Me too! Kind of good news and possibly bad news at the moment ... hopefully we are within a time frame for a free update! Although I always seem to miss these things by a day.

I could almost guarantee it won't be free, this is apple after all. I bought FCS2 just 1 month before FCS3 came out and they won't do anything for me, apparently because it was education price

The best they could do was the store I bought it from offered me FCS3 at cost price

If this was Propeller Head or Steinberg there would be a 6 month grace period before the new version and if you bought in the grace period you would get the free upgrade. Outrageous apple, Outrageous

The current version is still Carbon based, so is 32 bit only, and doesn't take advantage of any key SL technologies like Grand Central Despatch and OpenCL, both of which would be very desirable for an application which needs as much performance as it can get, particularly with HD.

The new version should be Cocoa based and therefore able to be everything that the current version is not, but does require pretty much a full rewrite.

That's what I would be hoping for.

Didn't they just release FCS 3 ?

How can you call that abandoned ?

I also wonder about those constant rumors Apple would abandon video editing.

And whenever I ask for more specific information, there is none.

Sounds like Adobe wishing so intensely that everyone can hear it.
