Should i buy Final cut Pro X, or is the program bad?

I have downloaded the trial, and it works great...I read reviews that it slows down in the actual version. They say there is a lot of missing features. Should I buy the Final Cut Pro X, or try to buy FCS3?

If you like the trial, you'll love the application.
Don't listen to all the bad reports - believe in what you see for yourself.
I've used Final Cut Pro professionally since FCP 3 and I can tell you FCP X is an awesome application - it's saved me hundreds of hours of editing, and I love using it.
If you buy the application, your Events and Projects will still be there for you when you launch it.
Good luck!

  • Where can I buy final cut pro 7

Many thanks!

    According to Apple, Final Cut Pro 7 require 10.5.6 or later so it should be compatible with 10.6, 10.7 0r 10.8.

    An Internet search will produce many sources where you may obtain Final Cut Pro 7.
    Should you have more queries regarding this topic, I suggest you post them on the Final Cut forum in the Professional Applications section.

  • Itunes Store Won't Let Me Buy Final Cut Pro X

    I am trying to buy Final Cut Pro X but every time I click on the Buy App button I get a pop-up saying that I need to contact Itunes Support, which is another story.
    I wan't to begin to play with the software today prior to training but it looks as though that won't be the case.  Does anyone have any thoughts on what the issue might be and how do I correct it?
    George

    There is no way to telephone the Itunes Store.  You have to go by e-mail support.  It may be an account problem but they should tell me that.  I am waiting on a e-mail from them.

  • Updating from fcpx 10.1.1 to 10.1.3 says "Do you want to buy Final Cut Pro 10.1.3?"

    okay I want to update from version 10.1.1 to the latest version 10.1.3. In app store its even there in purchases. But when I go to final cut pro app and click 'Install' it says "Final Cut Pro 10.1.1 is already installed and was not purchased from the Mac App Store.   Do you want to buy Final Cut Pro 10.1.3?". what does this mean? if the update is free why are they saying I have to buy it. :/

    IIf you are signed in to the App Store with the Apple ID used to purchase the software, you would need to contact the App Store.

  • I want to buy final cut pro and install on 2 of my macs

    I have a airbook (2014) and a macbook pro (2013) I want to buy Final Cut Pro. It might be a stupid question but I am new here, do I need to buy 2 seperate licences ?

    If you buy it from the Mac App Store, it will show up in the "Purchases" tab on the Mac App Store. You can download it for free from all of your other Macs by going to the "Purchases" tab on the Mac App Store after you have bought it.
    I hope I answered your question.

  • How to buy Final cut pro?

    Hi, I can't seem to buy final cut pro X. When I try, the apple store tells me I need at least 4 GB to download it. Thing is, I have 96 GB available. I don't understand what I am supposed to do. Do you have any advice?

    The minimum requirements for FPX can be found here:
    http://www.apple.com/final-cut-pro/specs/
    The short of it is - you need to be running osx 10.9, have 4 GB of RAM and have an Open CL video card.
    If your system does not meet those minimums, you are wasting your money to purchase the app.

  • I need to buy final cut pro software  and i need it to support arabic writing the problem iam in germany  the  i tune here does not

    i need to buy final cut pro software  and i need it to support arabic writing the problem iam in germany  the  i tune here does not give you chance to choose the
    language

    If you want the menus and dialogues of the app to be in Arabic, that's not possible, there is no Arabic version of this software.
    If you just want to write Arabic language titles, etc., the language of the app is irrelevant, the input of different languages is handled by the OS, and Arabic input is always available.
    All Apple software is multilingual, no matter where you buy it. For example, the user interface for Final Cut Pro can be switched among English, Chinese, French, German, and Japanese.

  • What are the steps for buying Final Cut Pro X and downloading a full version.i have a license certificate,but i cant be able to license the trial version

    How do i download a full version of Final Cut Pro.I have the license agreement with the serial numbers.but now i am unable to license the trial.What needs to be done here.I was sent the license agreement by our Head Office

    Do you refer to Final Cut Pro as part of The Final Cut Studio bundle?
    Or FCP X?
    The former has serial numbers, the later is a direct purchase from the Apple App Store and no serial number is required.

  • I need to export Quicktime files using the PhotoJPEG, MJPEG-A, or DV codec.  Is this possible in Final Cut Pro X?  In the options under export I don't see any of these available.

    I need to export Quicktime files using the PhotoJPEG, MJPEG-A, or DV codec.  Is this possible in Final Cut Pro X?  In the options under export I don't see any of these available.  I'm a newbie to this so any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm importing .MOV files from my Canon 5Dmk2 at 1080p.  So should I just export using a different codec and then use Compressor or MPEG Streamclip to convert to an MJPEG-A or PhotoJPEG codec?

  • I have been working on a project on final cut pro trial, just purchased the real deal, but cannot find a way of importing the project

    I have been working on a project on final cut pro trial, just purchased the real deal, but cannot find a way of importing the project

    You don't import the project.
    I'm going to assume that both the trial version and purchased version were 10.1.
    Open FCPX and then Open Library>Other, Navigate to wherever you stored the library (ies) you worked on when you used the trial. Choose that library and your work should be in one or more events in it.

  • Final Cut pro doesn't play the frames

    My final cut pro doesn't play the frames in the application.
    The whole time it works great but at ones this happend.

    Couple of things to check and try.
    1) In Viewer Display options check to see whether Better Performance is checked in the Quality section. If not, check it and that should help you set real time playback with a slight reduction in quality in the Viewer. However, it will not have any affect on your project.
    2) If that doesn't work, consider generating Proxy files by eight clicking clips >Transcode Media. There is also a setting in Viewer Display Options to use Proxy in editing your project. Before you export the finished project, remember to change that setting  back to Original/Optimized.
    3) If that doesn't work, download a speed test and check the throughput of your media drive. It should be a separate drive from your start up disk and should be connected by Thunderbolt (fastest) USN3 (next fastest) or Firewire 800.
