Re: Thoughts on new FCP X Sneak Peek
I'm guessing you need Snow Leopard to install Lion because Lion won't be a large file and will be missing certain things, making it easy to install. Just the same as I bet you'll need Final Cut Studio 3 to install FCP X, because of loops, etc.

Re: Thoughts on new FCP X Sneak Peek
Lion is a full 4GB download much the same size as the Snow Leopard. You can apparently create a bootable disk from the download. FCP X is a brand new application there won't be any requirement to already have FCS 3 else what would all the new purchasers who have never had Final Cut before do.

Re: Thoughts on new FCP X Sneak Peek
I would have to assume that FCP X will come complete, with no prior FCP Studio 3 installation required or piggybacked.
However, the new software may not come with many loops... so owners of FCP Studio (1,2,3)... will likely have a distinct advantage in available loops. With the new App store format I can easily see Apple offering ala carte loop packs, similar to Digital Juice. |

James, I remember hearing that you could still install LiveType on your Mac even though Apple dropped it from FCS 3, pushing users to Motion. heath |

More details sneaking out, mostly on color grading. Looks like Color as an app is toast

Re: Thoughts on new FCP X Sneak Peek
Intriguingly the window in the disk burning screenshot is titled "Create a Blu-ray disc from your project." & the drop down menu is selecting from "MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-875 (AVCHD)" OR "Hard drive (Blu-ray)". Presumably without a Blu-ray drive in your Mac it creates an image of a Blu-ray disc.

Re: Thoughts on new FCP X Sneak Peek
About the when... forgot to mention that AVID is offering Mediacomposer to FCP users for 995 $... until June 17th. Maybe they know that a crossgrade won't be very attractive after FCP comes out on the 18th?
To be honest... I am tempted. There are some freelancers whose work I like who work with AVID and not FCP. oh - the link: http://www.avid.com/US/specialoffers/fcppromotion |
Re: Thoughts on new FCP X Sneak Peek
Avid is still such a tough NLE nut to crack, in my opinion, in terms of mastering it. I know guys that float between Avid and FCP, and I have the utmost respect for them.

Re: Thoughts on new FCP X Sneak Peek
I bet all these leaks are coming from training facilities. With a substantial release like this, I'm sure Apple wants training material to be available on day #1.
One thing I really notice is how empty the menus are. Doesn't say anything yet, but does make it look 'dumbed down'. |

Next week sounds about right. The WWDC announcements will be off the front page of most tech sites by then. |
Re: Thoughts on new FCP X Sneak Peek
Off topic, slightly: It's amazing how massive shows like WWDC, NAB, etc., can be old news within a week or so.
I still wouldn't be surprised if FCP X debuts on June 30. It's still June, and I think Apple's done something like that in the past. Heath |
