• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Final cut studio

There is no Final Cut Studio 3. Are you referring perhaps to the package released in July 2009 (which was just called "Final Cut Studio") which consists of FCP 7, DVD Studio Pro 4, etc?

Or are you referring to the Final Cut Pro 3, released in 2001?

If the former, check Lynda.com for a starting point. If the latter, check the Smithsonian Institution.

There is indeed a Final Cut Studio 3, although it doesn't have the 3 on the package. It includes Final Cut Pro 7. Lynda.com and the Apple Training books by Peach Pit Press got me certified in FCP 7, which is superior to Final Cut X at present.

Is that the last version before they stripped down Final Cut to this latest thing that sorta looks like iMovie '11? :|

Yes, it's the last real version of FCP.

I'm loving how the pro video editing community has had to eat their words on FCPX. It's now more popular than ever.

As a publishing pro, I saw this exact same phenomenon happen when Adobe brought out InDesign and killed Pagemaker. Oh the wailing and gnashing of teeth. :)

Thank you. I was gifted a box set of Final Cut Pro 6, and it is a huge learning curve for me to tackle after using only iMovie '11 and earlier for five+ years. :Confused:
