At NAB event, Apple to unveil new Final Cut Pro?

It's been a while since the last major version of Apple's Final Cut Pro video editing software, but that change at next week's annual National Association of Broadcasters show. A new report fromProVideoCoalition says Apple plans on "taking over" the tenth annualSuperMeet event taking place next Tuesday to announce a new version of the software.

The proof there is that some SuperMeet sponsors, including Canon and Avid were purportedly told by event organizers that Apple had chosen SuperMeet as its venue to make the announcement,(Dell inspiron 6400 battery) and blocked out all stage time for its introduction. In Canon's case, ProVideoCoalition says that resulted in the cameramaker canceling its appearance, and Avid getting its sponsorship cancelled.

That does not appear to be the case for all sponsors though. Blackmagic, which is also slated as a sponsor of the event aimed at video editors on Final Cut Pro and other editing platforms, told CNET that it was indeed still participating, and had its "usual booth there and are very excited about the event, as always." The same went for AutoDesk, which said that it did not plan to present on the main stage, but would be participating in the SuperMeet Digital Showcase.

Canon, Avid, AJA, Apple and the SuperMeet event organizers did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Apple's Final Cut Pro made its debut at NAB in 1998, before being released as a product the following year. The software has a history of April releases, though its last major version came in July of 2009. The software itself hasn't been a standalone product for quite a bit longer though, instead being wrapped up as part of Apple's Final Cut Studio suite (Toshiba pa3384u-1brs battery), which bundles together Final Cut Pro with Motion, DVD Studio and Soundtrack Pro, as well as the Color and Compressor applications. Apple also offers a standalone, though less feature-filled version of the software called Final Cut Express, which sits between Final Cut Pro and the iMovie software that's included as part of Apple's iLife suite.

Reports began circulating in late February that Apple was nearing completion on a complete overhaul of the software that would bring Final Cut Pro into the 64-bit era, and more importantly a release this spring. That report fromTechCrunch, which cited anonymous sources, said that the design was both under the hood and sporting a new user interface.

Final Cut Pro is of special interest given the direction Apple's iMovie application has taken over the past few iterations. When first offered, iMovie managed to get some trickle-down features from its more advanced siblings. But Apple has taken iMovie in new directions by offering an alternative to traditional, multi-track video timelines and the visual editing tools that surround them. While that's managed to play well to devices like theiPhone,iPod Touch andiPad where iMovie can now be had as a touchscreen application, questions remain about whether such an editing style would work its way up into a pro version of the software.
