Final Cut Express 2.0 at MWSF?
According to reports, Apple will be announcing a new version of Final Cut Express (2.0) at MacWorld Expo.
Apple has already started shipping the new product and the new version is appearing at local Comp USA stores. CompUSA's are not to display the new packaging until January 6, 2004 (the day of the MacWorld SF Keynote).
Final Cut Express 2.0 is expected to retail for $299.99 with a 2.0 Upgrade for $99.99.
Other Apple Software updates are expected. Rumor roundup to follow in the coming days.
Update: This update is consistent with previous expectations from ThinkSecret

Having just gotten FCP 4, it will be interesting to see if I will be regretting my purchase.
Perhaps Apple will be including ultra-lite versions of Soundtrack and Livetype?

Apple seems to using the formats and bundled Apps as the differentiator. DOn't expect HD or Movie quality 24FPS on Express. Too, Soundtrack and eventually Livetype will always be a seperate cost while FCP buys you everything.

Makes sense to have an update, because apple has really been pushing FCE for only $99 with a new mac for a few months now.

I have yet to use FCE, but I am glad I have it.
One thing that might make me choose FCP over an FCE upgrade is the added software like Livetype and Soundtrack.

I am so tired of being burnt by Apple in the Higher Education world. I am one of the few lone community college professors who still believe that Apple is holding in the creative markets. To that end, we will be teaching FCE to our entry level students.
Before the holidays, I just sent Apple a huge license for FCE and now they are going to ship version 2. In the past, Apple says..."To bad!" and we'll have to spend more money getting the newer license.
Macromedia burned us too with this MX and MX2004 fiasco this past summer too.
You know what's interesting about the whole world of Higher Education and technology...Microsoft is the only company that is not screwing us and will glady give their new FrontPage 2003 software license to one of our labs and across campus.
While I'm not a huge FP2003 or MS fan at that, I can tell you that Apple better look before it moves in the Higher Education world. I am of the belief that Higher Ed is the last remaining places you'll see Macs in large numbers. They've lost the K12 market to Dell and that will never be regained. But if Apple does not give colleges free updates when there is less than a month in the purchase process, then I'm willing to look the other way at other vendors who are more, shall I say, budget friendly.

I hope that they will improve the capturing process with batch capturing.

What I would like to see is a recent FC revision that would work well on my G3... but I know it will never happen. At least it's nice to know that I'll have options when it's time to upgrade.
