To be real, just clicked on to support because I rarely see a sister dropping knowledge in this space. Well done on your video and I agree. Been on X since the start and have never lost a cut. Also the gamma shift in Pr was a problem for me as well. Pr is a great program, but not my axe.

I still use FCP because I bought it 8 or 9 years ago and have received every software update since for free. In the software world that’s the best $300 investment I’ve made. The Option+T keyboard shortcut to apply a cross fade between clips is a fantastic time saver.

I really liked the decoration and the consistency of the colors in the video, well done

Recently found your channel through the DJI camera reviews, but this was just perfect timing as I'd been reconsidering my Premiere Pro subscription after a year. It's quite unnerving to see that the subscription for a year is almost as much as a FCP license. So, I'll likely trial it soon, thanks for that friendly nudge! I also love your video style and aesthetic so the fact that you can make GoPro footage look as good as you do with the tools you recommended is very inspiring. - Angel

Great content creating!! very informative!

Great video. So many things to love about FCP, media management and search tools, roles, stability, simple uncluttered UI especially on a laptop which gets out of your way and just lets you create, and so on but yes the best feature has always been the magnetic timeline. Makes editing so fast (as long as you have your clip connections set up properly). I seriously couldn't go back to a track based NLE again, especially one that crashes all the time.

Thanks so much for your analysis. It was confident and gave me a lot of insight. I just got a Mac Studio and looking forward to trying it out.

Just found your channel. Love your videos! keep up the amazing work!!!

such a useful video! so clean. just waiting on FCP installing as I have HAD IT with premiere.

I gave up on Premiere two years ago because of the same issues with instability and just how slow it’s gotten. I personally use DaVinci Resolve and absolutely love it, but Final Cut is a great editor too, and the magnetic timeline is its best feature. I’d really love to see Resolve have a magnetic timeline. However, since I do some advanced compositing and effects I need Resolve. I know a lot of people will do advanced compositing in After Effects and import their renders into Final Cut.

What I think would really put Final Cut on a competitive advantage is if they had tabbed workflows and would marry Motion and FCP into one app. In Resolve there’s an edit page, a page dedicated to compositing called Fusion, and a page dedicated to rendering called the deliver page. It’s all-in-one application so there’s no need for round-tripping.

I know Final Cut has come a long way over the years and would be my next editor of choice if it weren’t for Resolve.

I have been watching your videos for a while. Cool videos. Thanks for the share!

[cristian_enea]

Very useful video if you're in that point of your life when you feel the need to forget about premiere and move on... you yt channel is awesome! 👏

[cuve_ae]

I’ve been trained & daily Premier, however with spatial video coming soon to iPhone 15 Pro & Vision Pro I’m transitioning to FCP. Thank you for the video & wish me luck.

[ChangingHoreyezons]

Thank you
I have a MacBook Pro and have been using iMovie and was about to upgrade to premier pro, but I think I will go with Final Cut Pro as I also think some of what I know from iMovie will have a slight transfer to being able to learn the program easier.

Thanks for the heads up on the fcp free trail, much appreciated.

Any thoughts on Apple Motion versus After Effects? I made the switch from Premiere to Final Cut a few years ago, just as a hobbyist, and when I couldn't figure something out I always found great, free tutorials over the years, but I haven't been as lucky with Motion. I've always found really good info and tutorials on AE, and not to say Motion info isn't out there, but I guess it just doesn't have the user-base to be covered as much as AE.

thanks! this video has helped me soooo much.

Thank you for your video!! I been looking to switch!

15 or more years ago, I used a “cut down” version of Final Cut Pro - “Final Cut Express” on a not very powerful MAC - and it worked seamlessly. I’m going to purchase, soon, Final Cut Pro - I like the idea of avoiding annual subscriptions ! One thing to bear in mind about the various editing software packages is that there’s a certain number of users of them who are very “techy” and they can usually get to grips with problems (Premiere is a very widely used piece of software and I’d be surprised if there are any really “unsolvable problems” with it). Many users - by contrast - like myself - do not have the time or inclination to bone up on some highly technical matters to “fix things”. I count myself as reasonably “computer literate” and that’s it - I suspect Apple sussed marrying a MAC operating system with video editing software specifically designed to work on it would keep people like me happy!
