How much money is FInal Cut Pro X really going to cost?

[John Pale]

Maybe you should take that money and buy some pizza ovens instead. No upgrades to worry about in that line of work. And very little doom and gloom from conjecture based on total speculation.

[Alexander Higgins] “Hey so it looks like FCP studio is dead and only Final Cut Pro X will live on.”

I’m not sure how it looks like that. Apple said to those who spoke to them after the Supermeet that there’s more to come. We don’t know if there will be separate apps or complete integration. Ubillos showed some integration of some features of SoundTrack Pro, Motion, Color but certainly not enough for one to assume the whole suite is integrated, yet. We just don’t know so there’s no reason yet to assume one way or the other.

“FCP studio is dead”

Says who? Studio may be dead as a bundle, which I don’t think is any bad thing. What makes you think the other apps will not be available through the App Store as they’re upgraded? That would be the logical thing to do, and the Apple execs at the sneak peek said just about that. And I guarantee the prices will not be a fraction of what you’re quoting.

All the best,

Tom

I don’t think Apple would be stupid enough to cede The mid-range DVD authoring and Transcoding market to Adobe. Both Encore DVD and Adobe Media encoder are decent tools but aren’t as mature as their apple counterparts. However when combined with Premier Pro, after Effects and Photoshop Adobe Productions Premium makes for a compelling package. You will absolutely see the return of color as an independent market of low to mid-market users has grown to support it as well as large industry centered on third party hardware. I don’t think Apple would be foolish enough to risk alienating its Professional user base just so Joe blow can edit YouTube movies in 8bit prores on his new IMac.

I agree. As posted in the thread When Apple Discontinues, they tend to leave EOL software available for some time. iDVD and iWeb are still part of iLife boxed even if not in the App Store. Shake was available for a long time after EOL was announced. I suspect DVDSP will be available for some time and probably at a reduced price. I do think it’s reasonable to assume development has stopped but that doesn’t mean it won’t be available.
