Good, When it Works!

The app has a lot of potential but it crashes almost everytime I open it and go back into a project. Using an M5 13” 1TB IPad Pro.

Misleading

Thought it was free because in app purchases was not under the button “get” so I had no idea but my fault, my fault. Thanks though

Big Changes Big Smiles

I have been using FCP since 2001 and have always loved editing with it. The latest updates have taken things to the next level and I am totally onboard with it all.

Great but with Limitations

This is a great program, I have no issue with the subscription. Functions and features are great. But the issues are, the larger the project gets, the app starts to crash. When it crashes a few times the project will not export. It is possible to get the project out but it has to be done in segments. This is very time consuming, can be stressful and compromises the quality of the final product. The work around is to make the project in segments to start with. The app didn’t use to do this, please fix

Glitchy

I like a lot of the features on Final Cut Pro and the features allow for very good videos, however the software is glitchy and is currently not allowing me to export video. There is no help from the technical guide that solves the issue and the software stopped exporting, with no hint of what is going wrong. Come on Apple, you are better than this.

Missing basic features LUT STABILISATION

If they would add multi-LUTs and stabilisation, it would be the perfect app… Such a missed opportunity. Log auto-conversion doesn’t support everything, ie DLOG 2 so it’s basically unusable.

⚠️ Not for professional work

Great app but buggy as hell and super limited. Use Lumafusion for professional work. Use this app for final touch ups like cuts and adding effects, transitions and copyright-free music.

This app could easily be the best app if it were stable and not so laggy specially with long projects, even on an iPad Pro. iMovie isn’t this laggy, and it hasn’t been updated in over a year!
It still has no LUT support or advanced color grading, no way to create and save custom presets/edits, no speed ramping, it's unable to reattach detached audio, no audio transitions.

Yeah, Lumafusion looks trashy and disorganized compared to this but it's definitely more advanced in features and tools.

Video clip doesn’t display in timeline

I’m sure it’s only recent, but a video clip no longer displays in the timeline, just an image at the start. It’s impossible to edit it anymore. The Mac is fine but this iPad version doesn’t work. It displays the audio but not the video.

Hate app 😡

I hate this app because when I click “New Project”, It will make me pay for a stupid subscription. FIX THIS RIGHT NOW!

NEED MORE PLUGINS FOR SHORT CONTENT PRODUCTIONS

PLEASE, WE NEED MORE IN AND OUT ANIMATIONS

Best Video Editing Tool

Hands down the best tool. I am an inexperienced video creator but despite being such a sophisticated tool it felt so intuitive and simple to use. The Intelligence feature are hands down the best. Keep up the excellent work Apple!

2435$ to much money 💰

The best editing program

I don’t use anything else to edit my videos

Not worth the money

I’ve used different edit platforms and honestly this was close to being the worst. Glitched out on me several times and deleted my edits. Had to start over 3 times. Thought it was my fault the two times but by the third I can say it wasn’t me.

Love it

For the first time, I use Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro and love the work flow and how intuitive the controllers are. Thank you apple.

프리미어프로에서 넘어왔어요

맥북사용하고있어서 호환성이 더좋아서 넘어왔습니다 만족합니다

Integração com MotionVFX

Com a aquisição da MotionVFX pela Apple, a expectativa mínima do mercado é ver essas ferramentas integradas ao Creator Studio, sem custos adicionais no plano atual.

Just Keeps Getting Better

This software is a must have for any film or digital content creator.

A genuine opinion on the app and its price.

I’ll be honest, I genuinely really like this app! The amount of freedom and opportunity for creativity is insane. I used to use other free editing apps for yearsss and they never gave me all the options Final Cut Pro offers. I switched over recently and I fell inlove, I love color grading and the sound effects and everything. and im not just saying that for the review.. now even though it has a ton of pros- the cons are there aswell. At first It can be a bit complicated- especially if you haven’t used iMovie or similar editing apps.. which makes it feel very overwhelming- but once you look up a tutorial, play around with it for a while and experiment, you will PROBABLY get used it. Im not really surprised that its so hard to control and figure out at the beginning since its such a step up from beginner apps and has so many features.. because their are so many features- a lot of the stuff is hidden away.. this can cause for the editing process to become very difficult and lengthy if you dont know the keybinds- which is why I recommend learning them immediately.. Now the only downside I truly hate about this app is the money. I understand completely why it’s money, especially since it’s such a step up for content creation and editing especially if you are a creator who used to use free editing software programs. and I think its great if your a creator whose dabbled in editing apps and your trying to step up your videos and improve not only your video but your editing skills.. but if your a beginner- I would recommend iMovie or other apps if your a windows or maybe a mobile. I would say only buy this app if you want a step up and you HAVE been doing content creation or have a background for editing apps due to the cons of it being complicated at first and how its money.

12.3 CONSTANTLY CRASHES

ALL THE TIME. Constantly having to quit and restart, really breaks workflow. Playhead will be moving, no audio, no video, no ability to continue working until quitting and restarting. May as well just pirate a version as the PAID one is so buggy!
