Apple said:Apple today released Final Cut Express 4, a significant upgrade to its powerful video editing software based on Apples award-winning Final Cut Pro 6, with a new low price of $199. Final Cut Express 4 adds support for the latest AVCHD cameras, allows mixing of standard and high definition content on a single timeline, includes the ability to import iMovie 08 projects, and gives users access to hundreds of sophisticated FxPlug cinematic effects and filters. Almost a million digital filmmakers have made Final Cut their editing application of choice, said Rob Schoeben, Apples vice president of Applications Product Marketing. With the introduction of Final Cut Express 4, Apple makes it easy for anyone to join the rapidly growing community of Final Cut editors worldwide.
Geesh! 12 days ago, I splurge for the iMac, iTV, airport extreme, new printer, applecare, .mac acct, AND FCE 3.5 at full retail of $299.... And I've had to return my iMac due to the gradient issue (on my 2nd iMac now...it's sweet).
My point is, I paid $300 for the software, and now I have to pay another $99 to get the up to date version for a total cost of $400? And I haven't even had a chance to use it due to the iMAc exchange....
Any chance that I could return it? Get FCE4 and $100 iRebate?![]()

anyone know why they push the .mac on you no matter what you tell them.
UK page still not updated, showing FCE 3.5.
My guess is the UK price will end up being £149. Not bad I guess.
• Recommend customers use GarageBand (in iLife ’08) to produce loop-based soundtracks, while also offering greater music production capabilities. GarageBand offers more features than Soundtrack. Soundtrack Pro is included with Final Cut Studio."
Does FCE provide DVD authoring?
