Final Cut Pro is a suite of powerful tools for video and audio editing. In this sense, the product supports a wide range of formats, including those used by professionals, such as H.264, AVCHD, REDCODE RAW, Sony XAVC and AVC-Intra. Similarly, you can import and export audio formats such as AIFF, MP3, AAC, WAV and SDIL.

The editor interface is not very different from those of other programs of its kind. However, it may look a bit intimidating to first-time users. Be warned, however, that the benefits you will get from the long list of tools it contains are well worth the steep learning curve.

A key element of any media editor is the timeline. Here you will not find track numbers; in fact, they are not called "tracks" but "lanes". Fortunately, there is no limit to the number of such lanes you can create. Another advantage of the timeline is that it is magnetic, i.e. by simple dragging operations, the clips automatically adjust their position.

By the way, the product contains convenient tools for sorting and trimming clips. In this regard, trimming and splitting a clip can be done on the spot (directly on the timeline) or in a separate editor, called the Precision Editor.

Final Cut Pro excels in the way it allows organizing the media assets in the project. Thus, an advanced organizer allows finding any clip in the blink of an eye, thanks to a combination of keywords and automatic metadata. more
