Wow, another video that smacks us over the head with a piece of information about FCP & FCPX that leaves us stunned. Looks like Apple thought their completed 64bit FCP8 was a dead end.

Check this out if you want to get the latest buzz on the new FCP and what's going to be what in NLE in the near future.

It started with a tweet from @editorslounge and by the end of the day had grown into the biggest piece of Final Cut Pro news since Larry Jordan dropped his jaw.

One thing we do know about FCP8 - Is Get included or not?

get_not_in_FCP8

We were the first to break the news about the dialogue search software 'Get' having its price halved from $499 to $249. This led to a few rumours about Get being incorporated into the new 'Jaw dropper' Final Cut Pro 8.

Apple bumps Build to Order RAM on MacPro's up to 64Gig. Are we getting ready for something?

64_gig_ram_macpro

You can now buy a MacPro from the online Apple Store with a whopping 64 Gig of RAM pre-installed. You are probably going to need as much RAM as possible when the new FCP is released, so start saving!

iMovie on the iPad. Worth a watch as some of the features might be coming to an NLE near you soon!

If you haven't got your hands on one yet, then take a look at this iPad demo video from Apple. Could some of the features shown here in iMovie find their way into the new Final Cut Pro?

How many times will Larry Jordan have this FCP8 conversation?

***Updated with embedded event video***

So no news from Apple about Final Cut Pro at the iPad2 event. However Randy Ubillos who headed up the team that gave birth to Final Cut over 10 years ago, was on stage to talk about iMovie. Is there anything we can learn?

Is this the first credible FCP8 update rumour?

fcp8_rumour

There have been a few rumours that we have stumbled across about an FCP8 update but nothing we could really peg any thing on. Not any more, Techcrunch has stuck its head out and published.
