WeVideo is an online video creation platform from the company of the same name in Mountain View, providing editing, collaboration, and sharing capabilities across any device. Anyone can access WeVideo, from any computer or device at home, work, or on the go to capture, edit, view and share with secure storage of their content in the cloud.
It is a one-time cost, great for aspiring video creators, and has a low barrier to entry to get started financially. There are lots of tutorials and plug-ins available online. Whether you are creating short or long-form content, FCPX is easy to use. Keep an eye on your library files since they can grow large and take up a lot of space on the hard drive.
When you need to quickly edit a video, like split your screen, WeVideo is very helpful. If you need to make social media videos, with text and effects, WeVideo is very helpful too. When you need to match your audio with the video... there's still room to improve. Looks like the audio side of WeVideo could still be improved
I am very much impressed with the overall dependability and reliability for the professional edit. Timeline supports multiple formats of the video and delivers best and high quality outputs. When integrated with motion ( product by Apple) gives you optical frame generation making it more powerful
Apple offers decent support, but if you're really stuck go to Twitter or various online forums. There are HUGE numbers of very avid Final Cut Pro X editors who will gladly talk through any issues you might have, point you in the right direction on the forums, and even help you troubleshoot. The community is great.
Implementing Final Cut Pro into the organization was a smooth transition from what we didn't had. We felt we went from zero to hero with this software, due to all the great features that we learned. We took some time in training staff on how to use the software but at the end, this was very useful and important.
Adobe Premiere is similar to Final Cut Pro in terms of quality and usability. Several of my friends and partners use Adobe Premiere, and we all agree they are identical. The fact that I use Apple computers made the choice easy, as Final Cut is fully integrated with the other tools I use. Final Cut is much more advanced than iMovie. However, I use iMovie directly on my iPhone in some cases. There is no accurate comparison.
