The good news: significant new features are available across the suite, including new flavors of the ProRes codecs (Apple’s HD video compression format), a new Easy Export feature that allows direct encoding and burning to DVD and Blu-ray from Final Cut Pro and Motion, as well as direct export and posting to MobileMe or YouTube. Also released is Final Cut Server 1.5 (which is not reviewed here). Not surprisingly, that approach seems to have been the driving force behind this new version of Final Cut Studio, which includes Final Cut Pro 7, Motion 4, Soundtrack Pro 3, Color 1.5, and Compressor 3.5. Most interesting is that this release comes just a step or two ahead of the planned debut of Snow Leopard, Apple’s hotly anticipated OS X update, in which the stated focus is less on sexy new features and more on stability, speed, productivity, and bug fixes. It has been more than two years since Apple released Final Cut Studio 2-but today, a new version of Apple’s marquee pro video editing package has arrived.
