FCp

FCP is an acronym that can refer to several terms across different domains. The meaning is usually clear from the context in which it appears.

The most widely recognized use is Final Cut Pro, Apple’s professional non-linear video editing software for macOS. First released in 1999 as Final Cut Pro, it was relaunched in 2011 as Final Cut Pro X and later returned to the Final Cut Pro branding. The program offers features such as a magnetic timeline, multicam editing, advanced color grading, HDR support, and integration with other Apple Pro Apps like Motion and Compressor. It is widely used in film, television, and online video production on Mac hardware.

In data storage and networking, FCP stands for Fibre Channel Protocol. This is the protocol used to transport SCSI commands and data over Fibre Channel networks, enabling high-speed, low-latency block storage connectivity. The term FCP-SCSI is often used to describe this SCSI-over-Fibre Channel communication. Fibre Channel Protocol supports a range of data rates, from legacy speeds to modern 32 Gbps and beyond, and underpins many enterprise storage area networks (SANs).

Because acronyms can have multiple meanings, FCP may refer to other terms in different contexts. When encountering the abbreviation, the intended meaning is typically inferred from the subject matter and surrounding information.
