Generally it will work in the download section in about two weeks after the release. I guess they reward folks who keep their editing systems available to the internet.

from Macnn:

Apple today updated its Final Cut Pro real-time editing software for DV, SD, HD, and film as well as its WebObjects Web development application. Final Cut Pro 5.1.3 provides several important bug fixes, and is recommended for all Final Cut Pro 5.1, 5.1.1, and 5.1.2 license holders. Render files created on both PowerPC-based and Intel-based Macs now work properly on either type of computer, and the update adds several commands to the default keyboard layout that were missing in the previous version. Final Cut Pro 5.1.3 resolves cases in which cross dissolves did not work as expected in nested sequences containing still images with adjusted motion parameters, and addresses effects compatibility issues as well as video format compatibility. The latest revision also resolves long-standing issues with video scope performance and audio output.

Final Cut Pro 5.1.3 includes native support and corresponding Easy Setups for the 720p24 and 720p25 as well as 1080p24 and 1080p25 HD formats. The update also offers compatibility with DVCPRO HD camcorder devices by adding two new Easy Setups:
DVCPRO HD 720p25 is used for native editing of DVCPRO HD 720p25 footage imported from Panasonic P2 cards. Final Cut Pro does not, however, support DVCPRO HD 720p25 capture from or output to tape.
DVCPRO HD 1080pA24 is used to capture and output DVCPRO HD 1080p24 footage with advanced pulldown to and from tape. The format uses the same pulldown technique as NTSC 24p, and the footage on tape is actually recorded at 29.97 interlaced frames per second (fps). Final Cut Pro removes redundant fields, resulting in a 23.98 fps for progressive scan QuickTime movie on a scratch disk.

Is this a roundabout way of saying they FINALLY fixed the ‘Out of Memory’ error that can kill your project when using nested items – I was sure it did it most often with gfx/stills. That’s been bothering me for ages – I have avoided all nests as much as possible because of it.

so has anyone installed it? is it working ok? for both PPC and Intel users?

thanks.

I guess we’re still waiting on the fix from Apple to get the transitioins for Boris to work. I was told this wasn’t the one.

Oh well, gives me some time to reformat my system drive on my Mac Pro and load Leopard. That’s just a joke…..I hope.

Working so far….

Does it work, though? I seem to remember last time you could download it, but the installer wouldn’t complete. Weird.
