Apple just announce its new Final Cut Express 4 , a “ significant acclivity ” at a price of $ 199 , that ’s $ 100 shaved off of the Final Cut Express 3.5 “ HD ” variant . I remember it ’s proof that David Pogue was ripe about iMovie ’ 08 .

The big news show is that the software will support AVCHD ( on Intel - based Macs ) , so you do n’t have to worry about incompatibilities with that precious little Panasonic Mount Rushmore State - River Cam on your Christmas list . you could also now mix received - def DV and both HDV and AVCHD in the same timeline , and advance access to FxPlug effects . express mail 4 supports 1080i and 720p firmness of purpose , and has a simplify apparatus and is compatible with iMovie 08 at the undertaking level : you just import the whole thing and go .
