Final Cut Studio 2 Manuals Online & Downloadable

Software isn't here yet, but we can start getting some questions answered.

Final Cut Studio Manuals

LiveType 2 manual (appears unchanged since FCS 1)

Motion 3 manuals

Qmaster 3 manuals (distributed processing/compressing stuff)

DVD Studio Pro Manuals - includes DVD SP 4.2 new features

Compressor's page doesn't list the latest manuals, but they are listed on the main Apple - Support - Manuals page. Direct links: Compressor 3 New Features and Compressor 3 User Manual - Note some manuals not found elsewhere can be found in the "Recent Manuals" list on the lower portion of this page!

Cinema Tools 4 User Manual

Cinema Tools 4 New Features (manual)

Apple Qmaster 3 and Compressor 3 Distributed Processing Setup

A few goodies: finalcutpronews: More nuggets on FCP 6.

A bunch of new Apple support docs have been posted over at Accelerate Your Macintosh! News Page - 5/17/07, including FCS 2 issues, color issues, Motion 3, Soundtrack Pro, etc.

UPDATE - reader Michael Ryden found the Color Manual online, so download and learn...

...and here's the Color 1.0 Release Notes - just read'em, and WOW there are a lot of caveats to be cautious of - when sailing those waters, there are lots of rocks and reefs just below the surface, and the occassional sandbar as well. Consult this map to safely navigate!

Damn I could really use some of these new features on this project I am doing now. Like being able to watch an HDV sequence over firewire and a DV connection.

I know...same here! .... we own Final Touch HD and I don't want to color grade with it even though we just finished our edit on this music video! I'm struggling to hold out for the upgrade to arrive... ahhhh... but the timing couldn't be better! What an exciting time to be in this biz! :)

I wouldn't hold off Michael, after reading the manual, it really seems that Final Touch isn't all that different.
