  • Multi-format editing on a single timeline, improved Soundtrack Pro, new Color grading tool, Compressor encoding
  • DVD Studio Pro 4 lacks support for blue-laser burning, Color is quirky to master and use, installation is very slow and needs up to 60GB of disk space for all available content
  • As the name says, this is as close as anyone has come yet to offering a production studio in a box. Add a good HD camcorder or two and a fast new Mac, and you have everything you need to take on Hollywood. ...

  • Offers a pro-level app for each step of the production and distribution process. Includes a host of new features that save time and improve output. Apps work seamlessly together. Competitive price.
  • Beefy requirements for some apps. DVD Studio Pro unchanged (no Bluray support). Color application features a different interface.
  • Without a doubt, no other video/film production software suite can offer as much as Final Cut Studio 2. Avid’s software is less an integrated suite and more a confederation of independent apps that still manage to miss key functions (such as DVD...
