Final Cut Server Released

Final Cut ServerAfter its many delays, Final Cut Server is finally here. Apple’s online store had a short downtime today, and resulted in Final Cut Server being released. After its announcement at the NAB 2007, Final Cut Server is now available from Apple’s online store and Apple retail stores for $999 (10-client), and $1999 (unlimited client licenses). For those that don’t know what I’m talking about, Final Cut Server is “a scaleable server application…allows searching across multiple disks and SAN volumes and enables viewing, annotation and approval of content from anywhere using a PC or Mac®.”

The system requirements are as follows:
Server:

  • 1.8 G5 PowerPC or an Intel Core Duo, Core 2 Duo or Xeon (Intel recommended)
  • OS X 10.5 or later
  • 2 GB of RAM (4 GB recommended)
  • AGP or PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card (Final Cut Server is not compatible with integrated Intel graphics processors—if you need to run a mobile production server, you need to be on a MacBook Pro)
  • 500 MB of disk space

    • Mac Client:

  • 1.25GHz or faster PowerPC G4, PowerPC G5, Intel Core Duo, Intel Core 2 Duo, or Intel Xeon processor
  • 1GB of RAM
  • AGP or PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card (Final Cut Server is not compatible with integrated Intel graphics processors)
  • A display with 1024-by-768 resolution or higher
  • Mac OS X v10.4.11 or later
  • QuickTime 7.4.1 or later
  • Java for Mac OS X v10.4 Release 6 or later
  • Final Cut Pro 6.0.2 or later for Final Cut Pro integration
  • 20MB of available disk space

    • Windows Client:

  • A PC with Windows XP (SP2) or Vista
  • 1GB of RAM
  • AGP or PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card (Final Cut Server is not compatible with integrated Intel graphics processors)
  • A display with 1024-by-768 resolution or higher
  • QuickTime 7.4.1 or later
  • Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 4 or later
  • 20MB of available disk space

    • The system requirements clearly state that Intel integrated graphics (e.g. GMA 950 or X3100) are not compatible with Final Cut Server. Which is not surprising, considering that Intel’s integrated graphics are not capable of much video rendering or gaming. Most professionals are most likely to be using Mac Pros and MacBook Pros, anyway - so there should be no problems there.
