$5 a month or $50 a year for Logic or Final Cut is really reasonable to me. If you figure Final Cut on the Mac is $300 divide that by 50 and you get 6 years for the same cost.

I’m hoping with a subscription model Apple will release more and bigger updates for the two apps. It’s been a while since Final Cut got a major update. Since the last one a lot has changed in the video editing world and they have started to fall behind.

@ChrisLawley My question is if you aren’t familiar with FCP and want to get into video editing on an iPad, how does $50/year complete with DiVinci Resolve (free to start, $100 for everything) or Lumafusion ($30)?

@johninfante In that case I would say spend $5 and see if it’s worth it. I also wouldn’t be surprised if there is a free trial like there is on the Mac.

@ChrisLawley Fine print says one month free trial. I guess that makes sense, give it a couple months on each and you are out a total of $35 over 6 months or so to find which one works for you before committing. That seems fair.

@johninfante Yeah totally! Also if your going to spend more than 6 months using it that is probably because you are working on multiple projects and making some money from them. I know when I started off I used the trial to learn it and then bought it and then started making money from the projects I produced with it.

To me, and I know this isn’t everyone, but for me Final Cut pays for itself.
