Final Cut Pro was first released in 1999 and has come a long way since then. The latest version, Final Cut Pro X will only cost 299 dollars. The 64 bit application is capable of tapping 8 cores of multi core processors. The system has a new interface that will support picture resolution up to 4 K. At the moment, there are about 2 million
Final Cut users. In the olden days one could only use
Avid Media Composer which is still a favorite with the film editors.
