Q&A: Do Mac’s come with Final Cut?

Question by Mel: Do Mac’s come with Final Cut?
3/7/09
I am doing a video for a club called Chic Tech and unfortunately it is due by 11:59 Wednesday night and I have had no time all week at school to work on it [plus my partner decided to keep the footage with her and she doesn’t know how to edit] because I had to edit my own video for film class, which is this by the way, http://vimeo.com/3518213, let me know what you guys think.

Anyways, I don’t have a mac at home and my friend said I could borrow hers tomorrow so I can start on the video…but I’m not sure if she understood me when I asked her if her mac came with Final Cut.

So my question is if macs come with final cut? And if not, where can I download it to her computer? Is there any free trials that let you edit then save the overall movie to a quicktime file?

Hi,

These are not free, just in case you are interesting 🙂

Here’s Adobe Premier pro CS4 it’s about $ 800, I think it is one of the best video editors.
