Differences between express and pro

Hi:
What are some key differences between the Pro and Express versions? I understand that Pro included in the studio package and express is a stand alone product. Anything else?
Thanks!

Express is limited to DV, HDV and some AVCHD codecs.
Pro will handle just about any codec you throw at it and is scalable to hardware as well.
DVD SP, LT, Motion, ST, Cinema Tools are included in Pro. Color as well which is worth the whole package.
Only LT with Express I believe.

  • Whats the diff between express and pro??

    Just wondering what the main diff between the two are. I've used pro at school, but cant afford to get it at home. Will i still be able to use the same audio instruments like the same synths and plug ins??? Also, would i be able to run the program on a mac mini (top of the line)?

    All I was saying is that if a person can afford to get Pro, they definitely should. The difference in features adds up to at least the difference in price, if not very much more.
    Having said that, Express is good value compared to most other DAW software at that pricepoint, but it is only intended as a 'Lite' version.
    Some examples, off the top of my head, of differences not made really clear in the comparison list.
    Input Objects:
    In Pro you can use Input Objects to monitor incoming signal without rec-enabling a track. That doesn't sound much, on the face of it, but what it means is you can use external FX units (hardware) as inserts in tracks (or busses) just like plugins, and bounce them with the mix. it also means you acn monitor what you are playing into Logic Pro with plugin FX applied, but record dry so you can hear your guitar with the reverb, or whatever, but still have the recorded dry signal so you can change the FX settings later.
    Pro has some very handy environment objects. The main one being the Trabsformer object. But also another extremely useful object is TouchTracks.
    If you've ever played with Ableton Live you would have noticed you can triger clips with the keyboard in all different ways (loop, gate loop, one shot etc.) Well TouchTracks does that with MIDI regions.(I have a feeling that feature in Live was modeled after Logic's TouchTracks' as it is incredibly similar.)
    They are only a few examples of a whole range of differences. If all the differences were itemized in the 'comparison chart' it would be about 3 pages long.
    All I am saying is, don't take the comparison chart as the definitive list of differences.
    yes, Express is a good basic tool and you can do a lot with it, with some imagination.
    The SOS author's claim that:
    you're paying less than a third of the price of Logic Pro and getting over 90 percent of the functionality."
    is not true in totality.
    It may be true to someone who has never dabbled in audio software before, because it takes literally years to become fully conversant with every function in Logic Pro, and no-one uses absolutely everything.
    But for serious users, who have big demands, in my opinion, Express is less than 30% of Pro's functionality.

  • Differences between standard and pro versions

    I was reading the comparision of these two Acrobat versions and for Pro it says:
    Edit and enhance photos to add to your PDF communications with Adobe Photoshop® CS5.
    Quickly transform static PowerPoint slides into compelling, interactive PDF presentations with Adobe Presenter       
    Rapidly combine screen recordings, narration, video, slides, and more into a rich media experience with Adobe Captivate® 5
    Does that mean that the Pro version includes Photoshop, Presenter and Captivate programs as well? Or, what are the differences? As an aside, the new look and feel of the Adobe website is confusing at best. Seems geared to being flashy, not useful.
    Regards, David

    Acrobat does not included those other packages. One of the pages that always struck me funny (maybe I have a twisted mind) but has this artistic background is the updates page. The background looks like a lacy bra to me. It is the first thing that comes to mind every time I see it. That is a problem with abstract images (that are typically unnecessary and waste bandwidth), that a lot is in the eye of the beholder. Actually, I have heard from many others that also see the bra.
    OK, back to Acrobat. There are several aspects of Acrobat that allow you to have links to the other products built in, but they are not included. The page at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/buying-guide.html?promoid=JIJYS provides some info, but a lot is missing. For instance there are differences with PDF Optimize and Reduce File Size I think (sorry, I do not have Std to check). One important one that is part of pro is the preflight option. Apparently Std does not include portfolios or allow PDF comparison according to the chart.
    If you are into forms, then Std apparently will do them as AcroForms (my preference, partially because of familiarity), but does not include Designer if that was your preference. Some of the enabling for Reader is not available in Std. Also, Std does not allow embedding Flash. Std is limited for some of the products that include PDF Maker (not a big one for me, but might be important to you).
    That is a quick summary based on the chart. However, be aware there are some other features that the chart does not seem to cover. For the difference between Std and Pro, I would suggest getting Pro. The big hit is the initial cost of the product, not the step up to Pro. In a business plan consider the time that might be wasted trying to do some of the things in Pro that are not in Std. Those are the types of issues to consider. Many folks consider the cost to be large, and for a small business it is. However, in the long term it may be worth the cost.
    Keep in mind that many large CAD packages in engineering run about $30,000 for a single license, half the cost of the engineer that would use it. Some other tools are about $15,000. In that view, Acrobat is cheap (except for cheapskates like me).

