How to upgrade from FCP 7...

"This is how you upgrade from FCP7. Get @adobe premiere CS5.5 and do this. Worked for me. Easy transition http://yfrog.com/kgy7rp"

agreed.

Why would you change from fcp to premiere

 

[Bentley@DOSMedia]

Well one of the biggest reasons would be 64 bit. FCP 7 is only 32 bit and can only use 4 gigs of RAM (if that). So speed for one.

Many people are slowly thinking of making the switch, but still holding on for hope that the first FCP X upgrade will actually put the P back in FCP.

because premiere can communicate and is compatible with so many other applications

I might actually start using avid. Some of their systems and hardware are very sweet. Unfortunately Avid 5.5 is still 32 bit, but they said their next release will be 64 bit, which is good to hear. Im going to try it and see what i think and if they update it and dont mess it up, I may stick with it.

Not only that but Media Composer 5.5 ($2,300 program) is only $300 for students! Man I love getting all the academic software magazines.
