Is there a discount to buy FCP X if you already own FCP7?

Is there a discount to buy FCP X if you already own FCP7? I just purchased a copy not to long ago...

Apple has changed their pricing models with the App Store. 
Basically there is no longer such a thing as an "upgrade" price.  There's just a "full" price.  Every time you get a major new edition you pay the "full" price again (but software updates within that major version are free). 
While this sounds bad... they've offset that by just lowering the price of new software in general. 
If you total up what you'd spend for your initial "full" price for software plus the price of each incremental "upgrade" edition of the software (times however many upgrade versions you buy) and then compare it to that same number of "full" prices versions purchased at the App Store, you'll find that you're still saving money at the App Store.  So while there is no "upgrade" price anymore... you're still coming out ahead.
My issue with the new Final Cut Pro X is that I think it's such a disappointment that it's not even worth the reduced $300 price.  I basically view this software as an advanced edition of iMovie and I think it should have been priced as such.

  • Is there a discount to buy HD after buying a show in SD?

    I recently upgraded to a Macbook Pro and after watching some of my purchased items noticed how much better the HD is than the SD. I was wondering if I still had to pay full price to buy the HD version of the movie if I already own the SD version?

    Sorry but no, the movies studios offer no discount for owning the SD version. If you want the HD version of a movie, you'll have to pay full price.
    Regards.

    It may be that if you already bought the iPad versions using your iTunes account, you get a discount on the Mac versions? (That's just a guess - it applies with FileMaker, but I don't know if it does with iWork).
    There is no discount for one version of the iWork apps due to owning the other version.

  • 40% Discount - if you already own a product

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to find some way that I - as a home, not professional user - can make the CC package affordable. I use it in work and would also like to use it for 'hobby' work at home.
    I realise this may not be in the spirit of the offer! - but technically:
    if I bought any single piece of Adobe Software - at anytime, even today - between CS3 and CS5 - does that then entitle me to the 40% discount? Cynical I know but... technically?
    At least it's legal.
    Thanks folks,
    John

  • Anywhere I can buy FCP on its own without going crazy on FCS???

    Is there anywhere I can buy FCP 6 alone instead of in the huge, massively expensive FCS 2? I don't even really need all that other software either...

    As I recall, when it was available by itself, FCP sold for about $1199.00. So the cost is pretty much the same but you now get all those other applications for virtually nothing. Also consider that you don't have to install all the other apps if you choose not to do so.

  • Hi there, i want to buy a registered version of PS CS4 (and an Upgrade to CS6)from a private Person...is there any Possibility to check if the Adobe ID,Licence,User is a real person...or a fake before buying it? Thanks for helping!

    Hi,
    just got an offer from a private Person, who owns a boxed Version of Photoshop CS4 (DVD) and an Upgrade from CS4 to CS6....he told me that he can transfer the current license to me... now there's one important question for me...
    Is there any possibility to check his Adobe-ID (which he already told me) if it's the same adress, name,etc. as he told me...
    or if there is an registered Version of PS CS4 owned by this Adobe-ID?
    Just like to check if he's a real person or a fake...don't want to buy any stolen or illegal software...or beeing punked after paying the money...
    Thank you very much for helping me! :-)

    Old versions of Photoshop are not marketed by Adobe. Only CS5 can be upgraded to CS6.  There are many scams on the web if you find a cheap copy of Photoshop out there its most likely a scam... Be careful.....

    Call the online store and ask them!  We are just users like yourself.  Besides, you will get a much faster answer directly from the horses mouth and it will be correct!

  • Is there an upgrade option from FCP 7 Suite?

    Is there an upgrade price for FCP X, Motion and Compressor?  I just spent almost $1000 on the Suite a couple months ago.

    There is no upgrading from FCS to FCP X. This is a completely new application. If you install it will bundle the FCS apps into a folder and install separately. Also, you cannot open FCS/FCP projects in FCP X. Prices are as stated in the appstore.
