Apple Final Cut Pro X, Logic Pro X free trials extended to 90 days

Now is the best time to try out Apple's pro video and audio editing software as both Final Cut Pro X and Logic Pro X will have extended 90-day trials. For the latter, it'll be the first time Apple will be offering a free trial. For Final Cut Pro X, the free trial will be extended from the original 30-day trial to the three-month one. And if you want to use it beyond that, you'll need to pay for the license fee. You can download the program over at Apple's website. If you're already on the 30-day trial, you can still get the new version and get an extra 90 days. It isn't clear yet when Logic Pro X will be rolling out, but with the announcement, it should be out pretty soon.
