Its Magnetic Timeline system is very intuitive, making it easy to find various scenes and shots and move them around. The iPad version is subscription-based though – expect to pay $4.99/£4.99 a month.įinal Cut Pro offers support for 4K, 360-degree video and HDR, as well as providing multichannel audio tools, noise reduction and advanced colour grading. The full software has a one-off cost, but there is a rather generous 90-day free trial, meaning you can have a play with it before committing. It synergises very smoothly with the rest of the Apple ecosystem, allowing you to import music and images easily from your iTunes and Photos libraries. It's another option that is very popular among YouTubers – iJustine, Marques Brownlee, Austin Evans, Dude Perfect and Jonathan Morrison are all examples of channels that use Final Cut Pro when creating their videos. And there's now a brilliant version available on the iPad, too, so your workflow can be perfectly streamlined. At least, if you have a Mac – it's Mac-only software, so Windows users will have to look elsewhere. If you don't want to lock yourself into an Adobe subscription for the rest of your life (understandable), then Final Cut Pro is a fantastic option.
