COMPONENTS Final Cut Studio contains four main applications and several smaller applications used in editing video. The major applications it includes are:
The smaller applications included are:
HISTORY Final Cut Studio was introduced at the National Association Of Broadcasters in April 2005 . It is the successor to Production Suite , and added new versions of all the Production Suite applications, as well as a 'new' program, Soundtrack Pro, which is really a new version of Soundtrack, formerly included with Final Cut Pro. In January 2006 , Final Cut Studio became the only way to purchase any of the individual major applications. In March 2006 , Apple released the Universal Binary version, transferring the version number from Final Cut Pro to the entire suite, so that it became Final Cut Studio 5.1. Release history MARKETING Final Cut Studio has been placed as an all-in-one production workflow because of its integration of film, motion graphics and audio post-production tools in one suite. It is analogous to the ILife suite, which is aimed at consumers, insomuch as IMovie is the consumer counterpart of Final Cut Pro; GarageBand 3 is a consumer version of Soundtrack (with its iMovie scoring feature); and IDVD is the cut-down version of DVD Studio Pro. Like Motion, iMovie includes Core Image effects that can be applied in real time. High Definition In the Macworld Conference And Expo 2005 , Steve Jobs - CEO of Apple - declared 2005 to be the "year of High Definition Video ". To this end, the HD features of Final Cut Studio were emphasised, such that a little HD logo was placed on the box for each individual Studio application, as well as the Final Cut Studio box (pictured). Final Cut Pro supports all High Definition formats ( HDV , DVCPRO HD and uncompressed HD) and Soundtrack Pro and Motion can import these formats too, where they can be played back on an external monitor. DVD Studio Pro 4 can burn HD content onto standard or HD DVDs, although no HD DVD burners are commercially available yet. See DVD Studio Pro#High Definition . Packaging The design for the packaging and websites for each application are consistent to a demonstration video shown at the product's introduction at NAB 2005. This video also includes reference to Shake 4 - a high-end digital compositing application that integrates with Final Cut Pro but is not included in Final Cut Studio. Case studies To market the Studio components, Apple compiled a set of {Link without Title} . INTEGRATION The applications are designed to integrate as a suite, to form a workflow. In particular:
