UNIVERSAL UPGRADE — NEED IT B4 FCP 6 @ NAB?

[Jim Blokland]

Yes, that’s what I was concerned about. So I guess 5.0.4 may be the end-of-the-line as far as upgrades for FCP Studio goes.
Thanks for the responses, all.

Best, JIM.

Jim,

Actually, I meant to strongly suggest that it is very likely there will be more updates to FCP/FCS, prior to the release of the next versions.

While the next version of FCS may be announced at NAB, it likely won’t ship for some time afterwards. Therefore, it is likely that there will be updates to individuals applications within FCS before the next paid upgrade, implying that to benefit from these updates you would need to have the Universal versions of the applications installed.

So, the answer to your original question is a strongly qualified “Yes.”

My “Yes” answer was for current users of PPC-based Macs….
