ProKit 4.5 update

Apple has just updated ProKit to version 4.5.

ProKit, as far as I am aware, contains only UI elements such as button images for professional applications such as Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Express, Logic Studio, etc. There is unlikely to be anything exciting in it I'm afraid.

Apple's release notes are, as always, rather vague:
This update improves reliability for Apple's professional applications and is recommended for all users of Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Express, Aperture, Logic Studio and Logic Express.


As always, don't update a working system unless you are experiencing a major problem that this update may fix. And when you do it, make sure to clone your drive with something like Carbon Copy Cloner first.

Update: Some people are reporting that Motion 3 instabilities with the Ozone plugin are a thing of the past with the new ProKit update.

Update 2: Others are reporting that the DVD Studio Pro menu that had disappeared is now back, while others are reporting that it causes their Logic 8 installation to crash.

I know people have been experiencing issues with Compressor windows not opening, so I would advise them to give this patch a go and see if it fixes it for them.
