Considered Both Products
Final Cut Pro
Chose Final Cut Pro
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 …
Chose Final Cut Pro
Price, price, price. DaVinci may be free, but the learning grade is a bit higher, and you need a high-end machine to make it sing. Premier Pro is a subscription service bloated with tools you'll never use. FCPX is priced decently and is easy to learn.
Chose Final Cut Pro
The magnetic timeline, live previews of effects, and general ease of editing. In other words, I think it works.
Chose Final Cut Pro
iMovie is great for rapid editing of videos taken with your iPhone. It is lightweight, fast and simple. However it is extremely limited. You can not layer videos or images. The titles, Transitions and Effects are basic and there are only a few of them.

You really can't …
Chose Final Cut Pro
Final Cut Pro X is a one time purchase and Adobe Premiere Pro has monthly subscription. Final Cut Pro X takes less time to arrange your clips and Adobe Premiere Pro takes most time to arrange your clips. A beginner can do work easily on Final Cut Pro X, but a beginner can not …
Chose Final Cut Pro
I've used iMovie and Final Cut Pro. Final Cut Pro is iMovie on steroids.
Chose Final Cut Pro
Premiere and Final Cut are very similar is usage. Final Cut has less crashing and lag, but does not work well with Adobe products. You'd basically have to use all different softwares to use it best. Davinci is a different beast with a color grading portion that is unmatched by …
Chose Final Cut Pro
I have used both Final Cut Pro X and iMovie and Final Cut Pro just seems to be my go-to. Final Cut Pro X just seems to have more tools, features, functionality, and more. It also integrates with Compressor which helps when reducing file sizes. There seems to be more extras that …
Chose Final Cut Pro
I find that many users have some iMovie experience when approaching Final Cut Pro X, and thus segue quickly to it. Premiere is also a good product, timeline-based, with a very mature expansion market, possibly with a cluttered interface. DaVinci Resolve is the free product from …
Chose Final Cut Pro
Final Cut [Pro X] has way more features in a much better layout. Although it is more expensive, I believe the improved performance and advanced level of features is worth it if you are serious about video production and professionalism.
Chose Final Cut Pro
Final Cut Pro X stakes up well against the main competitors such as Adobe Premier Pro and DaVinci Resolve. Each has their strengths but Final Cut Pro X provides a competitive set of features but is optimized for the Macintosh environment. With the new M1 chips, Final Cut Pro …
Chose Final Cut Pro
Final Cut Pro X is basically the professional upgrade of iMovie - if you're familiar with that product, stepping up to FCPX is a natural progression. Avid Media Composer and Adobe Premiere Pro are both industry standard products - in all honestly, if you're an editor, you …
Chose Final Cut Pro
Final Cut Pro X has all the same features that the other two have. The price point for both Final Cut Pro X and Premier Pro are very comparable and DaVinci Resolve is a free software but I found it to not be very user friendly. We have access to both Premier Pro and Final Cut …
Chose Final Cut Pro
I briefly experimented with Adobe Premiere but wasn't crazy about the user interface. I'm so used to Final Cut Pro X and it's become such a mainstay for me that I saw no need to pursue an alternative. Final Cut Pro X certainly delivers worlds above your customary free editing …
Chose Final Cut Pro
I have hated iMovie since its inception. This probably says more about me, but I've never been able to figure out how such a simple piece of software can make me feel like such a dope! It's certainly improved over the years, and I have even used it in a pinch when I didn't have …
Chose Final Cut Pro
Final Cut Pro X is much easier to navigate and more user-friendly than Adobe Premiere. It is something a beginner can pick up and have an easy time editing, and then an experienced pro can really dig in and make something amazing out of it. Premiere can be a train wreck from …
Chose Final Cut Pro
I have used Adobe Premiere Pro but I keep going back to Final Cut Pro X because it is easier to use. At some point, I will learn Premiere Pro because from what I have heard it is much more powerful, but I am staying with Final Cut Pro for now because it is much easier to use.
Chose Final Cut Pro
I first learned to edit on Adobe Premiere Pro, and then FCP7. Comparatively, FCP7 just worked. Adobe crashed all the time (back in the day). Apple clearly also had the edge on the user interface - not just doing what NLEs had been doing for years but making improvements to the …
Chose Final Cut Pro
FCPX is very similar to Premiere Pro, and the two software are locked in a competition. Some years Premier is better, some years FCPX is better. I would say FCPX is more stable with fewer crashes, but Premier sometimes lets you customize the view a bit more. Flash is good for …
Chose Final Cut Pro
There's no comparison really. They're all non-linear editors, but FCPX is in a league of it's own. Above the rest.
Chose Final Cut Pro
Final Cut Pro X is just as good as Adobe Premier Pro but doesn't require a subscription to keep using. The one time cost was a plus for us. Although Final Cut Pro X is only available for Apple, everyone in our department uses Macs so it wasn't a problem. We've found it easier …
Chose Final Cut Pro
I cut my teeth on Media Composer and Adobe Premier. When I had a budget of nothing to start a creative services department for a Warner Bros. television affiliate, I took a chance on Final Cut (the first version). Now Final Cut X is very robust and is a killer editor. Even the …
Chose Final Cut Pro
When compared to other video editing software, Final Cut Pro X falls in the middle in terms of difficulty and functionality. iMovie (another Apple / Mac video editing software) provides many of the basic functions and features of Final Cut Pro X, while Adobe Premiere Pro CC …

Chose VEED.IO
I originally chose Veed over Descript for its easy interface. However, I am switching back to Descript because in my opinion the product is less glitchy and comes with better support and features.

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.

VEED is a very simple and effective platform to create podcast videos and short video clips for social media marketing and educational purposes. If you only have audio files that you want to share on social media, you can transform these audio files into video files that can be shared on social media. You can embed the caption into the video and insert a progress bar which makes the video produced high quality and very user-friendly to consume. We use VEED to give a taster to our clients and we build a library of snackable videos.

  • In my experience, massively buggy - does not work in Safari
  • Does not upload ProRes files in Chrome
  • Does not always save work even when displaying it does
  • Audio sync not locked
  • In my experience, Support does not understand issues, even when carefully explained
  • Timeline buggy and not consistent
  • Overall, in my opinion, just not a pro product, not useful for professional post production
  • In my opinion, not at all worth the $38 per month minimum plan required to be able to download subtitle .srt files

Usability
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

Support Rating
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.

Return on Investment
  • 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.

  • Negative return on investment due to time invested in such a, in my opinion, buggy, poorly executed application
