I just attended the Apple Final Cut Studio 2 tour earlier today and man, I can't wait to get my hands on the entire suite! So many wonderful changes! Color alone makes it worth the $1299 price tag in my book whereas Motion 3 is a GREAT upgrade from previous versions (The 3D and Vector-based imaging alone make it a must-have addition to any video editing/generation arsenal!) but nowhere near as amazing as Color in my book. I mean, just WOW! It's the ultimate color correction, imagfe stabalization and finalization tool which can take even SD video and give it a film "look" easily and efficiently beyond all of it's hyper control levels. Absolutely incredible.
Don't even get me started on Soundtrack 2, absolutely incredible as well. THey've got a new marking system for queing and psynching sounds to video in such a progressive manner it's beyond belief in it's simplicity and elegance.
All in all wow!!!! I cannot wait to get a copy and unfortunately this is finally the kick in the ass I've been dreading which will force me to make a serious apple hardware investment past my mini's and older-gen iMacs... My bank account is going to hate me but my clients are going to love me. ;)
