What do you mean by if Final Cut Studio is still alive? You mean will it still be for sale? Probably not. But you already have the components of FCS. Going forward there will probably be new components available separately. Simply because they are separate applications does not mean they will lose any of the current integration capabilities available in FCS.

All the best,

The App Store is a cloud backup in addition to your own hardware backup.

Theoretically your apps are being backed up to Time Machine, or whatever backup software you’re using. You can download the app any time you want with your Apple ID.

All the best,

“FCP studio is dead”

Says who? Studio may be dead as a bundle, which I don’t think is any bad thing. What makes you think the other apps will not be available through the App Store as they’re upgraded? That would be the logical thing to do, and the Apple execs at the sneak peek said just about that. And I guarantee the prices will not be a fraction of what you’re quoting.

All the best,

Tom

You simply can’t without being able to open it in FCP7 and exporting a version 4 XML file.

Changing the settings will not change any existing sequence. After you’ve changed easy setup to DV NTSC make a new sequence.

Good solution and it could be set to run automatically after installation.

All the best,

Does the Xcode download install components? All the apps seem to go directly to the Apps folder, no installer. Not sure what FCP X is going to do about this either. Where will the codecs live and how do they get installed? Or will FCP X be the first app that downloads an installer.

All the best,

Maybe that’s what they’ll do for Motion. Download the software and purchase the components from the online store on a disc. You could use the app without the content if you wanted. I think DVDSP’s gone as a standalone. Probably the only disc burning will be the basic menus built into Compressor. Maybe I’m wrong about that, but Apple seems so adamantly anti-disc.

How do you get the packs for GarageBand now? There’s 7.9G of stuff plus another 1.9G of loops with GarageBand. The app itself is 184MB according to the App Store. 10G of stuff is a honking big download.

All the best,
