Final Cut Studio 3 Released!

In a highly-anticipated move, Apple released the latest iteration of their industry-standard, flagship video editing suite, Final Cut Studio. Like many others, I waited with baited breath for this version to release.

There are reportedly over 100 new features, but I am very excited about the price: $999.00. That's $300.00 less than the previous version!

Oddly, I picked up a copy of Final Cut Studio version 1 not too long ago. The only thing that I really used so far was Motion. I was hesitant to learn it, since I was going to upgrade to version 3 when it came out. Now, I will just hold on until I get the new version.

Finishing PARALLAX is still the primary activity for me. By the time it releases, I should have enough put away to get Final Cut Studio 3.

  1. How much did FCS 1 Cost you? You can get the FCS3 upgrade for like $300 I think if i read correctly on the forums.

  2. It was "gifted" to me, but it turns out that it is not eligible for the upgrade. I can get the educational version (since I will be eligible), but it costs $899.00 and is not upgradeable. Retail is $999.00, so I'm going that route.

    Thanks for commenting!
