    The best scenarios for using Final Cut Pro are any and every scenario where you want to have the greatest control over your editorial needs without the complexity or useless slop that other platforms throw in to seemingly look stronger. Final Cut Pro keeps the editorial experience clean, uncluttered and exactly what it should be - intuitive. That's one word we often come back to because it's one of those things where you really shouldn't have to 'think' about where you can find the right tool to use for your edits... it should be 'right there' where you would think it should be - and in Final Cut Pro, that's almost always where we find it.

    Anchor is a great podcast app for folks just starting out with podcasting or who want some of the technical things to be streamlined and simplified. With the built-in audience of Spotify subscribers, it's also easy to get started with a listening audience. There are easy ways to connect to other Podcast platforms and easy ways to integrate ads if that's something you want to do as a podcaster.

    Cons
    Apple
    • The tool palettes and toolbars are sometime difficult to decipher.
    • Some advanced features are not easy to find.
    • Floating descriptive menu whenever the mouse moves on the tool might help.
    • So many tools that a novice is easily lost.
    • A menu of all the keyboard shortcuts would be useful.

    • Monetization features are currently present in only a limited number of countries, I look forward to the various monetization features like pre-roll and mid-roll ads to be made available soon in my country India.
    • Add more platforms to its distribution services such as Amazon Music and similar ones so that we would not be required to submit the RSS Feed to platforms manually.

    Usability
    Apple
    Fast shortcuts and editing tools make this an efficient piece of software for any skilled video editor. From newbies to experienced editors, FCPX can be used by almost anyone. It is easy to learn but takes time to master. Add Motion for even more effects and punchouts on your videos.

    It's intuitive from the moment you log in until you publish. The only reason I'm not giving it a 10 is because some sections aren't translated into Spanish, and while it's not a problem for me, it's something that could be improved. Furthermore, the design is very clean and doesn't feel overwhelming with options. Everything is where it should be, and the process for publishing episodes is clear. Es intuitivo desde el momento que entras hasta que publicas. Si no le pongo un 10 es porque hay ciertas secciones que no aparecen traducidas al español, y aunque no me supone un problema, es algo mejorable. Además, el diseño es muy limpio y no da sensación de "saturación" de opciones. Todo está donde debe estar y el proceso para publicar los episodios es claro.

    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.

    Anchor is less expensive and, in my opinion, much easier to use than SoundCloud for podcasting. Anchor makes syndication easy, and their recording and editing interfaces are clean and intuitive. SoundCloud seemed somewhat cumbersome to use, and I didn't care for its UI. Honestly, they seem better suited for other use cases.

    • Taught us how yo properly organize and schedule our show.
    • Anchor's integration with Spotify allows use of Spotify's wide library.
    • Doesn't play well with outside ad agencies, Makes it difficult to be open to all kinds of ad agencies, thus reducing possible revenue.
