I somewhat agree with Don, Resolve has certain advantages, however, for editing before color grading and the like, for media management, for sorting the media, FCP has it down to a science, the keywording, the hide used media, just those 2 features are worth the price of the app..
Yes Apple has not been at all kind to creatives in the way Apple Inc handled Final Cut Studio [aka classic or "7"] leaving it on an odd update 7.0.3, then going silent for way too many years, then crisis with the launch of FCP X, then the relaunch as FCPX 10.1, then the rename to Final Cut Pro...
Updates are way too infrequent, this led creatives to write an open letter to Apple Inc, that really put Mr Cook in a sour mood, even longer periods of updates, and then when finally there was an update, nothing to write home about...
12 years from launch to get a scrolling timeline that does not work.. I am still using final cut pro 7 professionally, we have FCP 2023 version, the X version, and it helps me professionally..
I detest Resolve, not a fan of Resolve, it is a great app, but it suffers from the syndrome of tracks, and once you start using a trackless system like Final Cut Pro 2023, then going back to a track based system, and the lack of features in X, it is hard, if or when we ever upgrade, I hope it is edit in X, media manage in X, then final grade and publish from Resolve..
I am old school, kind of set in my ways a bit, for kids today, Resolve would not be a handicap, you should work out what is best for your professional or student work...
What frustrates many is the "raw" war, the battle of which "raw" to use, and now it is getting really hard to figure out what to use, logs, luts, raw files, side car files, you need a PHD in Comp Science from a decent US university with the letters M I T or Caltech...
Apple of late has almost slammed Final Cut, every keynote, we all take note of what apps are shown, and more often than not, it is Resolve or shudder Adobe products, which sort of makes sense with Apple now renting Final Cut Pro for ipad.. [Why they rent this for $5 a month, never been explained..as far as I know...]
Final Cut Pro 2023 version is a great app, and you are more than free to learn multiple apps...
