"Paper" iPad App

I've seen this app all over my feeds the past couple of days. I decided to check it out. It's rather brilliant. "Paper" is an iPad app (like many) designed to make your iPad an apt replacement for a Notebook/Sketchbook. "Paper" however has one major benefit over the competition; simplicity. The app is a free app, only coming with one brush. So, if you want to make use of the app you really have to purchase the other brushes at $2 each (there's 4). It's nice to see developers making interesting & functional apps like this for a change. Here's a promo video -

Apple Final Cut Pro X now available on Mac App Store

At last! Just as promised, Apple's long-awaited Final Cut Pro X is now available on the Mac App Store for just $299.99, meaning keen editors can immediately grab hold of this suite to crack on with some real-time 4K video editing. Of course, this is assuming that you have a 64-bit Mac rig with beastly specs in the first place -- check with Apple to make sure that you're all set to go. Accompanying this major software release are Motion 5 and Compressor 4 kits, both of which will cost you an extra $49.99 each, so make that roughly around $400 for the full monty. Press release after the break, but we guess you folks are already busy trimming clips on that magical Magnetic Timeline, so good luck in next year's Oscars. Update: We spoke to Apple and confirmed that there won't be a boxed version, upgrade pricing, or "Express" version available. Individual users can purchase a single license to use on multiple machines that they own, while business users will need to purchase one license per machine. Volume education pricing is available for purchase by institutions only. : Apple
