  • IT would really help me

  • They've fixed a lot of things since the release of FCP X, I use it to edit in 1080i and its very clear and simple, also much quicker if you have to meet a very tight deadline to meet.

    Check out my channel.

    -Thanks!

  • switch to premiere pro cs5.5 people, final cut is dull now

  • STOP MOVING YOUR LAPTOP IN THE BACK! IS ANNOYING!

  • You can still go to the apple site and do a 30 days trial so i advice doing that

  • I don't get it what is so bad about FCPX. I have never edited faster with its simple yet complex tools? Is it just that it is to consumer like, is that why pros don't like it?

  • Do they still sell final cut pro 7?

  • @2505BRIAN i think you can order it by phone from apple but you can also find it on ebay. the prices maybe better on ebay or they could be worse. idk

  • sony vegas is best

  • never do a tutorial based on 24 hours with a software.. learn it first, then make a review.. if you ever need real classes let me know i can teach you a lot.

  • I really hate Final Cut Pro X! What happened to Apple? 

  • Final cut x now has practically all 5 star reviews in the app store after the update LOL!

  • @EamonnDoylePhotoFilm ..sorry to bug but what did they add?

  • @theperez1991 they added multi cam and some other more minor features. Applications (separate cost) that convert your fcp 7 projects to X and the reverse have also been released

  • @pccrybabyhater1 But what would I know right?

    I'm just a 17 year old boy which don't aim to spend the rest of his life working enclosured behind a computer screen... Oh yes and maybe I'm stupid because open minded, or because I stupidly don't aim my anger at people who use a determined software...

  • @pccrybabyhater1

    Interesting as everyone agrees that it is pretty absurd that (as you entitle yourself) a 39 year old professional editor actual loses his time to writing ridiculous angry comments about a different software, which again: As far as I presume has no influence or causes any harm to you (if it does, thats just sad). Maybe it's because your angry at life, maybe because no new job opportunities have come up, or maybe it's just the close-minded effect of the old generation...

  • @pccrybabyhater1 Learning how to use video editing software isn't that hard if you've worked with professional software before. I've been an Adobe Premiere guy since CS3 and taught myself Final Cut 7 for school.

  • @pccrybabyhater1 I doubt you're a 39 year old pro-editor, if you were you wouldn't be calling out someone out and telling them to die over what video editing software they use. If you are then grow up! It doesn't matter what people use to edit, as long as the final product is good, why does it matter?

  • @pccrybabyhater1 Freddy vs Jason? Come on man. Just say 'a famous horror francise' or something. Everything about Freddy vs Jason, as a film, is a train wreck.

  • @pccrybabyhater1 i wonder how old are you...

    because you're either:

    A: 12 and have a closed ignorant mind which leads you to attack so "aggressively" and without reason a operational system, which as far as I assume is not causing you any harm

    B (i hope): You are getting paid by Avid Technology to help sell their software.

  • @pccrybabyhater1 uh...

    "In 2008, the ACE did a survey among it's union members to get an idea for the footprint of various editing programs in Hollywood. FCP had 21% of the market. Avid had the rest. No respondent indicated they were using anything other than those.

    "FCP market share continued to expand in 08-09 according to CNET, stealing more Hollywood customer base, 9 out of 10 Oscar nominated documentaries in 2010 used FCP."

    Avid, every time? Sure?

    U still mad bro?

  • I'm interested in Final Cut Pro 7, anyone know if Apple sells it still? 

  • They've added a lot of stuff to FCPX in the last update. You reviewed the software right after it was released. Apple needs to see what people say about FCPX and then make changes. Honestly, I like X a lot.

  • @pccrybabyhater1 u mad bro?

  • no more worrying and hating anymore, guys! FCPX is now for pros! The new update (10.0.3) has changed everything!

  • why not use adobe after effects

  • @alexDCstudios After Effects isn't a NLE

  • final cut is something that makes a mac special and thay f*cked it up

  • For those who want a cheap, and great editing suite:

    Adobe Premiere Elements 10 Editor

    Motion

    Pixelmator

    Really cheap, all on the App Store, check them out ;)

  • Could you tell me why you don't like final cut pro x. I hate the color correction, but I want to know why you don't like it just so I know what better editors are looking for in a software. I am pretty good in after effects, but I'm not amazing in premiere so I want to know what I'm missing.

  • it is getting better

  • thousandth comment

  • what do you think is better for a cheap video directer i have a mac and a pc would u suggest Final cut 7 or a sony product or some other product? could you answer?:)

  • yep! Apple has forsaken the Pros....

  • Are you going to use Final Cut Pro X now that they have multicam editing and advanced chromakeying integrated in the third update?

  • OMGZ THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS THAT THERE WAS NO MULTICAM EDITING BUT THERE IS NOW, SO DON1T CRY PEOPLE!

