I recently revisited Final Cut Pro X when I heard great things about their 10.4 update and….wow! I am honestly speechless at the vast amount of improvements made to this software. Seven years ago I left Final Cut Pro as my preferred editing suite, as many editors did at the time, for Adobe Premiere. Just check with some of Hollywood’s best filmmakers to see if it’s “not for pros”. Given the number of commercials, documentaries, and feature films that have been edited using FCPX in just the last few months, it’s safe to say it’s neither iMovie or very limited. Just ask the many that rely on it daily to edit television and film projects.īTW: When you see a review that says “basically iMovie”, “very limited functionality”, or “not for professionals”, you can trust the reivewer either doesn’t know how to use the product (likely) or has an agenda in favor of Adobe (also likely). It’s a great program for prosumers who want more than iMovie can offer, no doubt, but it’s also a superb tool for pros. Try FCPX and see for yourself that it is far, far from “iMovie for prosumers”. It can be hard to filter out the legitimate complaints. When it comes to Final Cut, and Microsoft in general, there is a lot of schadenfreude out there. Today Final Cut Pro X is an outstanding NLE. However, that’s not Final Cut Pro X today. Add to this the fact that Microsoft handled the update inelegantly, and it was quite the firestorm. There were legitimate issues at the time, with many features missing and an entirely new program to learn for editors that knew FCP like the back of their hands. When the revamped Final Cut Pro X first dropped, it upset many longtime users. Blu-ray recorder required for burning Blu-ray discs. Some features require Internet access fees may apply.
