[Jeremy Garchow] “Oh yeah? And just how do you plan to capture your video?”
AJA announced support for PPro very shortly using the Kona boards on a Mac. Was supposed to happen last year, but will happen shortly now.
In fact supposedly you’ll be able to use a Xena or Kona board on either the Mac or PC very shortly as well.

Doen’nt everyone find it odd something like this even came up. With Final Cut Server now shipping and in some post houses and the recent update to FCS. Why would apple even think of selling it off. As was already stated over 1,000,000 registered users. Apple won’t want to loose that market let alone all the film and tv cred that is happening with FCS now.

Despite todays official claim by Apple that it is NOT going to happen, some of you will just not let this rumor die. I’m scratching my head.
What does it take for people to believe that this is not going to happen? FCS3 with a certificate signed in blood that says “we are not selling?” No wonder Apple rarely comments on rumors. What’s the point? This is what happens. More rumors.

Yo Michael,
Good to see you last night…
I don’t think even one of us really believes the rumor. And for me, lightning doesn’t strike twice, does it???

[Don Walker] “Question 2: If Final Cut died on the vine… where would you go?”
I can’t imagine that a product like FCP with the userbase it has could ever be simply killed off. If it were sold (which seems unlikely now of course) it would presumably because Apple didn’t want to devote the resources to a very specialist market with very specific demands, and whoever bought it would presumably want to be devoted to that market, or ideally already would be.
I haven’t really jumped into FCP with everything yet anyway, so for me it wouldn’t be a huge problem, I’d carry on with Avid. Otherwise for many users Premiere Pro seems like the best alternative (I haven’t used Premiere in years, but Ive heard fairly positive reports about PPro).

In February 2008, Apple’s cash was $18.4 billion, or about $21 of the $119 share price.
With that type of balance sheet, they will most likely make investments or acquisitions. They aren’t going to be selling off anything.
Maybe they’ll just buy Adobe. That’s more likely than they’ll sell Pro Apps.

[walter biscardi] “Nope, don’t see Final Cut Pro mentioned anywhere.”
It is bunch of drives Walter – not a capture card. You don’t see Premiere, Edius, ProTools, etc, etc – it does not mean it does not work. There is nothing special in that box that makes it work only in Avid. That is marketing vs reality. It is 10 drives with a SCSI RAID controller. Buy it, use it. I have personally used on MacPros with ATTO UL5D capturing ProRes HQ and uncompressed 1080i 8 bit.
Anyway, would you think Avid would advertise a competitive product in their own marketing? I mean I don’t see Apple saying MacPros are FCP only. Where is Premiere or Avid?
The only real Avid centric thing in those drives is in the configuration tool. You can either set it to Media Composer mode or Symphony mode. But that is just a naming thing for a simple technical question – how do you want to partition your drives.
