It's an excellent tool, but maybe too complicated for novice video makers...so not 10. Apart from this, the one thing that could be improved ( and maybe I am a novice and cannot find how to do this!!) is creating videos with much smaller file sizes. Most of the videos in 720 are over 1 GB, and I have to use third-party software to reduce the size ( e.g., Handbrake). This is the one thing I would improve. The rest of the software is very well designed. I would love to know more easily how to use some of the tools, but my usage is very limited anyway. I do not have to buy an annual license, which is fantastic. It is expensive to start using, but there are no annual fees afterward. Perfect for my business.

Cons
Apple
  • Motion is a seperate application that ties in with FCPX but it's difficult to learn and use.
  • The first frame dictates the resolution and frame rate for the rest of the video so use the highest res video you have to get started.

InShot
  • InShot is extremely strong on mobile, but the lack of a true desktop version
  • Limited Support for Longer or More Complex Videos
  • InShot is built for individual creators, not teams.
  • While InShot offers a good selection, some effects feel dated or limited compared to more advanced editors.

Usability
Apple
Final Cut Pro is a great software package for editing, and obviously, good things require training to understand and comprehend what your are editing. I do not give a 10/10 because it would be easier to have a comprehensive manual inside the software, rather that researching or getting yourself trained.

InShot
I give InShot a 10 because it excels at what it’s designed for: fast, simple, high‑quality mobile video editing. InShot improves our workflow, reduces costs, and empowers more people across the organization to create effective visual content. InShot is consistently dependable. It rarely crashes, exports quickly, and handles everyday editing tasks smoothly. InShot’s great for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and other platforms save time and ensure our content is formatted correctly the first time. I highly recommend InShot for both personal use and business

Most of the support I need, I find online. While Apple has a Q/A section on their site, it's not always beneficial in answering the questions that I have. With that said, they regularly update the software, and when updates lead to crashes, they usually have another update not far behind.

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.

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 any other product. Although DaVinci is non-linear editing, so you essentially have to unlearn everything you know from Final Cut and Premiere.

The ability to add logos, consistent text styles, color palettes, and watermarks helps us maintain brand identity without needing a full design suite. I selected InShot because our organization prioritizes speed, mobility, and hands‑on editing control. We frequently create short‑form videos from live events, field visits, and quick internal updates, and InShot allows us to record, edit, brand, and publish directly from a mobile device.
