64-bit?<br><br>

Are you saying it will be 64-bit? <br><br>If it is, then I will definately splurge and get it.<br><br>

Yes, 64-bit.<br>Here is more info:<br><br>"Final Cut Pro 5 will require Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and will take advantage of the new Core Video technology, which functions as a bridge between QuickTime and a supported video card to deliver hardware-accelerated video processing. All real-time filters are being moved to Core Video support to deliver increased performance, for example, and Core Video should enable new real-time filters to be delivered, such as real-time HD color correction on moving footage.<br><br>Final Cut Pro 5 is also being built completely around the QuickTime 7 architecture. Final Cut Pro 5's dependence on Tiger means the software likely will not ship for up to two months after its introduction. There is always a small chance Tiger will be introduced alongside Final Cut Pro 5, as well.<br><br>Other features of Final Cut Pro 5 will include support for more than two tracks of audio, as well as multicam support. Also given is compatibility with HD video, like iMovie HD and Final Cut Express HD support.<br><br>Also rumored to be introduced with Final Cut Pro 5 is distributed rendering, although sources said this may not arrive until a later date. Originally slated for Final Cut Pro 4.5, distributed rendering would allow multiple systems to work together to render video. Technologies like Xsan, which started shipping in January, make this a far more realistic feature to build support for."<br><br>

10.5 will take longer to come along, because let's face it - we're running out of big cats... top-level board meetings soon to discuss: hmm... Serval Server is too confusing - Caracal? Too foreign... etc. etc. Maybe it's time to switch species? How about: OSX 10.5 - Spoonbill?<br><br>- padmavyuha<br><br>Where the truth is, there had better be love...
