Product Designer Media Production Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great features all round " November 16, 2023 5.0 Pros The range of the features the platform offers is the main selling point. The software is easy to use, for novice and professional. Cons The one issue I have against the software is the fact that it only works on iOS. Review Source SG Stella G. Scientist Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The app for Apple users" May 5, 2022 5.0 Great experience!! Pros If you have Apple products I should say the best way to go is with Final Cut Pro. The design is beautiful and intelligent and I am sure you can even make very good materials. A feature I like more is its capacity to detect faces and objects. Cons I think that starting using the features of this software takes an amount of time. I could also add the price.

CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Final cut pro review " October 12, 2022 5.0 Pros Final cut pro is an easy to use, stable and fast software and it is also the best video editing software on mac Cons The video exports on final cut pro are not very long Review Source BK Ben K. journaliste Broadcast Media Used the software for: 2+ years ### "review final cut" October 9, 2022 5.0 Pros this software is very simple for video editing and moreover free Cons I have not encountered any problems with this software and does its job well. Review Source AV Allen V. Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Better than iMovie, but not pro level for many years" January 19, 2024 4.0 Easy to use, runs smooth, but not as many features or as well priced as others. Pros It's much simpler than some of the other options out there, and it (obviously) runs really well natively on Mac. Cons A subscription price for a video editing program that isn't even as good as some of the free options out there. We went with a different software. Alternatives considered [DaVinci Resolve](https://www.capterra.com/p/209733/DaVinci-Resolve/) Reason for choosing Final Cut Pro I didn't. We chose Davinci Resolve over Final Cut and have no regrets.

Instructor Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quality in FCPX" August 28, 2022 5.0 I was fascinated by the lightness and effortless way that FCPX offers your work. The best for short films and music videos. Pros What I like most about FCPX Pro are its high quality at different levels of film and video making and countless output possibilities. Also, rendering is pretty fast in comparison to the concurrence. Then, Multicam editing is superb, a real masterpiece. Cons Its main trait, the magnetic timeline, at first it’s a little difficult to manage. And also the project’s file size increases over and over by the software’s background rendering activity.

Worship Individual & Family Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Love & Hate Relationship" February 7, 2022 4.0 Pros I was looking for a first time video editing software. Of course of trial basis. With a 90 day trial this was my choice. It was easy to navigate and the pre customized effects and designs were easy to use. i learnt to edit videos quickly. Cost wise, i feel it is better than monthly subscriptions payments Cons I got a bit overwhelmed with the steep learning curve required. The final cut pro third party effects seems quite expensive though readily available. the available resources such as effects and designs are easily editable. i could blame this on my inexperience with the software at the time.

RRHH, Recruiter Computer Software Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "El editor de video mas soñado" November 30, 2023 5.0 Me gusta, es el editor de videos mas querido y de preferencia para todos los dispositivos Apple Inc. Pros La facilidad de uso, la interfaz intuitiva Cons Sin tiempo de aprendizaje te perdes de muchas funcionalidades un poco mas dificiles Review Source AW Andrew W. Development Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "FCP- is the deep end but also not as scary as it seems" May 17, 2022 5.0 Really helped the team 'level up' our editing and allowed novices to produce nearly pro-level product without hours and hours of learning. Pros You can do nearly everything you would ever need for editing within the software. Cons Easy to try to do too much. There are controls for many many elements that are best left to professionals and not noobs. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Creative Director Animation Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Broad Functionality" March 24, 2022 5.0 Final cut pro has helped me to accomplish wide range of tasks including animation, motion graphics, and post production features all at once. Pros Final Cut Pro is a very powerful video editing software with wide range of functionalities, powerful enough to handle big movie project editings and comes with lots of third party plugins that makes projects such as motion graphics, vfx, colour grading easier to work on with it Cons It's very complex to understand for beginners, it's kind of hard to navigate all the features you'll be needing on time.

