  • i would say premeire is better because it can wrk 4 windows 7 and final cut pro x is supposed to be a crappy program. idk i use windows 7 so i cant really compare

  • permiere won

  • but final cut pro went x and commited suicide

  • ... my conclusion is they r the same well 1 better then the other 1 at somethings and vice versa

  • Wow this is the worst comparising I have ever watched, also the price, Apple dosn't give you much of a student deal, Adobe is only 450 Euro for the whole Suite! I'm not saying that Adobe is better, but this video is pure crap!

  • This video is a damn joke. Final Cut Pro is outdated now. Premiere is WAY faster and is much more compatible with many more camera formats and video workflows. It also has great integration with After Effects and Nuke. Adobe also cares about their customers and aren't controlling freaks like apple so they continue to update and change their software.

  • ...says the guy called 'TheAppleMilitia'. 

  • I like how he talks about whats "professional", yet in another video he said he wasnt a professional. hahahaha

  • I think Lightworks is the winner here.

  • the reason why production premium is more expensive is that it comes with the after effects and photoshop. there is nothing like this in final cit studio. stop saying that if you like premiere pro you can't be a professional editor, when you obviously not a pro editor as you don't compare any of the features to do with editing. im am a mac user but i don't go around saying everything else on the market is crap.

  • ow. another one.

    Reaction: Final cut and Adobe Premier are both great piece of software. Just because you are a mac user doesn't mean that programs on windows are crappy. applman2 is right, don't criticize these programs since you're not even a pro video editor.

    I Use sony vegas and soon stepping it up to Adobe Premier Pro.

  • @sourjerer no fcp is a lot better if premiere is so good how come premiere has not been used to edit any movies and fcp has been used to edit nearly every movie and before you say adobe after affects special effects are done in aae and all the clips are put to gether in fcp. i was like you until i stopped using adobe premiere then i seen the better program trust me mate fcp is a beast and it dosent lag when you do anything. i honestly think your just but hurt because you cant get it on windows.

  • @mobilemig Hmm... as a dinosaur I remember that fcp was the first editor to use H.264 but for exporting only. H264 is not ever for editing, it is just that premiere uses a proxy system to edit Mpeg4 codecs while fcp doesn't, so it seems to not support editing it. Well, though trans-coding takes awhile, it gives far better i.q. retention, color correcting holds up better, and because it is not i dependent it is much more stable.

  • way to run a mac and say final cut is better, well no shit mac-er

  • Fuck arguing, get what you like and find best for you. which is better? theres no answer. Both amazing bits of software used by so many film makers.

  • i think with the abundance of pirating the issue of price is null and the decision should be based more on workflow.. which is what i was looking for in the video 3/4 thru the thing and still talking about price

  • Pro american, right here.

  • At the end you said you cant buy final cut pro 7 with out buying the hole studio you can buy final cut express

  • final cut pro does it works with windows?

  • I think the video is useful. I don't understand why some viewers left harsh comments, instead of being constructive.

  • I'm getting a I Mac soon, but the only thing that wasn't really nice is how you said if your poor or whatever.. Your so full of yourself. First of all, who knows if this redneck even owns a Mac, he might be running FCP on a Hackintosh

  • the accent and the soda almost makes me feel like this must be a joke or something.

  • @sooperchikken WTF are you ripping on his accent for, I dig it. My folks are from the South and I've lived in areas with southern accepts. I kind of like them to tell you the truth, better than the Boston accent that's for certain. Jury still out on my choice but probably will upgrade from iMovie 11 to FC Pro.

  • @KingCast65 honestly, i wish i hadn't said anything about his accent. i feel like an ass about it now, and i sincerely thank you for calling me out. at the time, it just felt to me like his accent was being exaggerated in some funny way. but you're right, it's never okay to make fun of someone for something that isn't their fault. The Apple Militia, if you're reading this, i hope my comment didn't hurt your feelings too much. That being said, wtf were you drinking a soda doing a tutorial?

  • @sooperchikken Fair enough, right on right on. BTW I quit soda many years ago, sugar is anathema to the black man and not too good for anyone else either..... plus it gets in the way of the alcohol :)

  • This guy can go fuck himself, I'm on a Mac and use Premiere Pro CS5 and Final Cut Pro. I prefer Adobe CS5 lineup but FCP is awesome also. This guy is a fucker.

