Final Cut Pro is a video editing tool catering to creative professionals, videographers, and filmmakers.
Adobe After Effects is an extremely powerful and versatile software which provides users with a comprehensive suite of tools for creating stunning visual effects.
The most disadvantage of Adobe After Effects is that it requires high requirements in the host device for the program, and its price is considered relatively high compared to other programs.
I liked that the software was easy to use and had an intuitive user interface. I also liked that it was very reliable and had a lot of features that made it easy to customize.
It was too difficult for me to learn when I am in such a high demand of editing- it took up way to much time of my editing process.
I absolutely love After Effects been using it since version 6.5, wow, almost 16 years ago and still is one of my favorite pieces of software to create motion graphics and animations.
That's why, after using it and staying subscribed for four years, I eventually cancelled my subscription and stopped using it.
I am excited to use after effects for my upcoming projects, just so I can have the best effects going for my projects.
Very tricky to use, can behave in confusing ways at times.
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.
The worst part about this software is the stock effects.
It's great for novice video editors and full-out pros. It's a great, versatile software that's really a pleasure to work with.
I could blame this on my inexperience with the software at the time.
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.
I hate that Apple didn’t let this software run on all OS.
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.
Am thinking of switching back to using it than using Priemere pro cause that has the error bug messages.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
