It’s just “iMovie Pro” some still say.īelieve it or not, some people still poo-poo the NLE not necessarily because they think it’s not capable, but because they are still hurt.
To this day, ten years later, I still read comments from editors who claim Final Cut Pro X is not for professionals. However, hop on any sub-Reddit, Facebook group, or any other forum for professional editors, and you wouldn’t necessarily know it.
#Final cut pro 7 software
As any professional editor who uses the program will tell you, the “legacy” version of the software pales in comparison to the power and speed of Final Cut Pro X.
I can’t help but wonder if the engineers over at Apple didn’t have this phrase in mind when they took to rebuilding Final Cut Pro from scratch. The famous late 70s TV show “The Six Million Dollar Man” had a famous line from its opening credit sequence: Nothing could have been further from the truth. And perhaps the greatest change of all was that magnetic timeline.Īfter nearly a decade of slowly becoming a formidable competitor in the NLE space, this new version seemed like it was some kind of tacit announcement that Apple was abandoning the professional market. Key collections replaced “Bins.” Tracks were completely eliminated. On top of that, it adopted an entirely new paradigm for how it worked. Many of the core features that were popular and used frequently in Final Cut Pro 7 were not in Final Cut Pro X when it released.
As promising as the announcement was, two months later when the new version was released, perhaps not even Apple could have predicted the blowback.
