Final Cut
Final Cut[edit]
Final Cut or Final Cut Pro and its other names is a video editor that is exclusive to Macintosh computers and is said to be the best editor the OS has to offer. In a way, it's pretty much Apple's equivalent to Vegas Pro, containing most (if not all) of the same features. It's current version, Final Cut Pro X, was initially considered to be inferior to the previous version, Final Cut Pro 7, due to it's timeline feature that leads to difficulty moving clips, and it's frequent slow-down and crashing. Recent updates and improvements to the software made it much better to use (most notably version 10.3), and is ideal for Mac users making YouTube Poops. An advantage over the previous version is the price (Final Cut Pro 7 was $1000, Final Cut Pro X is $300.) Additionally, projects started in iMovie can be finished in Final Cut Pro for better control over the video. This was featured alongside Vegas Pro, Adobe Premiere and Windows Movie Maker on the thumbnail of Youchew Trading Card #76, recognizing its foundational importance in Youtube Poop.
