Apple updates
Final Cut Pro X to v10.0.2
Apple has
updated
Final Cut Pro X
to version 10.0.3, a significant update to its professional
video editing application, which introduces multicam editing
that automatically syncs up to 64 angles of video and photos;
advanced chroma keying for handling complex adjustments right
in the app; and enhanced XML for a richer interchange with
third party apps and plug-ins that support the Final Cut Pro X
ecosystem. Available as a free update from the Mac App Store,
Final Cut Pro X v10.0.3 also includes a beta of broadcast
monitoring that supports Thunderbolt devices as well as PCIe
cards.
Final Cut Pro X
v10.0.3 includes a collection of new tools for editing
multicam projects. Final Cut Pro X automatically syncs clips
from your shoot using audio waveforms, time and date, or
timecode to create a Multicam Clip with up to 64 angles of
video, which can include mixed formats, frame sizes and frame
rates. The powerful Angle Editor allows you to dive into your
Multicam Clip to make precise adjustments, and the Angle
Viewer lets you play back multiple angles at the same time and
seamlessly cut between them.
Final Cut Pro X
builds upon its one-step chroma key with the addition of
advanced controls including color sampling, edge adjustment
and light wrap. You can tackle complex keying challenges right
in Final Cut Pro X, without having to export to a motion
graphics application, and view your results instantly with
realtime playback.
In the seven
months since launch, the third party ecosystem around Final
Cut Pro X has expanded dramatically. XML-compatible software
like DaVinci Resolve and CatDV provide tight integration for
tasks such as color correction and media management. The new
7toX app from Intelligent Assistance uses XML to import Final
Cut Pro 7 projects into Final Cut Pro X. In addition, some of
the industry's largest visual effects developers, including
GenArts and Red Giant, have developed motion graphics plug-ins
that take advantage of the speed and real-time preview
capabilities of Final Cut Pro X.
Broadcast
monitoring in Final Cut Pro X is currently in beta and allows
you to connect to waveform displays, vectorscopes, and
calibrated, high-quality monitors to ensure that your project
meets broadcast specifications. Final Cut Pro X supports
monitoring of video and audio through Thunderbolt I/O devices,
as well as through third party PCIe cards.

Apple
has announced a new version of the Final Cut Pro X software
Apple
has announced the release of Final
Cut Pro X, a new version of the Pro video
editing software which Apple says "completely
reinvents video editing with a Magnetic Timeline that
lets you edit on a flexible, trackless canvas; Content
Auto-Analysis that categorizes your content upon
import by shot type, media and people; and background
rendering that allows you to work without
interruption".
Final Cut Pro X
is available from the Mac App Store for $299.99.
At the
heart of Final Cut Pro X is the Magnetic Timeline,
a trackless approach to editing your footage that lets
you add and arrange clips wherever you want them,
while other clips instantly slide out of the way. You
can use Clip Connections to link primary story clips
to other elements like titles and sound effects, so
they stay in perfect sync when you move them. You can
even combine related story elements into a Compound
Clip that can be edited as a single clip. The new Auditions
feature lets you swap between a collection of clips to
instantly compare alternate takes.
Content
Auto-Analysis scans your media on import and tags
your content with useful information. Final Cut Pro X
then uses that information to dynamically organize
your clips into Smart Collections, so you can easily
find the clips you want by close up, medium and wide
shots as well as media type and the number of people
in the shot. You can also tag parts of clips with
Range-based keywords to add custom search criteria to
your media.
Completely
rebuilt from the ground up, Final Cut Pro X is a
64-bit app that takes full advantage of the latest Mac
hardware and software so you never have to wait for
the next edit, even if you're working with 4K video.
Final Cut Pro X uses multi-threaded processing and the
GPU on your graphics card for blazing fast background
rendering and superb real-time playback performance.
Additionally, a ColorSync-managed color pipeline
ensures color consistency from import to output.
Final
Cut Pro X also includes powerful tools for audio
editing and color correction, and is complemented by
two companion apps, Motion 5 for professional
motion graphics and Compressor 4 for advanced
media encoding, available from the Mac App Store for
$49.99 each.
Pricing
& Availability
Final
Cut Pro X is available today for $299.99 from the Mac
App Store. Motion 5 and Compressor 4 are available
