Help me to understand the differences between the software products. It also helped me to understand Final Cut and how it compares not just to iMovie but also to Adobe Premiere Elements.

I am learning iMovie and I have been studing the iMovie to Final Cut Pro tutorial so that I will know when or if I need to upgrade. This tutorial along with the others that I have studied are superior to anything that I have ever had avaialbel to me previously. I will use MacProVideo anytime that I can and recommend that you try their tutorials. George

It was a delight to me to get to know this Switcher's Guide, of course just as I am considering switching. It gives a detailed insight in the main differences and common ground, and serves it all with a decent sense of humor. Great Guide!

Description

If you're using iMovie to edit your videos, you're probably wondering if Final Cut Pro has more to offer. iMovie is limited, and only allows you to do basic video edits, but with Final Cut Pro, the sky is the limit to your video editing adventures.

However, with all of it's extra features and editing functions, Final Cut Pro can be complex, intimidating, and hard to use. But it doesn't have to be that way ... with a few tips and tricks under your belt, you'll find it easy to switch your video editing workflow from iMovie to Final Cut Pro.

In this FREE tutorial program, Michael Wohl (One Of Final Cut Pro's original designers) compares the key features of iMovie and Final Cut Pro. Along the way you'll learn more than just the fundamentals of video editing, you'll also learn advanced concepts such as using speed and motion effects, as well as video compositing!
