Hardware requirements?
Seen the hardware requirements for Final Cut Pro 4? A 350 MHz G4... also AGP required.
Is there a 350 MHz G4 with AGP? Don't think so.
Why not just state: AGP equipped G4 with DVD ROM.
Whatever!
It's looking BRILLIANT!

dvd sp 2 and the compressor really look like the two top features for my uses...
batch compression through something more reliable (assuming) than cleaner would be great....
looking good.

i'm not sure how that answers his question.....
what i'd say is that shake has always required a 3 button mouse, even before this version. so when they released shake for mac earlier, they would've probably made 3 button mouse standard then, if they were going to make such a move
anyone who uses shake or maya or other 3 button requiring apps can certainly deal with buying their own 3 button mouse. and i would guess most would buy their own even if apple gave them one, as they'd want theirs to be whichever one they like best, not all wanting the same one...

Shakes a specialist app that requires it... OSX doesn't!!
Option maybe!!
Thanks iGav.
Also, I didn't notice firewire 800 support. Did I miss something?
Re: Hardware requirements?
Actually there is. When Apple first announced the PowerMac G4 it was 400/450/500, but production problems forced them to revise the lineup to 350/400/450, with the 350 as the Yikes! model (PCI video). Eventually Apple replaced the PCI Video with AGP video, but that was before they upped the PowerMac G4 back to 400/450/500 models.

Ick. That UI looks like three steps backward. Hello to Windows 2000. If this is what all the complaining about brushed metal gets us, I wished we'd kept our yaps shut.
Dude, I wasn't bitching. If you had read my post, you would have noticed how excited I am that Apple announced these fine new products. As for my comment about the release dates, I should have elaborated. I'm working on a comprehensive documentary this summer, and it would be great to have all the software by June. Just calm down, dude.
Now, to get back on topic....
Does anyone know what the Maintenence fee for Shake is for? Does Apple have to physically check your equipment to make sure it's running the software properly?
I supect FW 800 support has more to do with cameras that use FW 800 than anything else. I don't think the FW SDK interface gives any clue what speed it is operating at. That is for the host controller to handle.
So for FCP to support a FW800 camera would only require a driver for the camera. FCP wouldn't need to know anything about the speed of the bus.
Are there any cameras out there with FW800?

Great find, I'm surprised nobody's commented on it yet.
Honestly, I don't know. However, remember the floating dock items? This wouldn't surprise me one bit.
At a Final Cut Pro seminar I attended, Apple techies recommended that anyone serious about using FCP get a third-party multi-button mouse. I think that Apple has not seemed interested in pushing their own multi-button mouse because it would go against their "simplicity" goals. I think they'd rather let those who crave convenience over simplicity upgrade mice on their own.
Re: wow seems everyone missed this....
DVD Studio Pro is a professional App. iDVD is already included with iLife so I doubt they'd at a 500 dollar app. to a consumer oriented bundle. I thought that maybe they'll have great new hardware with some awsome hardware based dvd encoding in August to use with DSP 2. Ugh, can't wait to find out. I feel like I'm wishing my life away...aways wishing it were the future.

Has anyone else thought it odd that dsp 2 isn't comming out till august? Maybe becuase they want to include it in Ilife when they start selling 970's?

But you'll notice that the Finder icons don't go outside of the area implied by the menu bar either, so I'm inclined to think that they just used FCP to expand the background out for their movies. Probably an asthetic decision.

Don't know, its quite nice actually, very professional compared to that tacky brushed metal crap.

Actually the first gen of Sawtooth G4 had AGP and a 350 G4. I know, cause it was my first G4!Originally posted by MacsRgr8

You are probably right about that, but did you notice that the Apple from the Apple Menu is grey/silver in the DVD Studio Pro screenshot?

Welcome back themes??? Maybe.
P.S. I don't know how to include a picture in this post, so the link is the best I can do.
Re: FINALLY, reasonable DVD Studio Pro pricing
yeah, but apple has still got to learn currency cenversion in europe. they actually ask for 1799.- Swiss Francs CHF for DVDSP 2!! But with the current currency exchange this makes 678.65 CHF (499$ * 1.36$/CHF).
For that pricetag i can fly firstclass to new york and buy that thing overseas!! come on!
btw. i love DVDSP ... that's why i'm so disappointed
