What are the main differences in features between FCP and FCE?

I'm buying filmmaking equipment for my teenage son, who has shown himself to be serious about getting started making shorts. One big decision (regarding costs and $$$ allocation for other system elements such as the computer and camcorder)is whether to get Final Cut Pro (studio version) or Final Cut Express. He has used Final Cut in several camps and film school programs. Feedback will be most appreciated!

FCP can't be bought by itself, however Final Cut Studio includes Color, Motion, and DVD Studio Pro.... FCE will not edit any format except DV and HDV. FCP will edit most every format. FCP is keyframeable, where FCE really isn't. There really is a ton of difference between the two apps. FCE has no media management, has fewer effects, etc... One's an enthusiasts' program and the other (Final Cut Studio) is a full professional suite of software... it's certainly worth the difference, but might be more than you want to spend. FCE is a subset of code taken from FCP, so learning it will help with learning FCP... the interface is nearly identical.

  • What are the main differences between  3 three important class types

    What are the main differences between class type 300(variants) , class type 200 (configurable objects) & 001 ( material class)
    Please elucidate on the above
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The class type is a central concept in the classification system. The class type determines how classes are processed, and how objects can be classified and retrieved in these classes. In Customizing for Classification, you define the settings for a class type. You define class types for a specific object type, such as materials. You can then use classes of this class type to classify objects of this object type.
    When you first create a class, you must enter a class type for the class. Each class type is a closed system. There is no link between the different class types.
    he class type determines the following:
    Which object types you can assign to a class
    Which class maintenance functions you can process
    Whether you can classify objects in more than one class
    Which class statuses, organizational areas, and text types are supported in class maintenance functions
    Whether you can use engineering change management for classification
    Which filter functions you can use to restrict the search result
    All materials can be classified with class type 001. Class type 300 is for variant configuration the variants under a class item are called as variants and can be picked during sales order creation. Class type 200 is for classes that are used as class items in bills of material. You can classify the same materials separately in these class types.
    This is basically used to differentiate the BOM class items.

    In addition to Bob Timmons' link the main differences are as follows:
    Extreme has a slightly more powerful antenna (might not be true but from experience it seems to be)
    Extreme has USB HDD sharing
    Express has AirPlay
    Extreme has 3 Gigabit ports (don't be confused by Apple's page. Apple states 4 including WAN, 3 without WAN)

  • What are the exact differences betweern mac book air and mac book pro

    I have not used mac book b4, and now I consider to buy a mac book. I am a college student and majoring in computer science. Can someone tell me what are the exact differences between MBP and MBA? I know the CPU in MBP is better than MBA and what else? Which one would you recommend me to buy? Waiting for your response. Thank you so much!

    This forum is
    Apple Support Communities > Notebooks > MacBook Pro >   Discussions
    So the question is relevant at least to the extent that it is asking for a comparison between a MacBook Pro and a MacBook Air
    MacBookAir definitely favors portability and sports a dual core i5 at 1.5GHz (max RAM is 4GB not user upgradable)
    MacBook Pro  has upto a quad core i7 at 2.4GHz (ships with 4GB and upgradeable to as much as 16GB on some models)

  • What are the main differences between Signal Express and Labview?

    National Instruments provides a matrix so one can quickly compare the
    various versions of Labview but no comparison of Signal Express with
    Labview. Hence how does Signal Express compare with Labview? What
    are some of the things one can do with Labview one can't do with
    Signal Express?

    Howard,
    You clearly don't know what you are talking about. There is no "graphical version" of LabVIEW, there is just LabVIEW. Click on the article "Is LabVIEW a general purpose programming language?" written by the Jeff K. for some easy reading from a few years ago. It is all still true (except that object oriented features and recursion have been added in recent versions).
    One of the main points at this years NI-week was the discussion of how processor development is switching more and more to multicore designs  to improve performance because a simple boost in clock frequency is becoming more difficult. Linear, text based code is not well suited to take advantage of multticore design, while the dataflow based LabVIEW programming language automatically scales well to multiple processor cores, without any need to rewrite older code. I would say that only LabVIEW is futureproof in this respect. LabVIEW programmers are not wimps that are simply too stupid to write text based code. LabVIEW is not a toy language for people that don't want to learn a "real" programming language.
    LabVIEW is arguably the best programming language in terms of getting things done! I've never felt limited with LabVIEW and my programs often don't even have anything to do with data acquisition or instrument control. The difference between text based code vs. LabVIEW is like "DOS vs. Windows", "Radio vs. HD television". "Trilobyte vs. Homo sapiens" (sorry Putnam ). Text based code is monochrome, archaic and outdated and its linearity imposes unecessary constraints on the programmer that can only be (partially) overcome by wasting even more time throwing even more code at it.
    Sure, a seasoned text based programmer will initially have problems adapting to LabVIEW, just because you would need to adapt to and embrace the power of dataflow and not try to make a literal translation of the text code to LabVIEW, retaining old habits. If you get stuck, come back and ask here in the forum.
    You were looking for object oriented features and failed. All you need to do is a quick site search. All the information is out there. Just because you cannot find it in the first five sentences of the glossy brochure does not mean it does not exist. Maybe you want to read one of the application notes such as:
    LabVIEW Object-Oriented Programming: The Decisions Behind the Design
    In general, you should avoid judgement until you have all information. Your opinions seem quite biased and superficial and not really based on hard facts.
    Initially you asked about the difference between signal express and LabVIEW.

