Apple Pro Application Support 3.1

I'm not seeing any changes in FCP...

 

[Truffy]

Compressor comes bundled with FCP 4 & DVDSP 2, and its used for video and audio compression, I believe.

I think plastique45 may have meant "Fix WHAT in Compressor", rather than "What is Compressor".

There is a plague of problems if you visit the apple support page and look under the FCP section

Isn't that like going to a hospital and commenting on how everyone you see seems to be in need of medical attention?

hmmm FCP crashed on me after update.

Working fine now..... just wished i would of saved

Er...you ran the update while FCP was running, and had a project open? Never a good idea.

Ah gotcha... well, for anyone else who didn't know...

If Apple built OS X like their Pro apps...

Apple's Pro apps seem so slick and feature full. Just look at Aperture. Wouldn't it be good to see them apply those qualities to the Finder, Mail, Address Book, etc?...

Nice idea! Fancy paying pro prices for Finder, Mail, Address Book, etc?... no, neither do I!

I'd rather have 80% of features with a fast and intuitive UI and use 'pro' like stuff (feature full) when I need them (that's what Apple is about) ...

You forgot about FCE HD

Apple has also posted Pro Application Support 3.1 update.

The 6.1MB download is described as follows:



It is recommend for users of Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Pro, Motion, Soundtrack Pro, DVD Studio Pro, Soundtrack, Logic Pro and Logic Express.

Final Cut Express HD is also serviced by this update.

My eMac recognised the update, so I guess it isnt just for PMs...

 

[DrNeroCF]

I wanna see some numbers of the quad core eating video in FCP!

Wait... no I don't... it would make my powerbook cry...

There is no way they could have developed all this at once...

Yeah they only have one development team...

(its not like Apple spends over 500 million dollars a year on research and development)

The products just released have been under development for 9+ months and many much longer then that. Also many of them have been targeted for release in time for the rapidly approaching holiday season.

do they have enough manufacturing facilities to meet demand?

...yes, part constraints are usually the issue they are hit with.

at this point OS X 10.5 will be out by Christmas! We will be on Intel by New Years!

Don't expect 10.5 until late 2006 or more likely 2007. Intel not until 2nd quarter 2006.

Somebody stop them PLEASE! I am afraid to buy anything!

Now is likely the best time to buy stuff... right after release you are basically assured that you will have the current product for the next several months (if you are that worried about it). Personally I buy when I need with an ear/eye out for likely dates of new releases.

I was having a terrible problem with DVD Studio Pro 3 - it crashed any time I added video to it (which made it, of course, useless) this started after the last Quicktime Update.

I installed the Pro update last night and it DSP works completely fine now. So, there is some kind of bug squashing in the update for sure.

Final Cut Express HD is also serviced by this update.

Yep. After installing FCE HD on my iMac last night the Pro App Support update showed up in Software Update.
