No kidding. How long ago did Aperture 2 come out? I'm almost tempted to move back to iPhoto (ok, not really, but almost). It handles RAW much better than it used to and supports geotagging. I though features were supposed to trickle down from the pro apps to the consumer apps, not the other way around! And they still don't even fully support RAW formats for the Canon 5DII which came out nearly a year ago.
I just called Apple Final Cut Tech Support and they confirmed that the New Final Cut 7 is fully 64 bit with Open CL support for the new Snow Leopard. They said it was state on the web site under www.apple.com/finalcutstudio........ yeah, good luck finding it under that GENERAL location.
Anyway, they did say it was fully 64 but with Open CL for what it's worth.

Totally agree, Aperture is so behind, it's lame .. but I do prefer Aperture's interface to LR.
You don't need DVDSP 4. It is all handled by FCP 7 now.
The burning can be done in FCP 7, but I doubt that this would include all of the functionality of dvd authoring that is available through DVDSP . Does it? If not, then the ability to burn Blue ray DVDs should have been added to DVDSP

And yes, Color can FINALLY handle multi-cam sequences!! Woohoo!
Thank G-d. This will be a great improvement to my workflow. Hopefully the added support will not cause Color to render the entire footage that the the angles are based on but just the sections that are actually used in the sequence (keeping fingers crossed).
These apps will rock in SL - using all the power of all the CPU's and pushing a lot of work out to the GPU via OpenCL. I'll bet that 7.1 will be released shortly after SL's release, with perhaps some incremental new features and Blu-Ray support for new Mac Pros that will be released after SL that support Blu-Ray.
This seems like a somewhat underwhelming release (definitely perplexed by the disappearance of all things Shake?), but the truth is that editing platforms are mature products and they didn't need to reinvent the wheel. For years now the main things I've been looking for are bug fixes and workflow improvements like coloured markers, which we now at least get. There's bigger changes that need to be made, but they needed to get the entire codebase updated first, and that would have been an enormous task - some of the codebase is almost 10 years old, IIRC, dating back to Macromedia/PPC days. If the word from those smarter than I is that the code is now fully modern, then we have a platform we can again expect great leaps from in the future.

How many updates to film/audio since the update to photographs?
For crissakes, Apple... I'm moving to Lightroom soon. \
As much as it pains me to type this, Lightroom 2 kicks arse. I just wish it weren't quite so kludgy integrating with DxO... I'm only using Aperture now for touch ups on pics originally imported into Aperture. Anything new goes into Lr 2.
I really don't understand bringing up Aperture in a thread about Final Cut Pro. It's about as useful as bring up Final Cut Pro in a thread about Aperture.
Obviously Aperture 3 isn't ready yet.

Nothing to understand. I threadjacked.
Seriously though... sorry about that. I was frustrated at yet another update while my area of interest continues to be summarily ignored by Apple and I typed reactively. Will attempt to reign it in in the future.

Maybe Apple is working on a new application (Disk Studio Pro) to replace DVD Studio Pro that will let us author DVD and Blu-ray disks. This would move FCS 3 to FCS 3.5 and would happen after the Mac Pro gets a hardware refresh, offering us a Blu-ray disk as a CTO option.

I hear you, brother. It's a shame Apple does not.

A "significant" upgrade to Final Cut Studio...
Never were quotations marks more appropriately used.
While under development, the project was code-named Sideways.
Kind of says it all.

Did Apple update it to Cocoa? Or still Carbon?
I know -right? The tide is changing- slooooowly.
Does Sony get a royalty for this too?
Apple may support blu-ray in software but we still won't see them shipping system with it. SD is the future for now.
I'm sure FC Pro users demanded Apple support the optical discs. I just don't know why it took them so long.
Man, they updated Logic Express but not Final Cut Express. =/
Soon, likely.
Did Apple update it to Cocoa? Or still Carbon?
That is the only really important question of the day, I reckon - and I don't know the answer.
And STILL no Aperture 3.0.

Aperture has a long way to go to catch up, IMO.

Here's hoping DVD burning comes to FCE. I hate iDVD.

Well,
