  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

funny

That is kinda funny...

Final Cut Extreme is not new news though... It was actually mentioned by Apple as a "possibility" last year. But any pricing is all speculative at this point. I'm guessing that Final Cut Extreme will be a turn-key product if it's intended to compete with Avid. In other words, you pay $10K or more, but you get a tailored Mac Pro and XServe RAID setup along with the software. I don't see Apple offering a software package alone for that kind of money. Especially since they have been slashing prices on all their pro apps this past year - Shake down to $500, Final Cut Pro now bundled with all the studio apps for $1200, etc..
 
With a statement like this:

"Sources note that Apple's Final Cut Extreme announcement will coincide with Red's upcoming 4K digital cinema camera, a revolutionary piece of equipment that is said will be priced upwards of $200,000. Pricing for Final Cut Extreme is said to be similarly up-market, approaching $10,000 a seat, and will require the latest hardware from Apple."

How reliable do you really believe their rumor is?

Man, I knew I was getting a good deal when I put down my deposit. :)
 
Ha! I didn't catch the year either...

I just kept thinking the Final Cut Extreme rumor is old news... Hehe.
 
I agree. I kept thinking, "I've seen this a long time ago" then I'd look at the date (seeing 2007, of course) and feel like I was losing it. BenB over at DVX.User gave a pretty strong denial to Final Cut Extreme.
 
Well, no point in Final Cut Extreme... Unless it would be something like I mentioned above (a turn-key package). It would be cool if Apple would bundle a Mac Pro with a FC card and an XServe RAID and Final Cut Studio and give a package discount. Then let the customer configure it. I might just go for one of those. :)
 
Rumblings have also suggested Apple will release an even larger Cinema Display than the company's current flagship 30-inch display, one capable of supporting all 11+ million pixels a 4K camera (4520x2540 resolution) will be able to capture.
This may still be a possibility. Right? 60"?

Also, won't add-ons to Final Cut Pro make it able to edit 4K?

I read this long after NAB and thought they meant NAB 2007.
 
I hope they don't release Final Cut Extreme. They already have 3 video editing packages (iMovie, Final Cut Express, Final Cut Pro), and I don't think they would want to make another... They should just add 4K editing to Final Cut Pro (I think you can do it with some hack already).
 
That rumor was my first sight to the world of Red.
One year ago. Seems more time.
