Apple Pro Applications Update 2010-02 released
An Apple software update nearly sneaked by without notice yesterday.

After the update, version numbers are listed as Final Cut Pro 7.0.3, Motion 4.0.3, Color 1.5.3, Compressor 3.5.3, and Apple QMaster 3.5.3. The Final Cut app updates include support for new cameras.
