Final Cut: the greatest digital editing tool ever


Final Cut Express is incredible, simple as that. When you start taking classes for film, this is the program that is used almost all the time. Final Cut Pro is a step above Express, but it is basically the same thing, and it cost a lot less. I love this program, it has everything I need to put together a movie and it's pretty easy to use. I put a screen shot up just to show what it looks like when you are cutting a movie together. Some people get confused because of the two screens, but basically you have on screen for viewing the clips you uploaded, and another screen to play your movie as it is cut together down below. It will upload DV, MiniDV, and Hard Drive cameras. Simple uploading needs a firewire cable. If you have a hard drive camera, like the JVC Everio shown below, you connect using a USB cable, and select Log and Transfer, which allows you to pick and choose which files to upload. As I said, awesome program, and if you are willing to make the commitment to getting this program, you will find that you can basically do anything you want with video.
