EDIUS Pro vs. Final Cut Pro

EDIUS is well suited for: -News production -Multi-camera productions -Documentaries -General purpose television productions -Corporate videos, YouTube videos etc. EDIUS is less appropriate for: -Cinematography -Special Effects -Commercials production

It is a one-time cost, great for aspiring video creators, and has a low barrier to entry to get started financially. There are lots of tutorials and plug-ins available online. Whether you are creating short or long-form content, FCPX is easy to use. Keep an eye on your library files since they can grow large and take up a lot of space on the hard drive.

• I would like to see some improvement with keys effects, and specifically Chroma Keys and Masks.
• Adjustment layers like Adobe Premiere would be a nice feature too.
• EDIUS of course has adjustment layers as filters, but it would be most convenient to have separate adjustment layers on the timeline.

• Would be nice to have more built in exporting options for those of use who don't know how to compress videos well.
• More built in effects would be a plus.
• I always struggle with adding text but it could just be me.

I am very much impressed with the overall dependability and reliability for the professional edit. Timeline supports multiple formats of the video and delivers best and high quality outputs. When integrated with motion ( product by Apple) gives you optical frame generation making it more powerful

Apple offers decent support, but if you're really stuck go to Twitter or various online forums. There are HUGE numbers of very avid Final Cut Pro X editors who will gladly talk through any issues you might have, point you in the right direction on the forums, and even help you troubleshoot. The community is great.

Implementing Final Cut Pro into the organization was a smooth transition from what we didn't had. We felt we went from zero to hero with this software, due to all the great features that we learned. We took some time in training staff on how to use the software but at the end, this was very useful and important.

Adobe Premiere is similar to Final Cut Pro in terms of quality and usability. Several of my friends and partners use Adobe Premiere, and we all agree they are identical. The fact that I use Apple computers made the choice easy, as Final Cut is fully integrated with the other tools I use. Final Cut is much more advanced than iMovie. However, I use iMovie directly on my iPhone in some cases. There is no accurate comparison.

• It's value for money index is excellent.
• We received back our investment more or less after couple of weeks of using that internally and stopped outsourcing editing.

• Keeps the workflow going smoothly on an edit from beginning to end edit.
• Slight negatives impact on ROI when the program becomes occasionally unstable after an update.
• Also, with Final Cut Pro X, you don't have to continually pay a monthly fee as you do with Adobe CC products... definitely a win.
