Your timeline is referred to as a Sequence, and within this you can make use of Nested Sequences. With Premiere, you can make use of Bins, and my personal favourite, colour labels! However FCPX posesses the option to use keyword tags more easily, along with assigning roles to your imported media, both of which are invaluable to me when I'm editing with Final Cut.Īdobe Premiere also makes use of a more traditional style timeline using tracks, which can prove useful when needing to separate lots of different audio, visual and effects tracks. Your personal preference will also come into play.įCPX and Premiere have very different interfaces, although many of the features are very similar.Īs I mentioned last month, footage organisation is a huge part of any editing process. Adobe however have moved onto a subscription based model, meaning you would be paying continuously, either on a monthly or annual plan, to continue to use the software.
FCPX is (currently) available as a one-off purchase with unlimited updates, so you don’t need to worry about paying for a subscription.
FINAL CUT PRO VS PREMIERE SOFTWARE
I would advise also taking into account the system specifications ( Premiere) ( FCPX) for each software, as this can also dictate what your computer will be able to handle.Īnother really important aspect to consider when choosing editing software is the cost. Final Cut is exclusively an Apple product, which means that unless you’re technical enough to come up with a workaround ( Hackintosh) it’s unlikely that you could use FCPX on anything other than a Mac.
FINAL CUT PRO VS PREMIERE MAC
Adobe Premiere can be used on either a Mac or a Windows PC, meaning that further down the line if you decide to change your hardware, you can continue to use Adobe products. When choosing the right software for you, it's really important to assess your stylistic needs, as well as the capability of the hardware you posess. Regardless of how you do it, if you can put together a compelling story, you’re good at what you do. It doesn’t really matter what brand you use. It’s just a tool, the same as a camera, laptop or any creative technology. I’d like to start off by saying that I truly believe a good editor is not bound by software.
