Final Cut Pro Studio v5.1 Universal Binary Released

by Damien Barrett Mar 29th 2006 at 5:30PM

During the MWSF keynote address, Jobs said that Apple's goal was to have all its professional applications ported to universal binaries by the end of March of this year. Logic Pro was the first to be ported a few weeks back and today, Apple has released a crossgrade to a universal binary version of Final Cut Pro Studio 5.1, which is arguably the most important of the professional applications. The crossgrade to universal costs $49 (or $99. Both prices are listed and there's no clear indicator which is correct or whether it's $49 for FCP and $99 for the studio suite). Ah, that's just me being confused and not reading the site well-enough.  The crossgrade is $49 for current FCS 5.x owners, where as the upgrade is $99 for FCP standalone owners, and $199 to upgrade for almost everyone else.

I don't understand the last sentance: The website now clearly states that it is $49 to go from Final Cut Studio PPC to FCS Universal, $99 to go from FCP to FCS Universal, and $199 to go from the other pro apps to FCS Universal...

Shrug. Maybe tomorrow? Friday? It's definitely in development since it was shown at a conference just a week or two ago. We're also still missing Shake, but this release is a move in the right direction.

if you have final cut studio already, the universal binary is only $49. if you have final cut pro 5, you get the universal binary plus upgrade to final cut studio for $99. pretty good deal if you ask me.