  • What is the difference between express and extreme?

    I am wondering what is the difference between express and extreme and will there be any effect in performance if I am just using it at home?

    I am just looking for router that gives me reliable highspeed wi-fi for personal use within my home.
    Wireless performance is roughly equal between the two devices, with a slight edge to the Extreme since it uses a bit better antenna package.
    If I connect the the hard drive to the extreme, does that mean I can back up all my data wirelessly through the port into my external hard drive?
    Yes, if you backup manually, or use an application like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. 
    No, if you were planning to use Apple's Time Machine application since Time Machine backups to a hard drive at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme are not officially supported by Apple.

  • Differences between Express and Extreme?

    Are the only differences between the Airport Express and Airport Extreme the ability to connect speakers to the Express (I don't think the Extreme does this) and the number of computers that can connect to the Extreme is higher than the Express? Is the range the same between both?
    Anything else?
    Thanks!

    kat.hayes,
    1. Yes, the antenna for the Extreme increasing the distance.
    2. The ethernet port can be used for several things.
    a. hooking to your Internet modem
    b. hooking to a hub/switch for other wired components. (printer, computer, etc.)
    3. Yes, the "N" series is supposed to be faster for in house sharing of video and other larger files. And Yes, anything shared "In House" (LAN) will be faster as long as the other equipment has "N" capabilities.

  • Difference between MacBook and Pro?

    Hi there. Just a quick question...
    I looked at the MacBook for the first time today (rather than the MacBook Pro) and saw I could get the same spec for less. The only difference I could see was the screen size. I'm sure there's more to it. Can someone explain? Thanks

    Other than the obvious screen size difference, the other major difference is the video chipset. The MacBook uses an "integrated" Intel GMA 950 with 64MB of shared videom memory, while the MacBook Pro uses an ATI Radeon x1600 Mobility with 128MB or 256MB of dedicated video memory. This translates to much better performance in games and thing that make heavy use of the graphics card.
    To me, this is the only real difference, and if it weren't for that, I would own one right now. As it stands, though, I need to do a little more thinking about whether I'm ok with essentially giving up the option of playing graphic-intensive games in XP. I'm not a huge gamer now, so it might not bother me much, but the idea (for me) was to get a MB/P as a desktop replacement, and in case I want to play games in the future I'll need to go back to the desktop...

    This shows you what's new in Premiere CC 2014, and you can use the links on the left side of that page to see earlier updates.
    (CS6 is an old version, which was followed by CC and CC 2014)

  • Difference between Satellite and Satellite Pro L100

    what is the difference between satellite and satellite pro? for example - satellite L100-175 and satellite pro L100-176?

    Hi,
    the difference between Satellite and Satellite Pro is the operating system:
    Windows XP Home for Satellite
    Windows XP Professional for Satellite Pro
    The difference between the models L100-xxx is just the equipment.
    For Example the CPU:
    Sat L100-175: Core Duo T2500; 2.0 GHz
    Sat Pro L100-176: Core Duo T2400; 1.83 GHz
    For further details look in the specs of the models.

