Final Cut Pro

Final Cut Pro is a non-linear editing system created by Apple Computer that allows users to edit video. The latest releases are for Mac OS X only. Since the early 2000's, it has come to be accepted as a high-end professional editorial tool and has become a competitor to the previously main force in the industry, Avid. Currently, Final Cut has a larger user base than Avid: however, Avid has strong support in realtime and high-end production that will not soon be eroded.

Used on Macintosh computers, it is a resolution-independent software editing front-end to a user-configurable hardware architecture. It can be used to edit material ranging from FireWire-attached MiniDV video from a consumer digital video camera in the home environment to High-Definition (HD) material in a full professional studio environment. The software loads the video onto the Mac, where it can be edited and processed.
