FCPX will be $299 from the App Store in June.

This seems very cheap, I wonder if that means the other pieces of Final Cut Studio will be sold separately on the App Store?

EDIT: Also I wonder if being cheap means that some 'pros' will take it less seriously, or worry that it won't be supported in the same way as more expensive software?

I'm reminded of this post: http://chrisashworth.org/blog/2010/06/09/my-2-bucks-on-prici...

I hope so. I've always wanted to play with Motion.

It's going to attract lots of advanced iMovie users. It's going to attract users into buying Mac if FCP is 'the' standard editing software in video industry. For example my cousin is buying a Mac because kids wants GarageBand.

Nice. Avid must be nervous.
