FinalCut Studio Crossgrade!
Our crossgrade version of FinalCut finally arrived this morning. It took exacly one week after we have sent the application papers along with old version DVDs to Apple. Not lightining-fast, but pretty fast I'd say, as it took 1.5 days x 2 for transit alone between Nagoya and Tokyo.
So.. I have finally have a version I can use on my Intel Mac at work!!
The install tooks quite a bit of time though. 2 hours overall!! But oh well it was almost 30Gigs installed so…
The overall experience? I didn't touch anything much except for Motion. And Motion is BLOODY fast! Of course I'm comparing to my old PowerBook G4 1.25 with only 1Gig of RAM, but man.. you can really feel the difference and the sound of software crunching numbers like there's no tomorrow :) Nice.. All that being set, what do I need to become an absolutely happy Intel Mac user? Oh right.. Adobe's software! Dreamweaver and Photoshop. But both of them at a looooooong time to wait. Next year…
