Yeee-ha! Huge awesome news. Apple today unveiled Final Cut Pro 4 and it is crammed (crammed, I say) with hundreds (literally) of new features and improvements. Zowie! FCP 4 now features the brilliant Soundtrack (automated audio scoring), LiveType (amazing animatable titles, objects and textures!), Compressor (-duty file compression), RT Extreme (way more RealTime effects and output), and CinemaTools is now built-in (formerly an additional $999). FCP 4 will be out in June and already I can barely wait. Argh.
Apple also announced DVD Studio Pro 2 (now half-price!), Shake 3 and Logic 6 and they all appear to be majorly kick-butt new versions.
Maybe you'd want to add a handy-dandy editing controller as well, like the Bella keyboard with jog/shuttle wheel or the ShuttleXpress.
