I’m shocked
Ohkrzysiu
I’m a video artist, also working in film making and commercials. I have tried many programs – some were better some worse. This one shocked me! It’s intuitive, quick with render and precise with previews. Gives me total (but easy and again – intuitive) control over colors, contrast and motion.This is the best spent money in many years. Really, I highly recommend it to both proffesionals and amateurs.
Get back to the innovation
Go back to be apple
I’ve been using Final Cut Pro since its early days, dedicating countless hours to a system I truly love. It’s disappointing to see that Apple no longer develops Final Cut with the same ambition and innovation as in the past. Today, it’s simple, fast, and functional — but it has fallen far behind the competition. If you’re looking for something straightforward, Final Cut Pro still works well. However, if you aim to work at a professional level, it’s time to consider other options. Final Cut Pro and Apple were once the pillars of the digital creative revolution — it was an incredible era. Now, it’s time for Apple to reclaim that spirit.
User interface is the waek point but ...
Richard Coldman - editor
With FCPX, Apple tried to reinvent the wheel. Unfortunately, in doing this they dumped a lot of the user-intuitive aspects that other applications had retained the by imitating tradtional film and video editing methods. As a professional editor with over 30 years experience, unlike other non-linear editing systems, FCPX has taken me a long time to get used to but, having said that, I acknowledge that it's made very good use of the evolving architecture of Apple's machines. Today I give it 4 stars for it's usefulness. With a better interface it would have deserved 5 stars but it's too late for that.
Long time relationship
artra001
Well, I am using FC from more than 25 years, version by version, but in last few years I was using It on High Sierra, and I was satisfied - it was very fluent and the only problem was my = year by year older - iMac 5K. From last 2 weeks I am using updated version of FC on Sequoia, Mac mini Pro m4 64RAM. And I am a little bit confused - I am still not sure is it working better? Faster but less fluent? Is it a problem of new version of FCX or operating system?
