It is only available on MacOs and is a bit expensive too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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.
i have used many of the video editing apps/softwares but among all the app and softwares the final cut pro X is the only one software which give all type of editing options for video also we can add effects and preset to the video also it is. easy to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
i can say i dont dislike anything about final cut pro X its the best 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
FCP has hardly any limits when it comes to features.
You can easily show and hide things according to what you need.
Integrated with other SW.
Fast and Smooth
Does not Crash! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Takes time to learn and understand.
Transitions are NOT intuitive (Should be like in ScreenFlow).
Screen recording is missing.
Keyframes are not the most easy way to work, but yet extremely frexible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
it has a simple user-interface, the export time is pretty less when compared to premiere pro or other nle and combining with a m1 macbook pro, the export feels like air Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
few of the features are lacking in final cut pro when compared to premiere pro and davinci resolve which limits you to reach your true editing potential, especially working on a project that requires vfx Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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.
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 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.
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.

I love that Final Cut Pro is intuitive and simple to quickly get a project done, but the advanced features are also there if you need them, or when you have time to learn about them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Final Cut Pro X needs and uses a lot of disk space - there are techniques to manage this, but often I find people learn the hard way. I wish that the software was more clear about this issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
