With the formidable Canon 5D Mark II on the team the ability to shoot high definition video comes as standard, and with Macs on the team we are lucky to have access to Final Cut Pro  for editing.

A quick play with Apple’s latest version, Final Cut Pro X, reveals a number of things. It has the potential to become a great professional product; it’s new interface could initially frustrate users more familiar with previous, track based, NLE software; those new to NLE will become more productive more quickly.

It is a creditable .0 release. We hope that Apple will be swift to follow up with subsequent updates to reinstate omissions and may I please have an iBook version of the user manual? Trying to read a PDF of the online copy on an iPad is just painful.
