Apple has released a Final Cut Studio Pro Applications update that updates most all applications in the suite. You can simply update by using Apple's Software Update feature. This update seems pretty routine, I'm hoping we still get to see a new Final Cut Studio Suite at NAB come this April.

Pro Applications Update 2010-02 adds compatibility for new camera formats, improves overall stability, and addresses a number of other minor issues. This update is recommended for all users of Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Server, and Logic Studio.

Application included in the update:

• Final Cut Pro 7.0.3
• Motion 4.0.3
• Color 1.5.3
• Compressor 3.5.3
• Apple Qmaster 3.5.3

Issues addressed in this update include the following:

Final Cut Pro

• Real-time compatibility with Sony XDCAM HD422 720p24/p25/p30.
• Log and Transfer compatibility with Sony NXCAM SD.
• Control-G not closing the correct gap in the Timeline under the playhead.
• Closed captioning data is now preserved when outputting to AJA Io HD with Print to Tape/Video.
• Performance issue when importing AVCHD with LPCM audio.
• AVCHD thumbnail images in SD are now the correct 4:3 aspect ratio.
• XML export now retains the carriage return when working with text and third-party applications.
• Several memory fragmentation issues have been resolved.
• Localized versions of Final Cut Pro now recognize HDV devices that use the 1080i60/1080i50 FireWire Basic Easy Setups.
• Log and Transfer supports ingesting more than one format recorded to the same SD card.
