"High-Performance Video Editing for Mac Developers"
What do you like best about Final Cut Pro X?

I like Final Cut Pro X for its speed and stability, made possible by Apple-optimized performance, the magnetic timeline, background rendering, and seamless Motion integration, all of which contribute to precise and efficient video workflows. I also appreciate how easy the initial setup was, with straightforward installation and fast library syncing, and how quickly our team adapted to the magnetic timeline with minimal learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Final Cut Pro X?

I find the limited cross-platform support, weaker built-in audio tools, and fewer advanced collaboration features to be drawbacks, especially for large, multi-editor or mixed-OS production teams. Additionally, lacking native multi-user collaboration and more flexible plugin support could enhance productivity for complex projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortlessly Powerful Editing with Final Cut Pro X"
What do you like best about Final Cut Pro X?

I find Final Cut Pro X easy to make videos, titles, with awesome render quality and it is very fast, especially for 4K videos. I mostly use it for video editing and color correction, and its templates are perfect for intros and outros. The Pixel Film Studio plugins and effect packages sync smoothly without any problem. I am particularly fond of the templates, video effects, and the audio and sound effects library available inside the app. It's easy to export and saves me time, plus I can do color correction while editing. The magnetic timeline makes editing easy, quick, and less confusing, and it handles multiple layers efficiently. Final Cut Pro X runs very efficiently, handling high-quality raw footage without any lag or crash. The app is very easy to use, easy to understand, and easy to render videos, which makes it perfect for beginners starting a career in video editing or VFX. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Final Cut Pro X?

I think the software could improve more advanced color grading tools because it will give 99% accurate colors for beginner to advanced level video editors or VFX artists. My suggestion is to add 3D elements tools or support FBX files or OBJ files directly, or make it easy to sync with Cinema 4D to create motion graphics or 3D motion graphics.

"My go to editing software - by a long shot"
What do you like best about Final Cut Pro X?

The magnetic timeline is such a gamechanger. I used to swear by other video editing programs; however, I now can't stand the thought of even needing to use them. Do yourself a favor if you own a Mac, and give FCPX a try. You'll never look back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Final Cut Pro X?

There's really nothing that I dislike about the program itself, but there are many more community created templates and tools for other video editing programs. It's a bit more time consuming, though you can use Apple Motion to generate your own, then the tradeoff is templates as well as tools exactly the way you want them.

"Final Cut Pro is fantastic!"
What do you like best about Final Cut Pro X?

I have been using Final Cut Pro now for the past 5 years and love it.

Its a big step up from the free version (iMovie).

There are endless options for editing your videos and making amazing content Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Final Cut Pro X?

The only downside of Final Cut Pro would be the learning curve. There is a lot to learn to become a sufficient video editor. But once you learn a a lot of the short cuts, it is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Video Editing Software"
What do you like best about Final Cut Pro X?

Final Cut Pro X is my go to software for all my video and audio editing needs. It is quite advanced. Yet with a background with Imovie software I was able to catch on. I'm still learning new features as new projects come up. It has all features you may need and plugins to add for additional cost for more advanced tools. The option is there and that's what makes it the best in my opinion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Final Cut Pro X?

Sometimes it is not easy to figure out how to use a particular feature and it may require searching for tutorials from external sources. Yet I believe this is the case with most softwares. It is a great software but can only be mastered by those who have an extensive experience and background in editing, photography and videography. The average person will struggle but it's not impossible to figure it out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
