Final Cut Pro for X

ghost_user_name

Well, any info?

That's one of my few reasons for rebooting into OS 9.



I heard a while back that it was supposed to be nearing completion late spring '02 and sheduled to be released at MWNY'02.

I really hope it will come out soon. I need to do lots of video work and I don't wanna use OS 9.

I wonder if they are going to change the GUI. I hope they keep the same feel but just revamp it fo look it's bast in OS X.

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 doubt they'll change it much. It just works. Make the buttons a little more Aqua-y and it'll be perfect.

I did not mean toatly change it and make it aqau. I just ment make them a little more photo realistic.

I can't see Apple releasing FCP X in January, it's too soon. I hope too they don't change the UI, it's rocking as it is.



Same with iTunes' UI. Some apps shouldn't look too Aqua IMHO.

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.

Re the UI: Let's hope Apple adds a FCP theme to the OS rather than changing the FCP UI for Aqua proper. That would rock.

Apple will release FCP for OSX Dec 4 at

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

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.

leonis

I think he means the the speed increase, not the render time increase.

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.

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!!

Interesting news from Apple!!

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!

leonis

So.....FCP X on Dec 4th. FOR SURE!

yes, word :cool:

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.

leonis

After Effects 5 runs fine under Classic unless you allocate more than 438MB or RAM to it......

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.
