Overall Satisfaction with Final Cut Pro X

We use Final Cut Pro X to produce professionally edited video to use for our publishers and our sales teams. Sales videos are usually 1-2 minutes and consist of a talking head and a few scenic b roll shots. Videos for our publishers vary from infographic style videos to interviews as well as story pieces to support published stories.
  • Workflow is set up nicely
  • Intuitive UI allows users to work quickly and efficiently
  • Easy to pick up the basics
  • It's too bad its only for Apple machines
  • If you change your workspace, it can be challenging to restore it
  • Specifying file structure wasn't the easiest
  • We've been able to produce videos that have led to sales leads
  • Videos that link to specific stories on our pages do well with advertising conversions
  • We have made social media ads that have led to downloads of our apps
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 learning curve.
If you need a quick and dirty solution for video editing, FCPX is a great choice. If you need a fully produced video complete with transitions, effects, color grading, keyframing, and titles, it's also a great choice. This software can be used by a light user and a very serious user and will provide the toolbox needed for both to produce any project, start to finish.
