Hi there,

Gee... "Enough features" ? Seems to me like it's a NEW FCP that you are going to get!!!. I placed my order after the product has been announced and I am looking forward to having my hands on it... Check apple site for demos about new features...

Sonner than expected? that is also good news... Will ther be bugs? Certainly but I do not care, Apple is usually good in communicating those and addressing the issues very fast... or at least faster than MS (which is what counts to me)... Good luck and tell us more once you upgrade!

Does anyone have link to a good final cut VS. adobe premiere comparison? Im trying to get a friend of mine to convert and this is a big issue for him.

Student Discount and FCP vs Premiere

From what i have read on this post, many people do not seem to understand that there are two different student discounts for a full copy of FCP. There is the individual purchase which is $499 and then there is the institutional purchase which is $299. I was able to place an order for FCP4.0 with the institutional price through my student store, the only thing wrong with doing that is that they have to charge me shipping to send it from the student store to my house.

Now, as far as the FCP vs. Premiere, i would suggest picking up the special edition macworld magazine which is focused just on the digital hub. I believe that they cover premiere, Avid DV express, Final Cut Pro 3, and Final Cut Express.

In my own opinion in using both Premiere and FCP, premiere is far more buggy than FCP and is just on the lower end with less features and such.

I hope this helps out.
