Apple releases Final Cut Studio 2
29/05/07 15:26
Apple has begun
shipping Final Cut Studio 2, the video and film
editing software thats becoming industry standard
thanks to very fine features previously unavailable
in video systems under $100,000.
Final Cut Studio 2 contains the new Final Cut Pro 6.0, a new edition of Motion, a new edition of Soundtrack Pro and a new application named Color.
Many of the features in Final Cut Studio are to an extent possible in Apples consumer oriented suite iLife, for example, Garageband is perfectly suited for adding soundtracks and narration to video files of the mpeg4 or mov variety, also iMovie HD provides some of the special effects, cutting, splicing and transition effects that Final Cut Pro offers.
The simple way to learn if Final Cut Studio is right for you is to ttry using iLife for your video production needs, if you feel you're bumping your head off ceilings then I heartily recommend picking up a copy of Final Cut Studio at the Apple store, of course you can find it on amazon too, but either of these places are great because they offer long return policies (check what they are before purchasing) and allow you to change your mind after a week or two of using the software.
I'd love to hear success stories from people using iLife or Final Cut to make movies, so if you have some, email me, brendan@auburncom.com.
