“Paid for itself in five months”
Used daily for 1–2 years
I was on Creative Cloud at £60 a month. Final Cut cost £299 once, edits faster on my MacBook and has crashed twice in eighteen months. The maths took about five minutes and I should have done it years earlier.
Pros
Speed on Apple silicon is not subtle. No monthly charge. Extremely stable.
Cons
The magnetic timeline took me a month to stop fighting.
Problems it solves
Removed a recurring subscription and roughly halved my export times.
