Apple will be temporarily extending free trials on the Final Cut Pro X, a video editing software, and Logic Pro X a music production suite from the previous 30 days to 90 days. A move that will give potential customers with limited access to also try out the software.
The extension is currently available for the Final Cut Pro X. And will be rolled out to the Logic Pro X in the coming days.
