There was a beta behind the apple firewall about 1 month ago for a VERY brief time. I heard that it would be final by the end of the year... Now would Apple hold it till Macworld? Sure.
<strong>Also rumors that FCP for OSX will increase render time by a big factor.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Please tell me you meant to say decrease?!
I'm willing to wait for Final Cut Pro, so long as they do a really great job on it. The wonderful iDVD 2 gives me hope that perhaps Final Cut Pro will be a Cocoa app. It deserves to be Apple's flagship product on OS X.
I heard that the makers of RTmac have allready bagged future production, even though they spent alot on R&D, but considering the near real time rendering in the future with OSX.... we can spend that extra 1000 on equipment!!
<strong>Provides enhanced application stability when a FireWire-based (DV) camera is disconnected in certain situations when Final Cut Pro is open; improves data transfer reliability</strong><hr></blockquote>
Okay, this either means that somehow it is possible to run FCP in Classic... or better yet Final Cut Pro is already running in OS X in Cupertino!
[quote] i wonder what this means for the matrox rendering card. Q. will it warrant a $1000 price tag? I guess only if you are doing lots of After Effects. <hr></blockquote>
The Matrox card doesn't speed up effects in After Effects only FCP.

No. It's the promax card that has been cancelled. I haven't heard anything about the matrox card being cancelled.
Auroras Igniter is now doing single stream realtime effects on un-compressed video and Digital Voodoo's Card is doing real-time cross dissolves also on uncompressed video at 10bit.
I won't be able to leave OS9 until Final Cut, After Effects and Commmotion are all carbon.
Well if it isn't Final Cut Pro that's introduced, it will likely be a Mac OS X native version of Adobe Premiere. That's also highly possible at this point...given the fact Premiere was demoed in OS X-native beta mode at NAB back in April of this year.

Why do I have no doubt they'll do it
<strong>The FCP UI is awesome; changing it for the sake of OSX would be extremely dumb.
Why do I have no doubt they'll do it
I did not mean toatly change it and make it aqau. I just ment make them a little more photo realistic.
Same with iTunes' UI. Some apps shouldn't look too Aqua IMHO.

DV Expo. See <a href="http://www.thinksecret.com."; target="_blank">http://www.thinksecret.com.</a>;
It's about f***king time. I am holding off on moving to OSX until that comes out.
Also rumors that FCP for OSX will increase render time by a big factor. Lastly, Sorensen 3.1 codec for QT is now Multiprocossor enabled.
let the good times roll.

I too think DV Expo is the perfect time for the announcement (doesn't mean it will ship) of FCP X
Yeah...I have Sorenson 3.1 Pro codec and it flies with MP machines....the speed is roughly 190% of the SP machines with the same clock rate

<strong>I think he means the the speed increase, not the render time increase.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Sorry, I meant to say that render times will decrease. under OSX, rumors are that rendering performance will increase. sorry for the confusion.
i wonder what this means for the matrox rendering card. Q. will it warrant a $1000 price tag? I guess only if you are doing lots of After Effects.
I am looking forward to this and it is a big reason to upgrade to OSX. It is the only thing holding me back at this point.
Phil Shiller, VP Mktg at Apple is doing the
keynote.
I imagine it will ship sometime in January 2002.
