Tell ‘em Jesse. Videos like this make me happy I spent my months learning FCPX and not Premiere, I just want to get stuck into Apple motion now so I can stick it to all the job posts only accepting Adobe with some mad content 😂
Noah Bershatsky I’ve been using FCPX for 5 years and I’m actually considering switching to Resolve. Speed ramping on it is easy as well. Not as easy as fcpx but not hard either and you have way more control
I am one of those people who was still making fun of FCPX just 5 months ago. I made the switch a couple of months ago and I have nothing but praise for FCPX. I started editing on Final Cut Pro 3 in 2002. I was upset at Apple for changing it, but now that I understand why they did it, it was the best move. It’s amazing being back using Final Cut Pro again. The reason I believe it's so good is it can start out as a simple software, but the more you delve deeper into it you unlock all these amazing tools. Anyone who stops at the basics never gets to see that.
Thomas Boyle for real too many people bash it. I’ve seen countless jobs that say they only take people who use premiere and it’s annoying bc you can basically do all the and things if you know how!
FCPX is fantastic so many professional movie editors use it too! I just wish as a community we all just respected each other’s opinions. End of the day use what is best for you
Once you get your head around the magnetic timeline you'll realise it runs circles around Premiere Pro. Regarding motion graphics either use plugins or better yet spend $35 and get Apple Motion.
TheGreenMind I love DaVinci for ColorGrading but idk how to feel about editing with it. I personally love the intergration with After Effects and I thought about switching to Final Cut Pro X since the price of Premiere is so high. My problem is that I use AfterEffects, Photoshop and Lightroom but there’s no bundle where I can just get those programs. If I would get the Photo package I pay around 20$ plus 30$ extra for AE, which results in 50$ for which I can get the whole suit. I’m gonna stick to Premiere Pro for now but will use Final Cut for YT and DaVinci Studio for ColorGrading. It’s just easier for me that way :P
Premiere pro almost me quit trying to learn editing, thought I needed a new computer, slowed me down, and costs way too much!! And for those reasons.. I had to be out. FCPX is a dream come true!
Motion 5 integrates with FCPX very well. Can create motion graphics in Motion and edit nearly every aspect of it in FC if you publish the parts you want to change. Very powerful combination.
I use Final Cut Pro X, and the way you speed ramp, is that you put your marker where you want the speed ramp to start, press shift+b and then you can drag the clip out, making it faster or slower. If you want some good plugins, chech out Pixelfilmstudios, they make a lot of awesome plugins 👌 Edit: I wrote this comment before Daniel told to install Pixelfilmstudios plugins. They're the best.
Dunno why but Pixelfilm plugins jammed my iMac Pro and FCPX totally. After a couple of reinstalls I gave up and removed them for good. Since then my FCPX is running nice and smooth. The installer is also a bit suspicious - was it some malware or what? The plugins are nice though.
I have always used FCPX and every time I tried to open Premiere I quit it right away. Found it cumbersome and the everything tiny and the interface complicated and isTotally different than FCPX which seems to be more "user friendly". Premiere would crash all the time, rendering was a pain and monthly fees is stupid.. I am actually studying editing straight in Davinci Resolve at the moment which seems like the best move. I have a Blackmagic Pocket 6K. But I have so many transitions and plug ins in FCPX I always seem to finish things off in FCPX. Your kid is adorable by the way!! Hope you guys are safe!
@@bradoncoy6473 Sorry, but I actually hate the adobe system of online monthly subscriptions. Most people I know are dumping adobe right and left. I use Capture One for Photos and FCPX and Davinci for video.. No need for anything adobe except photoshop which I still us CC2019 OFFLINE version.
@@ekphotography Davinci Resolve all the way. I don't use anything else anymore. Even the audio utility is good enough to keep me from switching to Audition...well most of the time anyway :D
I made the switch for these reasons too and I haven’t regretted it! I also dabble with Lumafusion on my iPad Pro, and now that you can render out an FCP XML, the workflow is even smoother for that use case.
Scrivs would you mind explaining to me how i can setup easy ease keyframes? i loved using the keyframe curves but havent found fcpx version of that. thanks in advance! :-)
@@marcelr.4627 right click on your clip in the timeline and open the animation controls. Right click on your keyframe. You should have the option of smooth(ease) or linear. Not sure if that answers your question...Good luck!
It was a huge learning curve, but glad I did it. The one thing that few mention is the processing power required. Had to completely reinstall my system twice after catastrophic crashes. Solved with an SSD and doing all work on that.
FCPX editor here. I picked it over Premiere because people kept saying it was so much faster and I love that. When I first looked at Premiere, the interface looked extremely intimidating. FCPX's felt easier to learn, but of course I had to watch a bunch of tutorials to learn how to use it and to learn different features. The one thing I wish was different was the keyframe movement speed. When you want to move an object across the screen, for example, it ramps from slow to fast to slow. I haven't found a way (yet?) for that movement to happen at a continuous speed. Otherwise it's been awesome.
so funny.... I literally just switched a week ago too. Best change I’ve ever made. Best thing to use with it is Motion... basically the after effects of FCPX.
FCPX all the way! It is sooo fast! Plus for a speed ramp ... you just select your clip and 'shift+B' to cut the clip. that's a speed ramp cut/blade. Invest the time to learn! You'll love it! And yes I agree. Pixel Film Studios has some amazing Plugins!!
Pixel Film Studios are infamous. I can only advise to stay away from their shoddy software. Motion VFX, FxFactory and RippleTraining have some of the best plugins on the market.
@Cruisn Canada it’s not that they don’t work. It’s that Pixel Film Studios is copying plugins from other small plugin builders like MotionVfx.com and rebranding them to Pixel Film Studios. It’s just an awful way of doing business.
Because this is a good program as well but it can't compete with premiere pro or final cut because it's not as good as than these. DaVinci is best in color grading.
@@tajtibalintI moved from premiere to resolve ... Trust me the enitre workflow is much much much better.... Render times have plummeted and overall it's much smoother. Previously resolve was good for only colour grading but after resolve 16 it's much better.... Unfortunately many don't know about the advantages of resolve... I have a feeling even you have not looked into it
I've been using DaVinci. It's great. I found Final Cut was a little better from a strictly speaking video editing perspective, like with effects and transitions and all that jazz. But DaVinci has much of the same capability, albeit with a little more work. And it's free! So that's fly.
I use final cut pro because i use macs. Biggest Advantage of Premiere: You can buy fast hardware for a lot less money. But if you like the Apple stuff, FCP is optimised super well and as you see it runs much smoother, esp. if you dont have the max specs macbooks.
I’m still Adobe Premiere Pro. 90% of my work is motion graphics and video editing so dynamic linking between Ps, Ai, Ae is seamless and so powerful when speeding up workflow. Also, Adobe statistically updates and adds more features more frequently. Not to mention, more Adobe encoding options and exclusive plugins. The one big thing that sucks is the Adobe monthly subscription if you’re starting out for and using it for unpaid work BUT if you’re using it for business you can obvs claim it under tax.
