“It now seems likely that this target has been missed according to one of our source,” Lionel reports. “The development of this software suite has suffered significant setbacks and it will be necessary to wait until 2011 to see its release; furthermore, the scope of the project has been reduced.”
Lionel reports, “The idea of having a unified interface has been abandoned for the time being because of difficulties in reaching a satisfactory compromise among not only the various applications but above all between different development teams, those working on Shake and those working on Motion.”

Don’t get me wrong, I am no apple hater. I would love to use an iPad, but before it needs a second core and keyboard shortcuts. I have bought a netbook instead that runs ubuntu, and that works great.

1080p60 does not exist in AVCHD standard. Panasonic (and Sanyo where Panasonic got the technology, upon acquisition) captures 1080p60 as ordinary MPEG-4 (AVC) files without any AVCHD structure (unlike other frame rates and sizes).
As they are the only brand delivering 1080p60 at this point, it is unlikely that FCP will go outside of current Blu-ray (and AVCHD) specifications. 720p60 is already there, since it is a standard.

Well, “Log & Transfer” works quite well, and it transcodes into ProRes 422, which gives you better chroma subsampling over the original AVCHD.
Unless you are desperately short on storage and would prefer to work on original (highly compressed) AVCHD files (12GB per hour), ProRes is much easier on the resources, allowing you to get real-time preview of many transitions, effects, etc. This is practically impossible (or useless) on Premiere with AVCHD, where your computer can barely render a single stream of full-size AFCHD (1080p24, 1080p25 or 1080p30).
Eventually, hardware will get faster and we’ll be able to overlay several tracks of AVCHD video; by then, Apple will be working of FCS 5…

I’m using FCS3 and love it, so I can wait.
ps, Screw Adobe.
