Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro updated for the MacBook Pro with M1 Pro and M1 Max

Apple has updated Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro with new features for creative professionals, and optimizations that the company says takes full advantage of the power and performance of the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips in the all-new MacBook Pro.

Bob Borchers, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, says professional video editors using Final Cut Pro on the new MacBook Pro can perform tasks never before possible on a Mac, like the ability to play seven streams of 8K ProRes or color grade 8K HDR video with the new Liquid Retina XDR display — a first for any notebook. 

Final Cut Pro also introduces a new Object Tracker that uses machine learning to automatically detect faces and objects, and match their movement to create titles and effects on any Mac. 

Logic Pro, Apple’s pro music creation software, now comes with a complete set of tools for authoring spatial audio music — allowing anyone to mix and export their songs in Dolby Atmos for Apple Music. And musicians can use up to 3x as many plug-ins for recording on the all-new MacBook Pro with M1 Max. Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro are Universal apps that build upon the breakthrough performance and pro capabilities of macOS Monterey, and both are available today on the Mac App Store.
