FCPX 10.1.0 PRE-RELEASE DISCUSSION

is this REAL !!!

I say end of the month! :evil:

Some rumors in the retail channel indicate Dec 16 or 17th for the MacPro release. I usually bet on Tuesday for Apple releases, but due to the holidays, Monday may make more sense. I'll bet FCPX drops same day so Apple can use the updated OpenCL coding for eye-popping Multi-GPU benchmarks. I also think there will be some kind of update or integration with Aperture so Apple can reach a broader range of creative pros than just FCP-X reaches. I'm also predicting it will be a full but low new purchase price and no upgrade pricing, muck like we saw with Logic X. This might be offset a bit with some kind of Aperture integration which in itself may add value to the purchase.

See thats where Apple gets you. It would really make more since to release at the beginning of December.

I think Apple underestimated the number of individuals who are married to editors and want to buy them a Mac Pro for Christmas! Bad thinking Tim Cook

You guys are cracking me up :lol: :lol:

Venkman: Or you can accept the fact that this city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
Mayor: What do you mean, "biblical"?
Ray Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath-of-God type stuff!
Venkman: Exactly.
Stanz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the sky! Rivers and seas boiling!
Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes!
Winston: The dead rising from the grave!
Venkman: Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats, living together! Mass hysteria!

Wait a minute, why are we that sure that Apple will launch FCPX update on Tuesday? It may easily be any day of the week... I know they've launched feature updates on Tuesdays but they've also launched some versions on Thursdays and 10.0.2 on Wednesday...

Okay same time tomorrow.

Yippee

What I'm suggesting basically is that we all stop working and just press the update refresh button until we get the update. BTW This discussion has gotten me through a 11 hour bus ride without being bored for a second. So thank you guys!

It's not a matter of "sure" or not- it's a question of playing the stats.

Apple have released updates to FCPX on days other than Tuesday, but they've also NEVER released a "feature" update on anything BUT a Tuesday. Logic Pro X was also released on a Tuesday.

4 out of 4 feature updates have been released on Tuesday. While this doesn't guarantee that a feature update will NEVER come any other day- right now there's no reason NOT to believe it won't be released on Tuesday.

Until the pattern changes, I'll bet on the pattern.

Speaking of patterns, OS updates are traditionally on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

I think that we'll see OS X 10.9.1 on Wednesday or Thursday this week, and FCPX 10.1.0 + Mac Pro on the following Tuesday if not at the same time as 10.9.1.

Someone can correct me on this, but while iOS products have launched later in the week- Macs do seem to still be largely launched on Tuesdays.

For this year-

Monday, June 10th - MacBookAir (but this was WWDC keynote so maybe an exception)
Tuesday, September 24 - iMac
Tuesday, October 22- MacBookPro

I was just reminded of the time just minutes after leaving from vacation, my youngest boy asking "are we there yet."



Apple has a good reason for date that chose for the release. We'll get there soon enough.

Hey, here is a thought. Apple was originally going to release the MacPro and FCP 10.1 today but chose to delay it in light of the Nelson Mandela memorial service:
