Customer Reviews

Mixed emotions.....
This version is deficient of many important abilities that decent video would need in the same way as FC 2 suite is packed with some programs and utilities majority of video don't need at all. Unfortunately there's no normality, no firm middle ground. I think Apple has to determine who is dedicated audience for the product.

great program
i am a beginning film student at a school in santa monica, ca. let me tell you, as one as computer ILLITERATE as i am, final cut pro was so easy to learn. i was amazed at all the stuff it has--color correcting, sound/audio level adusting, effects, etc. i am now gioing intio my 3rd quarter and am looking forward to working with this again. i would not use any other post production software.

Just as good as FC HD and better than iMovie
I've actually downgraded from Final Cut HD because when I bought that software it didn't work with my computer and then Apple couldn't fix so I was out $300. I needed to buy another software package but didn't want to spend another $300 so I went with FC Express. Because I'm a student it only cost me $99. To tell you the truth it's not that much different than the full version of FC. Most people that use FC are doing features which I'm not doing, and other people use it for the title generator and sound editing. I have other softwares for that.
If you are looking into upgrading from iMovie and want FC go with FC Express. It's cheaper and there is not much difference in the two. If you are taking a video course at a college or other schools, check out the student discount price, it's great.