  • Loved FCP 7, but X is rubbish I'm afraid. I did try but there's no way i can work with "X", Apple has dropped the ball big time. I do agree that FCP 7 was much better than Premeire CS4, but things have changed.

    Premiere now has V5.5 which is stunning - try it.

    Colour was a good software, but Apple dropped it when X was forced on us.

  • adobe premier is a what i prefer, becaue of the dymanic link between after effects, and audionce

  • stfu, macs suck comlete balls, in every way possible

  • @m200mw this isn't even a mac discussion dumbas.

  • Love the accent! Sticking with FCP7 (but forget X for the time being...maybe 10.2) :s lol!!

  • Love the accent! Sticking with FCP7...but for X for the time being...maybe 10.2 :s

  • if you open up full screen mode it looks as if u have a mac. lol

  • you're an idiot.

  • Bet you cant say that now, final cut has lost the race and Final cut X is being pulled from the market adobe rule.... do your home work premire was still running circles around final cut when you did this video and still is today half of the movies you watch in theaters today are edited with either premiere or avid. color is not the best grading software never have never will be.

  • I do this for a living, when I started working for a boss I had to use Premiere, whilst at home I'm using FCP! Now I really gave premiere a chance and tried to get the best results. I'll cut to the chase. My biggest problem is when using the the same workflow to get a HQ export as with FCP. Working with movs I just dont get the same quality export! I understand PC is not really compatible with Quicktime...And it really shows!!! The compressed export is not nearly as smooth as from FCP!

  • Just won't admit that something is better or the same, typical Apple fanboy

  • motion is NOT the industry standard, not even close. after effects is MUCH better

  • what a shit biased apple fag review

  • for the pricing, why dont you compare the price of getting a mac and a pc of the same hardware? Mac cost 30%-50% more! lol, if you buy premiere, it's not just premiere you're getting, you get Encore (powerful dvd software), Encoder (powerful queing & encoding softw) and onlocation (a tool which allows you to setup your camera and set color live on camera). and as far as i know, FCP doesnt have a good real-time rendering system as APP has

  • for me being able to edit and sync up to 16 clips using the multi clip feature in FCP7 is unmatched by anything else out there. Premiere Pro has some great features, mainly its integration with After Effects, but I do a decent amount of music videos with anywhere from 8 to 16 clips on average and you just cant do it as easily with anything other app out there. If you have a PC and not a Mac then Premiere is a no brainer, but with a Mac use can run both.. cant be mad at that!

  • Great post. Great info.

    Super curious what you think of Final Cut X and really hope you make a post about that software.

    Peace,

    C

  • color, compressor, sound track +final cut pro 7 = premiere

  • @TheBuckingFuffalo

    well color is better than premiere's color correction though :P

  • It's like iphone4 vs galaxy s.

    Comes down to your preference.

    With Windows you don't have choice but to go with Premiere.

    Yes, if you are a Mac user, you can chose either FCP or Premiere.

    Mac is usually more expensive than Windows. Cheaper FCP price offsets there.

    For professionals, price difference of a few hundred dollars doesn't really matter

    coz you make money with your software, do tax offsets, claim in expenses.

    it all comes down to what software you are comfortable with.

  • The ease of workflow from Premiere to AE alone makes Premiere a better program....

  • I'm a Windows user and i have to say that the Final Cut Pro is a slightly better software. Also, no offence intended at the Adobe producta because they're amazing in my opinion. But in thes case the Final Cut Pro is better. And for all you guys out there who are obssesseb with money. Price doesn't matter that much in this case.

  • You are a true Hill Billy.

  • if you baaa...uhh lets see here lol

  • it's funny 'cause you say final cut pro is the pro editing program if you can afford the equipment, I think the movie industry would disagree, because they use avid media composer.

  • @Soap1O avids era is ending though

  • @BANNASON No its not, Avid will make changes when they have to. They are sitting pretty on top so why change?

  • @CCGeorgeWashington well any editor with little to no knowledge of programs knows avid is better. but a buddy of mine that is a bit editor for the tonight show has been forced to make the switch =\

  • this video helped me alot i struggled with premiere so much got final cut due to this video and wow it was amazing thank you so much final cut pro is way better

  • In your price comparison, why care about price since you spent the extra 20-40% for a Mac than pay for a PC of the same specs?

