Final Cut on PC?
Hi. I’d like to learn how to work with Final Cut Pro, but I have only PC (no Mac). Is there some way how to use Final Cut Pro on PC? Thanks for the answers!

What a pity. I think I heard about some PC version of Final Cut, but maybe it was only a gossip.

Short answer: no. There are emulation products which might work for some things but you’ll lose a lot of functionality. Your best bet is to buy a used or refurb Mac.
You can still et great deals on iMacs from DMA

With an Intel iMac, you can get the best of both worlds, a great Mac that can also run Windows.

There are ways to run Mac OSX on a PC, which could then in turn run FCP. If you are asking how to run FCP on Microsoft Windows, you can’t and never will.

Yes, of course you can run FC on a PC with a MacOSX emulator. In fact, you can do much more things with a PC, but hey, there are Mac fans who won’t tell you these stuff in here.
You can buy a decent PC half the price of a regular second hand Mac, which can run a Mac emulator and FC. I know many people using this technique, wait a sec, just do a google search.
Just sold my Mac, I only miss FCP, nothing else. So lets emulate it 🙂 -
If you install mac OSX on your PC, You can run final cut. I don’t think it’s legal to do that though, you’d have to be careful, and make sure your PC has over the minimum system requirements to run Final Cut…
