2. Final Cut Pro
Final Cut Pro is a non-linear video editing software that was
developed by Macromedia Inc. and later, Apple Inc. The
software allows users to log and transfer videos onto a hard
drive, either external or internal, where it can be edited,
processed, and output into a wide variety of formats.
Since the early 2000’s, Final Cut Pro has developed a large
and constantly expanding user base, particularly popular
with video hobbyists and independent film makers. The
software has also become increasingly popular with
television and film editors, who have traditionally preferred
the use of Avid Technology’s Media Composer.

Final Cut Pro made up 49% of
the US professional editing
market, with Avid at 22%.
We decided to use Final Cut
Pro as it was effective, easy to
use software, which gave our
film a professional finish.
