Is Final Cut Pro better than iMovie?

Yes, Very Different.

Final cut pro is more expensive because it is more professional.

Final cut Pro is a more professional version of iMovie. It has all of the features of iMovie and then some. iMovie is 300 bucks cheaper and for standard film editors. I recommend it.

Imovie is not a pro version. It's a free bundled consumer version. Where do you get $300? Are you confusing "imovie" with "final cut express."

To answer the original question: Final Cut Pro is a professional editing software program. It's is exponentially more powerful than iMovie, which is great for home use and simple projects. Is it better? It depends on your needs and capability. iMovie is simple, but limiting in what it can do. For complicated/long projects it would be frustrating. FCP takes time to learn, but can handle the most complex jobs.

Thanks, Shane - I have to clean all this Gatorade off of my Cinema display now! LOL.

edit: Now that my screen is clean, I'm almost certain that this is a case of someone (guess who) creating a user account to post questions that he 'solves' himself using another account. LOL.

Message was edited by someone who spit Gatorade at his own screen because he was laughing so d@mn hard

Yeah, if you look at the posts by KJ, they are all solved by Matt. Hmm...

Why is there a $100,000 difference?

Final cut Pro is a more professional version of iMovie.

While both can be used to ingest, edit and output video, that's where the similarities end.

FCP is a professional and scalable video editing application and is not a better version of iMovie.

David...he's a troll. Didn't you read all our comments?

I wonder when this will be deleted? I and several other reported it. The man doesn't deserve the points.

And needs to be ban-ed.
