Final Cut Pro is very fast and efficient video editor on our Mac devices. It support our high quality videos from 2K to even 8K editing. It supports multiple layers of special effects on our videos. We can also import many other special effects and vfx from any source for our editing. It supports allmost all different types of video and audio formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a bit costly for these limited features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

I have been fortunate to use FCPX over the last fifteen years. It is a wonderful online editing tool that delivers each and every time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing that I dislike about FCPX. It's interface and ease of use sets it apart easily from other video editing software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is unbelievably simple to use. The shortcut keys like 'C' for the cut tool make everything so simple. Plethora of options to select from which are all infinitely customizable. You will not need to rely on any customer support as most of it is self-explanatory, but a few things might need Googling like knowing what the Keyer (green screen) effect is. Great options for simple sound editing, the precision editing is really a beast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Expensive as the software and the hardware required are expensive. You will get tied down to the ecosystem. Compiling even just a 10-minute video can take a really long time. Competitors like DaVinci Resolve are pretty good as well and open source as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quick workflow with every video editing feature I'll need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Expensive to buy (but updates are free!) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its so easy to cut clips and put them on the timeline. Most of the processes are straightforward and organization can be contained inside of your projects (Libraries). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that there is little customization of the window layout, and my windows don't always stay the way I left them. I need to see audio meters and I have to open them every time. I'm sure there's a layout setting I can change to make a "custom" layout but I'd rather it just keep what I did last time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I absolutely Final Cut Pro X, especially it's simplicity. I used iMovie recreationally for years, and when my marketing company asked if I knew how to do video editing for YouTube and social media, I said yes.

I figured I'd have a steep learning curve with Final Cut Pro, but it's extremely intuitive and similar to iMovie. I don't use every advanced feature, but when I need to, I can easily find a tutorial on YouTube. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the text editor is weird when adding captions to videos, and occassionally, it'll crash if I'm doing to many edits - though that could definitely be due to my laptop. Overall, I'm very impressed with how easy Final Cut Pro X is to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
