THIS DAY IN APPLE HISTORY -- FINAL CUT PRO Debuts

(From AppleMatters.com -- By Chris Seibold)

Video effects software had been around for some time, as had video editing and video composting software. What was lacking was an integrated package for these three different functions.

That lack disappeared when APPLE introduced FINAL CUT PRO on April 25th, 1999.

Immediately outpacing the competition, mainly AVID and ADOBE PREMIERE, APPLE took the low cost video editing software market by storm.

Not surprising, since while the $999 cost may seem high to the home user, it was a fraction of what the traditional tools would set a production house back.
