-  Mac OS X 10.5.6 or higher
-  Quicktime 7.6 or later
-  DVD drive for installation
-  1.5GB of disk space required to install all applications

The latest information suggests the most exciting updates have been made to Final Cut Pro and Compressor. One of the first things that you will notice is that there is no change to the interface.
1. The biggest change sees the inclusion of a Share function that allows you to easily export various outputs straight from the timeline; this includes Blu-ray Discs and varying levels of quality (for easy uploading to sites like YouTube etc) as well as any setting directly from Compressor. Rendering is done in the background, allowing you to continue working in FCP while the timeline is being shared.

2. ProRes has new flavours, at the high end, there's a new ProRes 4444 (330Mbps at 1080p), and there are two lower-bitrate versions: ProRes 422LT (100Mbps at 1080p) and ProRes 422 Proxy (45Mbps at 1080p).

• ProRess 4444 – Last 4 is for alpha channel. 
• Lower bit rates are for HDV & AVCHD
• Support for AVC-Intra in Final Cut Pro & Colour 1.5 

The Blu-ray functionality is limited and by no means as advanced as Adobe Encore CS4 but has enough for most corporate- and wedding-styled DVD’s. 

A nifty feature is the ability to share a project via iChat including timecodes. This feature allows remote or online collaboration and it would appear the quality of this collaboration is very good.

Keyframeable speed adjustments utility, this is the updated slo-mo effect. Considering how difficult it was to use, this is a much appreciated update, with a “ripple” option that allows easier positioning and adjustment when utilizing this effect.

Just the above mentioned improvements will dramatically improve your efficiency, timeframe in completing projects and will make it very difficult to resist upgrading or purchasing it for the first time.