  • FUCK fcpx

  • THEY ADDED MULTICAM IN AN UPDATE TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (It's supposed to be incredible now.)

  • @tallplaypix FCP 7 FTW!

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 is a great alternative.

  • Is there a way to buy Final Cut Pro 7?

    cause i really don't want to buy Final Cut Pro X.....

  • @TheApagak It's probably on Amazon, bud!

  • @TheApagak In the last few updates FCPX has gotten a lot better. FCP7 is gone for those who hadn't already bought it or those who installed it. If you absolutely don't like FCPX even with the updates, I would say try either Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 or Avid Media Compressor.

  • Apple ripping people off?

    Well, no real surprise. Their hardware is overpriced, if you can build your own tower you can make a computer just as powerful as any mac PC you'll be planning to purchase at a quarter of it's cost. For independent developers who want to make a profit off the apple store, the android store provides a higher percentage of profit. And then there's Steve Jobs..

    Oh goodness the crapton of stuff people could say about this guy. And the father of Unix is completely ignored.

  • what happened to final cut express basically what it is

  • what do you think of it now?

  • I downloaded the trial for Final cut pro x and honestly, I don't understand it. I thought Final cut was a powerful software that had really cool effects. and i couldn't even do motion tracking or a decent muzzle flash. i couldn't even delete a clip.

  • FinalCutKing is mexican ??? wowwwww u serious ??????? man que buena onda ! eres el mejor !! que orgullo !! eres cabron !!!!!

  • Mine crashes every 10 seconds anyone no how I can stop it

  • @sutol226 upgrade your hardware

  • @TheRanger112 There should be but not anytime soon. Apple has announced that FCP11 WILL have multi cam editing though and should bring back a lot of the old interface but for now, those of us whom were stupid and uninstalled FCP7 upon the install of FCPX are screwed. I will personally stick to this program for my work but only because I'm a die hard Final Cut nerd.

  • Do you still use FCP7 or did you switch to FCPX?

  • Excellent review. FCP X is the worst. All those features they advertise about auto color correction and auto this and that. basically it is exactly for the beginner. similar to iMovie. for those who do not edit or just learning it is perfect. Simply because it gives you a basic program, but with stupid pre-sets. not a good program to use if you want to do professional work. once you select a pre set. a professional wants the ability to tweak it. FCP X will be dead anyway in a yr.

  • I hope nobody is listing to this guy!

  • @Spamgiveme i hope you are because if you aren't, you might as well quit professionalism and cut videos for your family get togethers

  • :( miss final cut 7 !! ;'( cant believe i removed it when i install final cut x :(

  • @tony609 i did the same thing and i can't get 7 back

  • @tony609 I have a solution to your problem, use premiere.

    You don't have to render with premiere but it has the traditional style

  • My observation, FCP Pro for REAL Pros, for me FCP X is cool cuz I never used the prior FCP products therefore for people that never used FCP then FCP X rocks for those who never used prior FCP products...

  • hello...

  • A Mexican talkin "super white", you don't see that everyday lol.

  • So do you know if theres a Final Cut Pro 11 soon?

  • @wonderwall135 wow fail on my part.. i must of been looking at something else

  • Yeah you right I buy few months final cut x and dint have what I was looking for as you said I stay with FCP 7 I just think that apple fail with this software complete !

  • can you edit a feature film with fcp x some people say is not posible

  • dang i just bought it.

    

  • this video was uploaded almost a year ago, still same thoughts on final cut x?

  • @matrixfreak444 Do you understand how time works? It hasn't even been 6 months.

  • I agree. I watched an experienced apple tutor working on this product taking 5 times longer to do basic stuff than FCP7. I've been told that eventually everyone will go the FCPX way but it feels like swapping technical lego for duplo.

  • You took almost 5 minutes to say that "you don't like the new merger of iMovie and Finalcut". This is the least succinct movie I have ever seen.

  • How do you get your videos to look so nice? I've watched your tutorial on the color contrasting for the "film look" but I can't get ANY of my videos to look like this.

  • @DualShock1080P What type of camera are you using because Zach uses a really nice professional HD camera

  • @iTangentTV I use a crappy little JVC home camera and I don't expect it to be as good of a quality as Zach's videos but I would think there would be a way to make it look nicer than it does. I hope to get a better camera soon.

  • @DualShock1080P I know it seems surprising but a camera makes a lot of difference. If you start with a crappy camera it's really hard to make that footage look good. Is the camera HD? Yeah I would say the best idea is to try and invest in a better camera if you can.

  • @iTangentTV No its not HD. I've been looking at a few different ones though. Its going to be a while before I get one but I figured I could get better quality than I am and all I'm getting are these hideous colors.