  • FCP is great but in reality all big NLEs do some things better than others. FCP pro res, Color are awesome. Motion is easier to learn than AE. Adobe SC5.5 has great aspects to it including Photoshop extended, AE, Premiere was created by those that created FCP, Avid is the real industry standard unfortunately it does not come in a suite.

  • I learned as a salesman you have 10 seconds to set the hook. That being said, good work bro!

  • This is like watching an eskimo review dirt bikes...

    I was searching for a useful review on CS5 and FCP. This was a redneck reading pamphlets.

    Plus, he rambles about price, when it's pretty fair IMO.  Sure Color is great, but AE blows motion out of the water. And everyone needs PS regardless, so the bundled prices seem very reasonable to me. I'm debating switching to CS5 due to the Mercury and Cuda hardware acceleration. Back to searching for useful reviews.

  • Both are great, but premiere is faster.

    If your serious editor, buy Autodesk smoke. That can do it all, and it cost 17000 dollars.

    I think you need a wall ram to run it, you must have 12 gb ram or more.

    Good luck

  • Final Cut just makes more sense to me than premiere pro.

  • @cansande8520 Not to bash Final Cut....but short of using a few networked AVIDS, I don't know of a program that runs smoother, faster, or more in tune with After Effects than P.Pro.

  • i bet he has never even seen premiere in real life, and then he brings other applications into it all ganging up on premiere, then he brings in some apple propaganda videos and ends off with "haha, now you see", and i'm thinking to myself "um....., nooooooo"

  • sony vegas is the BEST! its better than FCP and dobe apremiere

    i HATE how FCP has to MAKE you render a video to preview it!!

    thats INSANE!!

  • @animedaiskii that might be because your project settings don't match your source material. I started with Sony Vegas and it's a good editing software, so I don't want it to seem like I'm slating it - I switched to FCP around three years ago... seriously once you get proficient with Final Cut you won't look back. Plus there's the rest of the studio...If you get the chance to use FCS I'd say go for it.

  • Have you used CS5? FCP is lacking what CS5 is doing. Also CS5 is more of the leading software. Just because you own a MAC doesn't mean you can just jump on one side, your judgement isn't very good. Also CS5 can do REDnative unlike what FCP.

  • Have you ever used Premiere? Try it before you judge. Don't base all you opinions off of pictures and text.

  • I am a Final Cut Pro user but also feel that Premiere is great as well. This video is such a joke. Improve your video editing skills before you comment on pro editing programs. Stick with your $99 screen flow. Also go watch "The Social Network" made completely on Adobe Video Suite. Also Avid is much more expensive that both of these and is also an industry standard standard. Should people not use it because of it's cost? Think before you speak.

  • @applman2 Actually, the "Social Network" was made on Apple's Final Cut Studio, edited on Final Cut Pro 7. Premiere is very rarely used in Hollywood Productions, Avid holds that title. Final Cut is used for some Hollywood movies as well as many television shows.

  • @applman2 Social Network was edited on FCP before being handed off to Premiere. This is according to Adobe's own PR materials. Read before you speak.

  • thanks for your view mate....

  • I'd disagree... and I use FCE.

  • the other 50% is using premere :D

  • Funny, you should have done this "analysis" when shopping for a computer, I saved over two grand building a PC vs. buying a mac, and the components are so good that apple doesn't even offer a computer that matches it's speed or quality. Add that to the fact that I got CS5 for $350 because I am a student and the student discounts offered at apple are laughable I would say that you're a hick that hasn't done his homework.

  • lol is this a joke...

    fucking red neck telling me that final cut pro is better than adobe.

    The redneck probably doesn't even know how to use them both.

  • @HaloSparta Dude. While I do sense some bias on his side, attacking an calling the guy a redneck and assuming that he's dumb is not cool. It's obvious that the guy is computer savvy. Bias? Yes. But computer savvy too.

  • I disagree

  • I like this Red Neck review.

  • Dude what the fuck is that humming noise in the background? it sounds like a shitty computer fan.

  • Smoking Kills!

