Apple unveils new Final Cut Sudio 2

LAS VEGAS--Apple on Sunday introduced Final Cut Studio 2, its high-end video-editing software, and unveiled Final Cut Server, designed to help broadcasters manage post production.

As Apple's software continues to gain influence over how feature films and broadcast television shows are edited, the company's showcase at the National Association of Broadcasters convention here was filled to capacity on Sunday.

The new server, along with 10 concurrent licenses, will go on sale sometime this summer for $999. Those wishing to buy a server with unlimited licensing will pay $1,999.

Final Cut Studio, also due to be released this summer, will run $1,299 or $499 for an upgrade.

Apple received applause when demonstrating the upgrades to Final Cut Pro. Apple now allows for the editing of different video formats at the same time, the removal of unwanted camera movements, and speeds up the process for dialogue replacement.
