the article only mentions that it's aimed towards people who are used to using apps such as final cut pro. i highly doubt it'll actually "utilize elements" of final cut pro, unless you mean that it'll borrow some ideas from it.

Moist.

Here's the quote:

"The service is aimed at 18- to 24-year-old ``early adopters'' of high-speed, or broadband, Internet access and people comfortable using video and audio editing tools such as Apple Computer's Final Cut."

Looks like someone read this too quickly, no?

The tools they ship on a Vaio suck pond water. They are inferior to iMovie, let alone FCP. I have a feeling that Sony and Apple are going to get closer as time goes on.

I have a feeling that Sony has no interest in getting closer to Apple as time goes on...

I have a feeling that Sony will copy Apple, as they already have begun shipping IEEE1394 enabled machines with DVD-R. They could be developing software that feels and works like FCP, but runs on everyone's favorite OS. *shudder*

The article only compares the Sony site to editing tools _like_ FCP.

Why is it that MacNN has degraded to a Press Release duplication bot? I highly doubt any intelligent humans work there, maybe an intern who monitors press releases and does the magical command-C-command-V editorial wizardry that appears to becoming standard.

Even Slashdot gets stuff right _some_ of the time. Yeesh.

Nah, slashdot is right pretty much the same percentage of the time you'd expect from a random number generator. MacNN hasn't quite gotten that bad yet, but they do seem to be trying.

I don't care how broadband someone's connection is. It's not enough to edit video over! Oh let me just preview my video and see if there's a little mistake or two. Gee, it's only a 32 gig download...
