Now Available: Final Cut Studio 2

Apple Inc. has now released its latest version of the professional film editing software Final Cut Studio. This collection of applications are used all over the world by Hollywood film makers and Corporate video creators alike. The Studio suite includes:

• Final Cut Pro 6 - Create time lines with virtually any video format
• Motion 3 - Add attractive 3D effects to your videos
• Soundtrack Pro 2 - Add music in to time line and professionally synchronise video and sound changes
• Color - Improve the quality of your videos with state-of-the-art colour grading
• Compressor - Save your work in to any video format
• DVD Studio Pro 4 - Master the perfect DVD for your SD or HD projects

This software directly competes with the upcoming Adobe Production Premium suite, which provides equal functionality to Final Cut Sudio. The main downside of Final Cut is that it works only on Apple computers. Not on the Windows-based PCs. Therefore this is one method Apple is using to attract customers to use its own computer systems. However, Adobe's suite of production applications run on Windows. It is yet to be seen if Final Cut Studio will make the cut, or if Adobe will beat them to it.

In Sri Lanka - Final Cut Studio 2 may be available from the authorized Apple dealer in Sri Lanka. But Adobe is likely to win the Sri Lankan market, since hardly anyone has a Mac computer in Sri Lanka. And I doubt that half those idiotic film makers know that such software exists. They can't even make a film properly, let alone special effects, good sound and proper editing. Good luck to Apple, anyway.
