Safety overview
Status: Safe
Final Cut Pro is a legitimate Apple video editing application for macOS. Access to files, folders, microphone, camera, or the photo library can be consistent with importing media and editing video, but you should still allow only the permissions you use in your workflow. Large libraries, render files, and media caches can consume substantial disk space, so review storage locations before deleting related data.
Recommendation: Keep Final Cut Pro if you edit video on your Mac or need access to existing libraries and projects. If you no longer use it, removing the app can free space, but keep any libraries, media, templates, or backups you still need for future editing or exports.