  • final cut pro 7 is $1000

  • agree

    

  • @SundlunHD in pirat bay

  • @JemiLover120 premier yes final cut no

  • It's hard to take a hillbilly talking about technology seriously.

  • you idiot .. the cs5 suie has like 12 programs in it .. and the final cut studio has like 7 .. and adobe much more effeciant

  • Gay

  • I'm on this years macbook pro, and so far I think I've spent more time rendering than editing. Also, comparing Final Cut Pro Studio in comparison to CS5 Suite is just about the most retarded comparison I've ever heard of. In CS5 you can do WAY WAY WAY more than video editing. CS5 makes about seventeen different fulltime occupations, while FCP Suite just is for video editors.

  • Comment removed

  • what about sony veags and final cut?

  • i use a mac pro 8 core and use both pr and fc and prefer premiere pro over final cut any day. i love how ae, pr, ps, ai are intergrated and i take total advantage of this. the interface is beautiful and smooth. BUT i do you color to grade...

  • YEEEHAAAA ! WHERE DID YA CUM FROM, COTTON-EYE JOE !

  • Well, I find it ironic that Final Cut is an application that was started by Macromedia, a company that was bought out by, and is largely now Adobe. Irrelevant argument, AppleFanboy.

  • eff the haters OS X forever!

  • After 10.18 minutes of LOL'ing, this was a waste of my time. back to DailyMotion for some real videos!

  • HAHAHAHAHAHA he smokes around his mac... You void warranty smoking around your mac..

  • Mercury playback engine FTW! Premiere FTW!

  • red support is vital

  • I bought the CS5 master collection for around $3500 AUD, I actually only use Soundbooth, After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Photoshop but I have never been happier with a creative suite. The mercury playback engine for nVidia CUDA is just amazing and the interface is just so operational. It literally does everything. If you a real designer, this is what you will buy.

  • 5:19 he cant work his mac till 5:34 aha

  • a rich redneck eh? who woulda thunk!

  • @edenccamargo LOL

  • If you're in the business you're either using an avid product or using final cut pro. I'm not going to say FCP is the dead on best out there because it's not, but premiere isn't coming close to FCP maybe by CS6 or 7 but not now. For $999 you get more than what you're going to be paying for premiere. I'm eventually going back to school and fell in love with film, so obviously I'm investing in Final Cut Suite and a Mac Pro. Anyone have tips on getting top $ for a HP Z800? and a Dell 3008WFP?

  • i gets my software free cause theres more hackers on pc

  • BIAS!....

  • As much of an Apple fan as I am, I even must admit it all comes down to preference. I know CS5 makes use of multi-core processors. The latest FCP doesn't, which I hope changes soon. I much more prefer FCP over Premiere because it's what I'm used to. If all I've known is Premiere, I'd probably stick with Premiere. But to me FCP workflow is much better from what I've experienced. I do wished Apple would quit focusing so much on the iPod and iPad crap and get back on track with their pro aps.

  • It makes it look good to get an imac with FCP since it is cheaper than a PC of same speed with CS5. Have to do without AE but for event videography I haven't found a better starting point. Just my opinion from research....

  • "I'm sure Premiere has it's good features too..." Umm, okay. That's tells me this is an emotionally biased review. For future comparisons, at least try out both products first. This was ridiculous.

  • stupid southerner, they don't know anything about computers/software. you can't even argue that

  • This is ridiculous. To get the advantages though which After Effects provides you, you would need to have Nuke or Shake. Which is additional cost. You cant suggest that After effects provides what you need but, lets pretend it's not even there...because its more money. By getting AE, photoshop, etc, 's its more bang for your buck.

    We use both Premier and FCP in work, and this is the a poor comparison.

  • my final though . i do like the mac's design , but mac performce is not satisfied me.

    would the imac be better. ? i would like to hear your response ...

  • another point I want to make . It would take me around 59 min to export a 10 min native Hdv on this macbookpro i7 2.66 4G of ram.

    I can export a video a lot faster with my custom build pc ( intel Q6600 . i had it for 2 years)

    so what do you think ? mac vs pc ... Price and performce ?

    plus adobe cs5 have a lot new features ( premier pro had been improved a lot vs final cut studio 2 did not step up ..!?

