Final Cut Server at DVinfo.net

Nate Benson · November 27th, 2007, 12:42 AM

Is anyone using this? I'm curious how this could improve my workflow, if at all.
Right now I'm working on a 1, possibly 2 year documentary, and potentially could get hired exclusively by this client when I graduate. Granted I'm organized, I'm curious if FCS would be a help, or a hinder.

I'm curious to see what people, who use this, have to say.

It's not out yet, as far as I know. Lots of folks are waiting on this app. There are some places where it's being tested at the moment.

well that solves that then.
I know it was announced early in 07', I would have imagined it would have been out by now. Thanks.

Seems they are testing it more than Leopard, or Final Cut Studio 2. To bad they did not do that with the OS and FCS.

I talked one of the Apple engineers working on the project a few weeks ago at DVexpo. He said it should be coming out in December or January. The iPhone, Leopard, and a few other projects are took priority.

He also told that CNN's HQ in Atlanta was switching from AVID to FCP.

Is this true? If it is - cool. Now any FCP editor could now tell clients, "I use the same editing system as CNN..."

CNN's VP confirmed this for me at the HD Expo in NY a few months back.
