Anyone guess when new Studio release?

[Russell Lasson]

I totally agree that the current FCP is getting closer and closer to the end of it’s product life. Major issues that I can think of is not being able to render RGB files at higher than 8-bits. It doesn’t support 4k resolutions, but that sounds more like a quicktime issue. And like Walter said, the general media management has been improved, but still suffers from many of the same problems year after year. And I don’t understand how the columns in the browser have never been addressed.

These issues might be able to be upgraded in future versions, but I think things are getting closer and closer to needing a fresh start.

Don’t forget they will make us all buy new hardware just because.

[walter biscardi] “And of course the better question really is, “Anyone want to guess how many new features Apple will include in Studio 3 while not fixing many of the basic flaws that affect our day to day workflow?””

This is sad… but true. Glad someone said it.

I also wish we could go back in time to when QuickTime was for the pro Apps, not the iToys. Lately it seems like every QT update is for security relating to the iTunes music store, and each one seems to give those of us trying to make a living more problems with our Pro Apps. Personally, I’d like to see a bifurcation… one version of QT for the Pro Apps and a second for the iToys. That way you wouldn’t have to choose between having an iPhone or getting FCP to work properly…
