A game changer from Apple
Reviewed on 2024-09-25
Pros
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.
Cons
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.

Final Cut Pro was the reason I purchased my first Mac. It was much more expensive back then but came with a complete suite of tools for color grading and exporting. While the price dropping is much appreciated, I wish they kept color and further developed it. Overall, I am still happy with Final Cut as I feel it is easier to use than Premiere Pro and Avid has always been too expensive.
Pros
- Pricing, it used to be 3 times more when it was offered as part of a suite, since Apple switched to pro-sumer, they made Final Cut very affordable.
- Simple to use for beginners.
- A wide variety of plugins available
Cons
- Not available on Windows, I do not understand why they keep some softwares Mac only.
- Lack of integration with other softwares. I use After Effect and Cinema 4D a lot and the integration with Motion is not really interesting to most Video Editors in my circle.

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.

Its been wonderful. I enjoy getting an idea and figuring it out on final cut pro. If you think it, you can do it. Most likely with some help from those on youtube that are better at it.
Pros
I have been using Final Cut for a long time. When I was a student in highschool this was a really hard tool to use. We used it because it was a great product but it was very difficult. I remember seeing a library of manuals for it in our lab. However, years ago they came out with FCPX and it is very user friendly now for the basics, yet still has the depth to do anything.
Cons
Wish their was more transitions, effects, etc. You can find tons of this online for a cost or even free sometimes but I wish the program itself had more to start with.
