Tons of information on all the new pro apps; well done Apple.

Hopfully this doean’t mean that Apple won’t be shipping printed manuals with the app. That would suck. I hate printing out 1868 pages myself.

Makes for a bit of a bit of a disappointing read. Seems there are very few major updates or corrections to media work flow.
i.e. Subclips are still treated as Master clips, big mistake. Log and Capture still looks as clunky as ever, as does the
patch panel on the timeline which still has 6 buttons for each track. HOWEVER being able to capture more than two tracks of audio is big news for me. This at least will bring Final Cut Pro up to the same level as Avid when going for those jobs that have more than two tracks
recorded in the studio or the field. Multi-camera editing looks impressive as well.

All in all if it’s rock solid stable I will be more than happy to upgrade.

Why print it out? I just use the Help feature within the app to do a search for whatever it is I’m looking for. I’d actually prefer to have it paperless so I don’t have to put the manuals on the shelf.

And FYI, I checked my order status again and it still says “This will ship on or before 6/1/2005” so it looks like Apple is still on track for delivery, especially since the manual has been ‘put to bed’ and ready for print.

Just got official word from Paul Saconne of Apple who posted on lafcpug “Run to your stores this weekend. The wait is over.”

Well, if the size of the box is any indication, I think you’ll have nothing to fear…

I’ve already taken delivery of the new G5. Now all I need is something to fill it with. 🙂
