This is just a small update, but it addresses various issues that users have been experiencing with the prior version of Final Cut Pro. The update to Final Cut Pro 10.6.7 is available through Apple’s “Software Update” routines built into macOS, as usual with any Apple software updates.

How to edit very fast with Final Cut Pro

Personally, I use Final Cut Pro for most edits that I do on my own. I find it much faster on any Mac system than Premiere, and much less buggy, and I still need to wrap around using DaVinci Resolve for full-scale non-linear editing. Final Cut Pro “just works” for me, and I was even able to edit 4K video on a 2015 iMac which I only recently replaced with an M2 Max MacBook Pro (and now it flies, obviously). It would have been impossible to use a Mac from 2015 to edit on Premiere efficiently.

If you are interested in “seriously” using Final Cut Pro for professional editing, check out our MZed course “Speed Editing in Final Cut Pro” by Dave Maze (David Altizer). He did an amazing job showing how efficient editing in Final Cut Pro can be if you know how to use it properly. It does work differently in some ways from other NLE’s mostly due to the magnetic timeline, but once you have figured that out properly, you will see that that way of working is actually faster. That course will help you get there very fast.
