There’s been some talk around the proverbial water cooler that Apple is going to release a new Final Cut Pro updated. This would make it the 8th version of the software and word is, it’s getting a huge overhaul. In this article they talked about how Apple developers asked for Pro users for their feedback and they don’t mean people like me. They want people who know Final Cut in and out.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been working with FCP for just over five (5) years now, but there’s still so much I don’t know about the wonderful program.  So I’m interested to see where they take it. I am a bit concerned that when I do open the program, it will look and feel completely different. One of the great things about FCP is how user friendly it is. But I would like to believe they’re making this update to improve the editing experience. 

There’s still no word of whether they are just releasing Final Cut Pro 8 software or if they will be adding updates to the entire Final Cut Studio family. Because word about the 2011 Apple Keynote is still in the dark, we wont know anything for sure. I would suspect that they might hint to something at WWDC in June, but most forums say Apple will be talking about iPhone 5/iPad 2 related products. 

I would like to thank Jared Abrams for tweeting/blogging about the article. You can check out his site HERE.  

Most of you know that I have this little channel on YouTube where I make sketches with my Bro, @Rescuethecows. Now this isn’t just a little project for me or something to pass the time. I like to view my work as the real deal. 

With that said, I’ve invested money into making this happen. I’ve purchased a new MacBook Pro to handle my editing needs. I’ve bought a Kodak Zi8 for vlogging and. most recently, I got myself a Canon EOS Rebel t2i. Now I do most of my editing in iMovie because, I’ll be honest with you, they really don’t require the fire power that Final Cut Studio provides. But now that I’m beginning to upgrade my equipment, I also want to “upgrade” the quality of the content I’m producing as well as the type of content I’m producing. 

Now don’t get me wrong, BareLove: Lunch Special will continue to be the flagship program on ReallyIsaac Studios, but I want to branch out, adding new programming to the channel. But obviously I can’t do this alone. Funding being the main issue, I try to find retailers that offer high-end equipment, but for affordable prices. 

Thanks to my brother, Santiago Guerra - who has a great podcast show called TheOpus, but I’ll get into that in another article - showed me a websites that focuses not only on the big business, but all the little guys as well.
