Final Cut Pro was used to edit big-budget films like X-Men Origins: Wolverine, 500 Days of Summer, and The Social Network - which won an Oscar for Best Editing.Įven though Hollywood’s love of Final Cut Pro has had its ups and downs, it has remained a staple for amateur filmmakers and self-employed editors for over two decades. Initially, it was intended for hobbyists and independent filmmakers, but over the next decade, Hollywood took notice. Final Cut Pro was a game-changer for the industry, with its non-traditional, non-linear editing style. Apple debuted its first editing software, Final Cut Pro, in 1999.