Good point, but lately PP has been giving me so many issues, rendering took 2 hours for a 7 minute video last time. The same project length took 10 minutes in FCP. grr. But if you need linking between programs you can't go wrong with PP!
Apple Motion literally does the Motion Graphics piece you talked about. My favorite feature to FCPX is ProRes RAW support. I know that will come to Premier Pro, but in the meantime.. FCPX is all I have. Also, be sure to disable the background render and don't optimize media. Otherwise you will be out of storage space in no time. FCPX is more more optimized for Mac hardware because I was able to create 1.5 hour 1080p videos with ProRes RAW 4K footage on a 2013 Macbook Pro. Premier Pro would barely run.
I use Premiere Pro (I also do most of my editing on PC so Final Cut wouldn't be the best for me) and sometimes I'll use Premiere Rush for social media videos, Instagram stories, etc.
FCP X Here😃 Hit Shift-B to do a speed ramp😉 If you’re not using AE, definitely move to FCP. It’s definitely faster to do basic vlogs like you’re doing😊 Good luck with the move across 👍🏼
Interesting what you said “ if you are not using AE” I am still using Premier and one of the reasons I haven’t tried Final Cut Pro X is because I work a lot with AE and Photoshop. I like the interaction those softwares have with each other, but obviously I am interested on trying FCPX. What would you said in my case. I work with AE and Photoshop on a daily basis.
I use Final Cut Pro for professional client work and short films. The reason is just that I first got started with it and now I love it. I have tried premiere (I also have it) but FCPX just works better for me! Advice: use what suits your workflow (I also do use after effects)
Kamara's Universe after choosing your export type, go to the settings tab and change the resolution to what you want. Sometime it doesn’t match what you originally chose.
I use Final Cut Pro X for about 5 years. Bought it directly when I switched to Apple from Ubuntu Linux (yes I hated Windows so much that I used Linux in between xD). FCPX is so much better in every way. Sometimes I use DaVinci for difficult stabilizations but Final Cut can do everything else. I also recommend Color Finale 2 as it makes color grading a lot faster, even is all necessary tools are available in Final Cut.
The only people who say negative things about FCPX are the ones who have not stuck around long enough to see what it really does. It's totally professional level, faster and more intuitive than other editors, and the 3rd party plug ins you can use are unlimited. It allows you to get into a workflow state that let's you mow down that editing time. It's actually a lot fun to use. FCPX 💯
Totally agree! I work professionally in news and we had FCPX but they made us switch to Premiere this year and FCPX was so much faster and more reliable. I feel like any one who gives them both a really fair go will probably favor FCPX in the end.
Or maybe they were around when FC was a great piece of software out of the box and then they changed it making the software unusable for a lot of creatives. Back in the day FC was as popular as Avid.... sure they are allowed and should innovate but not at the cost of features that the software used to always have. It's good that they have built on it now but there was so many features not there 10 years a go which should have been.
Good choice Maati! I made the switch a month ago, haven't looked back since. Having SPEEDY exporting times and intuitive workflow (magnetic timeline!!) just makes everything a LOT easier 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 P.S. "Riveting conversation" hmmmm 🤔 P.P.S. If you include Kai in the thumbnails CTR is 100% going up haha
It's funny to see how different people have different opinions on things: I HATE that stupid magnetic timeline... But nice to hear that it works for you, i think it's just impossible do develop a program that suits the needs of everyone! And you're definitely right about the exporting times, that's just a great thing about FCPX...
How long were you using Premier Pro before making the switch? I'm asking because I finally have a good grasp on Premiere Pro and feeling like I'll be starting over 'again'. thx!
@@RGMGFitness I'd been using Premiere probably close to a year and a half now, but I feel like the learning curve to using FCP is a lot smaller imho :)
with my new company they always claim to be a "final cut pro" company so I trained myself on it (pretty literal timeline to yours in moving to Premiere) and I see now kind of the uses for each. For a Vlog where there's not a ton of layering needed and you just want a quick cut and not to deal with the size of footage weighing down Premiere, Final Cut is good for that. It proxies the footage automatically in the software so it always plays smooth. The problem is when you get into a big edit then the layering becomes problematic to me. You have to detach audio, then leaving clips underneath what you want people to see it doesn't play well and you have to edit the entire timeline to get a cut done. Premiere for big projects is much easier (as long as you're good a file and project management) and now they introduced favoriting clips like in Final Cut to expedite the process. So to me Final Cut is your "social media, vlog" format and Premiere is your long-form dedicated project got to and if using black magic coloring in DaVinci. Just my take though having to use both in the company. (and honestly I still like Premiere infinitely more but having used Final Cut now it makes sense on why people like it but the brainspace to know both as intimately as you'd like is tough because of how different they are.)
Great switch! We have been using FCPX since it came out (it was hard to get used to it from FCP7), but once you get used to it, it’s sooooooo much faster of a workflow. We produce between 5 and 10 commercial ads a week and we are able to get all of them done on time. Plus, the auto save is great. One of our employees used Premiere but once he started using FCPX and never had to worry about it crashing and losing all the work, he never went back!
I started using final cut pro in 2002 and wasn't happy with FCPX. I've recently gone back to FCPX and it can’t shut up about how amazing it is. I also think people are sleeping on Motion. Motion is actually really amazing as well.
I have always loved the simplicity and ease of use of FCPX. I tried using Premiere Pro but it took ages to export output videos and somehow was not intuitive enough for me.
I use Final Cut for multi-cam concert editing, Premiere for UA-cam, and DaVinci is sort of a new discovery, because of its colour capabilities. Being able to use different programs has given me more work opportunities!
I use final cut professionally. i work in a music label and im a creative director here in los angeles. and i use it for all the artist that are signed to the label.
After spending a year tossed between the two programs I finally made the switch to FCPX. Since then I’ve come to the following conclusions: FCPX can perform 95% of the same tasks as PP without a creative workaround. In addition FCPX handles these tasks more intelligently (imo) and offers many features PP does not. FCPX is fast. Editing becomes such a pleasurable experience- you’ll create more. Spend some time learning the tools and default/custom keyboard shortcuts and it will feel like warp speed. FCPX is professional. FCPX is easier to learn during downtime. I tried learning the program by practicing on active projects like you. It’s difficult. With turnarounds being so quick you just want to get the work done and end up switch back to what you’re familiar with. Stick with it, there’s light at the end of the tunnel. Lastly....I may get hate for this one. I am FULLY convinced that Apple Motion can perform all the tasks most *lightweight* users depend on AE for. Frankly AE is just overpowered for the short list of simple tasks casual users need it for. However, Motion tutorials are not in abundance... I had FCPX sitting in my applications for a year. I even made a (now private) video explains why Final Cut didn’t work for me...now it’s the only thing I cut in.