    No thanks, there has to be a better way to get an answer to my
    question than get involved in a two month study project.
    If you would answer the first question quoted above, we could certainly help you with the decision. Isn't that the main purpose of this thread?
    You can also contact your local LabVIEW Field Engineer to go over your requirements and help you make a decision. They usually know their stuff!

  • What are the main differences between the original iPhone and the 3G?

    I bought the original iPhone a week after they first came out. To my understanding, the 3G network is around 2x faster when web browsing. I am wondering if there are any huge differences..???

    Depending on your 3G reception level and how many other 3G phones (including iPhone 3Gs and non-iPhones that are 3G phones) are actively accessing the same tower, the connection speed may suffer, but my 3G connection is always much faster than 2x the EDGE connection speed I had with my first generation iPhone. When I leave a 3G network area, there is a night and day difference between 3G and EDGE in regards to data connection speed.

  • What are the main differences between 9 iAS and Oracle 8.1.7 ?

    My question is focus on JServ/JVM/EJB Deployment.
    1. They both provide Appach JServ to support JSP/Servlet application
    2. They both provide JVM 8i to support EJB 1.1.
    3. You can deploy JSP/Servlet application to JVM via mod_ose.
    4. On the White paper about 9 iAS, it says you can deploy applications into JDK JVM or Oracle 8i JVM, does that also apply to EJB? If so, how can you do it (with JDev 3.2 not some other command line tool?), it that one of the different between two products?
    5. Since 8.1.7, application server and database server were built into a package, why on 9i to separate them into two (or three) parts again? - what is the benefit for customers?
    Thanks

  • What are the main Differences between Cisco CallManagerExpress and full blown Cisco Unified CallManager

    I am trying to decide which to deploy to a site that has a little over 100 users and they use a lot of features with their current phone system setup. For example, one setup is ring once to 'x' user and if they dont answer forward the call to 'y' group of users and if they dont answer, go to 'user x' voicemail. Does CME support those kind of configurations?
    Also i have a CUCM environment at one site... Can CME Integrate with that or is it more of a standalone?
    Thanks for any input.

    Not sure if this is still supported, but this is the only option I've heard for CME:

  • What are the main differences between iMovie HD and iMovie 06?

    I've searched the Apple website but cannot find anything regards information about the older versions of the software. If anyone has any ideas as to what the differences are between the two packages then that would be helpful as I was wondering if it was worth upgrading to iMovie 06.
    Thanks

    Hi Anthony - you just need to be aware that imovie 06 has an annoying 'bug' which can affect the editing of still photos (especially significant if making a slide-show involving a number of editing adjustments). If the imovie trash is cleared, it is impossible to re-edit your photos (you will just get a black screen), so they must then be re-imported. This is because iMovie deposits the originally-imported version of the photo into the trash, yet this version is needed for any subsequent editing. This does not happen with iMovie 05.
    So - you are OK so long as you do not empty the trash!

  • What are the main differences between the business and individual licenses?

    The information on the website is very limited and it is not entirely clear what the differences between the individual license and the business license are.
    Could you also please clarify if you do get a true roaming license when purchasing the business license or will it still be a license that can be installed on two computers, controlled by the account. In the latter case would the license have to be uninstalled and reinstalled if we want to use it at third computer? (I do understand that and license can only be used by one person at a time)
    BTW: This forum crashed 5 times on Internet Explorer and I now got it only to work on Chrome. Considering this is the only way of support as there is no email available it wasted already heaps of my time and I am considering not to purchase any further Adobe products for our company at the moment. Very disappointing support, product information on the website and customer service (Phone support only available during eastern states business hours...)

    Edited by: William Eastman on Jun 1, 2010 8:39 PM

    Textbooks are educational books for use in schools and universities and the like. They are currently avaiable for purchase only in the USA. Textbooks have different contract clauses applied to them. Among them is an obligation on the publisher to offer textbooks that are sold in electronic form via other distributors in the iBookstore as well. Textbooks also have different (much lower) pricing tiers, and they must be made available via the bulk purchasing program. Textbooks must be authored with IBA (they cannot be ePub). I believe that textbooks also undergo a more stringent review process.
    Normal eBooks (not in the textbook category) can currently be sold in 32 territories (US, Canada, Australia, and most of Europe), and their pricing tiers provide for much higher prices.
    There is no difference in the widgets you can use in normal books and textbooks. The same widget set that is provided by IBA applies to both. In addition, a normal eBook can be published in ePub format and, therefore, authored with software other than IBA.
    Books can contain audio and video and, yes, iBooks Author allows you to create such books.
