“Apple® today announced that Mac OS® X v10.6 Snow Leopard™ will go on sale Friday, August 28 at Apple’s retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers, and that Apple’s online store is now accepting pre-orders. Snow Leopard builds on a decade of OS X innovation and success with hundreds of refinements, new core technologies and out of the box support for Microsoft Exchange. Snow Leopard will be available as an upgrade for Mac OS X Leopard® users for $29. Mac OS X is renowned for
its simplicity, its reliability, and its ease of use. So when it came to designing Snow Leopard, Apple engineers had a single goal: to make a great thing even better. They searched for areas to refine, further simplify, and speed up — from little things like ejecting external drives to big things like installing the OS. In many cases, they elevated great to amazing.” Source
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.
Apple’s iPhone 3G S introduced something that the YouTube generation has been waiting impulsively for — the ability to shoot, edit, and publish video from the palms of our hands. With the introduction of Flip cameras we had the initial portability for HD capture, but lacked any editing abilities without a computer connection.
This new iPhone has an iMovie style clip editing software package on the touch screen for instant resizing and playback of captured video. Even better than onscreen editing is the iPhone’s ability to sync your shots back onto your home computer without that annoying USB connection. The blogging and client approval possibilities thus are endless when you can publish edited clips straight from set.
“Google said Thursday that in the first five days since the [iPhone] hit the market, its YouTube video sharing website saw a 400% increase in the number of video uploads coming from mobile handsets.” Watch Apple’s video tutorial, and check this page of graphic comparisons between the 3GS and the UltraHD for specs.

studiodaily published a neat tutorial a couple months back about how to use Telestream’s Episode presets within Apple Compressor to encode so you don’t have to export a QuickTime out of Final Cut before encoding. Very handy!