  • @DualShock1080P yeah HD makes a hell of a difference it's amazing. We started out even with an flip HD camera and it was really surprising how better the quality was. I'm not really sure about those colors though we don't color correct much with out stuff so I'm not the person you want to be talking to. A lot of newer editing software though is made for HD camera footage so that might be a reason

  • @iTangentTV The particular camera that I'm looking at is the one on FCK's Website under Film Gear and it's $3,000 dollars. Being an unemployed 14 year old doesn't help either.

  • @DualShock1080P Haha we know how you feel man we're using a camera that's 400 bucks being unemployed 17 year olds doesn't help much either haha. But good luck with your search and good luck with your filming

  • @iTangentTV Thanks you too!

  • how did u customize your name thing next to your subscribe button ???? AND how do u put vids on the end on the video ON FINAL CUT PRO X (10) ?????

  • @15liulj123 It's a program called Motion 5 you make titles and then you can export to Final Cut or iMovie and apply them there.

  • They need to keep making studio, screw final cut x. ahh im so pissed they had to make this change!

  • Hey Zach, you should check out Premiere Pro Cs5.5 because it's like FCP7 and FCPX mixed. And the biggest deal for me is that it is 64-bit.

    MACMAN0978

  • I got my refund, by the way. They gave the money back to my VISA card within a day or so of my complaint, then about 3 months later they removed it from my downloads in the app store.

  • iMOVIE ON STERIODS

  • You did not say why it is so bad? Multi-cam function missing ? That's it?

  • i honestly don't think FCP X is the best but i was doing stuff on iMovie and wanted to get into semi serious editing and i did not have the £600 or i think it is $900 i don't know i am from the UK but i did not have the cash for that and i think it is worth it for beginner editors and for me just the keying is worth it for me cos you can do so much with that even if it is not the best way of doing an effect keying can still work also because i can get motion i think it is good for the price.

  • stupid vid

  • Comment removed

  • IM CONFUSED..Who's GIVING BIRTH TO WHO?

  • Does it really matter what you use..... A long as you det a good final product.... Thats all that matters.

    You have many many features in 10.. i never bought 7 im on 6 still so never wasted money...

  • @carlmb1 the difference is professional to consumer

    

  • It has 4 star now

  • FInal cut x is garbage- F ing imovie with some bells and whistles

  • 0:00-4:45 Basic Idea= FCX IS A PIECE OF SHIT

  • @thefunkyhomosapien91 YESSSS!!! Ugh!!!!

  • @thefunkyhomosapien91 Plus Apple is no longer offering tech support for the old FCP and FCE!

  • So whats the best Final Cut i could buy?, im new to the whole apple thing

  • @SamHain1031666 Final Cut 7

  • It should've been called iMovie PRO. Coz really it's like iMovie with steroids.

  • sony vegas baby!!!

  • YOU ARE SO CUTE(=

  • all you really say in this video is you don't like it but you don't really go into why other than no multi cam editing? that doesn't back up why you say you don't like it, in your other videos you make you need to back up what you say, not just say.. i don't like it.

  • @vantrio amazon. ebay.... btw final cut x is good. dont listen to him

  • how can i download final cut  for free i try and try it wont open i have final cut but it has an x on it it wont let me i have mac 27 inch comp i want to know how to use it final cut plz thanks

  • it really does take a bit to learn where and how to use this new tool...

  • Cool story bro.

  • How did you make this video in good quality with macro in the background? Is there any way to do that in FCP or Motion?

  • should i get adobe premium production?

  • @cobby001 no

  • @cobby001 I think you've just missed the boat on Adobe's half price offer, unfortunately!

  • @cobby001 offcourse .. i use adobe .. and it rocks ... adobe premiere for the win

  • Comment removed

  • @cobby001 yes...yess you should :)

  • @cobby001 No. Final Cut Pro X is superior in my opinion.

  • Comment removed

  • hes killing his macbook D:

  • Looks like FinalCutKing will be changing his name to AvidKing.

  • What camera are you shooting with and what are your settings?

  • What mixer is that?

  • apple announced that they are releasing an update for final cut x that fixes multicam and a few other things. i was just wondering if that changes your opinion at all on it

  • ha there are no consumer comments in the app store! Apple must have removed them!

  • final cut X is a piece of shit, the only good thing it has is that you dont have to render everytime you do sth

  • It amazes me that You are literately the only person who I have reviewed Final Cut Pro X that has NOT called it Final Cut and pronounced the letter X in the alphabet instead of calling it Final Cut Pro 10.

  • saying final cut X is "imovie" is a completely ignorant statement

  • @eyeofinfinity no he's completely right. Its just consumer software.

  • @gussy24 consumer software isnt $300.... it looks like imovie because the color scheme is easier on the eyes... consumers dont color correct, need the ability to sync separate recorded audio, or export as xml...

  • no

  • @gussy24 how can you not agree? it is not consumer, its prosumer...

