FCP optimized for Leopard?
Anyone have an answer or links regarding what might be different about FCP under Leopard? (Besides crashing…).
Thx

Undoubtedly there will be updates for FCP after Leopard comes out. What they do, no one can say until they are released.

there is some speculation regarding the potential impact of Leopard on FCP over on dvinfo:
… built into the code of FCS2 is the ability to take advantage of the revamped Core Audio and the new Core Animation engines that will be in Leopard. It will also boost Compressors ability to use multi-threaded (segmented) encodes (Qmaster already allows you to create a mult-cluster on a MacPro) which will speed up any encode jobs – especially non-multithreaded codecs such as HDV and H.264…. it’s possible soon after Leopard is released may also be either a major update to DVDSP-4 or *maybe* even DVDSP-5 … Optical Flow remtiming/resizing work will also see a significant speed increase with Leopard since Core Animation will allow CPU segmenting for those background tasks. NOTE: Expect to have lots of RAM in reserve for all this multi-threading – probably no less than 8GB would be recommended.

Andy,
Speculation is so beautiful.
Cheers to this being a reality. Thanks for posting a positive.

Les,
I guess you haven’t seen the new press release from Apple that came out today announcing that they’ve decided to drop FCP altogether in favor of a new aquisition now that Leopard is finally coming to market. Walter and Shane evidently knew about it but managed to keep their lips sealed. Here’s the press release…

I am so excited for this new NLE from Apple. I just hope that there is a smoothie version because I don’t drink coffee.
If there is a smoothie version I just might get that open kiosk at the mall I have been eyeing and move my edit suite there and also sell smoothies.

I’m suprised the press release didn’t mention the drive subsytem, with Apple pairing up with Atto for an acceleration card.
Of course, they named it Mac E Atto.

Is there “Scrubber” to get the coffee off of my screen and keyboard?
