Well after it’s initial announcement a year ago at NAB 2007 and a subsequent delay that was supposed to have it shipping in August of 2007. Apple is finally shipping Final Cut Server. They make no mention in their press release of what the hold up was. Although we do find it curious that they would announce this only a week before NAB 2008, apple is notorious for making a big splash of new products at the convention. 

Our best guess is that they have something else up their sleeve and they don’t want to take the spotlight away from that with a product that was supposed to ship 6 months ago. 

While we are by no means a rumor site I will note that DVD Studio Pro hasn’t been updated in 3 years and currently has no blue ray support. They also announced two years ago that they were going to stop developing shake to work on their “Next Generation” Compositing system and it would be out in a couple of years…. well it’s a couple of years. But I guess we’ll all find out in a week.