  • i got macbookpro 15 inches i7 (2010) . i paid around $2500 with apple care .

    it was an awful experience. the first time i got it at Apple store in South Coast Plaze ( OC) . the screen had flicker, they replace with a new one. i was not happly with the hard drive's speed , i returned with no restock fee. i had to order online for another macbookpro same model with higher rpm which was 7200. it did not solve my problem. Mbp i7(2010) cannot beat my custom build intel Q6600 ( i had 2 year Ago.

  • It's all a matter of preference. When it comes down to it when you are in a professional environment you need whatever tools that make you look good and help you perform at your best for your clientele.

    I am a FCP user myself but I have both products. I only got the Adobe suite for After Effects (Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver and Flash) which IS in a league of it's own.

    I may do my own comparison video and I will try to remain unbiased.

  • I agree. I agree final cut pro is better i bought FCP Studio HD 2 and when I tried adobe I just got confuse for some reason FCP is a lot easier and a lot better

    I wanted to know if it's possible to export files from adobe to FCP ?

  • Redneck? lol

  • so if it is 800 final cut is 1000 so shut up u gay it is better becouse it is for both formats and what the fk do you mean pc users are poor look at ur room hilbilly

  • i have pc......so PREMIRE for me

  • I thought this was between Premiere Pro and FCP. all he did was say FCP was better and talk about color. If you compare FCS to the Adobe CS5 suite... Adobe kills FCS. And when talking about the prices of the two suites you forgot to mention that the Production Premium suite from Adobe includes Photoshop, Flash, and Illustrator as well as Premiere and After Effects. And most video production studios use Photoshop. You're actually saving money by not having to buy FCS and Photoshop separately.

  • You would have thought if final cut was so good you would have been able to sort out the background sound ;)

  • Why in the hell is this frogram only for Mac? this is shit!

  • 3:08 taco bell!!!!!!!

  • Yeah this is a pretty unreliable review.

  • it souds like u've never really use adobe premiere a whole lot and u make adobe loose on perpose. adobe lets more ppl use it and it's also cheaper and the results r the same, also final cut pro is not being widely use in the"big industries" ur thinking of avid idiot

  • So let me see if I can get this right...

    First you say "theres no comparison".... then you say "as good as Premiere is, FCP is 10x better".... then you say, "you can get good results from Premiere, probably just as good".

    And how exactly can you make a render farm with 4 cores?? A farm is a network of machines working together on a sequence.

    And how exactly are you qualified to say whats pro, and whats not pro? You said yourself that you are not a pro.... lol

  • A lot of contradictions there.... dont you think?

  • both are very good programs. i use both on my mac pro. and in all honesty it depends on the person. you did a half decent comparison but you compared pp to final cut studio. if you compared suit to suit adobe wins no questions asked. final cut studio is video only, adobe production premium has phototshop, illustrator, flash, premiere, encore, aftereffects, and onlocation. you mean well with your opinion. but back it up with evidence why you think final cut is better then premiere.

  • excuse me guys, the description clearly says he only says his opinion?

  • How do you capture the screen, and video yourself at the same time?

  • Hey buddy, I was here for information. Not hearing your 3 min. long intro with pointless information. Yes, the price difference is vast, but you are a bias retard.

  • There is a big difference in the 2.

  • I bought Master Collection for 2599.

  • I just bought Adobe CS5 Master Collection for Mac. ;)

  • Well keep in mind that with Adobe's suit you also get Photoshop, Illustrator, and Flash. When it comes down to just video editing, I have no doubt that the Final Cut suit is better with all of it's features such as Color, but the extra $700 for the Adobe suit gets you more state-of-the-art applications, such as mentioned.

  • that is one fucking dock damn

  • Dude just around it off $1000.00

  • are there gaps in your dock or does it just look like there are? how did you manage that , i like it…

  • i used both of them, they are same ! only the price is different ! but IMO final cut is better

  • shut up you hill billy

  • in the end what really matters is the Final Product...

  • lol silly redneck. for that CRAZY price of $1,700 you also get the "industry leading" photoshop extended, flash professional, illustrator, etc. lol

  • boy oh boy do i like nascar hyuk hyuk hyuk

  • @Shabasky1 LOOOL

  • ya of course he like final cut more because he has a mac, duuuuu----moron

  • All you guys need to stop getting butt hurt about him choosing Final Cut Pro. I am personally a PC person but at least I can accept that an apple product can be better than an adobe product. I don't see why all you people get such hard ons for adobe stuff.

