<p>Hollywood, California. Lights, camera, action! From the movie capital of<br />
the world, comes First Cut - the ultimate high-speed tool to edit your own<br />
professional-quality movie within hours.</p>
<p>Not only is First Cut the fastest and most user-friendly DV Cutting Station<br />
in the universe but, at an introductory price of $149, Mac OS X users can<br />
afford to throw in the red carpet and popcorn for free.</p>
<p>Cecil B. DeMille, Steven Spielberg, Ridley Scott, Quentin Tarantino, Martin<br />
Scorsese . . . Just add your name to the list. Download First Cut and,<br />
within hours, your personal masterpiece is ready to premiere. Never has it<br />
been so easy to make your own movies thanks to First Cut.</p>
<p>Perhaps your ambitions aren=92t so lofty? Busy parents with no time to edit<br />
years/months of family video memories? You've lovingly recorded Junior<br />
since the day he was born but now he's graduated kindergarten - even Junior<br />
can use First Cut's idiot-proof controls to speedily edit his own<br />
life-story into a viewable format which won=92t make the grandparents fall<br />
asleep on the couch.</p>
<p>Like all great innovations, First Cut is ultimately simple - a<br />
user-friendly software effortlessly enabling a whole new generation of<br />
movie-makers to project their visions onto screens big and small, without<br />
breaking the bank. What's more, First Cut's easy-to-learn tutorial brings<br />
novice DV editors up to speed in under HALF AN HOUR.</p>
<p>Yet First Cut's simplicity doesn=92t for a moment diminish its value to<br />
skilled professionals whose workload will be significantly lessened by<br />
=46irst Cut's revolutionary Clip Marker system - reducing large chunks of DV<br />
video into usable clips in a flash.</p>
<p>And how does First Cut go where no other similar DV Cutting Station has<br />
gone before? By enabling users to run their footage and place markers known<br />
as "Hotshots" - creating unlimited visual memory locations at the press of<br />
a button - without even stopping. But that's not it. Professional editors,<br />
directors and producers will relish First Cut's completely new concept of<br />
movie transport control. The timeline and mouse driven movie controller are<br />
rendered obsolete, replaced with variable-degree fixed-time increments.<br />
Theres simply no faster way to get though any amount of DV footage.</p>
<p>Both straightforward and affordable, First Cut achieves the same results as<br />
more pricey DV editing software - in just a fraction of the time!</p>
<p>But don=92t let its simplicity fool you. Created by movie music editor Ashle=<br />
y<br />
Revell (Sin City, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and The Chronicles of Riddick)<br />
and veteran Mac software developer Janusz Skarbek, First Cut is the result<br />
of two busy professionals slowed down and frustrated by unwieldy software.</p>
<p>"When you=92re on an editing deadline, time is everything," explains Revell.<br />
"For Logging, Spotting and Clip making, there was nothing available on the<br />
market that operated fast enough for my needs. Jan and I worked together to<br />
create First Cut literally as a means to an end. It was only when First Cut<br />
was finished that we realized what a breakthrough this represents to both<br />
industry professionals and home video makers."</p>
<p>Says Skarbek: "From network broadcasters to student film makers, First Cut<br />
is the fastest way to go. Forensic investigators, scientific researchers,<br />
Reality TV editors and other people who have to wade through enormous<br />
amounts of DV footage - their job just got a whole lot easier."</p>
