Apple offers Final Cut Pro, a video editing platform featuring optimized for a high performance machines and supporting a wide range of quality effects.
Compared to Final Cut Pro X and iMovie, Adobe Premiere is the only software available for Mac and PC. Premiere also provides a much more complete and extensive set of editing tools and utilities compared to other software. Alternatively, iMovie provides the most user-friendly …
I used Final Cut Pro X many years ago. It wasn't as user friendly from what I can remember. Before Adobe Premiere Pro I was using iMovie and Quicktime Pro to edit my videos. Although they were sufficient for what I needed, Adobe Premiere Pro allows for more creativity with the …
Adobe products, in general, are our first choice when it comes to creative solutions so Premiere Pro was really a no-brainer. For a very short time, I did use Final Cut Pro X, but found that it lacked many of the features (transitions and audio editing effects) that Premiere …
We went with Adobe Premiere Pro because it was at a great cost point when compared to Avid. Final Cut Pro X was more of a prosumer piece of software than professional so that was quickly taken out of the mix. Premiere was just more suited for a professional, post-production …
They are similar programs. Final Cut Pro X works a little better on a Mac. They both have a similar set of features but their methodology of editing is a little different. One is not necessarily better than the other, just different. If you are on a Mac, Final Cut will perform …
Final Cut Pro X was better at handling footage playback. Red footage playback was instantaneous. But I couldn't make heads or tails of the layout. It was so radically different and I didn't have time to relearn how to use editing software. Premiere provides fairly smooth …
We actually took time in 2020 to test out Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve to see if they would be better suited for our department but ended up sticking with Premiere. Each has [its] strong suits, but the non-linear editing style of Resolve was too complicated to grasp when …
I had no problems with Final Cut. It was also easy to use and very powerful. However, Adobe Premiere Pro is part of the Adobe ecosystem, so it just makes sense to use it instead of Final Cut Pro. Of course, some people may prefer to pay a one-time fee of $300 with Final Cut vs …
We used Final Cut for a while before switching to Premiere. Overall we found Premiere to be a better and more professional video editor with a number of great and easy to use features. Couple that with the fact that it's a part of the Creative Suite and compatible with all the …
Each editor has its pros and cons. I tend to not like node-based editing, so the sliders, faders, and effects that I feel comfortable with in Photoshop and other similar programs are reflected in PPs UI. The more recently added hardware acceleration makes editing RAW 4K footage …
The cost of Premiere Pro was fairly cheaper for the number of users we wanted and the upfront cost for the alternative tools is very high. Online syncing was better with Premiere Pro, along with a lot of online storage included with our plan. Premiere Pro also works better on …
I use Adobe After Effects in partnership with Adobe Premiere Pro. Final Cut Pro I used years ago when working on a television show. I no longer use it because I don't have a Mac and I'm not about to buy one. However, if I did own a Mac, I would still use Adobe Premiere Pro …
The fact that Adobe Premiere Pro integrates so well with all the other Adobe products makes it streets ahead of the competition. The fact it is a professional video editing tool makes it a must for anyone working on being a serious video producer. The fact Adobe has been around …
Many other producers and editors prefer to use Adobe Premiere Pro over other industry alternatives because it is so widely used across post-secondary institutions and companies across the world. It can be used in conjunction with multiple other Adobe products (e.g. Photoshop & …
Product not included: Avid Media Composer. I've used Premiere, FCPX, and Avid (not bothering to include iMovie as it is not necessarily considered a "professional" product), but have most experience with Premiere. There's a laughable debate between Premiere and FCPX (Avid still …
I think Adobe Premiere is more robust and definitely a bit more for the technical creative and editor. FCPX is good but it feels more barebones compared to what is possible with Adobe Premiere Pro. I also prefer its easy integration with the rest of the Adobe Premiere Suite. …
Whereas Final Cut Pro used to be the gold standard for editing, Premiere Pro has quickly become the standard in the industry. It is much more flexible and more likely to be used by other editing studios, should you have to collaborate. Each edition of Premiere builds on the …
Premiere Pro is certainly one of the more useful and reliable NLE out there. I would be comfortable editing nearly any project on it and have confidence it would handle nearly any format in a stable and efficient manner.
I like Adobe Premiere Pro better because of the option to use a Mac or a PC. I grew up using a PC, so even when I have a Mac at my disposal I like the option to swap whenever I feel like it. Plus, to my knowledge, you cannot rent Final Cut Pro, making it the more expensive …
Adobe Premiere Pro is by far the best video software of the selected products. It does not have the best audio editing capabilities nor video graphic design capabilities but good enough ones where it can help you out in a pinch if your primary goal is to edit the video. The …
Premiere, to me, feels more modern and flexible than Avid, and more powerful than Final Cut. I find it to be the best of both worlds. I've spent years using Final Cut 7, X, and Avid Media Composer and Premiere is by far my favorite tool. While it often feels like Final Cut gets …
Camtasiais much better for desktop/lecture capture -- it doesn't really have the horsepower to do handle large video clips and the .camproj file format (which is basically xml) doesn't integrate well with any other programs. There are also inconsistent features between the MAC …
Again, this comes down to integrations with other Adobe products. Premiere Pro alone isn't enough to produce a professional video. You need other solutions for effects, audio editing, and color correction. Adobe has a full suite of solutions to assist in the professional …
I started video editing in 2005 on Adobe Premiere Pro. I used that software for 6 years, regularly every week. I found it to be extensive in the features and tools, but also confusing and cumbersome when it came to doing new things. It had a high learning curve and the editing …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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.
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 …
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 …
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.
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Law of Attraction, Meditation & Spiritual Life Coach
Chose Final Cut Pro
The user interface for Final Cut Pro X is way more intuitive. I have used and currently use a lot of Adobe products so I am very familiar with their interface, however, I am not a big fan of most of their design layouts. Their software is very powerful but not very intuitive, …
I prefer Final Cut because of the magnetic timeline and the simplified way to edit clips. In my experience with other editing software, FCPX changed some basic things about editing to make them simpler. Often, editors who are engrained in the classic ways to edit don't like …
Final Cut Pro X stacks up well against Premiere Pro in my opinion. If you're looking for something a bit more basic in functionality that's easy to use Final Cut Pro X is great. In my experience, if you're doing a much larger project with lots of editing, correcting, and many …
I find that Final Cut Pro has a better way of understanding its feature. It is more user friendly when it comes to insert transitions or any other effect. Also, the price makes a difference compared to the others. The way you edit in Final Cut Pro is different than how you edit …
Both platforms are excellent choices, I started with Final Cut Pro so I tended to use it more often even while having both. One day, I'll learn Adobe Premiere and be able to specifically say why I like it more or less than FCPX but I haven't had the time to master the Adobe …
