Final Cut Pro X - Apple's latest pro-level video editor

• Pros
  64-bit and multicore-CPU support for speedier performance. Friendlier interface. Compound clips. Auditions for alternative clips. Magnetic trackless timeline. Background processing. Good organization tools—ratings, tagging, auto analysis for faces, scenes, and stabilization.
  
  
  
• Cons Can't import projects from previous Final Cut versions. No multicam input. Limited video display support. Third-party plugins have to be updated for the new code. Custom export settings require separate Compressor app.
  
  
• Bottom Line
  Apple has built a completely new, faster, cleaner, and more intuitive digital video editing package. While some professionals may lament its lack of backward compatibility, we predict they'll eventually be won over by significant speed and usability advances. Meanwhile, prosumer video enthusiasts get a less daunting upgrade path to a pro-level Mac editor.
