It also said that Final Cut Pro is growing twice as fast as its competitors, and said that Adobe and Avid are &#8220;in a race for second place.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you&#8217;re half-way technical, a developer, an iMovie user or filmmaker, you should read this post.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Developers need to take notice how much cool &amp; awesome features were built into this that are all available to you guys via Xcode.<\/li>\n<li>Filmmakers need to look at the features and start saving up to buy a copy today. Even if you love Avid, $299 is what you spend on Hard Drives and mini DV tapes each month so just buy it and play around. You will fall in love.<\/li>\n<li>iMovie users, save your pennies and ditch iMovie. After 4 hours in Final Cut Pro, you&#8217;ll never want to go back to iMovie. If you have kids, you&#8217;re going to want to buy this. I wouldn&#8217;t recommend FCP to anyone before because, at $999, you&#8217;d either pirate it or not buy it at all. At $299, one-click via the App Store, it&#8217;s expensive but is the tool movie houses are using to make blockbuster pictures.