  • I just installed Premiere CS5.... try and tell me Premiere is cluncky now. I can play many layers of HDV native footage, put effects on, cross dissolve it, and render it completely smoothly and fluidly.

    I'm sure FCP is awesome, but now with premiere being able to edit such hefty footage like no other NLE can, there's certainly a reason to get Adobe.

  • this guy is stupid he claim to have people response to him about the two product...bullshit bro and no need to make yourself look good.....hey bro take your sh#t and go do your research before giving a actual comparison. this guy sound like a apple guy and says nothing decent about the two editing software....waste of time crap balls

  • You know what bother me.... Having to stared at you messy bed from this side of the monitor.....

  • I use Final Cut Studio, but did Apple know what is a Blu-Ray Technology is? That's the fucking problem with Final Cut Studio. Adobe is already with a second generation with Blu-Ray and Final Cut Studio is still like a dick of a dog, always behind.

  • Final Cut Pro is an industry standard application, but not the only application used in the industry. Personally, Final Cut Pro is the one I use, and it works well for me.

    You didn't do much comparing of the two apps. You just spent half of the video repeating the price difference over and over again. It was like you were just trying to fill time. I think you should have actually compared features between the two apps to back up your argument that Final Cut is better than Premiere.

  • adibe premiere cs4 pro is the new shit is otaly better than final cut

  • so, you're life philosophy is> poor people use PCs and rich people use Macs?

    p.s. have you heard about p2p and piracy? who buys software for personal use?!

  • with ONLY premiere pro it comes with adobe media converter, encore, and even on location

  • Honestly if you want to compare Adobe Vs. Final cut, then you should be omparing Adobe After Effects Vs. Final Cut Studio. This is because although premier is a great editor, it is still more on the "consumer" side. It seems like you want to compare 2 pro systems and Premier is not it. I use Final Cut Studio and there are a ton of things I think it does better than After Effects. however to each their own. both software suites are used to make movies. No fair to put Premier against FCP!

  • I compared the two products and ended up getting adobe . You appear to have an office in your bedroom. Totally non professional. Just a guy talking out his ass. You are breeding??? That was the sadest part of the video.

  • I just looked at the adobe production package, you get photoshop, illustrator, flash, after effects, soundbooth and more.

    An extra $600 for photoshop and illustrator? To me that seems a bargain, show me a photoshop rival in the FCP Studio package...

  • but if u were to compare fcp with sony vegas, what would be better, cuz i have a pc and i use vegas but im beginning to see some nice stuff from people who use fcp, so what would u guys say to that?

  • anyone interesting of getting final cut studio 3 for $99 including shipping and all installation discs and serial email me.... why waste weeks and weeks downloading and most the time it does't work....thanks

  • This is stupid, apart from price he doesn't actually really say or show how FCP is better than PP. He says color is the best, after saying AE is the best... so not sure what he's on about there.

    This is just another apple fanboy who makes crazy sweeping statements with no proof or reasoning.

    Oh and you say listen to the pros? Okay, well you're clearly a bed-room editor so I'll ignore this review just like you advised me to! :)

  • @vitchb damn you a beast. haha but thats true he act like he some "professional" wow, dont even act like one if your still living with your mama, you no what im saying lol

  • @vitchb After effects has the same color correction as PP hahaha he fails.

  • Now, I'm using Avid Media Composer. It's not better than Final Cut Pro but it's so good.

    I think that Premiere Pro is not the first choice for professional editing. No, sorry, Ppro isn't too stable, and haven't too options for trim or multicam.

    My favorite stay FCP. But Avid is so good !

  • Great post, I agree FCP is great!

  • i think you are forgetting one key in your video that you have to spend

    up to 2000 on a mac then spend 999 on final cut making 3000

    a pc with more power than any mac under 600 with premier being 1700 (tho after effect is a better way to go about it ) makes 2300  saving of 700 pluse a adobe has a better gui (my oppinion )

  • How do you put your video or a seperate video window in the corner like that?

  • It's premiere.
