Final Cut Pro is alive and well

My lips are sealed. Sorry for the tease, couldn't help myself.

I understand

It has been reported that Adobe will be releasing CS5 suite on April 10, 2010.

If this is right we should see it at NAB. That would be nice

So Adobe's release seems to be on the 10th and still no sight of FCP...

Alive and well meaning it's in a stabilized coma for now.

I wonder if it will be as buggy as CS4 was initially?

FCP will probs come towards June time but with some extreme updates and a UI overhaul in terms of its looks...maybe...

I can't see them hitting NAB since they did say no more road shows and they did come early this year with iPad announcement in comparison to Mac World so maybe right before NAB?

or...they wait for CS5...see what it brings, prep FCS for June with even better goodies and full integration of R3D!!

Alas...all dreams and speculation...be a shame though to see them miss this year for a release.

Steve has also said:
No one wants to watch videos on iPods
Flash media isn't a good choice for iPods
Apple's not working on a phone
Apple's not working on a Tablet
No one reads any more (oh, BTW have you seen our new tablet that would make an awesome eReader?)

Anything GPU accelerated I always assume is going to be buggy.

I've never encountered an app which added GPU acceleration to something that didn't take a good 3 years to shake out all the driver glitches (if ever).

Hopefully CUDA/OpenCL will solve this.

It is interesting to see CS5 take over the Corel Draw style of painting, to bad I have already upgraded to Painter 11, but I guess I can always sale it if CS5 delivers on that, as I use it a lot on my Photos, and would love to stay more in one application.

New Warping loks great.

As I just also started studying FCP would not be funny to see FCP fail to stay up in the upgrades, and have to switch to Premiere, but I guess better switch in early.

Will see..
