FCP Pro 7 Academic
I am sure this has been addressed, but I could not find it. What are the differences from the Standard and Academic versions of FCP Pro 7?

You were only supposed to use Academic for school projects.

Well that part I already knew. My question was what is the difference between the 2 programs?

That was it.

Nothing. They are identical in every way.
Difference is in the licensing. Academic can’t be used to generate a profit (only for educational purposes), and isn’t eligible for upgrade pricing. That last part is moot, as there is to upgrade.

Thanks. I teach video production and we have been using PC’s and Sony Vegas to edit, but as we are now upgrading we thought that we would be on board with the majority of creative people and switch to Macs and FCP. Hence the question.

Don’t teach FCP 7. It’s 4 years old, and was discontinued two years ago. Teach Adobe Premiere Pro or Avid…FCP-X possibly. FCP 7 is dead.

Not to contradict Shane, but to re-phrase what he said:
Don’t teach editing on FCP7. Teach EDITING. Do it in as platform-agnostic a way as possible, and your students will have skills that never go out of style.

Well, budgeting is a problem so when we saw an open box FCP Pro7 Academic for $350 it sparked interest.
