Switching from Final Cut Pro to Adobe Premiere Pro

[@TechTunerLife]

Fran and PC! 🤔 3950x beast 😍

[@amirhaveryt]

As someone who's been a Final Cut Pro user for a while now, I started trying out Premiere and I gotta say it's quite embarrassing how Premiere works better on my mac than FCP does. No lag, no random crashes, no delays and definitely no playback lag. Quite impressive and embarrassing at the same time. I do think I'll stick to FCP but maybe use Premiere from time to time. I really like the built in library of titles that's already included (which on FCP is Movie Maker garbage).

[@MikeDancy]

I'm also in the middle of a switch from FCPx to PP. But I get the educator discount on adobe since I worked for a university at one point. so it's $20 USD /month :) I went from a 2015 15" MBP to a Dell 5580 i7-7820HQ with 16GB ram

This was an incredibly helpful and well made video. Thank you

[@daisykiller6]

pretty good video, professionnal style is always welcome from smaller youtubers! nailed it, was pretty hesitant to sell my macbook pro, I think you convinced me!

[@tlchmedia]

Trying the same thing. Been a Final Cut Pro user for 2 years. Fully used to it, but I really want to switch to Premiere or Resolve so I can use a Windows machine for editing.

[@FranklinReid_]

Yes! then those damn m1 macs came out and I switched back but I miss premiere so im switching again lol

[@tlchmedia]

@@FranklinReid_ Premiere is coming to M1 Macs soon, and it still works using Rosetta 2.

[@FranklinReid_]

Oh yea for sure It will be native to the M1 mac soon hopefully, I ran it a few times when I first got my M1 mac mini (on Rosetta of course) and it was super buggy I've got to try it again and see if things have improved.

My first Apple computer was an eMac G4, back on September 6, 2003. It came with a whopping 1GHz CPU, 128MB SDRAM, and a 60GB HDD. This computer ran me $849.00 at the time (college-student pricing), and was one of my most memorable computers because it was so different from Windows.

[@FranklinReid_]

Yes! I think thats one of the stand out things when it came to Macs back in the day it was just so different from Windows

[@TheCrutchbrigade]

My first computer was a 286, a long long time ago.

[@drlambo161]

Who else really wants a good setup like him👇🏻 Edit: I have this pc that runs 70 FPS that my uncle gave me, I have a blue yeti mic and a Logitech keyboard.

[@ortsabari2850]

I love your video man, keep up :), I'm now at this situation because I have a MBP and a strong pc and I don't know which one to use cause I see a lot of comparison videos that say that FCP destroy Premiere Pro in export time

[@FranklinReid_]

Thank you! glad you enjoy the videos, so yea ive been bouncing back and forth, specially since the M1 macs came out ive mainly been FCX but my PC comes in handy for bigger projects.

[@ortsabari2850]

@@FranklinReid_, I'm sorry bro but I feel that you didn't give me a cutting answer I should call it :p, what is your advice for me bro in my current situation? Thanks a lot :)

[@thetiredtourist3927]

and today is Dec. 21, 2020... you might want to switch back.

[@FranklinReid_]

I leveraged both for a long time, and yup now i'm on the M1 Mac mini with a bunch of broken FCX plugins XD

[@thetiredtourist3927]

@@FranklinReid_ ya the plug in thing is a pain, but I'm sure the major ones will all be available soon. What I really would like to know is can you use FCP to it's full extent, what I mean is, can you color grade and add a LUT, Stabilize a 4K 120fps slow mo... if it can then I'll buy one tomorrow.

[@FranklinReid_]

The short answer is yes you can, I just did a video editing review but I tested out footage from my A7SIII ALL I 24/30/60p it and H.265 and it all edits smooth in FCX. I also tried R5 footage 8K Raw and the H.265 footage edits smooth as well. The footage just had a simple color grade, a look lut and a handful of transitions and effects added.

[@thetiredtourist3927]

@@FranklinReid_ My concern rose from the fact that a number of reviews mention stuttering ...but perhaps that speaks to their method of testing. Some test FCP on the M1 MacBook Pro, right on the computer itself, and others do what I believe to be a more real world test... that is, they run off an external drive and that is where my issues lie.

[@mmenigma8211]

Your production quality is great but the title is deceiving. This is a product comparison video for pc vs mac not Switching from Final Cut Pro to Adobe Premiere Pro. I'd like to see the same comparison but pc vs M1 Macbook. Those cost about $1500 and the spec are better than the macbook pro.