Hey Matti! I Use FCPX to edit my videos. I was an Avid Media Composer Editor, but Final Cut just works faster and fluidly. But anyway at the end it's just a tool. I use plugins from Pixel Film Studio, Lens Distortion, and some from Envato. There is a lot of stuff for Final Cut. Enjoy you switch and keep up the good work! 😀
i started in premiere. have used davinci, and avid but ive stuck with final cut and im never switching. its the best. workflow, the ease to do certain things that just take longer in other program is great. once u get use to it. you’ll understand how better it is functionally
Haha I just switched too. I strategically made my assistant learn Final Cut Pro X as she was learning video editing over quarantine. (We do a ton of real estate videos) Before she learned I showed her how I edit my videos, then made her teach me my work flow in final cut after she learned LOL. Definitely helps having the same shortcuts cuz we do a lot of ripple editing. So much faster than Premiere too. So far I'm loving it!
Seamus Curran Vlogs would you mind explaining to me how i can setup easy ease keyframes? i loved using the keyframe curves but havent found fcpx version of that. thanks in advance! :-)
Yo, the best thing you can learn is to attack all those shortcuts. If you learn all the shortcuts to the top 10 functions you use in fcpx, editing becomes a breeze. For instance it used to take me hours to edit 1 tutorial. Now I group the video audio and all that with basically one shortcut. Then add music. That literally takes me minutes. Then I cut and chop. The flow is effortless with the shortcuts
I’ve tried a half dozen times to switch. I just can’t stick to it. FCPX feels too much like a grown up version of iMovie. Just doesn’t feel “Pro”. If they build in an audio cross cut that can be added with just a keystroke I’d be more inclined.
I'm not sure when it was added, but you can do that with Command+t on two audio clips. And yeah, it looks just like iMovie, but that's just it's default layout. you can change things around enough to make it work for whatever your workflow is.
I use FCPX. I recommend it having used both that and Premiere Pro. Both can get you great results. Ultimately it’s about whatever works for you and your workflow.
I use FCPX because it is intuitive, and an easy step from iMovie. I really enjoy the one time price, and the amount features that allow me to develop my craft. I’m glad to learn more of your discoveries.
I love how well the phone footage at the beginning fits in with the rest of the video! I use Premiere Pro, but every time I watch someone edit in Final Cut, like say Jesse Driftwood, it looks so user-friendly. Like everything seems smoother and straight forward. Especially speed-ramping. But like you, I downloaded it and can tell it's going to take a long time to get familiar enough with the interface to become as efficient with it as I am with Premiere.
Long time Premiere user here who decided to give Davinci a serious look for editing. Save yourself now and start learning Davinci instead of Final Cut. I'm telling you, it's on the verge of taking over as the new king of NLE's. Just switch the keyboard shortcuts to match Premiere's and you'll feel right at home but with a much improved and better performing software. I LOVE it.
Davinci Resolve 16 Free, I like colorgrade manuly every clip, play with sound and all things. It is more about controling everything but than on the other side it is somethimes like "meh, I doesn't care about this now,...". About rendering, I have experience that Davinci is faster than PremierePro. Project exporting in Premiere takes 3 hours, that similar project in Davinci take about 2 hours to render out.
Nice video! I edited a feature film on both and ive completely switched to Final Cut Pro x now. Even for all my commercials and now that I have tons of plug-ins it’s just so much faster and smoother for me
Hey Matti, Wow! You nailed it when you said that PP is assumed to be the 'pro' tool! I've been making videos in a professional capacity for 2 years now using FCPX from day one. I have always felt a bit inferior to many of my film making colleagues to admit this as they all use PP. I have even considered having to learn PP or DaVinci in order to be taken more seriously by my peers. But you (and others) have always said use the right tool that suits you...and I have always been happy with the way FCPX works for me (and my clients have never questioned my editing software choice). So you, even considering it has given me a MASSIVE moral boost. As they say, if it ain't broke why fix it? Many thanks, you've made my day. Stay safe and well. Andy
What's crazy is I use both for various purposes. I use Premiere to edit client work and bigger projects because I love Premieres organization and bin system. But when it comes to my personal videos I have always used FCPX. I like having what you said the presets ease of use. Whether it's motion blur, color grading, adjustment layers, I think its better than Premiere.
HEY THERE i prefer Final-Cut because its lite, it runs well on computer it doesn't freeze, it interacts with you by reducing half of the work you should be doing i think, drag and drop effects, most important the layout is so simple that a babe can understand i think final-cut its more than fine and for those who works with time by not liking to spend a lot of time doing the same thing final-cut is the right one
I started with Premiere in 2009 when I was deployed to Iraq filming for the U.S. Army. When Adobe moved to the Creative Cloud I bought Final Cut 7 because it was a stand-alone app that I could use without an internet connection. Then, right in the middle of editing a documentary, I stupidly chose to update to FCPX...and lost my mind!!! It took me the better part of a week watching tutorials before I was able to adapt to FCPX. Now I have ZERO REGRETS! Once I finally unclenched, relaxed and stopped fighting it, I found it to be far more intuitive for right-brained people like me. To me, FCPX = right-brain Apple, Premiere = left-brained PC.
John French Yes, iMovie and FCPX are very similar when it comes to layout but you’ll be amazed by how much more advanced Final Cut is and how much you can do with it without relying on other applications. Been a long time FCPX user and I’m never looking back.
Clever Girl Productions Yeah I played around with FCPX at the Apple store a few months ago since I don’t have it yet. I really like the layout and how much more advanced it is. Also I’ve heard that any features that FCPX is missing can pretty much be filled in with plugins. Thanks for your response!
As someone who edits hours of footage almost every day, FCPX is my go to for cutting video, adding titles and final export to compressor. We use resolve for image correction and grading, and also for converting braw.
As an FCPX editor I’ve always found that when I’m sat in an editing room with a handful of editors and we’re all working on the same deliverables. My work is done in half the time, with absolutely no difference in quality. If you look at film editing as a simple time = money equation, final cut wins every time
I switched to fcpx after I got my mbp, and I honestly like it more than premiere. Just my opinion, but it took me way less time to learn it and I think it's easier to use. I opened premiere a few weeks ago and I was so lost. 😅 Edit: Also if you haven't figured out speed ramps what I do is Shift+B a certain part of the clip>Repeat on another part>Then click the little drop down above the clip in the middle and change the speed either fast or slow. There's probably other ways, but that's how I do it
ImRobPi haha i feel ya! I started on FCpx years ago and stopped doing films for 5 years. Now I’m on premiere since started filming. I remember feeling awesome editing in FCPX, I’m so tempted!
@@sleepypotato3337 I would disagree for the most part it takes some time getting used to it, but even for basic editors who just cut videos and don't do much color work is not that hard to use
I've been editing with Final Cut for a four years now. Switched from iMovie. I have used Apple computers since 2004, so that's the main reason. Before I bought my current Macbook Pro I used to edit with 2014 Macbook Air and all went smoothly. I was always wondering why my PC/Premiere using friends were talking how they dont have enough ram and all that stuff. I have tried Premiere like in 2016 or something, but decided to purchase Final Cut after the 30 day trial. What ever suits your needs. I think thats the best.
