As someone who started editing videos in the early 2010s when Final Cut Pro X was a beta and Final Cut Pro 7 was extremely expensive, I think the age of charging for video editing software is already over. FCP X was only $300. These days you can use DaVinci Resolve for free. Plenty of very good videos by independent creators on YouTube or TikTok are produced without spending a single cent on video editing software. I think Apple will regret this pricing decision and make the software free (as in beer) in a few years' time. I mean I paid for iWork 09 and iLife 09 and I was livid when Apple made them free but still I think that's the trend of where things are going.
