Apple releases Final Cut Pro free trial, major update.

Final Cut Pro X 10.0.1, available through the Mac App Store right now, brings Xsan integration for distributed remote collaborative editing; XML support, which will allow project and event info to be imported and exported to external programs; and simplified export of audio, video and graphics with a new "Roles" feature. Other new additions include GPU-accelerated exports and full-screen mode for OS X Lion users, among others.

I'm sure the film geeks will still bitch, but it's nice to see that Apple is listening to it's pro users (or at least seems to be).
