Final Cut, still the best!!
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I have to record several live or virtual conferences. My primary use of Final Cut, although not professional (using all the effects and features), is to produce professional-looking videos that will be exportable to social media or on the private website I created for my clients. Final Cut is just a perfect tool to produce high-quality videos rapidly.
Pros
- Export to compressor.
- Easily add subtitle.
- Possible to copy and paste templates.
- Possible to add soundtrack without any hassle.
- Possible to extract soundtrack.
Cons
- The tool palettes and toolbars are sometime difficult to decipher.
- Some advanced features are not easy to find.
- Floating descriptive menu whenever the mouse moves on the tool might help.
- So many tools that a novice is easily lost.
- A menu of all the keyboard shortcuts would be useful.
Return on Investment
- Allows my business to self publish video of high quality.
- Allows my business to rapidly export videos to social media.
- In conjunction with Compressor this is an exceptional tool.
- The editing tool allows my business and I to conduct lengthy interviews with experts and share them in a very professional manner.
- The fact that we can do everything ourselves without outside help saves us a lot of money.
- Excellent investment!!
