Apple has released a new Final Cut Studio Thursday, complete with over a hundred new features including some serious updates for Final Cut 7. A notable addition to the software is the increase in Apple’s ProRes codec family which allows for high quality footage to be manipulated
at SD file sizes. Another interesting advance in the Final Cut update is the ability to conduct reviews in real time via iChat video conferencing. Users can watch video edits together over a normal
internet connection while making changes on the fly with instant preview. That creates a significant increase in one’s workflow when collaborating with people remotely by taking out the need for any
rendering or web posting. Read about more of the new features within the updated Final Cut Studio here on Apples website.
