Final Cut Studio is a professional video and audio production
suite for
Mac OS X from
Apple Inc., and a direct competitor to
Avid Media Composer in the high-end movie production industry. The suite was discontinued in 2011, and three of its primary applications -
Final Cut Pro X,
Motion, and
Compressor - continue to be developed and were made available as separate applications for purchase through the
Mac App Store. The legacy boxed version of Final Cut Studio is now only available to purchase through Apple's 1-800 number, therefore not online or in Apple Stores.
