### "Probablemente el mejor editor de vídeo para los sistemas Apple"

May 5, 2023

5.0

Pros

Obviamente si Final Cut Pro se utiliza para la realización y edición de películas será por algo. Esa calidad y equilibrio de recursos que ofrece es lo que hace que sea unos de los softwares más completos para la edición y creación de vídeos.

Cons

Esta calidad y potencia tiene un precio, y es justo eso junto con su complejidad los aspectos que le veo más negativo a este software. Es muy caro y muy complejo.

Pros

The magnetic timeline is unparalleled and the fact it's a one time payment make it very worth the money.

Cons

Having the option to be able to separate media into tracks would be helpful.

### "Final Cut Pro the big brother of Imovie"

February 14, 2023

4.0

Overall experience has been great. Something that I would like to see is perhaps a quick 10 minute tutorial about Final Cut Pro that you can select when you are a newcomer.

Pros

For me the most used options are the effects and video filters. Also the extra option of having color grading is really important, which is something that I was missing in Imovie.

Cons

It's more difficult to use when you are used to something more basic such as Imovie. But... I will say that if you are more serious about your video editing, Final Cut has way more options.

### "A classical for video editing"

June 5, 2023

5.0

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

### "Apple's Finest"

July 12, 2022

5.0

For quick projects Final Cut Pro is amazing. For very heavy editing, you need plugins and other external resources in order to get the final result you may need.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Alternatives considered

[Adobe After Effects](https://www.capterra.com/p/233259/Adobe-After-Effects/)

Reason for choosing Final Cut Pro

Easy to use, cheaper, and very intuitive. Extremely quick rendering.

### "Suped up iMovie"

February 20, 2022

3.0

I needed something that could easily play well with all the Adobe products, and this was not it. Also I just hated the over simplistic workflow and lack of third party plug ins and effects.

Pros

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

Cons

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.

### "El mejor programa para para edición "

April 11, 2022

5.0

Pros

Visualmente es muy atractiva su interfaz y por eso mismo el manejarlo puede ser mas fácil de manejar ya sea si es tu primera vez o si ya tienes mucho tiempo usando lo

Cons

Que solo esta para Mac y eso ayuda para que funcione mejor, pero si es un contra si tienes otro tipo de software

Reason for choosing Final Cut Pro

Por que la Mac con la que contaba ya tenia sus años y al ser de los mismos creadores funcionaría mejor que con un programa de terceros.

### "A (Final) Cut Above"

November 16, 2021

5.0

We're using FCPX to rapidly edit and create media for clients. Using that on our new M1 Macs has sped up our editing process and the magnetic timeline only helps with that. Great work Apple.

Pros

As with all Apple software, it's intuitive. Things are where they should be and although there's a steep curve to adapt to it, it's quickly overcome.

Cons

It looks complex. Adobe software comes with a lot of guidance, FCPX doesn't seem to have that, I felt thrown in at the deep end.

### "Best Best Best!"

October 2, 2021

My experience with Final Cut Pro is excellent and satisfying.

Pros

What I like the most about Final Cut Pro is how easy it is to use and the quality of it.

Cons

There is nothing that I did not like there but I can say that the amount of tools is overwhelming and complete.

### "Great (but expensive) solution if you love the Apple ecosystem"

February 11, 2022

5.0

A pleasant software to use, that puts you at ease and is slowly discovered as you use it. The interface is well thought out, just to avoid being scared and overwhelmed by buttons and various options. The limitation of not being able to share with Windows users is definitely worth considering if you work in a team.

Pros

This software is really intuitive and easy to use. The buttons are well placed and the rendering is handled flawlessly, making the workflow nice and smooth.

Cons

Compared to other software, you might consider the price challenging ($300 or so). I would like it if there was an internal search engine for transitions, also external and paid.

### "Final Cut Pro for Mac lovers, it is the best editing tools!"

December 12, 2022

5.0

I was pleased with Final Cut Pro, it is one of the fast video editing software that someone can find in the market right now, but it is costly...

Pros

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!!

Cons

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.

August 16, 2022

Fantastic experiences with Final Cut Pro!

Pros

If you have a mac and need to make or edit a video this is the software to use. Its easy enough for a beginner to figure out and complex enough for editors making videos for famous youtube personalities to use also.

Cons

I cant say i dont like it, but it is a mac only program. With that said if your making or editing videos you should be using a mac anyways.

### "Easily accessible high-end editing. "

November 13, 2023

5.0

Pros

Deep toolset in a fluid, easily approachable and precise interface. Ideal for beginners, but after passing the learning curve, there is a deeply complex program beneath. It is, therefore, ideal for both beginners and veterans.

Cons

Some functionality a UI features don't make sense when you have come from a program like Premiere Pro, however, with a learning curve you can get used to these.
