The magnetic timeline can be harder to manage for complex, layered edits as opposed to Premiere Pro.

Owner

Their fluent timeline and keyword-based approach to handling and organizing clips can be frustrating when all you want to do is create folders and subfolders to organize your footage.

Training Manager

It has all the functionality that you would need with video editing and being able to make a professional or even commercial grade product for end users to view.

Also, their fluent timeline can be counter-productive when you're building a sequence like a big mosaic and need to rely on everything staying in place all the time.

Assistant Producer

I love the customizability of the command sets, and I appreciate that it can be used without experience, and with experience you can take much more advantage of it.

Technical Support Manager

Final Cut allows for more advanced editing and video making.

Graphic Designer, Media Creator, and Photographer

It is easy to get started with FCP, and It is a great option for editing short and full length videos and has basic and some advanced effects features and can be enhanced with add-ons.

Lead sales department

The fact of how expensive it was, it took forever to get it because the price was so high for so long but once I did get it, I have put it to good use

We have ventured into the Use of final cut pro for video editing and internal content development.

Art Director

Layering can sometimes feel clunky when dropping tracks and video into the timeline.  

It can be a costly program to keep up with and necessary to have a Specific operating system like osx to even use this effectively.

Founder

Also, if you need to convert to different formats/types of media Final Cut Pro makes it simple.

Jr Software Engineer

It looks so simple for me to edit, colour corrections, adding sound effects and music. And its export functionality is much faster than other video editing softwares.

Creative Director

I was a primary user but have shifted to resolve due to the lack of a seamless workflow for all file types

The magnetic timeline and unavailability of basic layers stacking

Sales support

The captioning feature ensures compliance with accessibility regulations, while the precise audio editing capabilities eliminate imperfections.

Editors in a collaborative high-pressure environment are better off with more traditional editing solutions.

University Intern

Final Cut Pro's ability to handle complex projects and its range of powerful tools makes it a top choice for professional video editors.

Final Cut Pro is a complete video editing software from Apple and has been around for many years.

IT Specialist

Powerful and easy to use as well as fits almost any apple based workflows.

Ots always updating to stay ahead never updating to catch up.

Auto Detailer

The learning curve is super small even if you did not move over from iMovie it’s intuitive.

Final Cut Pro is a robust video editing software that provides professional-grade features for video editors.

I love the built in transitions though I usually create my own after a point.  

Editor

However, it's an editing tool that you don't have to pay for subscription fee and it's sophisticated enough to win other non-professional editing tools.

Influencer

Creating motion related graphics is also effective and simple to use.

The UI design is clean and laid out nicely.

It’s amazing I’d recommend to anyone it’s easy , smooth running and I love all the many features and things you can do and use !

The only thing I dislike about Final Cut Pro is that it’s a little bit harder, at least to me, to use Motion (another software) when doing motion graphics.

Finally, Final Cut Pro is only available on Mac OS, which limits its accessibility to users who use other operating systems.

Excellent program and I wouldn't be without it!   If you are an indie filmmaker you must have this program.  

As an intern at the IT department in the university, I had the opportunity to work with Final Cut Pro on various video editing projects.

It's a great product for a very specific editing market.

Editing (trimming, cropping, syncing with audio) were all great.

You only have to buy it ONCE and for what you get it’s a really good deal.

Aid worker 

Additionally, the audio editing process is simplified and with abilities to adjust volume levels, remove background noise and add audio effects.

However, it did take some time to learn the software's advanced features, and the price may be a barrier for some users.

The software also integrates well with other Apple software, making it an ideal choice for Mac users.

i save a lot of time on tedious editing tasks thanks to its fast cut functionality

Entrepeneur

Sometimes the text editor has glitches with captions.

Overall, Final Cut Pro offers an intuitive and cost-effective solution for powerful professional editing.

Senior Marketing Manager

On that note, collaborative tools aren't as robust, but being a small firm, we rarely use those.

 Digital Content Consultant

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.

It’s easy to use especially if you moved over from iMovie.

As a result, render times are very good and the relationship between computer and software is seamless.  

Personal Trainer

I’d also like a better way to organize my files that makes sense for me.

Still a professional editing tool, although it can not be used for professional editing

The first professional video editing software that I used is Final Cut Pro.

Overall if you need some quick, engaging animations without spending hours or learning professional tools.

Web Development

Toons.ai allows me to clone myself  and create a customized animated character with full control over every detail, including facial features, clothing, accessories, and more.

It has multiple male and female characters and voices, text to script, and and AI content generator, in addition, it can make a character from a photograph, such as yourself.

I love the ability to customize the characters so they are unique to my videos, and I can reuse those characters over again in other videos for consistency across my brand.

It makes high quality ad videos that you can sell for $500.00 or more, and with the led finder you can find business customers that need your videos.

Business Development

it allows you to edit or enhance every facet of video creation process to include voiceover, background music, backgrounds, templates and animation of characters.

Photographer, Content Creator

The app offers a wide range of tools and options, allowing me to customize my animations exactly the way I envision them. Whether I want to add special effects, adjust the timing, or tweak the colors, Toons AI provides me with the freedom to bring my ideas to life effortlessly.

