I’m sure it’s being updated and will most likely re-appear as things get certified. There’s a LOT of hardware and software being released at NAB by many vendors and it may take some time for everything to get sorted out.
Also remember, Apple JUST announced the release date for Tiger AND OS 10.3.9 (an OS specified by FCP 5) is not out yet, so until all the vendors get the OS and FCP 5 it will take some time to get things certified. With all the secrecy around Apple’s products, it’s probable that many of the 3rd party manufacturers have not even received FCP 5 or Tiger yet for testing.

Good gosh man! The Midi keyboard is totally important with Garage Band if you want to rock out very badly! 🙂
I was supposed to be there at NAB this year and had to cancel everything on Thursday due to a very hard deadline on Tuesday along with a ton of other work. Business has been absolutely insane over here this year and we’re doing a LOT more broadcast now in HD which is really fun and gratifying. Articles for the Cow are one of the things I was going to be doing so I probably would answer pretty much every question you have.
Sorry about that and maybe next year I finally get back there!

Last year Apple announced the new Powerbooks on Tuesday during NAB. So if we’re going to get new hardware this week, I would expect it to be on Tuesday as well. But we’ll just have to wait and see.

[Adolfo Rozenfeld] “The MIDI keyboard support is also a truly innovative concept, with the only drawback that few motion graphic designers have one at hand right now, right? “
Dude, you obviously don’t have Garage Band. I purchased Garage Band one day and the very next day went back to the Apple Store and picked up the M-Audio 49 key keyboard. You should hear me play Hendrix on that thing. 🙂 You can get a nice USB MIDI keyboard for $99 at the Apple Store. I can’t wait to try out that feature with Motion 2. Or should we start calling it M2 for short?
[Adolfo Rozenfeld] “For someone who loves both AE and Motion like myself, the After Effects integration workflow is amazing.”
In a word, Brilliant! Can’t wait to integrate this with my animations in AE. I just purchased the Wondertouch Particle Emitters for Motion and they are just superb. Now I’ll be able to work them in even easier with this integration.
Sounds like good things are coming and only 4-5 weeks until everything ships. Sounds great!

[Tim Langston] “My order’s in! Now the waiting period. “
I’m waiting until at least Tuesday. Last year the Powerbooks showed up on Tuesday during NAB. I’m hoping maybe we’ll see something new show up on Tuesday.

[AViPro] “If I remember correctly he was talking about just the FCP upgrade. Not the Production Suite upgrade “
Ah yes, the FCP along upgrade is $399.

Interesting note in the Requirements:
Mac OS X v10.3.9 or later
QuickTime 7 or later
So Quicktime 7 will run on Panther and FCP 5 will run on Panther. Interesting.

Interesting that whoever suggested that the upgrade would be $699 was dead on. 1299 new, 699 upgrade. Sounds like it’s all worth it.

[Steve Connor] “The guys phone is about to quit!!! “
funny stuff! Sounds like the Monty Python Chase scene. “And then….. the animator died.”
Fun reading on that site with the translation. Good stuff and we’ll have to improve on that next year here with the Cow.
