Overview of Final Cut Pro
Final Cut Pro is a professional non-linear editing system developed by Apple Inc. that has found popularity among independent filmmakers and is beginning to make inroads with Hollywood film editors who traditionally use Avid Technology's Media Composer. The program has the ability to edit many digital formats including DV, HDV, P2 MXF (DVCProHD), XDCAM, 2K, and IMAX film formats. The system is only available for Mac OS X version 10.4.9 or later, and is a module of the Final Cut Studio product.

More Information on Final Cut Pro
Companies using Final Cut Pro are constantly sharing large amounts of data. Because of this, a key component of an efficient Final Cut installation is a
shared storage server. Without a shared storage server, files need to be transferred between workstations when more than one video editor works on a project. This opens up the possibility of overwriting one another's changes, and increases the complexity and time involved to complete a video project. In addition, backing up projects is more difficult because each workstation contains critical files that must be archived.
To streamline Final Cut Pro's workflow, successful video production companies take advantage of the benefits of a
shared storage server. Video editors simply edit files directly from the shared server, and backups are centralized on the server. Multiple editors can work on the same project without transferring files between workstations, and changes won't be overridden when the files are locked for editing on the server.
