Unfortunately, we work in schools where whatever is cheapest, or whatever our tech people like best, will be what we choose. In my opinion, there is no more powerful video production resource than Apple products. In fact, may televisions stations use something called EDIUS. ![]() Both handle pretty much anything you are likely to come across with aplomb. Format-wise, there’s very little difference between Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere Pro. Once students know how to tell video stories with sound, image, and pacing, it doesn’t matter the software moving forward. Both Final Cut Pro and Premiere Pro support the RAW camera formats and can easily import from Panasonic, Sony, Canon, and ARRI cameras, among others. Ultimately to me, the “industry standard” is to just get students editing, on whatever editing software you can get your hands on. I can assure you Final Cut Pro X is among the industry standards and will become more prevalent over time. But among video editors, especially the ones on YouTube, one scuffle comes up more than any other: Apple Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere Pro They both have 'Pro' in the name, so according to Apple nomenclature rules they should both be excellent. I have been fortunate enough to work with the Apple product managers and developers of the software from time to time and constantly ask for professional examples from the television and film industry. The reality is that my former students tell me that once they learned how to edit using one platform, they find it very easy to learn a new one. There was, and still is, a stigma with Final Cut, because it’s Apple, it’s a little more expensive (you get what you pay for), people still think it’s simply iMovie on steroids, and therefore dismiss its attributes. That said, many of my students who graduate and continue on with video in college, report they are asked to learn Premiere or Avid, and yes, many still use Final Cut Pro X. ![]() Maybe it’s me, or maybe it’s the software. Premiere would take 2-3 weeks to teach my kids the same things. My students learn Final Cut Pro X in a 60-90 minute lesson. ![]() I can do three times the amount of work and projects that I could produce with Premiere or any other software. What is the industry standard? What should we be teaching? Adobe Premiere? Final Cut Pro X? Something else?įinal Cut Pro X is simple, easy, and the fastest software I have ever used. The debate about editing software will always be there. ![]()
