My wishes for tomorrow.
Let’s hope the rumors are correct that we will see updates tomorrow…These are my wishes
1. Better stability with large projects (When you project starts going past 60mb things starts to act up)
2. Native 64bit, so that things are faster, and more stable
3. TC window. (with options that Avid has had for a long time)
4. Better keyboardlayoutstability (might only be a problem for international users)
5. Better XSan stablity (You MUST be able to smoothely work with FCP projects on the san without having to copy the project to a local drive.. (know bug))
6. Better workflows for lots of editors working on big projects.
7. Color update !

I hope that we get the new hardware based FCP extreme. Rumor has it it’s milk-cooled. Simply pour milk into a pour hole on the front. After a few days, cheese is created and grated through the aluminum grill on the front.
Ironically, this isn’t really a new feature. I’ve been using FCP to create grate cheese for years….
Avid is also working on one. However, it doesn’t work with regular milk. You have to buy the milk directly from Avid or Avid authorized dealers. Also, you can’t just pour the milk in, there’s an additional hardware milk-feeder that slowly imports the milk into their proprietary system that doesn’t work with any other systems. I’ve heard that there are quite a few bugs in the Avid system. Currently it only works with Windows Millennium, because it’s the cheesiest OS ever.
I’ll be here all night, folks…..

[Anders Haavie] “Native 64bit, so that things are faster”
For FCP to become 64 bit, it will take much more then you might think.
First to make it 64 bit it would require a complete re right of the software code from the ground up, its not just a matter of tweaking a few things in the existing code.
Second FCP relies on the quicktime core components that are in the OS. Currently quicktime is still 32 bit so placing a 64 bit FCP on top of 32 bit quicktime core components would still make FCP act like a 32 bit application. Because these components are core to the OS, it is extremely unlikely that a simple quicktime update would make those quicktime core components 64 bit. So for quicktime to become 64 bit your looking at a completely OS (aka snow leopard).
With that said, just having FCP be 64 bit with out any other new features at all would make it well worth the upgrade. The reason that FCP currently has a limit on how much ram it can use is because it is 32 bit. This article from Apple explains that https://support.apple.com/kb/TA27734
Loosing the ram limit would make a huge difference in the performance of FCP.There are no “technical solutions” to your “artistic problems”.
Don’t let technology get in the way of your creativity! -
Anders,
Looks like we’re all still waiting…
