Definitly in the top 5 video editing software recommended
Reviewed on 10/11/2022
Pros
If you are coming from iMovie, Final Cut Pro feels a bit more familiar and not as intimidating. Final Cut Pro is very friendly and take a lot less time to get used to compared to other pro level video editing software.
Cons
Not everyone might be able to afford the upfront lifetime cost of Final Cut Pro, and it might not be as reliable if you tend to collaborate with outside teams or enterprises.

For quick projects Final Cut Pro is amazing. For very heavy editing, you need plugins and other external resources in order to get the final result you may need.
Pros
What I like the most is the ease of use, very intuitive. It can be used by beginners as well as experienced video editors. The possibility to add tons of plugins with effects, visual overhaul, text, and audio plugins is endless, making Final Cut Pro really cheap and worth the money. I love that it is version based, and you don't have to be subscribed in order to use it. The rendering is mostly extremely fast.
Cons
The out-of-the-box effects are very limited, and you need to either create your own or use third-party plugins. Also, importing HDR videos from iPhone makes the project look so bright, it takes quite some time to figure out why and how to fix it.

Final Cut Rendering and Exporting Issues
Reviewed on 04/11/2021
Pros
Final Cut Pro is an easy to use beginner-friendly app. I started using this app first to get the basics of video editing in terms of the language, effects etc, after which I migrated to other platforms that did the same thing. The ease of access never measured up to that of Final Cut Pro so I ended up switching over back to Final Cut Pro. A great thing about it is that it doesn't utilize a lot of my battery percentage so I can get longevity on my battery life when using the software. I would recommend this software to a beginner in the world of video editing.
Cons
Ater fully editing my project I was ready and eager to export for use. The rendering process took almost forever to complete but I understood based on the nature of the task. After it completed rendering I left it overnight to export. When I got up to check the project it was at 27 PERCENT!!! I cancelled it and retried and it sat there for hours before it could be exported. I had to put off my presentation. I wished there was a prompt that indicated the issue that hindered exporting.

For powerful and feature-rich video editing software, Final Cut Pro is a great choice. Create and edit amazing videos using it. It's also simple to use. Motion tracking and motion graphics are missing, and it's pricey. If you want high-quality video editing software, Final Cut Pro is worth investigating.
Pros
I like the interface to be user-friendly and intuitive. It offers me a wide range of tools and features, including 4K, 5K, and HEVC encoding. The advanced color grading tools make it easy to customize my videos. It also comes loaded with audio effects, soundtracks, and more. Plus, it includes a comprehensive library of soundtracks, sound effects, and more. Furthermore, it is compatible with a wide range of devices and formats.
Cons
When it comes to video editing, I find Adobe Premiere Pro to be more expensive than other programs. It also has fewer features than Adobe Premiere Pro and doesn't offer any help with motion graphics or tracking.

Best video editor for Mac
Reviewed on 10/07/2022
Pros
When I am using my Mac, I do love how seamlessly it integrates with my machine. Also, it's extremely user friendly. After just a few minutes of clicking around a novice user will be able to produce quality videos for a number of different platforms. Everything is extremely easy to locate within the program itself and seems intuitive to the user.
Cons
While it is extremely easy to learn, it's simplicity can have drawbacks. Some of the more complex functions and actions found in Premiere are missing from Final Cut. However, for a novice to mid range user (especially one using any type of Mac product) Final Cut is the clear winner of the two.
