Whether you’re just starting out in video editing or you’re already an expert in the field, you’re probably wondering what’s the best video editing software you can use for your future projects. The best known and most widely used software on the market so far has been Adobe Premiere Pro, but lately, Apple has released its own professional video editing software, which is Final Cut Pro. So if you are struggling to choose between the two software, and you don’t know which one is best for you, keep reading!

  1. Adobe Premiere Pro

Pros: First of all, this video editing tool can do much more than just basic editing, but it can also be used to adjust the colors, tune the audio, or add special effects to your footage. Basically, moviemakers usually use this software because of its wide range of options and fine quality. It can be supported on all platforms, from windows to OS for Mac, so you won’t have to switch your material to use it. It is widely used over the world, so it is very easy to have access to many tutorials on Youtube if you are stuck at some point or if you want to improve your basic skills. Finally, Adobe Premiere is a team alliance software, which means that any team member can access any of his member’s files to share and edit it.

Cons: To start with, although it is a powerful software, sometimes it is not understandable and easy on the ground level. It also disappoints with slow performance if you need to work on high-resolution like 4k. Finally, it doesn’t support VFX effects and it suffers slow rendering. 

  1. Final Cut Pro

Pros:

If you are looking for a software to quickly edit your footage on an easy-to-use platform that doesn’t require a background in editing, it will be perfect for you. You will be able to create stunning videos in no time because this software includes VFX effects, it allows the user to edit videos using multiple cameras, it works on Real-time effects and graphics, and it is a more economical option since it costs a one-time purchase.

Cons: 

Like we’ve said before, the major negative point about this software is that you absolutely need a Mac to download it. It also doesn’t work on a network, which results in a lack of regular updates on the software, and it suffers from a few basic compatibilities as well as format issues.
