Final Cut Studio 2

-Motion now supports 3D
-New software for color-correction
-Final Cut Pro gets "Open Timeline", which will accept multiple formats <i>and frame rates</i>.


I haven't really had the chance to edit on FCP much beyond my most recent AMV, but this is some exciting shit. Surely the other 3 or 4 people using FCP here will agree :P

I've been using FCP in all of my video classes. As far as it's logging/bin setup, it works wonders if you're editing an original film. But as far as a raw editing program....... I'm not impressed :| ....

Really? Works pretty much like a more intuitive Premiere IMO. What are you comparing to?

Premiere. I'm sure it has more to do with how much I'm used to Premiere vs. how much I'm used to FCP (been using Premiere for 8 years, been using FCP for a month). But, how FCP handles certain things (like clip placement, clip adjustment, etc.) seems much more suitable for editing a film. I can't imagine ever editing a music video in it...

Yes, it has. I should know, I used it for my new vid ;-) The version included in Studio 2 is Motion 3.

i completely agree. for me, Premiere can do the fine tuning more efficiently and quickly. I ended up doing a music video for my FCP editing class and i could've finished it a lot faster in Premiere. It's a nice program, and if i had it, id use it for a short film or something of that nature, but for MVs, i'll stick with what i have.
