Final Cut Pro- Don't think so mate

Having waited all night for Final Cut to download, had the usual problem with torrents, no serial number, un-mountable disc image and incredibly large application size, 43gbs!

Got round this with toast, serial crack and only installing the necessary programs from the studio package. Took a couple of hours to get it to install but got it working in the end.

This proved to be a pointless exercise and complete waste of time! Apart from the complicated interface, my computer simply doesn’t have the power to run the program whilst editing such large video files.

Read a few forums on trying to overcome the file sizes using imovie. Ended up downloading a free piece of software called streamclip, which cuts video and compresses them to a lower frame rate.

Again, need to leave to comp going over night to perform the transform, hopefully it will work tomorrow…
