Final Cut Pro 5.1.3 Released

A download for Final Cut Pro v. 5.1.3 is now available from Apple, which they say is a "maintenance release." We're still mostly working in 5.0. When I upgrade to 5.1, which should be soon, I'll probably go right to this version. I think that even the projects for these incremental version are not backward-compatible. So if you start a project in FCP v. 5.1.3, then you can't work on it in v. 5.1.2. Seems a bit picky to me, but I didn't write the software code.

Below is what Apple says about the new release:
