Apple Ships Final Cut Server

Apple is now shipping Final Cut Server.

For the past few months weve been using a beta of Final Cut Server to manage our entire workflow pipeline, 24/7, and it held up beautifully, said Evan Schechtman, CTO of Radical Media. Best of all, Final Cut Server integrates seamlessly with our home-grown solutions so its actually adding new value to systems weve relied on for years.


Announced nearly one year ago at the 2007 NAB conference, Final Cut Server provides professional asset management with tight integration with Final Cut Studio. The product was originally scheduled to ship in "Summer 2007" but has seen extensive delays.

Final Cut Server is available immediately through the Apple Store, Apples retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers for $999 (US) for one server and 10 concurrent client licenses, and $1,999 (US) for one server and unlimited client licenses.

This is a ripe market that has no serious contenders. It'll be interesting to see how this holds up - if it's even close to what the hype is (or was), they've definitely got a winner.

They HAVE to take the store down so they can update the Online Store and update their servers. They don't have much of a choice, plus some people might be looking forward to this and the sticker note saying the store is down has kind of become their way of "letting people know" that there is something new. It raises excitement. Sorry they let you down! haha! At least you aren't waiting for something specific that was rumored to come out today and then it didn't (so far)! hahaha!

I just want 10.5.3 after hearing about all these quick seeds! I am sure it's just security and bug fixes, but who doesn't like fixes like those? People always post "There aren't major changes, just bug fixes and added security, so why are you so impatient?"

Well, personally this things are more important to me then adding the ability to make the Menu Bar opaque(which I NEVER use). Bug fixes and added security are the MOST IMPORTANT kind of updates to an Operating System IMO! I can wait for months for new Stacks behavior, but when I get random crashes of Safari or other bugs like that, then I want those ASAP. Just my 2 cents.

So is this brand new app 64 bit (cocoa)?

If not, why not?

And when will we finally see the rest of the pro apps getting that update?
