There are some first impressions of FCS 2 cropping up.

There is a thread about Color (apparently it ships w/a ton of release notes and doesn't look quite ready for prime time) over at creativecow.net (http://forums.creativecow.net/viewforum/8). The complete list of release notes can be found here (http://www.apple.com/support/releasenotes/en/Color_1.0_rn/).

There are a couple of threads at dvinfo.net (http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/forumdisplay.php?f=30) by member James Miller. He looks at ProRes briefly as well as posting about being able to view various codecs (including HDV and ProRes) on an NTSC monitor via Firewire.

EDIT: Just so we don't have a dozen FSC2 threads cropping up I figure we can try and keep all the info in a single thread as people either get first hand experience and/or find info across the net.

"Color does not support anamorphic display of standard definition media. Anamorphic media is displayed with a 4:3 aspect ratio regardless of the anamorphic settings in the originating Final Cut Pro sequence."

OUCH... that one hurts as I shoot just about everything anamorphic.

hopefully that'll be fixed soon in an update.
