Final Cut Pro Reviews

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.

What I like the most is the ease of use, very intuitive. It can be used by beginners as well as experienced video editors. The possibility to add tons of plugins with effects, visual overhaul, text, and audio plugins is endless, making Final Cut Pro really cheap and worth the money. I love that it is version based, and you don't have to be subscribed in order to use it. The rendering is mostly extremely fast.

The out-of-the-box effects are very limited, and you need to either create your own or use third-party plugins. Also, importing HDR videos from iPhone makes the project look so bright, it takes quite some time to figure out why and how to fix it.

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.

Final Cut Pro stands out as a feature-rich video editing software for professionals. Its sleek interface facilitates effortless creation, editing, and sharing of high-quality videos. With extensive format compatibility, including 4K and 8K, and a wide array of video and audio effects, it caters to diverse editing needs. The captioning feature ensures compliance with accessibility regulations, while the precise audio editing capabilities eliminate imperfections. Notably, the "flow" transition adds a touch of magic to transitions. Overall, Final Cut Pro offers an intuitive and cost-effective solution for powerful professional editing.

While Final Cut Pro offers a range of editing features, it falls short in certain areas. The stock effects often lack professional quality, and the organization of raw files can be confusing. Integration with After Effects is absent, requiring reliance on third-party add-ons.

When I am using my Mac, I do love how seamlessly it integrates with my machine. Also, it's extremely user friendly. After just a few minutes of clicking around a novice user will be able to produce quality videos for a number of different platforms. Everything is extremely easy to locate within the program itself and seems intuitive to the user.

While it is extremely easy to learn, it's simplicity can have drawbacks. Some of the more complex functions and actions found in Premiere are missing from Final Cut. However, for a novice to mid range user (especially one using any type of Mac product) Final Cut is the clear winner of the two.

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 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

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.

This software is without any doubt the best editing video software that you can install on your Mac! Easy to use, it has most of the functionalities that someone needs during video editing. I learned to use it on the work, it was easy to find information and explanation to make use of its functionalities, color grading, white balance, motion tracking, multicam cutting, audio edition are too easy to use!!

Although this software has many functionalities, the media library of this software is poor. Therefore, you have to buy FX + transition packages /add-ons from third parties. An example, it is the autoducking, it does not have a proper autoducking, which I use quite often on my videos, all of them have background music.

Final cut is very easy to use especially on mac. The software from Apple is really a big help for me

No problem encountered in the use of this software I highly recommend

I was looking for a first time video editing software. Of course of trial basis. With a 90 day trial this was my choice. It was easy to navigate and the pre customized effects and designs were easy to use. i learnt to edit videos quickly. Cost wise, i feel it is better than monthly subscriptions payments

I got a bit overwhelmed with the steep learning curve required. The final cut pro third party effects seems quite expensive though readily available. the available resources such as effects and designs are easily editable. i could blame this on my inexperience with the software at the time.

So cool... the amount of things you can do with it is amazing

This software is a bit expensive for my taste

The many effects featured on Final Cut allow advanced editing, provided enough cpu. The time flex options operate as expected, image correction, master fx and many import/export possibilities render this software limitless.

To properly run this software on any large scale project, a high end mac is required as rendering times can be long. Not really best software for on the go/mobile production, yet this is not what was advertised. The audio editing possibilities remain basic but sufficient all the same. It is a rather expensive piece of software.

I like that Final Cut Pro is fairly easy to learn compared to other editing software so you can start editing videos quickly. The titler and the nudge function are some of my favorite features and I like that you can import projects directly from iMovie.

You can only collaborate with Mac users because it is not cross-platform compatible.

It is definitely the most professional image editing software I have used so far, with great quality and versatility.

Actually, the cost is very high, also taking into account that in the market there are already not one but several editing programs with very good standards.

You can do nearly everything you would ever need for editing within the software.

Easy to try to do too much. There are controls for many many elements that are best left to professionals and not noobs.
