"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.

"Apple's CORE Editing Software"
What do you like best about Final Cut Pro X?

FCPX's ability to handle all video types is fine. I expect other editors can say the same. However, having the Apple "edge" and ability to interact with all (my) Apple devices puts a familiarity and consistency to things. The features are vast and even though I make TV commercials, I've only scratched the surface of all the tools available. One can be come VERY productive the FCPX. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Final Cut Pro X?

My only complaint is even with two monitors my editing real estate is taxed. Sometimes my timeline has so many layers that I have no choice but to scroll up or down to get to something. I would prefer having it ALL visible at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
