Final Cut Pro is one of the most advanced organizing tools of any professional video editing application and helps filmmakers tell their stories in whole new ways The Social Network and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo are just two blockbusters edited on Final Cut Pro - but in recent years, Apple has reduced updates to its software, prompting some users to complain.
HE WORLD’S PREFERRED VIDEO EDITOR
Final Cut Pro has come a long way since it first launched in 1998, with the software now ubiquitous in the film and television industry. Although Apple’s also worked on iMovie since 1999, a consumer-focused video editing platform that has been free for all macOS users since 2013, it’s Final Cut Pro that has had the biggest impact on the world of video editing. First created by Macromedia Inc, Apple acquired the software in 1998 and the rest, as many say, is history.
According to one report, Final Cut Pro makes up 49% of the United States professional editing market, though in recent years it’s faced increased competition from the likes of Adobe Premiere Pro and VEGAS Pro. Indeed, some of the world’s biggest films have been edited on the software, including The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, 500 Days of Summer, and X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but with Apple significantly increasing its investment in hardware with the likes of the M1 Pro, M1 Max, and M1 Ultra chips, and the launch of the Mac Studio and upcoming redesigned Mac Pro, many argue that the software no longer lives up to its rivals, and indeed does not make the best use of the advancements in Apple technology in recent years.
