Our favorite rumor is back. If true, it is coming in the nick of time for our shop, we’re getting ready to upgrade.
My two biggest hopes:
h.264 native editing on the timeline without any conversions needed.
Better BluRay export options. I still don’t ened full-on authoring, but I want to be able to make good, fast and easy dubs of short HD content (spots and VNR’s) to BD for archival and distribution.
Also, if they have a control pref for making the teensiest parts of the GUI bigger for my aging eyes, it would be nice:-)

We already have your second request. What about it would you like to improve/change? Share works pretty seamlessly for this. If you have a BD burner you’ll get full bluray. If you have regular DVD burner you’ll get an avchd bluray that, IMO looks just as good for most projects.

Although this was posted below, I thought I’d add a little confirmation – after all, why would Larry Jordan lie about this:

Between this and Light Peak / Thunderbolt (can that name REALLY be true) I think this MIGHT be the most exciting three months in FCP circles for a very long time.
BTW – If you don’t like rumours, fine by me – I choose to believe this one, read into that what you will…

Larry wouldn’t. His rep is too valuable to jeopardize by fibbing.

May sound silly, but autopatch would be nice, thank you!

I agree about the small size – when working with dual 27 cinema displays, I feel like I’m looking at ants when I try to work.
I’ve been playing with new apps built for Mac like Pixelmator and Cheetah 3D. They’re so robust that I’ll accept some of their limitations to support them. I’d also like to see FCP rewritten in 64 so that we take advantage of all my RAM and extra cores. A new refreshed UI would be fine by me. Apple recently patented a new edit to tape system, so it would be great to see that play out. The ability to make templates for graphics like the motion templates, but customizable within FCP would be nice.
Imagine if the faces feature in iMovie were included – first – it would be fantastic – second – it would be an incredible time suck as the system processes all the footage. If done correctly though, faces could be incredibly useful.
There is so much that can be improved upon in FCP. Watch folders and a more active media manager system could also be nice.
And hey, maybe we’ll finally get 64 bit quicktime to boot!

I love FCP. All I want to see is 64bit and background rendering to make this program as fast as possible! – even if this involves buying another machine for just this – I know LOTS of prod co’s that would easily shell out – or of course Xserve.

Forgive me if I am missing the dry humor, but Apple discontinued Xserve as of last month.

It will be interesting how Apple deals with 64 bit Quicktime, which would surely be required. I would guess Apple has it hidden away in Snow Leopard and is reserved solely for FCP 8. It may surface as a general API in Lion.
Just a guess…
