Final Cut Pro Features

Final Cut Pro is a great video editor for the apple user who is only looking to make simple edits, this software can automatically trim our video to fit the dimensions of any social media. This video editor has custom overlays to adjust the design of our text and graphics. Final Cut Pro is optimized to offer better performance on the new generation of Mac computers. So if you have one of these PC's you will be able to render your projects much faster. In my opinion, if you are looking for a friendly video editor that allows you to make projects comfortably on your mac for any social network, final cut pro is a great option.

Final Cut Pro is expensive for the features it offers, it's a really simple video editor, and can offer us resources to make great videos for our social networks, but it's a very limited software when we want to create complex projects, for a lower price we can access video editors aimed at a more professional audience. Final Cut Pro bets on the creation of linear videos, leaving aside many functions to create a further elaborate work. If you're a video editing professional and you are looking for software that allows you to handle all aspects of our post-production, I would recommend you to look for another video editor, because most of the time you will be very limited by the features of Final Cut Pro.

It’s quick to add clips to a timeline and add transitions.

The organization of your raw files behind the scenes is a mess. Hard to find all the footage and assets. The workflow is very much like iMovie, which doesn’t seem very professional. And there is no integration with After Effects.

Getting started, FCP can be picked up really quickly. The interface makes sense and once you learn the keyboard shortcuts, the flow picks up tremendously. On top of this, it feels quick and snappy. Background processing is quick, so we can view and edit clips in high quality with little wait time. We also love that clips in the timeline move "magnetically" so we can rearrange clips without disrupting the others already placed. Lastly, the caption editor makes adding subtitles and captions as simple as dropping clips in the timeline-and it exports to all major caption formats.

FCP being exclusive to macOS, we obviously can't collaborate with users on Windows systems. On that note, collaborative tools aren't as robust, but being a small firm, we rarely use those. There's limited third-party plugin support, which we'd really love because there are some excellent color grading and filter plugins available that are incompatible with FCP without using time-consuming work arounds that not every user will be aware of.

The ease of use for multiple levels of difficulty. I'm a power user. I use it daily to create productions for brands, ad agencies and content creators. After 7+ years, I'd consider myself a higher level user. With that said, a complete novice could spend five minutes with Final Cut Pro and develop enough knowledge to put together elementary level edits. The software can be used as lightly or as heavily as needed for any job. Everything is easy to find. Unlike Adobe Premiere, there are no ridiculously complex processes to learn before being able to operate the software. It is industry-level technology with a plug-and-play design.

Lack of support for older OSX. I currently run Catalina, because my Mac was future-proofed seven years ago. It still runs better than most mid-to-high level Windows PCs. I haven't been able to upgrade to the newer version because my machine isn't updatable past Catalina. They can also improve the plugin installation process. Currently (not unlike other programs) you have to know how to navigate the root folder to add/subtract additional plugins. It could be easier.

I love that this software is accessible. Content creation is a rapidly growing industry and Apple was insightful enough to make a high-quality video editing product that anyone can learn to master.

The worst part about this software is the stock effects. At this point, it would be better for Apple to pay creators to utilize their custom cuts, LUTs, sounds, titles, etc than to keep pretending that the pre-installed ones are of professional quality. Using the built-in effects can make videos look cheap and low quality.

This software interface is very user friendly. Dragging and dropping the video on the timeline directly saves a lot of time. The effects and transitions can easily be applied to one part or the full project which makes the process very fast and smooth. The exporting options like directly uploading videos to a youtube channel directly is very helpful.

As this software is premium the best tools and plugins costs a lot of money. So the only downside is the pricing. Because of the price range a lot of my team members can not afford it. If more free tools and plugins were available then undoubtedly the users would be benefited.

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.

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.

Amazing piece of software. The sheer amount of stuff you can do on this editing software is amazing. From key-framing, to color correcting, and your regular clipping & cutting videos, it's my go-to software for video editing.

It's expensive. That's the only bad thing I have to say. I love this product.

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.

Final Cut is super intuitive to use and learn and with a one time payment you will continually receive software updates making it the most inexpensive yet most powerful professional editing software on the market.

