Apple Pro Applications Update 2008-004 makes your day

Application Update Another day, another Pro Applications update. Good news for fastidiously updating Shake, Color, Compressor, Qmaster, Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Server, and Logic Studio users. That’s a mouthful. If you guessed that this update “addresses general performance issues and improves overall stability”, then you read Apple update descriptions too much (and by too much, I mean more than once).

Final Cut Pro has been updated to version 6.0.5, improving still rendering and high resolution format handling, as well as a couple Panasonic camcorders.

Compressor 3.0.5 and Apple Qmaster 3.0.5 share a version number and fixed an issue with Back to My Mac and QuickClusters.

Color has been updated to 1.0.3, adding support for XDCAM 422 media and for the RED plug-ins for Final Cut Studio. Overall reliability has been improved when using trackers in the Geometry room, using the Reconform command, adjusting the Minimum and Maximum nodes in the Color FX room. And no, I have no idea what most of those mean.

Finally, Shake has reached 4.1.1 and addresses compatibility with Quicktime codecs greater than 8 bits.

Get to downloading. It should be in your Software Update now.

I have a request of Macuser. Since Apple changed their downloads page, it's gotten a lot harder to find things. Would you be willing to add a hyperlinks to the pages of all downloads that you write about. Man, that would be huge.
