Pro Applications Update 2007-01

Pro Application Update 2007-01 includes fixes to underlying framworks and shared components for the updated Final Cut Studio 2 applications.

Apple recommends that you update all your apps to the new .01 updates to experience improved stability at a minimum. If you have an iMac (like I do) with a 1680×1050 resolution, definitely upgrade Color because it now scales to that resolution and you get to see all the tabs, though, the text looks a bit distorted (I can’t wait to purchase my new MacBook Pro with 1920 x 1200 resolution.

Until the next blog entry!

Cheers!
