Re: The reason FCP is not 64-bit

Alan,

I also read the Ars review and found the bits about QT especially interesting, but didn't think to post it here... thanks for sharing.

With regards to FCP adding support for Grand Central Dispatch and Open CL vs becoming 64 bit, it's not an either/or situation, but more like a both/and. Using the new technologies from Snow Leopard and taking advantage of more RAM by becoming 64 bit both involve a rewrite of the FCP code from Carbon to Cocoa. I'm just hoping they hold back on use of core animation when they do make the switch... I'm not particularly ken to watch my clip physically move from the viewer to the timeline when I make an overwrite edit.

With all the potential benefits to FCP users it would surprise me if this rewrite hadn't been in the works for a while and that FCS 3/09/o-rama represents more of a "we haven't forgotten about you / here are some new tweaks we came up with that didn't break the old code too much" release along the way.

Zak
