The options are still basically what they were five years ago \u2014 Apple, Avid,<\/strong> and Adobe<\/strong>. But while\u00a0that hasn’t changed, other things have.<\/p>\n Apple dropped the FCPX<\/strong> launch so spectacularly it is still embedded in the popular consciousness (even though FCPX has come a long way since then). Adobe is freaking people out with their Cloud<\/strong> move. And Media Composer<\/strong> is chugging along, (possibly with company-wide financial difficulties), but is still seen by many as the only choice for large institution-sized outfits.<\/p>\n There have been many discussions online and off in the last two years about the merits of Final Cut Pro X<\/strong> versus other video editing applications.<\/strong> \u00a0This post is not intended to prove which video editing system<\/strong> is the best, but rather look at considerations of each and how it may affect your choice of\u00a0primary\u00a0application.<\/p>\n So, what is an editor to do?<\/p>\n Well my first thought would be to download the free trial of each app, cut something on it, and see how you go.<\/strong> Googling articles like this one probably won’t supply you with the information you’re really after \u2014 what’s it like to actually use the video editing program?<\/strong> However, articles like this one can supply you with other useful information and resources, so do keep reading!<\/p>\n![\"Which](\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/NLE-SIDE-BY-SIDE.jpg\" "\\"Which")
