Q: Just got FCPX, now on an iMac

I just bought Final Cut Pro X 10.0.3. I had bought FCP years ago and the continual upgrades

until it was named Final Cut Studio. I'm guessing this was 2005 or so. Anyhow, I used to have

all those other applications, Compressor, Motion, LiveType, Soundtrack, maybe others in that

package.

I never really mastered the program and resorted to iMovie HD in a pinch.

I'm already having some hardware issues with this new version, but it looks like something I'll

be able to learn.

Are those other programs "under the hood" of the new FCPX or bought seperately? Upgrades

from my old versions? Are they even necessary?

I have an interest in trying to create a DVD with surround sound.