Been an Adobe editor for about 10 years now professionally. I think the opposite has happened to me where I now rely on After Effects more and more. Don't really see myself ever switching, don't hate Apple or FCPX, I just enjoy having everything under one roof and with a team of about 15 editors, the ability to collaborate and hand off projects and files is invaluable.
yeah also the huge file sizes that are somehow with FCPX I used it to for 2 years and just switched to premier because the file sizes on FCPX were to huge for my laptop I miss FCPX lol

Hey matti, I´m currently using Premiere Pro, I learned to edit on final cut and it it definetly more easy and soft to use and learn, but I love the interaction of all the abode programs for content creation, and right now I consider myself a intermediate/advanced user of premiere pro, I really don want to go trough the process or learning a new software from sratch and downgrade my production quality
Been editing FCPX, Premier, FCP Studio & Avid for years. Once you really learn the layout, find all the settings, organization, integrate the offerings for plugins, dabble with the integration with Apple Motion and Compressor, you’ll love FCPX again.
i'm using Resolve.. Loving it! I love the workstations and the whole layout. love the features and just how well it works. For me it is a all in one program. Does not take too long to learn how to get done what you want, learning something new each time i am using it!
You should have switched to fcpx long time back since you’ve been on a Mac environment and not windows. Adobe products’ optimisation is a train wreck on apple environment esp the newer versions. Plus you have almost every feature that premiere has and its a lot clutter free + good UI + great stability. I guess speed and stability is a prime factor for video work. Thanks for spreading the right word matti ☺️
FCPX user here. I dabbled with premier but just couldn’t get into it. I started using FCPX when it came out and have stuck with it from the beginning. It’s so good now. I feel like anyone who has a negative comment about it just hasn’t used it since maybe the beginning like you did. Whatever works for you is best but I think if you give FCPX a real chance you’ll love it!
I have tried all 3, Davinci, premiere and Final ... and I honestly think that Final is much better ... They all do the same, especially after updates from the last years, but the performance and Workflow of Final, for me at least, is second to none ...
It is tons smoother - I love how I don’t even have to hit save - premier took forever for me, fcpx works in the background. Export times are much better! Make the switch!!
Derek High would you mind explaining to me how i can setup easy ease keyframes? i loved using the keyframe curves but havent found fcpx version of that. thanks in advance! :-)
Love your videos! I'm a beginner with video editing but have done it for fun since 2008 and I've always used iMovie and moved to FCPX about 3 years ago and I LOVE IT!
When I first started editing I felt like the little sad kid in the schoolyard watching all the big boys praising Premiere Pro and looking down on FCPX noobs like me. Now I see loads of professionals coming (back) to FCPX and I'm like "thank you for realising how smooth and simple things can buy you time". It's not about what's best, but what's best FOR YOU.
I use final cut. Everything is so much smoother and works better and easier
When he mentioned speed ramps I litterally yelled shift B at the video
Taking up running was one of the best things I've done in my adult life. The other was buying fcpx on release day and not paying a penny since :)
Tell ‘em Jesse. Videos like this make me happy I spent my months learning FCPX and not Premiere, I just want to get stuck into Apple motion now so I can stick it to all the job posts only accepting Adobe with some mad content 😂
Lol - you’ll kick yourself when you find out how easy it is to speed ramp in FCP X.
I was thinking the same thing.
Super agree to that! That’s one of the point i made the switch👍🏻
I agree with this 100%. I'm a big noob with fcpx but speed ramping was something i learned really fast cuz it's so intuitive
yeah I giggled too
Noah Bershatsky I’ve been using FCPX for 5 years and I’m actually considering switching to Resolve. Speed ramping on it is easy as well. Not as easy as fcpx but not hard either and you have way more control
I’ve switched from premiere to final cut for about 3 years now! Just have a tiny bit of patience learning it :)
FCPX gang in here? 🤟🏽😈
yep
Yessir
I switched to davinci resolve. I’m actually loving it more then adobe.
NCJ_Digital Davinci Resolve kind of heavy for my PC, i was trying Vegas Pro now
Yess.... It just makes me sad that there aren’t enough tutorials for this glorious software
It's fantastic
@@lasapph8293 they are lol trust me bro
Davinci is amazing and it uses the best of FCPX and Premiere.
Finally someone who doesn't bash FCPX and actually respects it, so man people make fun of it but it actually is so good! Make the switch Matti!
I am one of those people who was still making fun of FCPX just 5 months ago. I made the switch a couple of months ago and I have nothing but praise for FCPX. I started editing on Final Cut Pro 3 in 2002. I was upset at Apple for changing it, but now that I understand why they did it, it was the best move. It’s amazing being back using Final Cut Pro again. The reason I believe it's so good is it can start out as a simple software, but the more you delve deeper into it you unlock all these amazing tools. Anyone who stops at the basics never gets to see that.
Thomas Boyle for real too many people bash it. I’ve seen countless jobs that say they only take people who use premiere and it’s annoying bc you can basically do all the and things if you know how!
Mkbhd has used it for a long time
FCPX for the last year has been amazing.
FCPX is fantastic so many professional movie editors use it too! I just wish as a community we all just respected each other’s opinions. End of the day use what is best for you
Once you get your head around the magnetic timeline you'll realise it runs circles around Premiere Pro.
Regarding motion graphics either use plugins or better yet spend $35 and get Apple Motion.
Thomas Hofmann isn’t it $50?
@@chrismixlewis sorry ... got the currency conversion wrong.
If you're a student you can get it all bundled for $199 US. Motion, Compressor, FCPX, Logic Pro, and Mainstage.
Or just spend zero dollars and get DaVinci Resolve. Runs circles around everything else! 😉
Just kidding. Use what you’re comfortable with!🙂
TheAdkFlyer10 go home, you are sooo drunk
Premier is the buggiest most expensive software in the world
Avid is also pretty expsnsive.
TheGreenMind I love DaVinci for ColorGrading but idk how to feel about editing with it. I personally love the intergration with After Effects and I thought about switching to Final Cut Pro X since the price of Premiere is so high. My problem is that I use AfterEffects, Photoshop and Lightroom but there’s no bundle where I can just get those programs. If I would get the Photo package I pay around 20$ plus 30$ extra for AE, which results in 50$ for which I can get the whole suit. I’m gonna stick to Premiere Pro for now but will use Final Cut for YT and DaVinci Studio for ColorGrading. It’s just easier for me that way :P
Premiere pro almost me quit trying to learn editing, thought I needed a new computer, slowed me down, and costs way too much!! And for those reasons.. I had to be out. FCPX is a dream come true!
