Whether you're thinking about possibly upgrading your editing hardware or software, it's definitely a smart move to wait until after NAB! A Key new feature that Apple unveiled at this year's NAB for Final Cut Pro 5 was Multicam, Multichannel audio input and support for HDV and P2 natively. Multicam will allow up to 128 angles to be switched in a Multiclip. 4, 9 or 16 angles can be displayed and switched at a time.
Here's a quick look at some other Key features of Final Cut Pro 5:
