if you read about FCP-X it shows you can burn directly to DVD/Blu Ray from FCP....Wonder if that means Blu-Ray drives WILL in fact be coming to the Mac....and burning directly from FCP is a NICE touch! 
Got a tip for us?

Apple Announces Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5, and Compressor 4 Available Today

Interesting to see Apple has removed Final Cut Express from it's software lineup (certainly on www.apple.com/mac/). Still available on the store.
It requires 10.6.7 because it requires the App Store
Nope. The App Store came out in 10.6.6 so if you were right THAT would be the minimum number.
The requirement clearly has other reasons behind it.
Just pretend everyone else had to 499 for it. 299 is a stunning price whether you're a pro, hobbyist or student.
This... doesn't seem good. At all. Obviously I've only been playing with it for half an hour but I haven't liked much about it. I'm hoping when I reinstall FCP Studio it will allow both to exist so I can continue playing with X.
compressor has always worked without FCP, and now it is even sold seperately so my bet is yes.
Just bought all three apps so will check it out ASAP

All three are built in now ... but no one seems sure what features of those three made it in or got dropped.
Why? Do you really want them to say "normal price is $900 but you can have it for; not $800, not even $700, but only $600 ladies and gentlemen! Until stocks last"....like some cheesy 50's ad....
NO MULTICAM EDITING FOR NOW???
this is an absolute NO GO for me. At least for version 10.0 !
"Does Final Cut Pro X support Multicam/Multicamera switching?
At the initial release of version 1, Final Cut Pro X does not have a multicamera editing feature, a.k.a. multicam. I was told that Apple have, with Final Cut Pro X, been re-examining everything to work out how to reimagine and improve it. Multicam will come in a future release, when Apple decide how best to implement it within the new application and architecture."

Anyone know if FCPX will support AVCHD Lite? I see it supports all the Panasonic AVC-Intra specs but can't tell if it will support the output from my Leica D-Lux 5 directly.
I'm not complaining so much as just... downgrading and trying to forget what I'm seeing.
Dude, they already have, its called iMovie
(not saying FCPX is like a better version of iMovie, just saying i doubt apple think there is enough of a gap between those 2)
That made no sense to me. Here is a phrase you'll hear a LOT:
"At first I thought I wouldn't like it, BUT..." - predictable and imminent. May take some longer than others, but I doubt you will dislike it for long.
Your implication is that there's something "wrong" with iMovie, and there certainly isn't. Horses for courses. iMovie users are going to take to this much quicker than plain old FCE/FCP users, I feel; we have a headstart on the UI and workflow
Purchased Motion 5 alone. The included templates are few and you can not use the MOtion 4 templates.
This is what bothers me - it seems to include far less templates, and probably media... I remember installing quite a few DVDs for FCS2. Anyone think there willbe a way to get that kind of content for the new version?
I would buy it but no Mac Store in Leopard
FAIL!
Spend an extra $29 and get Snow Leopard.
Will hold off for now. While some features are definitely worth upgrading - here are some that make we want to wait
1) no side by side support. I don't understand why you can't have FCP and FCP X both installed. Can you have both Motions installed?
2) Previous motion templates not functional
3) no multicam support
4) cannot easily import previous projects.
Now all of these could be handled by having both versions installed. But that's also not exactly "user friendly"...
I'm sure some/all of these will be resolved. I hope anyway. But until there's progress there. I'll wait. As tempting as it might be.

Question
Can someone tell me if this overwrites final cut pro 7 or is this a stand alone app. Kind of like when the newer version of iMovie came out. The older version was still available to use
What I'm hoping for is that I can continue to use FCP 7 for my older projects and use FCP X for new/less critical projects.
Thanks!

I hope a similar upgrade for aperture is in the works.
The new final cut looks really nice.. Unfortunately no matter what Apple does with it people will bitch. If they don't add enough features then "Apple doesn't care about the pro users" and if they don't streamline any features then "Apple has bloated software."
As always though, a poor artist blames his tools.

One can only hope! If Blu-Ray does come to the Mac, it'll only come to the desktops though (Mac Pro, iMac and Mac Mini). Realistically I don't think it'll ever come to the Mac due to licencing and technical issues.
