Final Cut Pro X received a shiny new update today, outfitted with support for multicam editing and support for external broadcast monitors. Most importantly, it brings support for a new third-party plugin which lets editors import their sessions from legacy version of Final Cut Pro. Something users had long lamented.
We knew something was up when Apple said OS X Lion would be just $31.99 in Australia. Was a price restructure on the way? Hell yes — and it’s now also in full effect on the Mac App Store. For instance, Final Cut Pro X now costs $319.99 instead of $349.99. The US price remains $299.99. Factor in 10% for the GST, and we’re actually now 10 bucks ahead.
Heads up: Adobe and Avid are both offering crossgrade discounts to disgruntled Final Cut Pro users. Maybe it’s the new interface and missing features, or maybe you’re pissed off that Apple took FCP 7 off the market. Either way, discounts baby!

Final Cut Pro X, a re-imagination of how video editing should be, or a botched release beyond any usable recognition, has certainly incensed its share of professional video editors. According to EOSHD, Apple may be refunding copies to placate them.
Apple released its latest version of Final Cut Pro overnight, and despite the video editing program costing $US300 on the US Mac App Store, it received a $350 price tag locally.