Motion 5 integrates with FCPX very well. Can create motion graphics in Motion and edit nearly every aspect of it in FC if you publish the parts you want to change. Very powerful combination.

Dunno why but Pixelfilm plugins jammed my iMac Pro and FCPX totally. After a couple of reinstalls I gave up and removed them for good. Since then my FCPX is running nice and smooth. The installer is also a bit suspicious - was it some malware or what? The plugins are nice though.
Check out the plugins from MotionVFX - they are waaay less buggy!
Sebastian Münch that’s my experience also.
I have always used FCPX and every time I tried to open Premiere I quit it right away. Found it cumbersome and the everything tiny and the interface complicated and isTotally different than FCPX which seems to be more "user friendly". Premiere would crash all the time, rendering was a pain and monthly fees is stupid.. I am actually studying editing straight in Davinci Resolve at the moment which seems like the best move. I have a Blackmagic Pocket 6K. But I have so many transitions and plug ins in FCPX I always seem to finish things off in FCPX. Your kid is adorable by the way!! Hope you guys are safe!
Yea DaVinci is so good for grading
ekphotography but you do have to admit that adobes ecosystem is fire 🔥
@@mattih and getting better for editing as well.. Many Many editors are now editing direct in Davinci... Thanks for the video!
@@bradoncoy6473 Sorry, but I actually hate the adobe system of online monthly subscriptions. Most people I know are dumping adobe right and left. I use Capture One for Photos and FCPX and Davinci for video.. No need for anything adobe except photoshop which I still us CC2019 OFFLINE version.
@@ekphotography Davinci Resolve all the way. I don't use anything else anymore. Even the audio utility is good enough to keep me from switching to Audition...well most of the time anyway :D
I'm a FCP user for 2 reasons:
1. One payment
2. It's made by Apple and I use Apple hardware so I figure they know how to optimize perfectly for it.
Scrivs my thoughts exactly. Not about that monthly payment and it works amazing in my workflow. No lag in 4K. Nothing but happy with it
I made the switch for these reasons too and I haven’t regretted it! I also dabble with Lumafusion on my iPad Pro, and now that you can render out an FCP XML, the workflow is even smoother for that use case.
no. 2 especially important on older hardware
Scrivs would you mind explaining to me how i can setup easy ease keyframes? i loved using the keyframe curves but havent found fcpx version of that. thanks in advance! :-)
@@marcelr.4627 right click on your clip in the timeline and open the animation controls. Right click on your keyframe. You should have the option of smooth(ease) or linear. Not sure if that answers your question...Good luck!
It was a huge learning curve, but glad I did it. The one thing that few mention is the processing power required. Had to completely reinstall my system twice after catastrophic crashes. Solved with an SSD and doing all work on that.
FCPX editor here. I picked it over Premiere because people kept saying it was so much faster and I love that. When I first looked at Premiere, the interface looked extremely intimidating. FCPX's felt easier to learn, but of course I had to watch a bunch of tutorials to learn how to use it and to learn different features. The one thing I wish was different was the keyframe movement speed. When you want to move an object across the screen, for example, it ramps from slow to fast to slow. I haven't found a way (yet?) for that movement to happen at a continuous speed. Otherwise it's been awesome.
so funny.... I literally just switched a week ago too. Best change I’ve ever made. Best thing to use with it is Motion... basically the after effects of FCPX.
FCPX all the way! It is sooo fast! Plus for a speed ramp ... you just select your clip and 'shift+B' to cut the clip. that's a speed ramp cut/blade. Invest the time to learn! You'll love it! And yes I agree. Pixel Film Studios has some amazing Plugins!!
Pixel Film Studios are infamous. I can only advise to stay away from their shoddy software. Motion VFX, FxFactory and RippleTraining have some of the best plugins on the market.
Kilian Muster you are so right.
@@media2c I use a bunch of Pixel Films Plugins. All of them work well. No complaints.
@Cruisn Canada it’s not that they don’t work. It’s that Pixel Film Studios is copying plugins from other small plugin builders like MotionVfx.com and rebranding them to Pixel Film Studios. It’s just an awful way of doing business.
@@media2c i agree
I can see Daniel Schiffer watching this like (Sith voice) “yes, yessss.... join us!”
hahahahahahaha
@@dylanrreynolds :D Yes I agree!
and Casey neistat too,
I use FCX and i loved 🤩 Motion Graphic is perfect too.
Good luck Matti on this switch for 🇧🇷
FCPX - Overall smoother and faster.
“See you later in the thumbnails!” 😂
Kai with the quote of vlog every time.
Why is no one talking about DaVinci Resolve????
Because this is a good program as well but it can't compete with premiere pro or final cut because it's not as good as than these. DaVinci is best in color grading.
@@tajtibalintI moved from premiere to resolve ... Trust me the enitre workflow is much much much better.... Render times have plummeted and overall it's much smoother. Previously resolve was good for only colour grading but after resolve 16 it's much better.... Unfortunately many don't know about the advantages of resolve... I have a feeling even you have not looked into it
Exactly this. Evolving faster then both premiere and final cut
@@tajtibalint lol did you ever used it?
I've been using DaVinci. It's great. I found Final Cut was a little better from a strictly speaking video editing perspective, like with effects and transitions and all that jazz. But DaVinci has much of the same capability, albeit with a little more work. And it's free! So that's fly.
I use final cut pro because i use macs. Biggest Advantage of Premiere: You can buy fast hardware for a lot less money. But if you like the Apple stuff, FCP is optimised super well and as you see it runs much smoother, esp. if you dont have the max specs macbooks.
well said
I’m still Adobe Premiere Pro. 90% of my work is motion graphics and video editing so dynamic linking between Ps, Ai, Ae is seamless and so powerful when speeding up workflow. Also, Adobe statistically updates and adds more features more frequently. Not to mention, more Adobe encoding options and exclusive plugins. The one big thing that sucks is the Adobe monthly subscription if you’re starting out for and using it for unpaid work BUT if you’re using it for business you can obvs claim it under tax.
Good point, but lately PP has been giving me so many issues, rendering took 2 hours for a 7 minute video last time. The same project length took 10 minutes in FCP. grr. But if you need linking between programs you can't go wrong with PP!
Apple Motion literally does the Motion Graphics piece you talked about. My favorite feature to FCPX is ProRes RAW support. I know that will come to Premier Pro, but in the meantime.. FCPX is all I have. Also, be sure to disable the background render and don't optimize media. Otherwise you will be out of storage space in no time. FCPX is more more optimized for Mac hardware because I was able to create 1.5 hour 1080p videos with ProRes RAW 4K footage on a 2013 Macbook Pro. Premier Pro would barely run.
I use Premiere Pro (I also do most of my editing on PC so Final Cut wouldn't be the best for me) and sometimes I'll use Premiere Rush for social media videos, Instagram stories, etc.
