Dear Paul, till date - I have been using Jing for my basic video editing.
Is Final Cut pro, better and easier than Jing ?
Regards, Puneet

"Final Cut Pro does not make a version for Windows."
I'm intered to use this video editing tool however it was mentioned that there is no version for Windows. Do you have any idea if it is possible that they can come up with the same software for windows? Thanks

On the various questions:
- I've never used Jing, so I can't compare it directly. But Final Cut Pro is very popular with professional videographers and very rich in features. If you go through our tutorial, it's also not that hard to learn the basics.
- Final Cut Pro only works on Mac computers, not Windows/PC machines. Adobe Premiere is probably the most comparable video editing program for Windows computers.
