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.

"Final Cut Pro X, a professional video editing software"
5/5
What do you like best about Final Cut Pro X?

What's great about Final Cut Pro X is its multitude of features. Absolutely everything is possible, whether it's quick and easy editing or more advanced and professional-level 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.

"Overly complicated for the average user"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Final Cut Pro X?

I work in media outreach for a school. When I use Final Cut, I use it for its added capabilities over iMovie. Sometimes I need to utilize custom templates and graphics. 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.

"Been using FCP since 1999!"
5/5
What do you like best about Final Cut Pro X?

I love the simplicity of the structure of FCP and robust editing. I also appreciate the audio editing, which makes my interviews sound awesome by removing extraneous sounds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Final Cut Pro X?

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.

""Final Cut Pro X is the best""
4/5
What do you like best about Final Cut Pro X?

The finished Final Cut Pro X has the tools to handle all your video editing and workflow needs. A standard stroke is enough to do half a business record from start to finish. End-product specialists perform many types of video and sound recording tasks. You can transmit high-quality video documents with little or no noticeable video noise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Final Cut Pro X?

The cost is a bit high, but when you look at the features of this product, it really isn't. It's full of sound effects, and you can create great visuals with a variety of configurations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Final Cut Pro Streamlines Video Editing for Industry Professionals"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Final Cut Pro X?

Final Cut Pro X has perhaps the most streamlined interface of any major video editing software. Having recently taken on more video editing responsibilities in my job and only having some light experience in Adobe Premiere, I can confidently recommend Final Cut Pro X as the go-to editing program for both newcomers and seasoned professionals in video production. The non-linear, non-destructive editing format ensures that any edits you make do not modify original footage in any way, which is great for newcomers learning the ropes, who are more likely to make mistakes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Final Cut Pro X?

The most challenging thing about using Final Cut Pro X is getting acclimated to the considerable number of keyboard shortcuts, which are paramount if you want to become a fast and efficient editor. Truth be told, editing can be slow going when you initially use Final Cut Pro X, at least before you are familiar with the various hotkeys. Within one to two months, however, editing becomes a breeze, as the keyboard shortcuts can largely be used to control all aspects of an edit, from trimming clips and zooming into a timeline to toggling between different tools, such as the range selection or blade.