FCP X Here😃 Hit Shift-B to do a speed ramp😉 If you’re not using AE, definitely move to FCP. It’s definitely faster to do basic vlogs like you’re doing😊 Good luck with the move across 👍🏼
Interesting what you said “ if you are not using AE” I am still using Premier and one of the reasons I haven’t tried Final Cut Pro X is because I work a lot with AE and Photoshop. I like the interaction those softwares have with each other, but obviously I am interested on trying FCPX. What would you said in my case. I work with AE and Photoshop on a daily basis.
I use Final Cut Pro for professional client work and short films. The reason is just that I first got started with it and now I love it. I have tried premiere (I also have it) but FCPX just works better for me! Advice: use what suits your workflow (I also do use after effects)
How is the video when you export it.. I feel like I lose some quality
Kamara's Universe after choosing your export type, go to the settings tab and change the resolution to what you want. Sometime it doesn’t match what you originally chose.
I use Final Cut Pro X for about 5 years. Bought it directly when I switched to Apple from Ubuntu Linux (yes I hated Windows so much that I used Linux in between xD).
FCPX is so much better in every way. Sometimes I use DaVinci for difficult stabilizations but Final Cut can do everything else. I also recommend Color Finale 2 as it makes color grading a lot faster, even is all necessary tools are available in Final Cut.
-Should I switch to Final Cut Pro?
-100% man, final cut is the best.
- See you later man 😂😂😂
Hey Matti, just wanted to say that I love your daily vlogs, and I hope you and your family are doing well amidst this crisis! :)
The only people who say negative things about FCPX are the ones who have not stuck around long enough to see what it really does. It's totally professional level, faster and more intuitive than other editors, and the 3rd party plug ins you can use are unlimited. It allows you to get into a workflow state that let's you mow down that editing time. It's actually a lot fun to use. FCPX 💯
Totally agree! I work professionally in news and we had FCPX but they made us switch to Premiere this year and FCPX was so much faster and more reliable. I feel like any one who gives them both a really fair go will probably favor FCPX in the end.
Or maybe they were around when FC was a great piece of software out of the box and then they changed it making the software unusable for a lot of creatives. Back in the day FC was as popular as Avid.... sure they are allowed and should innovate but not at the cost of features that the software used to always have. It's good that they have built on it now but there was so many features not there 10 years a go which should have been.
Good choice Maati! I made the switch a month ago, haven't looked back since.
Having SPEEDY exporting times and intuitive workflow (magnetic timeline!!) just makes everything a LOT easier 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
P.S. "Riveting conversation" hmmmm 🤔
P.P.S. If you include Kai in the thumbnails CTR is 100% going up haha
It's funny to see how different people have different opinions on things: I HATE that stupid magnetic timeline... But nice to hear that it works for you, i think it's just impossible do develop a program that suits the needs of everyone! And you're definitely right about the exporting times, that's just a great thing about FCPX...
How long were you using Premier Pro before making the switch? I'm asking because I finally have a good grasp on Premiere Pro and feeling like I'll be starting over 'again'. thx!
@@RGMGFitness I'd been using Premiere probably close to a year and a half now, but I feel like the learning curve to using FCP is a lot smaller imho :)
with my new company they always claim to be a "final cut pro" company so I trained myself on it (pretty literal timeline to yours in moving to Premiere) and I see now kind of the uses for each. For a Vlog where there's not a ton of layering needed and you just want a quick cut and not to deal with the size of footage weighing down Premiere, Final Cut is good for that. It proxies the footage automatically in the software so it always plays smooth. The problem is when you get into a big edit then the layering becomes problematic to me. You have to detach audio, then leaving clips underneath what you want people to see it doesn't play well and you have to edit the entire timeline to get a cut done. Premiere for big projects is much easier (as long as you're good a file and project management) and now they introduced favoriting clips like in Final Cut to expedite the process.
So to me Final Cut is your "social media, vlog" format and Premiere is your long-form dedicated project got to and if using black magic coloring in DaVinci. Just my take though having to use both in the company. (and honestly I still like Premiere infinitely more but having used Final Cut now it makes sense on why people like it but the brainspace to know both as intimately as you'd like is tough because of how different they are.)
Great switch! We have been using FCPX since it came out (it was hard to get used to it from FCP7), but once you get used to it, it’s sooooooo much faster of a workflow. We produce between 5 and 10 commercial ads a week and we are able to get all of them done on time. Plus, the auto save is great. One of our employees used Premiere but once he started using FCPX and never had to worry about it crashing and losing all the work, he never went back!
Had to tap my notifications asap right when I saw this...so happy FCPX isn’t being thrown under the roof completely. Coming from a proud FCPX user :)
Oh not at all. Tons of people do amazing things with it
Matti Haapoja ahh I see!! From my community of filmmaker friends, I’m the only one who uses FCPX while the rest use premiere!! LOL
I started using final cut pro in 2002 and wasn't happy with FCPX. I've recently gone back to FCPX and it can’t shut up about how amazing it is. I also think people are sleeping on Motion. Motion is actually really amazing as well.
Hey Matti,
I’m a hard core Final cut fan and I just wanna say that it’s a great place to edit and i think you’ll do great!!!
I have always loved the simplicity and ease of use of FCPX. I tried using Premiere Pro but it took ages to export output videos and somehow was not intuitive enough for me.
Kunwar Abhinav Aditya same, I could never wrap my head about premiere whereas FCPX I found much more intuitive
I use Final Cut for multi-cam concert editing, Premiere for UA-cam, and DaVinci is sort of a new discovery, because of its colour capabilities. Being able to use different programs has given me more work opportunities!
I use final cut professionally. i work in a music label and im a creative director here in los angeles. and i use it for all the artist that are signed to the label.
Never clicked faster! Definitely a good idea! I love FCPX😍🔥🤟🏼
Great vlog man! I love that you include Kai. He’s absolutely adorable and always adds a playful feel to the vlog. Final Cut Pro X user here! 💯
After spending a year tossed between the two programs I finally made the switch to FCPX. Since then I’ve come to the following conclusions:
FCPX can perform 95% of the same tasks as PP without a creative workaround. In addition FCPX handles these tasks more intelligently (imo) and offers many features PP does not.
FCPX is fast. Editing becomes such a pleasurable experience- you’ll create more. Spend some time learning the tools and default/custom keyboard shortcuts and it will feel like warp speed.
FCPX is professional.
FCPX is easier to learn during downtime. I tried learning the program by practicing on active projects like you. It’s difficult. With turnarounds being so quick you just want to get the work done and end up switch back to what you’re familiar with. Stick with it, there’s light at the end of the tunnel.
Lastly....I may get hate for this one.
I am FULLY convinced that Apple Motion can perform all the tasks most *lightweight* users depend on AE for. Frankly AE is just overpowered for the short list of simple tasks casual users need it for. However, Motion tutorials are not in abundance...
I had FCPX sitting in my applications for a year. I even made a (now private) video explains why Final Cut didn’t work for me...now it’s the only thing I cut in.
