Controversy In the Edit Suite: Final Cut Pro X
The new, lower-priced version of Apple’s popular editing software has resulted in a firestorm of reaction. Many professional craft editors don’t like a lot of the changes, especially the inability to transfer projects from Final Cut Pro 7 to the new version. But for many television stations — on a mission to lower costs and hire less skilled personnel to spread video content to a wide array of new platforms — the $299 price tag means it may live alongside server-based news editing systems from companies such as Avid and Grass Valley.
Company lays out details about its newest pro video-editing software and says a handful of missing features will eventually make a comeback.
Apple on Tuesday took the wraps off a revolutionary 64-bit upgrade to Final Cut Pro, dubbed version X, which will arrive on the Mac App Store in June for just $299. Final Cut Pro X has been rebuilt from the ground up and will include support for all processor cores through Grand Central Dispatch.
