There’s always been rumblings that Apple could be losing interest in its pro market (remember Shake, anyone?), and the lack of a major update for over 30 months could be cause for concern. That’s a price which is very hard to beat for a very stable, feature-rich and versatile professional-level video editor, even though it may be starting to show its age due to a lack of a major revision or two.
It’s not certain how long this situation will last, but it’s been the case up to now. There’s also a definite upside to be in the Apple ecosystem: every single update to FCPX since 2011 have been free. You pay a one-off fee of $300 (£300), and you’re good to go. This isn’t an app you need to subscribe to in order to use. Speaking of price, this is definitely one thing FCPX has going for it. The link between the two apps is pretty much seamless and at $50 (£49), Motion is ridiculously affordable. If you’d like to create your own templates, effects or transitions, you can always get Motion - which is Apple’s own motion graphics tool.
Without these companies’ help, FCPX would definitely feel more outdated. Thankfully, companies like FX FactoryPro have stepped up to the plate with a dizzying list of additions you can add to your projects - for a price. Thankfully, third party companies have produced a plethora of filters and effects you can purchase and add to your projects (Image credit: Apple)
