Final Cut applications receive updates with new features and Apple Intelligence enhancements
Apple has unveiled a series of updates for its Final Cut suite, with enhancements across Final Cut Pro for Mac and iPad, along with changes in Final Cut Camera.
The newest version of Final Cut Pro introduces Apple Intelligence, featuring Image Playground support to assist users in creating stylized images quickly. Users can now add color corrections and effects to an adjustment clip above the timeline and apply them to a range of clips simultaneously. The Magnetic Mask workflows have been enhanced to facilitate faster processes, including performance improvements and a new keyboard shortcut to show or hide the Magnetic Mask Editor. Additionally, users can now utilize the Quantec QRS effect to produce natural and transparent audio reverbs that emulate real-world acoustic spaces. Other updates include the ability to rename 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, and remove markers by dragging them out of a clip.
The reinvigorated Final Cut Pro for iPad unveils new features and enhancements, like support for portrait orientation on the iPad to expand editing workflows. Users can apply keyboard shortcuts to nudge a selection, replace with gap, and lift or overwrite to the primary storyline to boost editing speed. The Image Playground feature with Apple Intelligence is also available on the iPad version. Furthermore, users can capture videos in 50 fps for added flexibility in editing and delivery options.
Meanwhile, the updated Final Cut Camera showcases features like the ability to quickly switch to the 48mm telephoto lens on iPhone 14 Pro or later devices. Users can now play back Log videos in SDR or HDR with the vibrancy of the original scene by applying the Apple Log LUT. Additionally, videos can be recorded in Spatial Audio for an even more immersive and realistic sound experience, but this feature requires an iPhone 16 device. Similar to the iPad version, this update also allows for capturing videos in 50 fps for enhanced editing flexibility and delivery options.
In conclusion, the latest updates from Apple for Final Cut aim to provide users with more efficient workflows and creative possibilities. The new features introduced in Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Pro for iPad, and Final Cut Camera enhance the overall editing experience and support users in achieving their creative vision.
