Final Cut Studio Update and iPhone Support …
Today Apple released the first update to Final Cut Studio 2. I’m happy to report a few nagging issues that I was experiencing have been fixed. Specifically, problematic compressed file exports [MP3 and AAC/Podcast] from the multitrack project workspace in Soundtrack Pro 2. Apparently this problem was not wide spread. There was a clear reference to it in the application release notes stating incapability issues with certain noncompliant devices. I have not made any hardware changes, and as stated – the export option now works. Additionally I was experiencing various instances with parameter sliders “sticking” in Compressor when working with MPEG-2 and H.264 presets. It’s no longer an issue. Cool.
Compressor now offers 256 kbps AAC audio encoding for the new iTunes Plus format. Also notice the iPhone preset reference included in the Apple Devices preset group [see the supplied enlarged snapshot]. Nothing fancy, however it’s interesting to see. Custom aspect ratio support has been enhanced, and it looks like they included a .plst file import feature that will help producers create custom annotation references. I’m particularly interested in this based on a small widget based application that I may attempt to develop. I’ll see how it goes.
Anyway, lot’s more to report – so stay tuned …
Thank you Paul, I was just asking some folks what they saw different or updated from the released version. Please keep passing along the updated changes as you find them.
Hi Tim,
The best way to monitor the specifics is by simply accessing the Release Notes, located in the Help Menu of each individual application. Apple updates this document when changes are made to the application in question.