3rd party software integration is limited compared to Premier Pro as FCP is only available for Mac and hence has a smaller user basis.

1. No subscription fee 2. Still a professional editing tool, although it can not be used for professional editing 3. The basic sound and graphic library is better than the free adobe premiere library 4. Output is still practical for social media.

1. The output is no longer compatible with ProTool, it needs the third party software to bridge, but that software has so many problem, it doesn't work well. That's the end of the professional editing software life. it's very sad that the company not invest into such a wonderful editing tools and let it die slowly over time. 2. Sound and colour correction are two weakness of this software. It's impossible for the online editing. So, it becomes the amateur editor's toy.

It fulfills every need a skilled video editor might have. It includes everything, from simple data import to advanced effects. Most of our video content is produced using green screens, and the results are consistently stunning. Numerous collaborative tools are available since this program is so widely used. It is simple to use, making it ideal for novices.

I honestly don't see any flaws with it. The cost is the only drawback in my opinion. But as I've already stated, it is unquestionably worth the investment.

Final Cut Pro is fast! The workflow is clean and neat and render times are really fast. User interface is easy to navigate and very forgiving. I love the built in transitions though I usually create my own after a point. Lots of render options which is great for web base content and film festival submissions as well as best quality product creation.

Layering can sometimes feel clunky when dropping tracks and video into the timeline. Final Cut Pro's need to snap tracks into a place of its choose is at odds with my own preferences sometimes.

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 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.

Final Cut Pro does not run on a subscription service. You only have to buy it ONCE and for what you get it’s a really good deal. It’s easy to use especially if you moved over from iMovie. The learning curve is super small even if you did not move over from iMovie it’s intuitive. The rendering speeds aren’t bad when it comes to 4K. Slicing trimming and stretching clips is all very easy in Final Cut Pro as well. Much easier to use than Adobe Premiere Pro.

The transitions and the title screens are more or less brought over from iMovie with a few added. I feel like there could be more options when it comes to the videos, pizzazz or the things that really make the video pop. Final Cut Pro. It’s a pretty basic editor. It does a really good job with green screen and other effects like that, but the transitions are just overdone. Of course you can download transitions and import them from outside sources, but I would just rather not bulk up the program if you’re using an old computer, Final Cut Pro takes up a lot of space.

This software is very easy to use, once it's opened on your system everything is just there, very easy to cut, add transitions and colour grade, My best feature was using the chroma key or ultra key cause I really love filming using ta green screen and all I had to do is search "Chroma key" and drag n' drop.

this is where I've got mixed feels cause at the time of using the software back in 2015 - 2017, don't get me wrong it was a really nice software at the time but I wanted to do so much more like some really nice transitions and motion graphics or graphics, however, I felt so limited so because of that I made the switch to Adobe Premiere Pro cause it offered so much more plus that's what the pros were using, so that caused me to jump ship

I use the caption feature extensively so that our teaching videos comply with accessibility regulations. The auto-generated captions that Google, Stream etc. produce are often wildly inaccurate, and Final Cut Pro allows me to tweak the till my heart's content. Audio editing is very good allowing me to easily take out pops and gaps. My favourite feature I the 'flow' transition which works like some kind of magic is happening.

You are rather limited in output formats and you sometimes have to jump through a few hoops to get something done, but compared to Premiere it's pretty easy to get to grips with.

Let's start by emphasizing that it's an Apple product, and like everything from Apple, it's perfectly developed, design and integrated into the ecosystem. The editing functions are so many, the effects and transitions are beautiful and useful, and, although I don't consider it easy to use, I don't consider it difficult either, with some practice you learn to use it and it becomes very fun to create audiovisual content there. Finally, the rendering speed is lightning fast, the fastest of all video editing programs.

Absolutely nothing, and I'm being totally neutral.

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.

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.

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.

The only thing I did not like much in Final Cut Pro is, its project file occupies more space in your storage. If a cloud base storage was integrated with this software, It becomes the best one for me.

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.

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.
