What do you like best about Final Cut Pro X?

I love the magnetic timeline!.. It took some getting used to initially; however, the speed of editing that comes with the quick adjustments that can be done makes this feature remarkable! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Final Cut Pro X?

For me, the rendering that occurs in the background can be weighty on my system. I choose to disable the feature in order to have my system perform better with speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Final Cut Pro X solving and how is that benefiting you?

Final Cut Pro X solves an array of business functions in-house for us. We use it to produce short-form and full-length videos for our logo and client logos. We can generate ideas immediately and bring them to fruition sooner because the entire suite is accessible for production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Final Cut Pro X?

The way that you can edit a video in the timeline so quickly, the speed with which you can use and edit the audio and even convert it to multi-channel audio (in a generic way, of course).

I love how quickly I can colorize the image using the program's tools or being able to use preset colors with third-party tools.

You can use the filters that come with the program or the animated titles it includes for quick work.

You can work with video in different resolutions, from 480p to 8K video, and in standard or HDR format (it is necessary to change the project to HDR to edit video in HDR).

Exporting the video is very easy. You can use the compressor program (from the same company) to fine-tune details for exporting a specific format for a particular streaming service.

It is, without a doubt, my favorite tool for video editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Final Cut Pro X?

Sometimes the timeline is a bit slow when moving the clips (it crashes a few times, but it isn't enjoyable).

Arranging the audio at the beginning or end of a clip can be very tedious due to the small tool it has to do this function.

I feel that it needs a significant update to compete with other programs and to take advantage of the full potential of the new computers with the new M1 and M2 processors, don't get me wrong, the program works spectacularly on these machines. Still, I think an update would not hurt specified for these chips. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Final Cut Pro X solving and how is that benefiting you?

Quick editing for a company project (internal communication or tutorials) or for the creation of videos for social networks, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter and WhatsApp stories. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Final Cut Pro X?

It has a lot of built-in features and stock sound bytes that one can freely use when making videos. There are numerous third-party extensions and plug-ins for enhancing the abilities of the video production software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Final Cut Pro X?

It can sometimes be a bit complicated. The interface is not always so intuitive. It can take a very long time to render some videos and can be slow if your computer is not powerful enough. The application itself is a very large file size. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Final Cut Pro X solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use FCPX for creating and sharing videos of my travels with my family and on YouTube. I find it to be a more complete solution than iMovie. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Final Cut Pro X?

FCPX can do pretty much everything you need in terms of video editing. The thing I like best is that we paid £200 back in 1825 (I can't find the precise date) and haven't been asked to pay more since, other than ~£45 for Motion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Final Cut Pro X?

It's not the most intuitive software (but what pro-level NLE is?) and I hate the library bloat as it sucks in media, then makes proxies AND renders & so on.

It could work better with cloud systems - iCloud doesn't offer the terabyte levels of storage that you need for video work, and it doesn't always play particularly nicely with other enterprise cloud services like dropbox. We had one import issue which Apple blamed on the cloud service we were using, and constantly have to relink media when two users are working on one library.

It would also be good if there was a non-Mac version so we could off-shore bulk editing like you can with Premier Pro and more-so DaVinci Resolve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Final Cut Pro X solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use it daily for video editing, both in-house and for clients. It allows us to relatively rapidly edit pretty much everything thrown our way. It's tight integration with Apple Silicon is really important with massively intensive tasks like 4k/8K+ editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Final Cut Pro X?

What can be somewhat confusing at first is precisely the multitude of features in Final Cut Pro X. Sometimes, it can be a bit challenging to accomplish tasks that may seem simple at first glance. However, it is precisely this power that contributes to this situation, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Final Cut Pro X?

Project files took up way too much space. Also, I would run into processing issues constantly let's say the video title said "Johnny." it would be correct in editing but after exporting the movie it would just say "J". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That clips become attached to each other in the timeline, which makes re-editing a little more cumbersome. I would appreciate separate tracks like in version 7. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
