Final Cut 6 to usher in new video editing era for Apple
by ThinkSecret.com

Apple is preparing to make a huge splash at the National Association of Broadcasters trade show this year, Think Secret has learned. Preliminary information from sources suggests that Apple will take advantage of the April show to demonstrate Final Cut Pro 6 to the public for the first time. [?]

Specific features of the new video editing software are less known at this point, although native editing of 5.1 surround sound in both Final Cut Pro 6 and the new version of Soundtrack Pro is said to be nearing completion. Final Cut Pro 6 will also support 1080/24p and 1080/30p DVCPROHD, sources said. While Apple has officially thrown its support behind Blu-ray, the new version of DVD Studio Pro should support burning to both Blu-ray discs and HD-DVD.

There is nothing in the specs for FCP 6 about AVCHD compatibility. I’m not going to jump to conclusions, I just hope that they resolve this issue that the manufacturers of the camcorders brought to the table prematurely.

Think Secret just posted another article about Apple showcasing FCP 6 at NAB and why the delay.
