Q: Differences between Final Cut Studio 2 and 3 and Pro X
Hello all,
I've been using FCE 4 HD and I'm ready to upgrade to the Pro series and I was trained on FCP 5. So my question is what is the difference between FCP Studio 2 FCP Studio 3 and Final Cut Pro X ( which looks like imovie). I need to purchase very soon so please feedback is very helpful.
peace

FCP 7 will slowly be phased out. When an app can't keep up with current tech, it will be replaced. But, this being HOLLYWOOD, it will take a LONG time. Productions tend to hold onto things for a LONG time if they work. Even if they barely work. Not long ago I was editing on Avid Media Composer ABVB system...REALLY old. Talking 12 years old. Had to do tons of work arounds to get a few things working, but they used it.
FCP will be used for quite some time. But it is a dead product, so eventually it will go away.
