Why I use it
Its job in the stack
I use Final Cut Pro for fast editorial work on Apple hardware. Magnetic timeline editing, background media handling and close integration with the Mac make it practical for documentaries, interviews, social cuts and generated-media assemblies.
Editing speed only matters when the story remains clear. Libraries, roles, captions, audio and exports are organized so a quick cut does not become an unrecoverable project.

What it does not solve
Collaboration with teams built around other editing systems requires deliberate interchange and archive planning.
