometime mainly to create numerous instructional videos. I have always relied on its great features and abilities to produce short and concise instructional videos. With the use of the powerful trimming and cutting tools, I am able to edit and rearrange footage with ease to create a seamless, cohesive videos. Additionally, the audio editing process is simplified and with abilities to adjust volume levels, remove background noise and add audio effects. The result has been very clear and easy-to-follow instructional videos. The Title and graphics include many title and graphic templates. Occasionally I would import custom graphics for enhanced visual aids and explanations for the videos. With FCPX video effects, I am able to include some transitions and filters just to add in visual interest and emphasis.

While FCPX has a great community and accessible online tutorials, I have found that the third party Video Effects/motion graphics and templates are quite expensive in comparison to Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects. Overall, It comes out as an expensive editing tool and can be complex with limited support for certain video and audio formats.

It's a one-off fee to unlock one of the best editing suites on the planet. It's incredibly simple to use, fast and powerful, and comes with lots of tools (effects, transitions and titles) to make editing quick and simple. It doesn't crash very often and autosaves after every change, making editing a frustrating-free experience.

Sharing project files is hard as there is no way to share a project library without sharing all the files (which makes is very heavy), There should be a better focus on collaborating online editing.

I can easily make videos of any duration due to it. The filters and collaborative tools help me save myself a considerable amount of time. The software allows me to post my content on my social media sites, which is incredibly useful. It has a relatively user-friendly interface despite being very powerful software.

The program is quite pricey compared to other software options, and the fact that most collaboration tools don't offer a free version is a significant issue.

Is really professional and accurate for video edition in professional environments. The sound mixer, the frame by frame edition.

Is just to be used by professionals not for amateur, also is really expensive since tou need to pay the license and to have a Apple computer

When I transitioned from Windows to macOS, Final Cut Pro was one of the first programs I installed. Being a beginner, I found it intuitive and got the hang of it in no time. With lots of tutorials available on the Internet on how to get specific things done with the software, I was never stuck, even as a beginner.

When compared with the main competition, Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro is a lot cheaper, and the one-off purchase price saves one a lot of money in the long run.

Apart from the limited number of effects you get by default, there isn't much to complain about.

I had a very good experience with Final Cut Pro. I loved using it. it is easy an intuitive. I just switched when I replaced my MacBook Air with a gaming windows pc

I hate that Apple didn’t let this software run on all OS

The magnetic timeline is unparalleled and the fact it's a one time payment make it very worth the money.

Having the option to be able to separate media into tracks would be helpful.

I think the timeline setup in FCP is one of the most simple and user-friendly I've ever encountered. It's intuitive and does things in a way that makes sense. Clips automatically move when you place a clip between them instead of overwriting the other clip. Secondary features (like text or elements) are smaller than your main content. These are the little things that matter! I also think the shortcuts in FCP are super helpful and easy to access.

I am a user of both FCP and Premiere. I personally like Premiere better because it feels more robust and has a better suite of corresponding products like After Effects, Photoshop, etc. I like to integrate projects from other programs into my video projects and that integration is seamless when you're using the same product line. I like using FCP for simpler projects where I just need to pop a few things in a timeline, add a pan/zoom, and call it a day. But that's not always the right fit in video editing.

Ease of use and clarity of features. Much less clunky than other editing software.

Sometimes the viewer is a bit slow and does have some compatibility with some formats and third party plugins.

Final Cut works seamlessly on Macs cos it takes full advantage of the fact that Apple created both the software and hardware for it, which makes it run effortlessly

Even though the software is beginning to catch up, it's use for motion design is still limited.

very easy to use and allows you to edit videos without too many loading periods

really nothing to say about fina lcut pro

It's has great transition material to use between clips, the library is organized, highly recommend!

At times, I don't know how to do things in Final Cut Pro but then I search online and find answers.

The tool is packed with the necessary resources needed to create any kind of video.

Mastering the tool want that easy, it really took me a week or so to fully master how to use Final Cut Pro.

Most I like about is the friendly design of the application to easy to use.

nothing to say as far of now, its great application out in the market.

Once familiar with the timeline and how to quickly assemble a sequence you get to benefit from so many excellent controls, filters, transitions that make editing quickly easy.

The timeline is very different to the old way of using final cut but does eventually make editing quicker

- Works perfectly on Apple M1 Chip Devices.
- Supports HDR, Dolby Vision, and Surround Sound.
- Features like Object Tracker, Chroma Key, etc. are super useful.

- Does not offer advanced editing functionality however the features present are enough at intermediate level.

Final cut pro is a pro product that Apple offers that is easy to use and is suitable for beginners and can also be used by the experienced

I've been using it for a short time so I haven't found any disadvantages with this software yet

The rendering is quick and everything is smooth on a m1 Mac

The layout could be more user friendly and more effects should be available, plus the supported codec for output is quite limited

It seems easier to use compared to Adobe.

There’s still plenty that’s not intuitive to me.
