… and it’s a jaw-dropper.
Last week, Apple invited a few folks, including me, to a short meeting in Cupertino where they previewed the up-coming version of Final Cut Pro.
While I am under NDA and can’t talk about what I saw, I CAN tell you the meeting happened and that it showcased the new Final Cut Pro.
While the invited crowd was small, it was a Who’s Who of leaders in the post-production community. I felt like I was standing on the red carpet at an awards show, watching all the stars walk past.
There will be LOTS to talk about as this project gets closer. For now, I recommend you subscribe to my monthly Final Cut Studio newsletter – because I’ll share all the news that I’m allowed to share in there first.
Tell your friends … its gonna be a great year.
Larry
P.S. If you feel the urge to email me for more information, keep in mind that Apple’s lawyers are bigger than your lawyers. So, until Apple lifts the NDA, I’m telling you all I can … for now.

64 bit was a given, since Adobe has already done that with CS5. Hardly a mention of Apple playing ‘catch-up’, as you so often hear when it’s the other way ’round.
“Seeing as we don’t know features yet, it is a bit early to start judging the quality of the program.’
But….it’s “jaw-dropping”??? What were you basing this quality assessment on…the 64 bit possibility?
I shot at a trade show for a large electronics manufacturer, and was paid with one of their spiffy new cameras so that I didn’t have to shoot the booth with a competitor’s camera. After the show, I posted a very honest review of the camera on a forum, and it wasn’t a very ‘glowing’ review. Within 20 minutes I was hammered with emails and calls from my client at the company, lambasting me and vowing to never hire me again.
Perhaps I should have just kept the review of the camera to ‘jaw-dropping’?
[…] wrote about the experience on his blog, but declined to provide any details, citing a non-disclosure agreement […]
That is a good sign of more good things to come!
waiting for the NAB in Vegas 🙂
Can it write scripts? Does it have a “compelling story-line” checker?
Hi Larry !
You talk about Final Cut Pro, but not about Final Cut Studio !!
Did you see also a preview of a new version of Motion ?
Thanks.
I come across this tidbit that may be of interest:
“Two versions are already running at beta level, one for Snow Leopard, and one for Lion,” said one report. “Some new features will only be available on Lion’s version, due to the changes made on QuickTime layer.”

I bet one of the minimum requirements is a 12-core computer with 64GB of RAM.
or
maybe it will utilize the cores more efficiently for speedier processing.
Before coming to the Mac world with Final Cut Studio, I edited a lot in Avid Liquid Edition, which used the resources of background rendering, which facilitated much of the work always have available, instead of every moment have to use the “option + R “, and significantly reducing the time for final rendering, which was six years ago to 60% less than the time of final rendering in Final Cut Studio.
Does Apple will finally use the full power of the processor, including background, with the new features of HT?
