I’m headed for a plane in a few hours, but the news is already starting to flow out of NAB in Las Vegas. Apple announced the release of Final Cut Studio 2, including upgrades to FCP, Motion, Sound Track Pro, and Compressor, plus the inclusion of Color, which was acquired from Silicon Touch. DVD Studio Pro seems to remain at version 4, which is a little surprising; many expected HD-DVD or Blu-Ray announcements from Cupertino this NAB.

Apple also announced Final Cut Server, a multi-user asset management and workflow app that I believe comes from the acquisition of Proximity.

Anyway, good stuff to see. I’ll report more from Vegas once I’m on the ground there.
