Final Cut Pro 6, Final Cut Extreme Details? Displays (again)?

32-bit & 64-bit

Yep was thinking the same.

Our main mac used for video editing our projects is an iMac Core Duo and a MacBook when on the field.

Whilst I do have a mac pro it is never ever used for video editing, only the occasional Motion project.

Video editing generally doesnt have such need for really high technical specifications so I'm very skeptical about this requirement for 64 bit processor. Surely apple wouldnt be so silly as to cut out a huge market.

If they are, then they have lost me - as I simply will stick with Fincal Cut Studio.

We'll likely see a universal, if you will, version which supports both 32-bit and takes advantage of 64-bit processors.....

You'll need the Blu-ray drive...for the 10.5 software disc!

These extremely fat binaries (four complete images in each file - for 32-bit and 64-bit for both PPC and Intel) will fill a two layer DVD rather quickly

Well my work was going to get a new system for our second edit suite, but if we can get an 8 core mac pro with hardware accellerated FCP at NAB then that will go in my suite and they can have my quad in the other suite

*Crosses fingers and toes that NAB will be a big one this year*

Even if these things are announced at NAB I wouldn't expect them to be shipping for a couple of months. And even once they are shipped it'll be a couple more months for the first point upgrade to come and fix the bugs in the initial release. So hopefully you weren't planning on getting a new machine anytime soon.

Final Cut 5.1 came with 9 DVD's... adding a couple more isn't going to make a difference for them. I can definitely see this as a possibility. This way they keep it working on older machines, while using the latest pro machines at the full potential.
