Both Adobe Premiere and Final Cut are very popular nowdays.
Here are some features that make Final Cut winner.
This advanced video editing
software offers nearly every export option you can think of. Furthermore, the application's production menu supports all file types and codecs. You even have the option to export an unfinished version of your project in an XML file to send to other collaborators, such as composers or animators, for fine-tuning and finishing.
Here are some features that make Final Cut winner.
Apple includes in this professional video editing software is the innovative new magnetic timeline. This new take on the old concept of the timeline makes it easier to compose your project because it automatically snaps the clips into place. It also adjusts clips automatically as you move clips around on the timeline. This is great because it reduces the amount of time you spend adjusting sequences by moving one clip at a time whenever you need to insert something new.
Another innovative feature is the ability to create compound clips. Simply put, compound clips are sequences that the application treats as a single unit. The advantage of compound clips is that you can move sequences as a single piece rather than one at a time. Heretofore, it was a two- or three-step process to move complicated sequences around, and once you got it just the way you wanted it, moving it piecemeal would disrupt the sequence and you couldn't always get it back. Compound clips eliminate this problem nicely.
The precision editor included in Final Cut Pro X allows you to adjust the cuts between clips by sliding clips into each other. This is another great timesaver because it eliminates the multistep process of fine-tuning clips on the timeline. The precision editor gives you granular control over clips and cuts even after you've dropped them into the timeline.
If you're working on a complex project like a music video or a feature film, you're going to have a lot of media elements to work with. Final Cut Pro X takes great strides to make the process of organizing all your media as easy as possible with what Apple calls Smart Collections. This feature enables you to use custom keyword and metadata information to automatically sort your footage. You can set up collections by shot type, camera, scene number, people in the shot and much more.
The Smart Collections tool also draws information through another innovative tool found in Final Cut Pro X, the content auto-analyzer. This scans your footage and determines what kind of media it is (audio, video, etc.), whether or not there are people in the shot and how many, and shot type (e.g., close-up, medium wide), and then prepares your clips for color and audio enhancement. This is a really great organizational tool.
Export and Production
Final Cut Pro is only available for machines running the most recent versions of the OS X operating system and this is the only pros of Final Cut. Final Cut offers more effects and transitions than Premiere
