New pro software from apple announced

Apple have announced a bundle of new software in their "pro" line of tools. From slashdot, a reader writes in...

"The new app is called Motion. Motion is a a new motion graphics program with real-time previews, procedural behavior animation and Final Cut Pro HD integration. Second is Final Cut Pro HD, boasting the beauty of HD with the simplicity of DV. Capture DVCPRO HD over FireWire, edit using camera-native footage and output over FireWire with no generational quality loss. RT Extreme, now for HD, can deliver multiple HD streams, effects, filters and transitions in real-time to an attached Apple Cinema Display. Last, but most important to me, is DVD Studio Pro 3, which has slick new transitions, superb HD to MPEG-2 encoding, Graphical View, support for all professional audio formats — including DTS, and integration with Final Cut Pro HD and Motion. Motion will be available this summer for $299. The Final Cut Pro HD update is available now for FCP 4 users. DVD Studio Pro 3 is expected to ship in mid-May."

Apple have also announced Xsan, which is a clustered filesystem for Mac OS X. As ever, apple.com has lots of pretty pictures for readers to gaze over and be amazed at. Update : Neowin mod Radish ("that ™ guy") has pointed out Logic (snazzy image) and Shake (funky image). Thanks!
