Is it usefull to buy Final Cut Pro X for making music video's or not?

Right now I'm using iMovie 11. I can put the audio an the video togheter and stuff but thats kinda it... So if I wan't to use more effects and stuff should I buy this?

I think FCPX is very good for short-form work like music videos, and definitely a big upgrade to iMovie. Additionally, the interface is similar so you'd have less of a learning curve.
There's a ton of hidden power though, and you probably would need to follow some tutorials and/or read instructional material in order to really be able to use the software efficiently, and understand what it has to offer. Many people have given high praise to Ripple Training; there's also some free training available at: http://www.izzyvideo.com/final-cut-pro-x-tutorial/ that can get your feet wet, so to speak. And I know Mr. Wolsky is working on a book that would be great to have, once it comes out.
At the moment, there are still a bunch of bugs that need to be ironed out, which you can read about on this forum. If you are willing to deal with a beta-quality product that has lots of potential, I'd say go for it. The most important thing to remember is to have a way of backing up your projects so that in the event you are hit with the worst of the bugs, you can still recover work.

  • 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. :/

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    256GB SSD  it shipped with will run low and one of the things to watch.

  • I am trying to download Final Cut Pro, but it keeps telling me there is not enough space on my hard drive even though there is. Help?

    I am trying to download Final Cut Pro, but it keeps telling me there is not enough space on my hard drive even though there is. Help?

    I realized that my laptop only has 2GB of memory. It's a MacBook Pro 13in bought in 2009. Is it true that I'm able to upgrade up to 8GB of memory. Seems like 4GB of space is a lot for a single program to be running.. A bummer I'll have to save up for more memory.

    You don't. You can't control how other computers or browsers play back the footage.  The best you can do is export a master file that plays great on your computer.  What youTube does with it, or how other computers play it back is out of your hands.
    Just like me with broadcast TV shows.  I deliver the most pristine version I can to the network. But then they convert it to a digital file that they then beam out to cable and satellite providers, who then compress it again to play on their systems. And then it arrives at grandma's house and plays on her TV. I have no control how my grandma receives the signal, nor how her TV is set up.  Unless I am nice and tweak things when I go visit. But I can't do this at every house that might want to watch my show.
