    Introducing Final Cut Server

    11:15am - Scalable from small boutiques to multinational news organizations. Interface works on PC as well. Media asset management: catalogues 100 file types, proxy generation, keyword searching, access controls. Workflow automation: workflow templates, watch and respond system, review and approve tools, automated encode and publish -- "It's an event-based system."

    11:18am - "Because we've backed compressor into it, you can control the delivery from Final Cut Server." Obviously, it's well integrated with Final Cut, including time-saving shot selection, proxy rough cut...

    It's $999 with 10 concurrent users -- 99 bucks a seat to solve this problem. If you have more people to get involved in the process, for $1999 it's unlimited concurrent users. All you need is this piece of software, add as many as you want. You have licenses for everyone. Available this summer.

    Introducing Apple ProRes 422

    Can compress full raster HD quality video from 1TB to 170GB.
    ...blah blah blah....some other integrated stuff between apps....

    Some interesting looking upgrades to Motion including a revamp of retiming which - if it does what I think it might, is a welcome revamp.

    Soundtrack Pro 2 announced.
    Aligning sound effects and audio with a 3-up video HUD. Advanced take management with composited audio tracks. Also embraces surround mixing at its core -- one of the key things, we do this in a single project, stereo and surround mix encapsulated in the same project." 5.1 support, panning and speaker-to-speaker automation.

    Compressor 3
    "Now I'm going to turn my attention to Compressor 3. It's now a major marquee member of the Final Pro suite. It's industrial strength." It now features simplified cluster setup, extended to MPEG-2, H.264, Telestream Episode Pro plug-in with VC-1, WMV, FLV... dynamic filters with timecode overlays, animated motion watermarks.

    Introducing a new application today: Color. Real time application color grading - will be included in Final Cut Studio 2.

    That's it.
