Does anyone use Apple Final Cut Pro? ---

No sorry. Are you considering it? ---

I got it with my MacBook Pro so I thought I’d try it ---

I’ve used Final Cut Pro X a lot for video. Here’s 482 examples of my work - [https://www.youtube.com/c/TodayThis](https://www.youtube.com/c/TodayThis) …then I found Descript. I don’t do complex video work anymore, so Descript is great for the caption videos for my podcast: [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCO0i8oZ4bYGPj6XswowbxGQ](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCO0i8oZ4bYGPj6XswowbxGQ) If you need to do greenscreen or complex titles or transitions then FCPX is frankly wonderful, but it can be a lot to learn though there’s a youTube video to teach you anything you don’t know about how to use it. ---

FCP is super powerful, but overkill for a lot of things. ---

@AnetteCarlisle Perhaps I should ask him when it becomes worth it? So far I’m satisfied with Audacity, Descript, and Auphonic for audio, and less satisfied with Shotcut for video. I could see trying Final Cut for my 60 sec PodCom Journal ---

I’ll PM you with his cell and email. Here’s his podcasting page: [Podcasting — First Class Reels](https://www.firstclassreels.com/podcasting) But he’s an absolute wizard at video as well as audio. ---

I met with your son. I’ll take his advice and begin to learn Final Cut Pro. ---

I’ve found that DaVinci Resolve works great for the video podcasts that I do. There are features that let you [fine tune your audio](https://blog.accusonus.com/edit-audio-davinci-resolve-need-know-836/). Plus it’s free. ---

So, I started with both Descript and FinalCut Pro for video editing. I previously used Shotcut. I’m learning more because I have a client that likes a couple of simple YouTube videos I did for them last year with Shotcut and wants me to do some more this year. I use the caption/transcript .srt file from Descript. I’m having difficulty inserting clips into the video with the caption srt while maintaining alignment. Thoughts?