President

Toons.ai has allowed me to create engaging lead-capture content for social media and short advertisements for video productions.

Owner, Operations Director

most innovative is capacity to clone yourself or your client into a toon avatar, avatar customization as to hair, body, face, props etc ,.Infuse life into your toon characters with actions like running,walking, cycling, driving, working, etc.,.with hundreds of pre-designed video templates from various styles and industries,.with full-feature video editor,.with Ai video script writing features, .millions of Copyright-Free Toon Assets,..Realistic Text-To-Speech Voices ..unlimited video creations, .Best one is its for only a OneTime Payment offer, .No monthly fee required !!

Video creator 

As of now I found toons ai allows to upload videos in your project of maximum 1min length and I want it to be somewhere around 5 to 10 minutes. And I also miss the color changing features for outfit stuffs.

Marketer

It's an all-in-one AI toon video maker that allows you to create unlimited animated videos withoutwriting a single word!

I believe that Toons.ai gives me the ability to offer my customers quality videos that are captivating and highly entertaining to my clients and their clients.

CEO/Creative Director

The ability to create and customize unique characters as needed and not worry about their similarity to characters created for competitive businesses is a real benefit.

It has a pretty good render speed for videos and some good really voicover.

owner

I used the program for 14 days, and i couldn't render a single video, the render engine either got stuck, put out corrupted filed or the ones that completed were moving things around.

It also provides me with the ability to turn text into realistic male and female voices in multiple languages and accents.

Sometimes they render fine but too many times they don't render at all and stay at 0%, even after refreshing the page many times, or they go to some percent and get stuck there or they then completely disappear, or if they actually do render, they don't play or if they play, what shows on the slides is not what was created.

It can have say 5 lines stacked with media for the video and instead of the top one being the only being observed at that point on the timeline all 5 are presented at the same time.

The background for example can be a toon image, a real picture image, a toon moving action image, or any movie image you find in the onboard Library.

It seems like a nice program, it has a lot of characters, a character builder, even supposedly an image to animation program which I never seen implemented in the 14 days

I wanted a cartoon based video software generating tool that had diversity and yet did not require me to craft from scratch, Toon AI met my needs.

Animator

It has all you need (even ad copywriting is not a problem) in creating promotional materials for adveretising and projects alike.

One of my favorite components is the on board AI Script Writer. When you're out of words just give A.I. a prompt or two and it's done for you in less than a minute.

I love how I can easily create videos from over hundred's of templates and editing it to get what I want the video to flow

The final video can be a mixture toon characters, objects, backgrounds as well as real images and inported videos.

Proprietor

I haven't used Toons.ai enough to get too much into this, but my gut is telling me Toons.ai is enabling me to design/create, produce, and submit videos more quickly than ever, at a professional level.

I like that you can create avatars, I like that Paul's other products are able to be accessed the new app, and I like the ease of building and editing for clients.

I discovered that we can use the tools in many ways also for "regular" videos or "hybrid" videos (toons + regular together)=we are not limited just for "toons".

Toons.ai is a fun and innovative way to express one's creativity and storytelling skills, as well as to learn about animation and AI.

You also have ready-made video templates and an awesome video editor to add customization.

Its only a very small issue, because I have yet to find something I dont like about Toons.ai, but one thing that does bother me slightly is the fact its difficult to imagine what your final video will look like because although its easy to see how individual slides will look, you cannot easily have a low def preview of how the full finished video will look.

Also, the way [sensitive content hidden] and his team have created Toons.ai and the training webinars are set up they have not just created an app that truly follows the phrase, People don't buy Products They but solutions to Problems.

I can create quality videos for my customers in record speed time in various niches.

Trainer

Ai allows me to quickly create content videos that I can use as microlearnings.

Multimedia specialist

On top of that, being able to clone someone's portrait to create a toon with as many animations available.

Manager

I think it is a very user-friendly and intuitive website that allows anyone to create stunning cartoon videos with just a few clicks.

Founder & CEO

No camera movements available yet (i.e. zoom out/in, pan right/left/up/down, etc...)TTS audio can't be sped up or slowed down

It's annoying but not hard to figure out what's missing. Although you have included many actions it would be very helpful to be able to control the movement or positioning of the arms and hands of the characters for gestures to relate better to TTS.

Business Consultant

I like that I can take a prop from one slide template and upload it to use it for a "start from scratch"  slide!  

Overall everything has been plain sailing using Toons.ai however I have to point out that at the time of writing this review I have only purchased it a few weeks ago and have only used it for testing and trial purposes, and like anything else it will be interesting to see how it develops over time as more updates are made to it.

No option to save the video in the desired pixel. How to fade in and fade out the volume of the music track

Director

The speed of it is comparatively slower than Canva.   Besides that, for the text to speech features, the chinese accent is not available.

What sets Toons AI apart from other animation apps is the fact that it comes with a variety of templates.

Super supportive tool to express your thought process in a video format using ready-made templates
