The recent release of Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 has added a lot of new features and a lot of bug fixes. I am very impressed with the amount of new stuff has been added to this small release. If you are a FCP user you really need to check out Apple’s Late-Breaking News About Final Cut Pro 5 PDF. It has the entire list of update and fixes. Personally I am excited about the FxPlug support and the real time video analysis with the scopes. Here is a brief list of all the improvements.
