Apple extends Final Cut Studio crossgrade until March 19, 2007

Who knows? I think we might have an answer in a few weeks though. Seems very bizzare that you could upgrade from FCP 3 but not FCP 4 or 5! Well, I suppose I could always "upgrade" my old copy of FCP 3 if I still have it.

But I think we need to see what's happening with the next version before doing anything at this point...

Just noticed that Apple has changed the upgrade info on their site. Now it says that any version of FCP (except educational) can be upgraded to Final Cut Studio for $699...

hmmm...looks like I might have been doing the right thing by getting the crossgrade in the nick of time. Hard to imagine that it will cost $500 to upgrade from 5.1 to 6 when the time comes (i.e., I've now spent $199 and anything less than $500 will represent a savings over a total of $699)
