davinci resolve vs premiere pro vs final cut

I love MacRumors, but to be honest, this particular forum seems like it lacks much activity over the last 6 months, which is surprising. I know there are tons of how-to videos on YouTube for everything, but I really want one or more online communities where I can talk to people and get help when I need it. I guess one other big consideration is community support. In the end, I just want to be smart which software I choose up front, because I don't want to waste a bunch of time going down one path, only to find out it won't meet my needs down the road. I am leaning towards Apple's Final Cut Pro X because it is only $400, and I would owe it forever! So which video-editing software should I choose? (I installed a trial version of some Adobe software a few years ago, and I have yet to figure out how to get it completely off of my other Mac?!)īut at the same time, it seems like Adobe offers superior software when you consider Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, and so on. My other issue with Adobe software - speaking from experience - is that their new subscription-based software seems like a real fubar as far as gumming up your computer. However, my biggest problem with Adobe is that they have switched to a subscription model, and if you want to use any of their software, you are stuck for life having to pay a monthly/annual subscription.

It seems to me that Adobe's Premiere Pro is considered the 'top dog' in video-editing software. My end goal is to purchase software that is *professional-grade* and that could be used to produce high-end videos/movies/documentaries.

What are the pros and cons of choosing Apple's Final Cut Pro X v s.

But ironically, I haven't a clue of how to edit this raw footage and produce professional-looking final videos. I have been busy learning videography over the last year or two, and now have a very large portfolio of raw footage.
