And the colour grading, though more intuitive than Adobe’s, doesn’t match up to Resolve’s.įinal Cut Pro costs $299.99, a hefty price tag. However, the social media functionality, though improved in the recent update, is poor compared to Premiere Pro’s. Its interface can be very efficient and it has excellent file organisation. Though it’s not been improved upon in recent years as much as Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro still has many advantages. However, DaVinci Resolve is still the best choice for in-depth color grading options. It’s very intuitive, more so than the equivalent in Premiere Pro, and gets good results. There are also sliders for saturation and brightness around each wheel. You have four wheels-master, shadows, highlights, and midtones-and can drag the centre of each wheel towards the color around the edge, with the resulting color helpfully displayed at the side. If you’re working quickly or aren’t confident with advanced tools, you can automatically balance colour, saturation and exposure, or add one of many presets.īut for precise work, the color wheels tool is very useful. There’s an impressive selection of colour tools.

Plus, you can use keywords to tag not only entire clips but also sections of clips. This useful feature saves time trawling through your footage.
Final Cut is also able to analyse clips on import and sort them into folders based on type of shot (long, medium, or close-up), whether they contain people, and whether they’re stable. There are options to create optimised or proxy versions of your video clips when importing to libraries, and to automatically balance colour or fix audio issues. This is useful if you’re likely to make more than one video using the same footage. Rather than importing media to a project, as you would in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, you import to a library, which you can access from multiple projects.
