iphoto bugs aren’t fixed in 10.42 as promised as well.

Once you’ve updated, There’s a new ‘Lat Breaking News’ pdf in the help menu here’s the 5.0.2 section for you, in case you are worried about upgrading yet!?

Sorry the formatting is a bit odd, the text is pasted from a PDF viewed in Safari.

Late-Breaking News About Final Cut Pro 5.0.2
Final Cut Pro 5.0.2 is a maintenance release of Final Cut Pro 5 that resolves performance
and other issues.
Working with Multiclips
Improvements have been made in these areas: exporting EDLs, switching angles with
speed settings applied, media management, recapturing single angles, resynchronizing
multiclip angles in the Viewer, maintaining master-affiliate clip relationships when
switching angles, and inserting or deleting angles from multiclips whose angle
durations vary widely.

Inserting a Multiclip Angle into All Affiliated Multiclips

When you insert or overwrite an angle in a multiclip in Final Cut Pro 5.0, only the
current multiclip is affected. In Final Cut Pro 5.0.2, you now have the option to insert an
angle into all multiclips affiliated with the one you are currently inserting into. This
option makes it easy to insert a new multiclip angle into many multiclips at once. This
can be useful if you already have an edited multiclip sequence created by switching
and cutting, and you want to add a new angle to all of the multiclips in that sequence.

Note:

For more information about inserting and overwriting multiclip angles, see the

Final Cut Pro 5 User Manual

, Volume II, page 271.
For example, suppose you have a sequence that contains a multiclip that has three
angles (camera A, B, and C), and you have performed several real-time cuts between
the angles. Each time you cut to a new multiclip angle in the Timeline, a new affiliated
instance of the multiclip is created. The Insert New Angle Affiliates option allows you to
easily add a fourth angle (for example, from camera D) to all of the affiliated multiclips
in the Timeline at once.

To insert a new angle into all affiliated multiclips at the same time:

Double-click a multiclip in the Browser or Timeline to open it in the Viewer.

Drag a clip from the Browser to one of the multiclip angles displayed in the Viewer.

Continue to hold down the mouse button until the Insert New Angle, Insert New Angle
Affiliates, and Overwrite Angle overlays appear in the Viewer.

Move the pointer over the Insert New Angle Affiliates overlay, then release the
mouse button.
The dragged clip becomes a new angle in the multiclip, as well as in all affiliated
multiclips.

Working with Final Cut Pro and Soundtrack Pro

The following issues with using Final Cut Pro and Soundtrack Pro together have
been resolved.

Working with Background Movies in Soundtrack Pro

Background movies are now properly sent to Soundtrack Pro when exporting to a
Soundtrack Pro multitrack project from Final Cut Pro.

Sending Soundtrack Pro Projects from Final Cut Pro to Soundtrack Pro

You can now send Soundtrack Pro audio projects from the Final Cut Pro Timeline to
Soundtrack Pro multiple times. In Final Cut Pro 5.0.2, when you send an audio clip in
the Final Cut Pro Timeline to a Soundtrack Pro audio project, the resulting
Soundtrack Pro audio project clip in the Timeline audio tracks is no longer linked to its
corresponding video clip in the video track. If you need to link a video clip and a
Soundtrack Pro project clip in the Timeline, you can manually link them by selecting
them and choosing Modify > Link.

Choosing How Final Cut Pro Handles HDV Start/Stop Detection

When capturing HDV footage from a Sony HDV camcorder using Final Cut Pro 5.0.2,
you can choose how Final Cut Pro creates media files and clips when start and stop
indicators are detected. (Start/stop indicators occur on a tape in places where
recording was stopped and then started again.)

To choose how Final Cut Pro handles start/stop detection when capturing
HDV footage:

If you have not already done so, choose Final Cut Pro > Easy Setup, then select an HDV