Apple Motion is amazing. Learning curve isn't even that steep either
Hey Matti! I Use FCPX to edit my videos. I was an Avid Media Composer Editor, but Final Cut just works faster and fluidly.
But anyway at the end it's just a tool.
I use plugins from Pixel Film Studio, Lens Distortion, and some from Envato.
There is a lot of stuff for Final Cut.
Enjoy you switch and keep up the good work! 😀
I’m a FCPX user. I feel like so much is very intuitive and when it crashes YOU DON’T LOSE YOUR WORK!! Hello!
well said ✨
i switched from final cut to premier but i might return as it has improved a lot!
RE: questions at 7:54 - using FCPX all the way here. MotionVFX makes some of the best plugins in the FCPX ecosystem.
Talon Six Productions I second MotionVFX lol
Pixelfilm is the cheaper version, tho lesser quality
Try Apple Motion 5 for a replacement for After Effects.
i started in premiere. have used davinci, and avid but ive stuck with final cut and im never switching. its the best. workflow, the ease to do certain things that just take longer in other program is great. once u get use to it. you’ll understand how better it is functionally
Haha I just switched too. I strategically made my assistant learn Final Cut Pro X as she was learning video editing over quarantine. (We do a ton of real estate videos) Before she learned I showed her how I edit my videos, then made her teach me my work flow in final cut after she learned LOL.
Definitely helps having the same shortcuts cuz we do a lot of ripple editing. So much faster than Premiere too. So far I'm loving it!
Speed ramps in FCPX is probably the main reason I like it.
I’ve been using Adobe for about four years and I’m moving over to FCP I’m slowly getting into it
Seamus Curran Vlogs would you mind explaining to me how i can setup easy ease keyframes? i loved using the keyframe curves but havent found fcpx version of that. thanks in advance! :-)
"See you later on the thumbnails" - He knows what he is doing!
Filip Andersen too cute
Final Cut Pro for sure! I used Logic Pro for years so it was easy to pick things up for me. Speed Ramping is super easy to do and to fine tune.
Yo, the best thing you can learn is to attack all those shortcuts. If you learn all the shortcuts to the top 10 functions you use in fcpx, editing becomes a breeze. For instance it used to take me hours to edit 1 tutorial. Now I group the video audio and all that with basically one shortcut. Then add music. That literally takes me minutes. Then I cut and chop. The flow is effortless with the shortcuts
I’ve tried a half dozen times to switch. I just can’t stick to it. FCPX feels too much like a grown up version of iMovie. Just doesn’t feel “Pro”. If they build in an audio cross cut that can be added with just a keystroke I’d be more inclined.
I'm not sure when it was added, but you can do that with Command+t on two audio clips. And yeah, it looks just like iMovie, but that's just it's default layout. you can change things around enough to make it work for whatever your workflow is.
“See you later on the thumbnails” was the best. Now I feel bad he wasn’t in the thumbnail somewhere
"Im terrible at explaining...." then he try to explaine it all again. Haha, so funny and I work the same way so i really can relate to that
I use FCPX. I recommend it having used both that and Premiere Pro. Both can get you great results. Ultimately it’s about whatever works for you and your workflow.
I use FCPX because it is intuitive, and an easy step from iMovie. I really enjoy the one time price, and the amount features that allow me to develop my craft.
I’m glad to learn more of your discoveries.
I love how well the phone footage at the beginning fits in with the rest of the video!
I use Premiere Pro, but every time I watch someone edit in Final Cut, like say Jesse Driftwood, it looks so user-friendly. Like everything seems smoother and straight forward. Especially speed-ramping. But like you, I downloaded it and can tell it's going to take a long time to get familiar enough with the interface to become as efficient with it as I am with Premiere.
Danny Derrick i feel exactly the same!!!! I’m like, why am i struggling and clicking so much? Hahaha
I’m a fast editor but I still fill the pain lol
Long time Premiere user here who decided to give Davinci a serious look for editing. Save yourself now and start learning Davinci instead of Final Cut. I'm telling you, it's on the verge of taking over as the new king of NLE's. Just switch the keyboard shortcuts to match Premiere's and you'll feel right at home but with a much improved and better performing software. I LOVE it.
Davinci Resolve 16 Free, I like colorgrade manuly every clip, play with sound and all things. It is more about controling everything but than on the other side it is somethimes like "meh, I doesn't care about this now,...". About rendering, I have experience that Davinci is faster than PremierePro. Project exporting in Premiere takes 3 hours, that similar project in Davinci take about 2 hours to render out.
I switched over a month ago after using PP for 2 years - it’s so easy and saves money, definitely a good move for what I do! 🙌
Nice video! I edited a feature film on both and ive completely switched to Final Cut Pro x now. Even for all my commercials and now that I have tons of plug-ins it’s just so much faster and smoother for me
Hey Matti, Wow! You nailed it when you said that PP is assumed to be the 'pro' tool! I've been making videos in a professional capacity for 2 years now using FCPX from day one. I have always felt a bit inferior to many of my film making colleagues to admit this as they all use PP. I have even considered having to learn PP or DaVinci in order to be taken more seriously by my peers. But you (and others) have always said use the right tool that suits you...and I have always been happy with the way FCPX works for me (and my clients have never questioned my editing software choice). So you, even considering it has given me a MASSIVE moral boost. As they say, if it ain't broke why fix it? Many thanks, you've made my day. Stay safe and well. Andy
Andreas Hem is going to love you for this
Switch to FCPX, Time is Money. Invest in Yourself.
I love how Kai is just playing around w a 300$ mic
What's crazy is I use both for various purposes. I use Premiere to edit client work and bigger projects because I love Premieres organization and bin system. But when it comes to my personal videos I have always used FCPX. I like having what you said the presets ease of use. Whether it's motion blur, color grading, adjustment layers, I think its better than Premiere.
HEY THERE i prefer Final-Cut because its lite, it runs well on computer it doesn't freeze, it interacts with you by reducing half of the work you should be doing i think, drag and drop effects, most important the layout is so simple that a babe can understand i think final-cut its more than fine and for those who works with time by not liking to spend a lot of time doing the same thing final-cut is the right one
video starts and 1st person to come in my mind was daniel comenting here like "welcome to the gang bro"
I thought for sure Daniel or Jesse Driftwood.
Haha first thing that came to my mind! Daniel dropping the mic!
I started with Premiere in 2009 when I was deployed to Iraq filming for the U.S. Army. When Adobe moved to the Creative Cloud I bought Final Cut 7 because it was a stand-alone app that I could use without an internet connection.
Then, right in the middle of editing a documentary, I stupidly chose to update to FCPX...and lost my mind!!!
It took me the better part of a week watching tutorials before I was able to adapt to FCPX.
Now I have ZERO REGRETS!
Once I finally unclenched, relaxed and stopped fighting it, I found it to be far more intuitive for right-brained people like me.
To me, FCPX = right-brain Apple, Premiere = left-brained PC.
