Apple has updated Final Cut Pro, its professional video editing software, for both the Mac and iPad.
Here are Apple’s release notes for Final Cut Pro 11.1 for the Mac:
– Add color corrections and effects to an adjustment clip above the timeline to apply them to a range of clips at once.
– Get inspired with Image Playground and use Apple Intelligence to quickly create stylized images based on a description, suggested concepts, or people from your Photos library. (Requires macOS 15.2 or later on Mac models with M1 or later.)
– Speed up your Magnetic Mask workflows with important bug fixes, performance improvements, and a new keyboard shortcut to show or hide the Magnetic Mask Editor.
– Use the Quantec QRS (Quantec Room Simulator) effect to create natural and transparent audio reverbs that simulate real acoustic spaces.
– Stay organized by renaming audio effects in the inspector.
– Reveal the source of a multicam angle or synced clip in the browser.
– Move markers in the timeline by dragging them in a clip, or remove markers by dragging them out of a clip. (edited)
Final Cut Pro for the Mac can be downloaded from the Mac App Store. It costs US$299.99. Apple has also updated Motion (its $49.99 motion graphics tool for creating cinematic 2D and 3D titles) and Compressor (its $49.99 encoding companion software for Final Cut Po) tools. Motion has Image Playground integration, and Compressor offers machine learning-powered frame rate retiming.
Here are Apple’s release notes for Final Cut Pro for iPad:
– Expand your editing workflows with support for portrait orientation on your iPad.
– Speed up your editing with keyboard shortcuts to nudge a selection, replace with gap, and lift or overwrite to the primary storyline.
– Get inspired with Image Playground and use Apple Intelligence to quickly create stylized images based on a description, suggested concepts, or people from your Photos library. (Requires iPad with A17 Pro or M1 and later and iPadOS 18.2 or later.)
– Capture in 50 fps for additional editing flexibility and delivery options.
Apple has also updated Final Cut Camera for iPad. Here are Apple’s release notes for the new version of the software that lets users record from up to four devices with footage imported into Final Cut Pro for iPad:
– Quickly switch to the 48 mm telephoto lens to capture the perfect shot. (Requires iPhone 14 Pro or later.)
– Play back your Log videos in SDR or HDR with the vibrancy of the original scene by applying the Apple Log LUT. (Requires iPhone 15 Pro or later.)
– Record videos in Spatial Audio for even more realistic and immersive sound. (Requires iPhone 16.)
– Capture in 50 fps for additional editing flexibility and delivery options.
Final Cut Pro for iPad is available for $49 per year or $4.99 per month, while Final Cut Camera is free.