  • @eyeofinfinity well people who prosume don't like it so therefore must be consumer seeing as the 'pro's don't want it

  • @gussy24 umm you can speak for all prosumers? and apple had a team of professional editors come to their headquarters and use it before it was released... and they had god things to say about it... the problem is people dont like change... saying final cut 10 isnt pro is like saying final cut 7 isnt pro, because final cut 7 wasnt even a 64bit program

  • @eyeofinfinity well i can speak on behalf of a london editing company. 7 is pro and it doesn't need to be 64bit to be pro.

  • @gussy24 what is so un-professional about 10?

  • @eyeofinfinity stupid features like magnetic time lines and things that collapse. stop being a fanboy.

  • @gussy24 oh, because good features are un pro... and if i was a apple fanboy my main computer wouldnt be a pc... i just like good software

  • @eyeofinfinity doesnt play out to tape deck, doesnt allow external monitors etc. This spoof /watch?v=pliT0itT5rc&feature=r­elated explains it pretty well.

  • @coppersn4ke tape needs to die. its expensive and digital is superior. some tape decks are supported btw.... why would they limit it? because digital is the way to go. and external monitoring is now supported from what i have heard

  • @eyeofinfinity Ha! Try transferring a full length feature film raw footage at 4k to a colour correction production house over the internet or transferring it onto Hard drives take you a month unless you have 100gb/s download/upload or a secret usb 10.0 that hasnt been released. also try multicamera editing live in final cut X total joke. btw tapes are much cheaper in the long run then having to but 100s of hard drives esp in distribution perspective. and dvds/ blue ray dont have enough space.

  • @coppersn4ke so basically the people who shot movies on the RED one or the epic are idiots? because it seems to be rather popular.

  • @eyeofinfinity we are talking post production here not filming besides 35mm is better if you can afford it which is a big if. RED camera is good but yeah has nothing to do with post production. once its on the computer its on the computer (unless you do it old school style). Almost every single placed use digi tapes. To not support them literally cuts off the majority of post production and distribution places in the world.

    How do i know this well be i work in the industry.

  • @eyeofinfinity and as for external monitors it only supports secondary screens not external broadcast monitors (the big rear projection "old school" ones). Which really is pointless since now u cant do colour correction since LCDs etc dont display true colour. therefore its not suitable for broadcasters. It should be renamed imovie pro not FCPX

  • @coppersn4ke imovie pro is a ridiculous statement. imovie is a free software. final cut is still developing, give it time

  • @eyeofinfinity i dont think you get it. The amount they took out of it makes it totally redundant. they had an awesome production before. this is an awesome spoof of it /watch?v=pliT0itT5rc&feature=r­elated

    highlights a lot of the issues.

    its not developing its undeveloped. I dont understand where youre coming from when you say that yet clearly they did away with EVERYTHING that justified even putting the PRO in final cut. instead on imoviepro maybe final cut basic or something like that.

  • @eyeofinfinity so take out compatibility with older projects and then you say give it time. You're a twat.

  • @SenorCajones it a whole new final cut.....

  • @vantrio Maybe Torrent?

  • There are no lock buttons for the sequences in final cut pro x. This feature is great in the previous Final Cut Pro versions.

  • Check Out Camera Mount Clamp dot com

  • What are your thoughts today about FCPX, now when Apple have updated it?

  • What amazed me, was the fact that he knew all about the workings of Final Cut 10 within 24 hours of seeing it, that is what I call a quick learner. I wish I had that ability I would buy all the software ie Adobe, Avid etc with the knowledge that in less than a week I could use them all, therefore have no editing problems at all.

  • Okay for you and other schooled pros I totally agree, however, for me coming from Pinnacle Pro Studio this is an absolute natural upgrade for me and will make my job of editing my family vacation videos and school play videos SO much easier!!! I think I might even be able to make some half way decent commercials or short promo videos. But for large projects??? I am not sure this is the program.

  • @BigCrawlcom I completely agree! It's a great program for editing vlogs and vacation videos, but television programs and short films? Not going to happen. Feature films? Please.

  • @AXLEGREASEframeset The Social Network was edited on Final Cut... Also, Apple didn't make Final Cut Pro. They only made Final Cut Pro X. Everything before it was made by Macromedia, which has since been bought by Adobe.

  • @BMAnnArbor Macromedia made Final Cut Pro...back in 1999. It's since been part of Apple's R & D department.

  • @fregrence5 just get Premiere.

  • I agree. I'm a pro user, working in commercial and visual fx industry since 2003. This software is not for pro, just a nice toy with some advanced features. Sooooo bad.

  • fuckkkkk! I just bought Mac, and final cut pro 7 isn out no more!:O fuck! should i buy the new version and upgrade it when apple publishes a new and better update or should i wait till the old version comes back?

  • Does anyone know where I could buy Final Cut Pro 7? Not Final cut Studio, just 7
