Definitly in the top 5 video editing software recommended

Reviewed on 10/11/2022

Pros

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.

Cons

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 Perfect for Beginners

This software has satisfied our needs ten-fold. We’ve created dozens of microlearnings using it and other smaller videos. It’s easy to use/beginner friendly but also powerful enough to do some really cool stuff.

Pros

Ease of use. Previously, I have only used iMovie. All of a sudden I was asked to produce microlearnings for our new LMS and Final Cut Pro was the software chosen. I felt at home immediately. I get better and better each month and I owe that to the layout and accessibility of the software itself.

Cons

I have no qualms for the software at all. If anything, I want to take the next step with my video editing skills and know I must seek training and/or instructional videos.

Final Cut Rendering and Exporting Issues

Reviewed on 4/11/2021

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

There are tons of features within FCPX which makes it a very flexible tool for creating professional instructional videos.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

I required an effective yet user-friendly program to help me make video material for my social media, which was precisely what I desired.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
