New FCP rumor from macnn
Apple is indeed on the verge of releasing a new version of Final Cut Studio, new sources are said to corroborate. Although some sources have suggested than an updated Final Cut Studio suite could be announced on March 24th, people “familiar with the company’s plans” are said to indicate that Apple is timing a release around the National Association of Broadcasters expo, scheduled for late April. Apple and some other major companies are not attending NAB, but the event is known for bringing major video-related product unveilings.
The new version of Final Cut Studio is said to be late into development, echoing suggestions that it was already in beta testing. Apple is also believed to be preparing an updated Final Cut Server, and possibly a replacement for Shake, its compositing software last updated in 2006. Another related product which may premiere soon is an updated Logic Studio, used in audio production and performance.Dajen Productions, Santa Barbara, CA

Crystal ball-gazing about Apple is a hobby.
So is reading the rumor sites.
if you look at the records of such sites, you can do just as well by guessing or throwing darts at a wall wearing a blindfold.
Most of those same Apple rumor sites totally missed last week’s iPod and Mac mini intros. I mean, 4gigs for $80 with a form factor that is not much larger than a AA battery is pretty darned BIG news since there are 10s of millions of iPod users but only a million FCP users. None of the rumor sites even saw those coming.When the long-anticipated FCP release happens, it will happen. And we’ll all be surprised, tickled, pleased, disappointed, and angry.

Oooo…will the next version FINALLY be the EXTREME version we heard about? New Shake? Will it be called RATTLE AND ROLL?
I’m hoping for native editing of all major cel phone formats. And I cannot wait until the iPhone 3.0 comes out, I hear there is support for installing and FCP control interface on that.

I’d love it if they called it Rattle and Roll. LOL.

meh. It’s almost inevitable Apple will introduce a new Final Cut this year (most likely around NAB time). It’s been what, 2 years since version 6?
And then it won’t actually ship till November.
And whoever is an early adopter will have a frustrating December with technical problems and we’ll fill up the Cow with our attempts to make it work.
Then maybe by January we’ll have a .1 fix.
So almost a year from now Final Cut 7 will be production ready?

I heard from chumpborneveryminute.com that the next release will contain time-space bending features, so you can edit before you shoot, and take as long as you need to meet your deadline!
however, everytime you use the feature, you age 10 years, so they are still working that out

Apple has never waited that long to ship a product. Usually they ship one month after announcement. FCS2 was probably the longest hold back and that shipped in June if I remember rightly.
All the best,

Oh that’s just a bug that will be worked out…. oh never because we’ll all be dead and then there will be no one to complain about it. Talk about continuous sales. 1,000,000 FCP users dying off every few months so they’ll need a new crop to keep buying…..

Another interesting rumor is Apple just bought large production volumes of some 10-inch LCD screens from a supplier. Nobody knows what for, speculation is a competitor to the popular little notebook computers like the Acer, or some kind of tablet. A Kindle competitor is unlikely using that kind of display though. Maybe a pen tablet with visual surface? Maybe a control interface with configurable buttons, like an iphone stretched to typewriter keyboard size?
Me, I just want my %^#& BlueRay functionality in FCS and DVDSP. And drives to go with.
(You really didn’t think I’d forget to keep poking that dead horse, did you?) 🙂
