As an overall consensus of the Final Cut Studio 2 Retail program release, the overall customer reaction has pointed to the fact that, even though this program has exceeded all expectations, there still seems to be a few things that some of the older programs just seem to do better. For example, when it comes to actual video editing, them most customers have been referring to Avid, another Macintosh program designed years ago to provide video editing, which has since been updated to compensate for the digital technology movement. However, even though this is the case, the majority of customers feel like having both Final Cut Studio 2 Retail and Avid working together should come highly recommended.
Our verdict:
The Final Cut Studio 2 Retail program is worth every single penny that Apple is selling if for! Even though Avid seems to have become a general favorite, we believe that the applications being offered on the Final Cut Studio 2 Retail program super exceed all that Avid has to offer, x 10! For example, Avid does not include applications specifically designed to bring your digital home videos into the High Definition quality that has come to be expected of all artists, that is, not as efficiently, any way. This is one of the main reasons we have come to recommend the Final Cut Studio 2 Retail program.
However, if you remain absolutely “avid” in the maintain of your software loyalty, we also recommend that you look into the necessary plug-ins in order to upgrade your videos to HD quality, even though the overall professional look will not compare (in our opinion).

Capable of smoothing out transitional pieces of film and adding a rather impressive sense of high definition quality to the final product, the Final Cut Express 4 software aims to completely blow all of its predecessors out of the water. Improving on the already widely used digital enhancement applications consistent within the Final Cut Express series, the fourth edition of this digital video editing software contains applications suitable for trimming scenes, merging them with high quality visual effects, transitional fading and expanding wherever the artist sees fit, offering a rather outstanding freedom to the creative mind behind the project at hand.
Another incredible feature that the Final Cut Express 4 program holds is its ability to encode and decode High definition / Blu – Ray quality digital videos. This ability is second to none, as it has the potential of overlaying old home videos, as well as your most recent works, with all of the components needed to display your work in HD format, giving your project an extra push into the professional world. Along with the HD vs. SD (standard definition) and the Final Cut Express 4 program’s transitional editing application, it also offers the artist the chance to create CGI, eliminating any and all creative boundaries.

Both Macintosh and Microsoft users have come to an agreement concerning the Final Cut Express 4 program, that is, according to our research of the posted customer reviews. All of the posted customer observations suggest that the Final Cut Express 4 program completely exceeds all expectations in regard to the enhanced listing of basic editorial applications, as well as all of the High Definition / Blu – Ray quality encoder and decoder applications. Both of these combined seem to make a digital video editorial product that millions of video editors have come to enjoy.
Now, based on our own research of the Final Cut Express 4 product, we have come to agree with all of the raving customer reviews that have been posted. The program is extremely easy to use, even for those who have come to rely on Microsoft more than they have with Macintosh, especially for young novices. With each application featuring an easy to learn module, there is virtually no reason that any video editor, both experienced and inexperienced, could not, and should not, make use of this revolutionary program.
