Final Cut Pro is a non-linear video editing software developed by Macromedia Inc. and then Apple Inc. The most recent version, Final Cut Pro X, runs on Mac personal computers powered by OS X version 10.6.7 or later and using Intel processors. The software allows users to log and transfer video onto a hard drive (internal or external), where it can be edited, processed, and output to a wide variety of formats.
Since the early 2000s, Final Cut Pro has developed a large and expanding user base, mainly video hobbyists and independent filmmakers. It had also made inroads with film and television editors who have traditionally used Avid Technology's Media Composer. According to a 2007 SCRI study, Final Cut Pro made up 49% of the US professional editing market, with Avid at 22%. A published survey in 2008 by the American Cinema Editors Guild placed their users at 21% FCP (and growing from previous surveys of this group), while all others were still on an Avid system of some kind.
Final Cut Pro provides non-linear, non-destructive editing of any QuickTime compatible video format including DV, HDV, P2 MXF (DVCProHD), XDCAM (via plug-in), and 2K film formats. It supports a number of simultaneously composited video tracks (limited mainly by video format and hardware capability); up to 99 audio tracks; multi-camera editing for combining video from multiple camera sources; as well as standard ripple, roll, slip, slide, scrub, razor blade and time remapping edit functions. It comes with a range of video transitions and a range of video and audio filters such as keying tools, mattes and vocal de-poppers and de-essers. It also has a manual 3-way color correction filter, videoscopes and a selection of generators, such as slugs, test cards and noise.
You take me away, to find a place
Where's your alliance lie? I know it's vague
Take me back to the last time
Take me back, alright
Take me back to the last time
You take me away
Let's go to the last time
Take me back to the last time
Remember the last time
Take me back to the last time
My stomachs turning now, my heart it aches
You've come to realize, we feel the same
Take me back to the last time
Take me back, alright
Take me back to the last time
You take me away
Let's go to the last time
Take me back to the last time
Remember the last time
Take me back to the last time
Cause you can't fight these feelings
You can't fight them away
Let's go to the last time
Take me back to the last time
You take me away, you take me away (take me away) (x4)
Let's go to the last time
Take me back to the last time
Remember the last time
Take me back to the last time
Cause you can't (can't, can't)
