Final Cut Pro X Reviews & Product Details - Page 4

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that the program renders everything in the background. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that when I go to export, I don't have to wait 500 years (are you listening Adobe Premiere) for the file to render and export. I REALLY LOVE that it is super super simple to do mulitcam editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish they had better pre-installed VFX software. The color corrector could be way better. I think FCPX needs to step it up and create something that is completely integrated with VFX, Keying, Sound, Etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Final Cut Pro is industry-quality software. It has plenty of custom features to jazz up any type of video (Instagram, YouTube, TikTok). There a tons of free plugins online available that I use for transitions and special effects. While other editing software oversimplifies video editing, with the intention to make it more user-friendly, Final Cut feels navigable but advanced enough so I can achieve whatever I set my mind to.

The structure and organization of the software is confusing. I have found various incomplete video projects all over my computer and still struggle to consolidate all relevant files, projects, and media into one consistent place. I wish it were easier to package up finished projects and start new ones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As someone that's been doing video editing since the 90's, with AVID originally. I remember the first time I could have Final Cut Pro on my own personal computer at home. Mind blowing! It was truly inovative. FCP is definitely the easiest of the professional packages, to use. But even if you're just a home podcast/YouTuber, its the package you should get if you own a Apple Mac computer. Everything you need is integrated into this one package, and its very beginner friendly, if you choose to not use the advanced features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is only available on Mac OS....so if you're working with someone that is on Windows, its not going to be a seamless collaboration. Also some of the VFX can be a bit memory/drive intensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Final Cut Pro has tools to manage all angles of my video editing needs and workflow. The standard effects are enough for me to create half of my business videos from start to completion. Final Cut Pro works with many video and audio files types. I can render files to high-resolution video with little to no noticeable video noise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Final Cut Pro only works on Mac. It's a big application in terms of file size, so it can run slowly if the computer's specs aren't advanced enough to handle it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that it's not a monthly subscription, which is the main reason I chose Final Cut over Premiere Pro. For what I do (YouTube) it is more than enough to edit my videos. I love that I can get 3rd party animations so do not have to make custom animations myself. If you're transitioning from IMovie, it is pretty simple to learn and intuitive. of course, if you're trying to get into more complicated editing, you will have to watch a few tutorials.

I dislike how much you have to pay upfront. I wish that Apple offered a Payment Plan for those who maybe do not have $300 or so dollar to spend all at once. I also wish that they had a free online course to show you some of the more complicated editing you can do within Final Cut Pro since a lot of non-professionals use this app for social media marketing. That being said, there are a ton of YouTube tutorials, so it's still something you can figure out. Overall I'm very happy with final cut pro.

The one caveat is that you're stuck using Mac if you want to keep using final cut pro X. The app only works on Mac, which is why they probably allow the one-time fee. That being said, I do not see myself ever moving away from Mac Products, so that was OK; however, it's annoying that if you paid for it, you won't be able to use it on a PC if you ever do decide to switch over.

Simple to edit compared to other softwares. The function in this software is easy and handy. Color grading and chroma editing is easy and smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At times the render process becomes slow. At times the software take time to open. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Final Cut Pro X has opened up a whole new world of editing possibilities that considers every possible scenario. There are lots of very concise tutorials out there to explain its many features and so using the program will not be a mystery. Starting from no knowledge at all, I was able to edit a multi-camera shoot and assemble a 60-minute program by simply "Googling" what I wanted to do. If you are a Mac user, the interface is entirely intuitive, and better yet, if you've used iMovie, you're off to a good start in using the program immediately without a lot of information ramp-up. Having said that, it's a highly complex program, and truly mastering it will take a while. However, it's an exciting challenge and will ultimately provide the ability to make truly remarkable videos. I've been pleasantly surprised how FCPX integrates with Motion and Compressor, as well as Logic. The entire suite appears to make it capable of editing a feature film or any other professional production. Although an amateur could learn it and use it, it is a program from professionals.

Paradoxically, its complexity can sometimes be so deep as to be very daunting. There are so many features that full utilization will take some time. As mentioned, it's a challenge; however, it's very easy to opt for a simple solution to issues because a more straightforward solution would be harder to master.

Love that you can just drop down the video segments you need. Very easy to upload to vimeo, or other platform. Like the variety of transitions, fonts and sound effects and how easy it is to change those things to suit your project. I like that you can rotate the image a bit in case your shot wasn't level. Like the layout and how easy it is to find everything you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish I didn't have to delete the transitions before shortening or lengthening my clips, then adding the transitions back. Also, sometimes I try to pull a segment from the video I need but have to pull down the entire thing instead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think that FCP X has a very user-friendly interface, and I found the program to be very intuitive. It provides all of the tools needed in a professional video editing application and it being an apple product it integrates seamlessly into my workstation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that when trying to spread my FCP X session across multiple displays, you have to choose from the few pre-determined layouts that are provided. When working with similar programs, you can simply drag a window to whichever display you would like. With FCP X you have to choose which display a window is displayed from a dropdown.

I like that Final Cut Pro can be used by noivce to create stunning video editing that looks professional. The learning curve is not to difficult when learning to use the software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With Final Cut Pro, moving from one editing software can be a huge learning curve. It is not as intutive as others but once you learn it, you can make stunning edits to your videos Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
