The first professional video editing software that I used is Final Cut Pro. Its functionalities are so simple and easy to use for video editors. And it is so faster while using and on exporting when compared with other video editing softwares in the market. They stores all the media files within the project file while importing. So that it looks faster. But, this thing requires more storage space. So that, now I switched to another video editing software.
Pros
It looks so simple for me to edit, colour corrections, adding sound effects and music. And its export functionality is much faster than other video editing softwares.
Cons
The only thing I did not like much in Final Cut Pro is, its project file occupies more space in your storage. If a cloud base storage was integrated with this software, It becomes the best one for me.

Final Cut Pro was the reason I purchased my first Mac. It was much more expensive back then but came with a complete suite of tools for color grading and exporting. While the price dropping is much appreciated, I wish they kept color and further developed it. Overall, I am still happy with Final Cut as I feel it is easier to use than Premiere Pro and Avid has always been too expensive.
Pros
- Pricing, it used to be 3 times more when it was offered as part of a suite, since Apple switched to pro-sumer, they made Final Cut very affordable.
- Simple to use for beginners.
- A wide variety of plugins available
Cons
- Not available on Windows, I do not understand why they keep some softwares Mac only.
- Lack of integration with other softwares. I use After Effect and Cinema 4D a lot and the integration with Motion is not really interesting to most Video Editors in my circle.

I needed something that could easily play well with all the Adobe products, and this was not it. Also I just hated the over simplistic workflow and lack of third party plug ins and effects.
Pros
It’s quick to add clips to a timeline and add transitions.
Cons
The organization of your raw files behind the scenes is a mess. Hard to find all the footage and assets. The workflow is very much like iMovie, which doesn’t seem very professional. And there is no integration with After Effects.

Its been wonderful. I enjoy getting an idea and figuring it out on final cut pro. If you think it, you can do it. Most likely with some help from those on youtube that are better at it.
Pros
I have been using Final Cut for a long time. When I was a student in highschool this was a really hard tool to use. We used it because it was a great product but it was very difficult. I remember seeing a library of manuals for it in our lab. However, years ago they came out with FCPX and it is very user friendly now for the basics, yet still has the depth to do anything.
Cons
Wish their was more transitions, effects, etc. You can find tons of this online for a cost or even free sometimes but I wish the program itself had more to start with.
