![]() Thanks to the dynamic link, you can drag your comps into Premiere, and when you make changes to that comp in AE, those changes will appear automatically in Premiere. Premiere’s compatibility with After Effects makes it incredibly useful here. Most editors I know use Adobe After Effects to create their motion graphics. However, in Premiere, you’ll often find yourself having to wait while you manually render your edits before you can watch them back. ![]() This means it’ll render your timeline while you’re working, which will allow you to watch your edits back smoothly, when you so desire. In addition, FCPX also gives you the option to background render your edit. Once you select all the clips you want to move you’ll find yourself creating and closing gaps manually. Premiere doesn’t have a magnetic timeline system, which can make editing far more laborious. When you move a clip that’s in the primary storyline, the gap that is now left will automatically close, bringing the clip that was after it forward. This helps keep your editing nice and efficient as you can move whole sections of an edit just by moving one or two clips. That way, when you move one clip, whatever is attached to it will move with it. All your other audio and video clips attach to whatever is in the primary storyline. For example, in my edit below, I have my interview footage in my primary storyline. Within that, you have the primary storyline (as shown below), in which you put your main footage. FCPX uses something called the Magnetic Timeline. Premiere divides audio and video into separate tracks.įCPX doesn’t do this. First off, Premiere divides your audio and video into separate tracks, even if your file contains video and audio. However, there are a few distinct differences. In many ways, they both operate quite similarly when actually editing. The Favorite function is excellent for saving those precious gems. Sadly, you don’t have the ability to do this in Premiere, but I often wish you did as it’s unbelievably helpful. This can be particularly helpful if you have an assistant editor, who can search through your extensive B-roll to find the gems, which they can save for you using the Favorite function. Then, you can select Favorites in your event viewer and you’ll only be able to see your desired clip portions in the event viewer. Once you’ve done that, a small green line will appear at the top of the section that has been favorited. This is where you can select your preferred portions of each clip and then “favorite” them. However, the best thing (in my opinion) about FCPX’s capacity to organize your footage is favoriting. Personally, I think Premiere misses out on not having keywords as often many clips fall into several subcategories and it’s helpful if you can label them accordingly. But with keywords, multiple keywords can reference the same clip. Therefore, when a clip is in a bin, it can only be in that bin. These are different from keywords in that you don’t just tag a clip rather, you put it into a bin. However, in Premiere, you can organize your footage within bins. FCPX’s keyword collection allows you to tag clips with specific words or phrases. ![]() If you click on this keyword, it’ll show you all the clips that have been tagged with it. Luckily, each software has a variety of tools at hand to help us get our footage and audio organized.įCPX gives you the option to use something called keyword collections, in which you can tag clips (or portions of clips) with a specific word or phrase. FCPX is far less customizable than Premiere.īefore beginning an edit, most of us invest a little bit of time in setting up our projects (or libraries in FCPX) in a way that will enable us to edit as efficiently as possible. I hope that in the future, the software creators over at Apple might take some inspiration from Adobe and make FCPX more customizable. You can also only have one timeline open at once, and it’s just far less malleable. If your inspector is visible, it’ll always be on the top right. However, FCPX only has four default workspaces and the ones that you can create are far less customizable than those in Premiere. So, once you have perfected your layout, you can access it again next time with a simple click. In addition, you also have the ability to save your customized workspaces. It also comes with nine default workspaces that you can use that are organized according to post-production task. For example, you can have multiple timelines open at once, or you can drag-and-drop your panels to change your workspace so that it’s perfect for you. ![]() It’s well-recognized that Premiere has an incredibly customizable layout. Let’s compare these two pieces of editing software-Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro X-in five different areas of performance. ![]()
