How to use Final Cut Pro for FREE forever

Introduction

If you’re a mac user and are interested in video editing, you must have thought of using Final Cut Pro. Final Cut Pro is one of the best apps for video editing. It is not only very featureful but is also super fast with its integration with the Apple Eco-system.

It has a clean layout, easy-to-navigate buttons, and a lot of inbuilt transitions and effects. But like many Apple products, it’s expensive. Well, there’s a solution to that.

So Can You Install and Use Final Cut Pro for FREE?

Yes, you can use Final Cut Pro for Free. You can use it for free by using the trial version and setting it up so that the trial never expires. This article has a tutorial for how to do so.

Here’s how:
