Rating:  - Mixed emotions.....
This version is deficient of many important abilities that decent video would need in the same way as FC 2 suite is packed with some programs and utilities majority of video don't need at all. Unfortunately there's no normality, no firm middle ground. I think Apple has to determine who is dedicated audience for the product.
Rating:  - great program
i am a beginning film student at a school in santa monica, ca. let me tell you, as one as computer ILLITERATE as i am, final cut pro was so easy to learn. i was amazed at all the stuff it has--color correcting, sound/audio level adusting, effects, etc. i am now gioing intio my 3rd quarter and am looking forward to working with this again. i would not use any other post production software.
Rating: - Just as good as FC HD and better than iMovie
I've actually downgraded from Final Cut HD because when I bought that software it didn't work with my computer and then Apple couldn't fix so I was out $300.

Rating: - TOTALLY loving it (but am prepared for learning curve).
I had read a lot of reviews (here and elsewhere) warning of Final Cut's massive learning curve, and I do believe that helped soften the blow when I first tried this program. Because there definitely is a learning curve--this is far more complex than iMovie. But, the good news is, it's not beyond the newbie's reach!
I'm such a newbie with anything video, it's pitiful. I have only made two or three small movies in iMovie, and they weren't very sophisticated. I mostly just tinkered around. ... Read More
Rating: - Can't live without Final Cut Express HD
Final Cut Express HD is awesome. But don't try to learn how to use FCE on your own - buy a book such as Final Cut Express for Dummies and spend some time working through the concepts. I had previously used Adobe Premiere, so making the switch to FCE was not quite the hurdle that is going to be for others. If you make the jump from iMovie, do realize you will need to spend a lot of time learning how to use FCE.
If you are going to edit simple home movies, probably stick with iMovie. iMovie ... Read More
