Final Cut Studio Update Due in Late April?
While Apple won't be attending NAB, those familiar with the company's plans say it holds ambitions of debuting a new version of Final Cut Studio, currently late in its development stage, at or around the same time the conference kicks off during the third week of April. Further details weren't provided.
Apple had been a regular participant at NAB, announcing a number of Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Studio releases there, put pulled out of the 2008 conference as part of their continuing shift away from trade shows and conferences.
Previous reports had pointed to a possible Final Cut Studio update at a rumored March 24th media event that had initially surfaced as a possibility for hardware releases. With the introduction of new iMacs, Mac minis and Mac Pros on March 3rd and yesterday's announcement of an iPhone OS 3.0 media event on March 17th, a March 24th event is looking increasingly unlikely.

I'm still learning FCS2, I'm glad they still care for the pro apps, I thought Apple just made phone software;)
Totally!
Good to know they still have an interest.
I too am still getting to grips with FCS2.
Now, what would be REALLY cool is support for OpenCL when Snow Leopard hits. Can you imagine what that could do to rendering/encoding times? Apple would nuke the competition!
Or revamp their lacking trim-mode....
Or allow users to "Apply to ALL" when setting scratch disks....
but probably not
Frankly if FSC doesn't have Blu-Ray burning support I won't really care. FCS 2 is working great for me except for not being able to burn to HD media.
Note that one of the March 24 rumors somewhat supports this rumor.
According to Sevenmac, a new version of Final Cut Studio currently exists as an internal beta. The beta version, however, is reported to be buggy, which could force Apple to delay the special event by several weeks.
The AppleInsider report also has a detail on an upcoming version of Aperture.
Another Pro app due for an update is Aperture, with the last 2.0 reference release delivered last February. Aperture is unique among Apple's headlining Pro Apps in that rather than being based on an acquired title and simplified for inclusion in iLife, it was developed internally at Apple as a professional version of iPhoto. The new version will introduce native 64-bit support, mitigating one of the advantages held by Adobe with its rival Photoshop Lightroom software, which gained 64-bit support late last July.
Or allow users to "Apply to ALL" when setting scratch disks....
Do you mean "Apply to Selected Project Only"? Apply to All is the current behavior for scratch disks.

No, I mean when you're in System Settings it should have a button you can click to apply the Scratch Disk, Waveform Cache, Thumbnail Cache, and Autosave Vault to ONE FOLDER instead of having to click "Set" for each one.
Actually, why can't FCP just be more like Avid....
:D