Entrepeneur Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Video editing power in a simple interface" April 27, 2023 5.0 I would say so so because I haven't really use it a lot, there are more options and more compatible. Pros Final Cut really is a great software for video editing easy to use and powerlful Cons Sometimes the text editor has glitches with captions. Review Source CS Cheick S. Marketing manager Oil & Energy Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Final cut review" November 22, 2022 5.0 Pros Final cut is very good video editing software. Beginner friendly and free Cons The calibration table is in my opinion very short which is a disadvantage of this software Review Source cA christy A. Self employed Media Production Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Final Cut Pro - Professional Video production workspace" October 13, 2021 5.0 Great for rendering professional standard videos. Despite the learning curve can be steep, Final Cut Pro can do it all. Pros 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. Cons 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. Review Source SMM Simon Mateo M. Team Cordinator Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Master of masters" August 5, 2022 5.0 It is very clear that it is without a doubt the best professional image editing program with the highest standards, so on my part I am totally satisfied with its use and versatility. Pros It is definitely the most professional image editing software I have used so far, with great quality and versatility. Cons Actually, the cost is very high, also taking into account that in the market there are already not one but several editing programs with very good standards. Review Source TM Tyson M. Sales Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Only for full time, casual users are screwed" May 10, 2022 3.0 If someone has endless time to watch YouTube tutorials and call customer service, it’s probably fine. Normal people have no prayer Pros It used to be fairly easy to use basic functions to make simple videos. Then if I wanted to try some advanced features. But it’s a nightmare to export and upload to other sites Cons I literally can’t even get a photo to upload. I used to drag and drop, and use the basic functions easily. I can’t even get one photo into my project’s timeline. Wasted 2 hours Review Source MF Massimo F. Impiegato Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Ottimo software per video editing se in possesso di un Mac" February 3, 2023 4.0 Pros Ottima integrazione con il sistema operativo, fluidità di rendering e interfaccia veramente amichevole. L'acquisto del software viene fatto una tantum e a vita Cons Alcune funzioni potrebbero essere più complete e professionali, soprattutto sulla color correction, senza essere costretti ad acquistare degli add-on Review Source MG Marco G. Graphic & Web Designer Oil & Energy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Alternativa "solo Apple" a Premiere Pro" February 3, 2023 5.0 è un buon software e lo consiglio a chi utilizza un ecosistema "solo Apple", o se deve gestire video realizzati con l'iPhone. Pros Il programma è piuttosto intuitivo e abbastanza semplice da utilizzare. L'interfaccia è ben fatta e i video rimangono fluidi durante la fase di lavoro. Cons Il fatto che sia un'esclusiva Apple ne limita la diffusione, a lungo andare ho preferito passare a Adobe Premiere Pro per questo motivo. Review Source Henry B. Digital Media Specialist Higher Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Useful Tool" October 11, 2023 4.0 Pros The variety of editing transitions, effects, etc - are terrific. Cons Compared to other editing software, I found this to be not as user friendly and also a little more expensive. Review Source RQ Renea Q. Artist Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 2+ years ### "How Final Cut Pro has made editing easy" April 15, 2022 4.0 Pros I like that Final Cut Pro is fairly easy to learn compared to other editing software so you can start editing videos quickly. The titler and the nudge function are some of my favorite features and I like that you can import projects directly from iMovie. Cons You can only collaborate with Mac users because it is not cross-platform compatible. Review Source JT James T. Teacher Music Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good software for video editing " November 24, 2023 4.0 Very good experience from start to end of projects Pros It has a good workflow and there is a lot of support on the internet Cons Can be confusing at times when your not familiar Review Source DC Dorian C. Music Producer Music Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Top video editor " May 11, 2023 5.0 Pros We used it to edit music videos, it has a great interface and functionality and we got much more out of it than iMovie. Cons It wasn’t worth the price to me, but I’m not a full time video editor. For those working in video it would be great. Review Source LF Louisa F. Head of Global Marketing & Communication Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great video editing tool" March 16, 2023 5.0 Pros It can do pretty much everything you need in terms of video editing.One time payment for a lifetime product. Cons Final Cut Pro X needs and uses a lot of disk space and it can lead to some sort of lagging or issues. It's best to use with an external SSD.
