This week's newsletter comes out a few hours before Apple's annual WWDC keynote. The internet is awash in rumors of what is "certain" to be announced, what is "impossible" to be announced and - generally - just guessing along with the rest of us. In a few hours, we'll all know.
I'm curious to see if Apple addresses concerns about Final Cut Pro. From Apple's perspective, FCP pales in relationship to operating systems and hardware. But, while FCP may not be a focus for Apple, it remains very important to us because we've built our businesses upon it. Personally, while I hope for news, I don't expect any. Not at WWDC. More likely toward the end of the summer. But, we shall see.
Thinking about Final Cut, I remain impressed with the depth and range of feature and enhancement requests for the program. Over the last two weeks you've added hundreds of ideas on how Final Cut can improve without becoming overly bloated. Here's the original article, along with the comments.
The news is a bit light this week:
FXFactory released Storm. This creates animated, volumetric 3D shapes and backgrounds using over 200 templates. It runs on After Effects, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro and Motion.
FXFactory also released Clean Slideshow, which converts a slide show into video using a variety of templates. Supports Final Cut Pro only.
