Many users have never given a second thought to using FCPX, but now it’s turning into a very viable option.įCPX is available for $299.99 in the App Store for Mac users.

That year, the BP Oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and WikiLeaks dominated news headlines. Let’s take a look at how video production and other NLEs have changed since.įive years ago, Apple released 7.0.3 - the final update to Final Cut Pro 7.
