Great for Apple Pros
Reviewed on 27/06/2024
Pros
The UI design is clean and laid out nicely. Great for any advanced editing tools. Also, if you need to convert to different formats/types of media Final Cut Pro makes it simple.
Cons
Not great if you are just learning video editing. So many features to take in and can become overwhelming.

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.

Final Cut Pro is a must have for indie Filmmakers

Excellent program and I wouldn't be without it! If you are an indie filmmaker you must have this program. It can handle big files like a champ which is critical for me. I've struggled with other editing programs and Final Cut Pro is the only way to go for me.
Pros
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.
Cons
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.

Top-of-two Professional Video Editors
Reviewed on 21/07/2023
Working with budding artists and small businesses, we don't create gigantic full-length features,...
Working with budding artists and small businesses, we don't create gigantic full-length features, but we still want the power and flexibility of a full video editing solution. FCP has been great for us and fits perfectly into our software workflow. The software is frequently updated (both good and bad), so we often will open the app and find a feature we've been waiting for...and other times find that things have been moved or compatibility issues with old/new files.
Pros
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.
Cons
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.
