Do you think the people that build Final Cut work for free? If you're a small business or student chances are you don't need the advanced features that you'll get with a premium app like Final Cut. So, buy something that is less expensive that will do what you're looking to do.
I simply don't understand why people have this sense of entitlement to some things. Do you really need Final Cut or can you get by with a more basic application? Well if you can't, then that's why there is a premium attached to premier software apps. The better your products/servies are the more you can charge, it's basic economics. If I have a product that does 10x more than yours, why would I sell it at the same price?
