As we previously predicted, Apple has just released the new version of Final Cut Pro, called Final Cut Pro X. Final Cut Pro X is the first version to be 64 bit and requires at least 4GB of RAM.

Final Cut Pro X offers some great new features, including advanced shot, people detection and keywords for editors. The latest release will also resolve the issue with the audio video syncing and math color of two different clips.

Final Cut Pro X will be available for $299 at the Mac App Store.

There are a lot of rumours that Apple will release the new version of Final Cut Pro at the Final Cut Pro User Group SuperMeet.

Basically, Apple demanded that all stage time at the event be exclusively for their products and presenters. Thus, a lot of guest speakers have since been cancelled and it’s not expected to turn out to be a product launch.

Earlier this year, Apple invited individuals including Final Cut Pro author Larry Jordon to a hands on. Jordan describes what he can of the preview meeting:

I’ve Seen The New Version of Final Cut Pro… and it’s a jaw-dropper. Last week, Apple invited a few folks, including me, to a short meeting in Cupertino where they previewed the up-coming version of Final Cut Pro. While I am under NDA and can’t talk about what I saw, I CAN tell you the meeting happened and that it showcased the new Final Cut Pro. While the invited crowd was small, it was a Who’s Who of leaders in the post-production community. I felt like I was standing on the red carpet at an awards show, watching all the stars walk past.

I did a previous review of Animoto here. In that review I spoke about the finer points of Animoto and its uses for those looking at creating quick vids to share with friends and families, and even embed into websites.

I want to congratulate Animoto for hitting their one year celebration and wanted to share a few numbers they shared with me via their email announcement:

1. 4 million videos have been made on the Animoto platform
2. More than 250,000 users in 200-some countries have registered on Animoto.com
3. Animoto vids have been watched over 50 million times on Animoto.com, blogs, social networks, video sharing sites and web sites around the world!

I also want to share with all the readers of Crenk some new features for Animoto!

1. You can now pick your own images to use as the cover for your video as opposed to the static images provided by Animoto.

2. Animoto for your iPhone!!! That’s right, now you can watch your Animoto videos on your iPhone and a hint at a possible iPhone app. We’ll be sure to review it when it comes out.

3. you can now incorporate logos and panoramics into the videos which was a long standing issue.

Animoto is a definite most for those of us looking at creating videos for presentations, thank you cards, get well cards, parties/events.
