Purchasing FCP X
Hello,
I’m a tv/online media producer looking to learn Final Cut. My question is: Is it worth purchasing and learning FCP X or should I go with a prior version. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank you,

You can’t go with a prior version. Apple pulled FCS2009 from all the VARs/vendors as well as their online store of course.
I personally believe FCPX is worth learning. It’s not what I’d use to start a business right now. At $400 (Motion and Compressor including), it’s worth investigating while you use Avid or Premiere if you’re making an NLE purchase for a business.

Download the demos of Avid/Premiere. Go to an Apple Store and try X. Pick the one you like the most.
If you’re brand new to editing you’ll likely find X to be the easiest to learn of the 3. Then it really comes down to what you need it to do.