Wow, a week to make the brain change? That's no good. I am checking out Logic Pro X and finding it super intuitive.
Mission Creek Style - Some brains are quicker than others. I joined the Army, so maybe I’m not as smart as you are.
Good luck!
Since I’ve literally mastered iMovie inside out, I feel like FCPX will definitely be the best transition for me to pro software.
John French Yes, iMovie and FCPX are very similar when it comes to layout but you’ll be amazed by how much more advanced Final Cut is and how much you can do with it without relying on other applications. Been a long time FCPX user and I’m never looking back.
Clever Girl Productions Yeah I played around with FCPX at the Apple store a few months ago since I don’t have it yet. I really like the layout and how much more advanced it is. Also I’ve heard that any features that FCPX is missing can pretty much be filled in with plugins. Thanks for your response!
John French awesome bro! Good editing!
thats what I did too Clever Girl! Theres a lot of helpful FCPx tutorials on YT too. gluck 🙂
As someone who edits hours of footage almost every day, FCPX is my go to for cutting video, adding titles and final export to compressor. We use resolve for image correction and grading, and also for converting braw.
As an FCPX editor I’ve always found that when I’m sat in an editing room with a handful of editors and we’re all working on the same deliverables. My work is done in half the time, with absolutely no difference in quality. If you look at film editing as a simple time = money equation, final cut wins every time
Final cut has the magnetic timeline and is much more optimized for Mac. I wouldn’t be surprised if it renders 1/3 faster on your Mac Pro
FCPX renders about 2-10 times faster than Premiere. No kidding.
I switched to fcpx after I got my mbp, and I honestly like it more than premiere. Just my opinion, but it took me way less time to learn it and I think it's easier to use. I opened premiere a few weeks ago and I was so lost. 😅
Edit: Also if you haven't figured out speed ramps what I do is Shift+B a certain part of the clip>Repeat on another part>Then click the little drop down above the clip in the middle and change the speed either fast or slow. There's probably other ways, but that's how I do it
ImRobPi haha i feel ya! I started on FCpx years ago and stopped doing films for 5 years. Now I’m on premiere since started filming.
I remember feeling awesome editing in FCPX, I’m so tempted!
Davinci Resolve for sure! Everything's all in one place.
was DaVinci hard to learn? I have used iMovie and am comfortable with that but I want a better program. Are you using the free version of DaVinci?
But, DaVinci Resolve is a bit too complicated for some people mate.
@@sleepypotato3337 I would disagree for the most part it takes some time getting used to it, but even for basic editors who just cut videos and don't do much color work is not that hard to use
I use resolve, but will switch to final cut once I can afford a mac. I dislike that masking requires fusion and other issues.
I've been editing with Final Cut for a four years now. Switched from iMovie. I have used Apple computers since 2004, so that's the main reason. Before I bought my current Macbook Pro I used to edit with 2014 Macbook Air and all went smoothly. I was always wondering why my PC/Premiere using friends were talking how they dont have enough ram and all that stuff. I have tried Premiere like in 2016 or something, but decided to purchase Final Cut after the 30 day trial. What ever suits your needs. I think thats the best.
Been an Adobe editor for about 10 years now professionally. I think the opposite has happened to me where I now rely on After Effects more and more. Don't really see myself ever switching, don't hate Apple or FCPX, I just enjoy having everything under one roof and with a team of about 15 editors, the ability to collaborate and hand off projects and files is invaluable.
Ask Jesse Driftwood for help, his edits in final cut are insane, same with Daniel Schiffer.
Was waiting for this comment. haha
I don‘t have the money to use final cut or premiere. That‘s why i‘m using davinci resolve!
Same here! I was in deep love with Premerie, but it was too expensive, so I jumped on Resolve, and I really like it!
I actually bought Final Cut, used it for a bit, ended up switching to Davinci Resolve because I genuinely like it better.
The only problem with FCPX is that it is only for a Mac.
no problem, :P
yeah also the huge file sizes that are somehow with FCPX I used it to for 2 years and just switched to premier because the file sizes on FCPX were to huge for my laptop I miss FCPX lol
Hey matti, I´m currently using Premiere Pro, I learned to edit on final cut and it it definetly more easy and soft to use and learn, but I love the interaction of all the abode programs for content creation, and right now I consider myself a intermediate/advanced user of premiere pro, I really don want to go trough the process or learning a new software from sratch and downgrade my production quality
Been editing FCPX, Premier, FCP Studio & Avid for years. Once you really learn the layout, find all the settings, organization, integrate the offerings for plugins, dabble with the integration with Apple Motion and Compressor, you’ll love FCPX again.
i'm using Resolve.. Loving it!
I love the workstations and the whole layout. love the features and just how well it works. For me it is a all in one program. Does not take too long to learn how to get done what you want, learning something new each time i am using it!
The end scene was amazing - made my day!
Who else likes the fact that Kai is playing with a $300 dollar microphone😂
You should have switched to fcpx long time back since you’ve been on a Mac environment and not windows. Adobe products’ optimisation is a train wreck on apple environment esp the newer versions. Plus you have almost every feature that premiere has and its a lot clutter free + good UI + great stability. I guess speed and stability is a prime factor for video work. Thanks for spreading the right word matti ☺️
FCPX user here. I dabbled with premier but just couldn’t get into it. I started using FCPX when it came out and have stuck with it from the beginning. It’s so good now. I feel like anyone who has a negative comment about it just hasn’t used it since maybe the beginning like you did. Whatever works for you is best but I think if you give FCPX a real chance you’ll love it!
0:56 missed opportunity for "Treepod"
Finally this smart decision comes to your mind, hallelujah! But it`s also that same time in which people massively switching to Davinci. Lol
"never won anything ever"
Drone wars 😉
I’ve been using FCPX for years and love it for what I do. I love the workflow and exporting. You should keep using it!
I have tried all 3, Davinci, premiere and Final ... and I honestly think that Final is much better ... They all do the same, especially after updates from the last years, but the performance and Workflow of Final, for me at least, is second to none ...
iMovie because it's free, i'm a beginner and I understand how to use it.
It is tons smoother - I love how I don’t even have to hit save - premier took forever for me, fcpx works in the background. Export times are much better! Make the switch!!
Derek High would you mind explaining to me how i can setup easy ease keyframes? i loved using the keyframe curves but havent found fcpx version of that. thanks in advance! :-)
Gradually change to FCPX Matt: everything takes time. Besides time is of the essence as well....😊👌
Love your videos! I'm a beginner with video editing but have done it for fun since 2008 and I've always used iMovie and moved to FCPX about 3 years ago and I LOVE IT!
When I first started editing I felt like the little sad kid in the schoolyard watching all the big boys praising Premiere Pro and looking down on FCPX noobs like me. Now I see loads of professionals coming (back) to FCPX and I'm like "thank you for realising how smooth and simple things can buy you time". It's not about what's best, but what's best FOR YOU.
