Recently when I spoke to Apple they told me they were dropping support for PAL in the next release – infact ANYTHING 25 frame based!
What would I do without the ‘UNDO’ button!!!!
-
I heard all the onscreen buttons and timecode windows would be smaller.
And the color scheme would get brighter and happier!

Wooooo, are we finally going to get the Rainbow Brite mode we’ve been asking for all these years?

[Alan Okey] “I’m really looking forward to the full native support of codecs like BFD, WTF and LMAO. Unfortunately, LOL will not be supported in this release, although OMG support is rumored to be coming soon in a point release update.”
I swear I damned near spit my morning coffee up all over my keyboard and screen reading this, Alan.
But thanks for getting coffee up my nose, man.
🙂
It was time to clean up my keyboard anyway, although I won’t be needing it now that Final Cut Studio 3’s Mind-Meld features are coming.

Yes, without a doubt they are — one box at a time.
Or you can get the site license.
With the new FCS3, a single box comes with the Care Bears interface but the site license comes with the Strawberry Shortcake interface and network gaming plug-in. (If you notice at the Strawberry Shortcake site, the only fruit filling missing from the game is Apple — this, due to contractual limits awaiting the forthcoming WWDC announcement wherein it becomes part of the big roll-out announcement.)

PS: I forgot to mention that Apple will also announce as part of the WWDC that all of the Strawberry Shortcake videos were edited in Final Cut Studio 3. Rumor has it that Strawberry herself will take the stage at WWDC and take part in the festivities. Eat your heart out, Disney.

Ok, this is probably going to get me in trouble, but I need to say it. I was at a conference the week before last and I met an old friend who is now a top CAE at Apple. He told me something completely unexpected: FCS3 will be skipped altogether. Apple will jump straight to “FCS4”. This will coincide with the conclusion of the well under way process of Apple’s acquisition of Adobe (creating the “Applobe” branch). The new version of the Studio will be the first to celebrate this merger and it will be called Final Creative Studio 4, or “F.CS4”. It will contain an updated version of the current “Creative Suite 4” applications such as Photoshop, Soundbooth and After Effects (which will probably be renamed Motion Effects, eliminating Motion from the package, but he didn’t have this detail). Premiere Pro will be once and for all discontinued. Across the board integrated translation protocols based on a revised fusion of XML, AAF and advanced scripting will allow for any project to be opened by any application, including through simple “send to” features, but retaining “export to” abilities. When I was about to mutter “that is madness!” he continued saying ” – And that’s not all.” Apple is also buying the Foundry, and through this Shake will be revived as an eyeon Fusion with Nuke, and they will be called “Shuke”. As I shook my head he continued: “I’m particularly excited about something else, though”. Inside the “Final Creative Studio” there will be “Final Cut Pro” and “Cut Pro Tools”, as Apple acquires the Digidesign branch off of Avid Technology. This will mean that from within a timeline in Final Cut you will be able to click on an icon (or press CMD+SHIFT+P) and open that timeline in the new Pro Tools. There will be no more need for “Export to OMF” or “Digitranslators”. The same functionality will bring the project back to FC. Soundtrack Pro will be thrown into the garbage. I interrupted him shouting “But that’s monopoly!”. He insisted I was not seeing the bigger picture. He said Apple is going to make the Final Creative Studio available for KDE and GNOME linux distros, including Ubuntu, and that in this case the whole package will be free and open sourced. He concluded saying that Bill Gates was also behind all this and that in a trip to Nepal together with Steve Jobs they had seen a light that said: “Help humanity create art free of the capitalist constraints”. So they are both throwing their entire fortunes in financing this enterprise, including R&D departments to keep it all up to speed over the next 75 years. Windows will be aborted. Jim Jannard was also passing through Nepal when Jobs and Gates were there (he was getting married, apparently), and in his case the light inspired him to make the Red camera now have its price reduced to simply cover production costs and to announce to the world the exact date and time of Scarlet and Epic releases. At this point in the conversation my friend had to go and I was left there flummoxed, and with a strange tic in my pinkie finger of the left hand and foot.
