Another interesting point: In the purchased tab, the application is listed as Final Cut Pro. Of course 10.0.9 won’t be available in the store once 10.1 comes out and the only way to download 10.0.9 is through the purchased page, but I was thinking you couldn’t differentiate the two. These are the scenarios…
1. FCPX 10.1 will be a normal update to 10.0.9 users (not paid)
2. FCPX 10.1 will be called Final Cut Pro X and exist as a new app replacing Final Cut Pro (of course the page displays Final Cut Pro X currently, but in the store search and purchased pages it’s listed as Final Cut Pro.#2 Seems very confusing. I’m also curious if Apple’s new “Pro” campaign will allow new Macbook Pro and Mac Pro customers to download (and own) all of the Pro apps. Aperture, Final Cut Pro, etc.

I’m very excited about this Lut utility for FCPX. I actually emailed Denver months ago detailing how I’d like Luts to work in FCPX and I guess it was inspired from some of that discussion.
One of the best things to note here is that you probably have Denver’s work on your iPhone right now. Not only is he a talented colorist, he also designed all the color grades for the new Instagram app. I have no doubt that some of his presets for this will look amazing.

Since the app page itself is labeled “Final Cut Pro X” and they will be maintaining that name (with no version numbers), it is entirely possible that all versions of 10.X will be free. While the description and terms does mention free upgrades not including 10.1, that was also written in 2011(?). Apple’s recent move to giving away iOS apps with new purchases makes me think they could continue with free upgrades, or at least including FCPX with the new Mac Pro.
I agree that it will be hard to distinguish Final Cut Pro X from Final Cut Pro X in a purchased tab in the Mac App Store. Unless the App Store is updated itself, or the 10.1 FCPX app gets a new icon (which neither seem realistic), 10.1 could continue to be free.
If it’s not free, I don’t know how they would solve some of the more complex issues with listing the software as a purchased item (10.0.9 vs 10.1). That alone makes me think 10.1 will provide us with a link that says “update” if we have 10.0.9 purchased and installed. Just my thoughts…
