Final Cut Pro 6 To Debut At NAB? Final Cut Extreme Too? [Updated]
Final Cut Pro 6 has been rumored to bring 5.1 surround sound editing, 1080/24p and 1080/30p DVCPROHD support (Update: Those original specifications appear to already have made it into Final Cut Pro 5.1). ThinkSecret adds that the extra development time has afforded Apple to enhance Final Cut's realtime video editing engine with Core Animation technology.
Lastly, ThinkSecret reports that the high-end Final Cut Extreme targeting Avid users will also make its debut at NAB. Little is known about the product at this time, but it is said to be a hardware and software solution with a pricetag near $10,000.

(View all)Final Cut Extreme sounds interesting... $10,000 is a little steep though, even with a device like 'The Mojo' Avid offers.
pricetag near $10,000.
all I can say is wow...that sucks...i'm not gonna be able to afford that for a loooonng time
**Homer style "Doh!!!"**
A hardware/software combo for the extreme version would make sense. The ultra high powered 8-core system with a highly optimised final cut.
I can but dream...
ThinkSecret believes that Final Cut Pro 6 will finally make its debut at NAB, which takes place April 14-19. The software was originally expected at last year's NAB which instead saw the release of the 17" MacBook Pro.

Now we're talking..... Real-time video edition integrated with Core Animation, and Extreme for high-end rendering...... can hardly wait:p
I have a terrible feeling that updated mac pros are going to be announced... Terrible, as I ordered mine last week... :rolleyes:

You can still cancel the order if you'd rather hold out......

I may just do that... man after all that waiting I thought I had come to a decision!!!
I think I'll have to agree to Mike Curtis' take on this rumor over at HD4Indies.

And an 8 Core Mac Pro For Extreme Fun! :eek: :) 1080/24p and 1080/30p DVCPROHD is already supported in the 5.1.2 update isn't it?
Yes... story updated to reflect that. Looks like in the end we don't have too much information on FCP6 other than the fact that its coming at NAB, and should have a Core Animation enhanced engine.
