I hear people just starting out editing find it amazing. But I wouldn't discount FCX.it might work great for you. Adobe PRemiere Pro and Avid are viable alternatives. Whats need is just a common video converter like EaseFab Video Converter for Mac. Actually, its not as difficult as you imagine.
But I wouldn't suggest investing in discontinued, old software. Final Cut Pro works best with Apple ProRes codecs, so you just need to downscale the 4K footage to 1080p ProRes for using in FCP 7. No biggie if you shoot tapeless and deliver tapeless, but I still work in a world where tape is very much alive.įCP 7 was discontined over 2 years ago.only placed you can buy it are eBay and Craigslist and places like that. Adjust the audio volume across all selected clips to a specific dB value. It doesn't capture tape from non-firewire devices, for one.
It will let you use Final Cut Pro full version without any restrictions for a month. But I assume that you are new to this whole thing, so you don't even know how FCP 7 works.so you don't know how it's different. In case you want to use exclusively this program, the only way to do this is to get a 30-day Final Cut Pro free trial. The Magnetic Timeline uses advanced metadata and Clip Connections for faster, easier editing. HOW is it different? There are lots of tutorials out there for it, so find them and watch and see. Redesigned from the ground up, Final Cut Pro combines revolutionary video editing with powerful media organization and incredible performance to let you create at the speed of thought. But there are tasks that some editors like myself need to do that it just doesn't do.so we don't use it. It's fast, it's does a lot of what many people need done. Apple Final Cut Pro: Final Cut Pro has rich support for the MacBook Pros Touch Bar, letting you scroll, adjust colors, trim, choose in and out points, and more with just your fingers. But it isn't is perfect for a lot of editing jobs. Not ALL us older types are against it.but a lot. Older people (like me) who've been editing for a while and have gotten used to ways of doing things don't like it much because it's completely different in it's approach.