[@tommasoclini9902]

Wait, how is it possible that on your gpu is written GTX while it's an RTX 2060 super?

[@coryoung1]

I have a question, that you may be able to answer since this is about 2 yrs old….. so I have the 5k iMac (2018) with 32GB of RAM, and a slightly above normal GPU. I essentially paid for the slightly nicer model than the base. I need to edit a music video done with the Black magic pocket cinema 6k in .bRAW. Now, im one of those, ‘drank the juice for so long that now idk if my computer is good enough, to do this edit. Ive also only edited in FCPX, so switching to premier is already daunting. But, can i get away with this edit if i proxy the imported data? Or is this not a good idea? Also, over time, do you still wish you went with the Mac Pro, or gappy you made the switch to a custom build?? Thank you for your time.

[@Gzus]

Have you thought about snagging a copy of Adobe CS6 to avoid the monthly subscription costs?

[@FranklinReid_]

Yeaaaa, I actually own a license for CS6 but its just not the same and lacking so many features, thanks for the suggestion tho

[@Qiyunima]

In 2021, you will change back to Apple. M1: Hold my beer.

[@FranklinReid_]

Yea im actually on an M1 mac mini now, a bunch of my FCX plugins are broken but aside from that it's pretty great.

[@notthegoodgirl]

@@FranklinReid_ wait, you switched back to Apple???

[@FranklinReid_]

@NOT THE GOOD GIRL yeaaa, I bounce around between my M1 Mac Mini and my PC editing workstation. The performance of the M1 is just too good 😅

[@iam.jasonhoward]

Nice build Bro.

[@FranklinReid_]

thanks man!

[@MikeEdwardsphotography]

“Vastly more superior” Nah homie!! 😂 Well presented video though.

[@FranklinReid_]

lol yea I get it that was a strong opinion, I just think because of all the extra tools inside premier pro like the audio editor and stronger color grading tools adjustment layers etc, its a more complete package. But you can do the same in FCX just needs a bunch of plug-ins. Spoiler alert I went back to FCX XD

[@MikeEdwardsphotography]

@@FranklinReid_ haha! yes! Welcome back! In all honesty, having used both FCPX and PP, I gotta say using FCPX is so seamless and simple. The only thing I really miss using is Audition. Besides that, I'm happy I went back to FCPX.

[@jakem4042]

DaVinci resolve pro is the best editing software imo

[@FranklinReid_]

yea, I think that's the general consensus as of lately, I just have issues with plugins and making intros, maybe I need to give it another shot

[@1sonjohn44]

Dude love the channel but Make more content!! Lol✊🏽

[@FranklinReid_]

lol im trying,

[@CinematicAerials]

Use resolve for editing

[@FranklinReid_]

i tried, i have a hard time with it, but i think i should give it another shot

[@CinematicAerials]

Franklin Reid yeah it’s amazing give it another shot

[@CinematicAerials]

Franklin Reid it will be the best choice ever

[@zezozam]

i was in your place few years ago, so i build a PC GTX1070 Hybrid /1700X /Samsung NVMe it was fun not gonna lie, but wait till you deal with Windows and realize how rubbish it is. even tho i have only two software and one plugin Revit and AutoCad. no internet browser no game nothing NOT EVEN FILES and still need clean reinstallation from time to time. i moved all the file i work on in my 2010 Imac using ethernet) because Windows simply not reliable and once almost caused me to lose all my clients projects. you want my advice save up and buy a MacPro or an IMac dont use a laptop as workstation

[@FranklinReid_]

Awe man, thanks for the advise, ur scaring me lol maybe i'll splurge on that Mac Pro after all

[@jakem4042]

Aziz JDI what are you trying to say? I get that you prefer Mac over PC but it seems like you’re hashing on Windows. It’s fine for you to express your opinion to others, but don’t try and say that Windows is horrible and everybody should switch to Mac, especially when you’ve given no evidence. I prefer windows personally, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to tell people that Mac is trash and garbage and try to manipulate them to buy a PC when they already have a Mac. Just share you opinion a little less harsh next time, man. Windows works perfectly fine and is superior imo

[@paolopappalardo5727]

@@FranklinReid_ Allwasy do backup for work. no matter if you are on Ios or windows.Every storage can fail. Ibet Aziz JDI did not do any backup on an external drive,cloud or server.

[@techgoggles]

dont do it!

I know, I know, I should suck it up and get the Mac Pro
