A lot of anticipation surrounded the release of Apple’s Final Cut Studio 2. Having gotten his own copy, the reviewer was excited to explore its features. Final Cut Studio 2 comes with an enormous 55GB of additional templates, content and tutorials. With 4GB needed for the applications, the total required free space is roughly 60GB. Upgrading is likely to entail purchasing an additional hard drive. Meanwhile, the minimum requirements for hardware are a PowerPC G4 1.25GHz processor and 1GB of RAM. Final Cut Studio 2 has a lot to offer any editor or producer in all aspects of video post production. The release of version 2.0.1 has also improved some early stability issues and added AVCHD support. The reviewer concludes that Final Cut Studio 2 has a tremendous value, provided one’s computer hardware can meet or exceed the recommended system requirements.
