NEWS ANALYSIS
No OS X Support for Final Cut Pro 2

Uh ... what's going on here?
We broke the story about Adobe failing to support OS X with After Effects 5 and the rest of its applications. Judging from your comments, you didn't take too kindly to this news. Well, how would you feel if you found out Apple's not supporting OS X either?


BIG NEWS
Apple To Ship Final Cut Pro 2.0
New version gets realtime editing, no OS X support
Apple today announced it plans to ship Final Cut Pro 2 March 19. Final Cut Pro is Apple's digital video editing application, a direct competitor of Adobe Premiere. According to Apple, version 2.0 offers realtime editing and compositing features for realtime cards like the Matrox RTMac, which has also just been announced.


BIG NEWS
Matrox Ships Mac Realtime Editing Card for Final Cut Pro 2
$999 card also offers dual-monitor support and dual-stream, uncompressed capture
Matrox has finally announced the release of its long-awaited RTMac realtime card for Final Cut Pro 2.0. The card had been announced last year at NAB and was expected in the third quarter of 2000, but delays in shipping a realtime version of Final Cut Pro caused the RTMac to be pushed back.


TUTORIAL

When I reviewed Fireworks last week, I touted this feature as one of the best reasons to upgrade from version 3 to version 4. I might have jumped the gun there. It seems there are some problems with the interactive menu feature in Fireworks 4. So let's take a look.