  • What is the difference between quicktime 7 pro and quicktime x

    What is the difference between quicktime 7 pro and quicktime x

    QuickTime Pro 7 is a very useful video tool.  You can make simple edits to video files, cut-n-paste multiple video files together into one, save the video or transcode it into a variety of common video formats, use it to analyze a video to see which codec it's in, and even play videos in professional settings.
    QuickTime X is completely useless.
    With QT X and Final Cut X, Apple has completely abandoned the professional video market.  Both of these software packages are dumbed down for Windows users, and are intentionally designed to anger and alienate the professional user that has come to rely on Apple software for their video needs over the last 20 years.  Final Cut X is really just iMoviePro. If I wanted iMovie, I'd use iMovie, but I need a professional video app, not a kiddie video app.  Therefore I can not use FCPX.
    I have work to do, under strict deadlines and budget limits.  FCPX and QTX actively prevent me from getting any work done at all.  Apple has left me no choice.  I have to go back to Adobe Premiere or Avid Media Composer since these are still professional applications.  Final Cut and QuickTime have been turned into kiddie-style iMovie-like apps that have no functionality whatsoever.
    Apple is heading in a very disappointing direction.  They have a history of cutting off legacy items without notice.  They have decided that optical media is over and everything is online.  But my clients don't have that luxury.  I still have to deliver products on DVD and increasingly Blu-Ray.  Apple's obstinate refusal to support Blu-Ray has cost me clients, and I've had to resort to third-party software and hardware.
    Apple has abandoned the professional video market.

  • Is there a big difference between Intel Iris Pro graphics and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M graphics processor with 1GB of GDDR5 memory

    Is there a big difference between Intel Iris Pro graphics and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M graphics processor with 1GB of GDDR5 memory, is it worth paying an extra $200?

    Software support of graphics card is key.   If no graphics card is mentioned in software specs, then it can be ignored.  Mostly games and high end image and video graphics software are affected.

  • Difference betweeen Express and discoverer

    How is oracle discoverer different from Oracle Express .

    There's a big difference between FCP and FCE.. which is right for you is dependent on what you're doing I think. FCP 2 actually has functionality that FCE doesn't have... like working in formats other than DV. But that said, many of the newer features of the app are included with the current version of FCE. like HDV editing, (no native though, you need FCP for that) and like more filters, (but FCP has even more) etc... In reality, FCE's learning curve is about the same as FCP's.. FCP just gives you more features, and of course, more applications because it's part of Studio...
    If you are a working pro, FCS 2 is the way to go.. if you are an enthusiast working in DV or HDV, and you don't need the pro features, and don't care about the extra applications in studio and don't care about recapturing, offline/online scenarios, RED support, HD support, professional color correction, higher quality MPEG encodes for DVD's etc.. FCE will serve you well.

  • Help me clarify: Difference between Joining and Extending Wireless Network

    I've eventually figured out how to get my AirPort Express to allow my Mac Pro access to the internet Via Ethernet cable by joining an existing wireless network. What's the difference between that and extending it? By extending it I loose my ability to use the ethernet to connect to internet on my Mac Pro. Odd thing is though when I initially used AirPort Utility to set up my AirPort Express, I went through all the options to get it configured to access my existing network and I checked option to allow internet access through ethernet. All is well, but then I still don't have access to the internet through the ethernet and I noticed that the setting is on Extended. Just curious why it would give me the option to use the ethernet, set it on extended and not even work.

    I've eventually figured out how to get my AirPort Express to allow my Mac Pro access to the internet Via Ethernet cable by joining an existing wireless network. What's the difference between that and extending it?
    When "joining a network," the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) acts just like any other wireless client (laptop, desktop, printer, etc.) You would want to configure the AX to join a network when you only want to use it to share a USB printer and/or stream iTunes.
    When "extending a network," the AX can perform as either a main, relay, or remote base station in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). A WDS is primarily used to extend a network wirelessly.
    By extending it I loose my ability to use the ethernet to connect to internet on my Mac Pro.
    If the AX is configured as either a relay/remote base station in a WDS, you actually can use it's Ethernet port for Internet access. Of course, this relay/remote must be connected to a main base station, that itself, has Internet access.
