In the meantime, you can listen to the podcast I did with David as he left the Final Cut Pro User Group Super Meet Up at NAB this year following Apple’s FCP presentation.ĭavid Leitner on Final Cut Pro X by FilmmakerMag Check back to this blog over the next few days for his initial impressions and a more fully considered review. “Final Cut Pro X is incredibly modern and fast, but most importantly it lets you focus on telling your story in the most creative way, while it actively manages all of the technical details.”įilmmaker was given an advance copy of the new Final Cut Pro, and Leitner has been test-driving it for the last week, even using it to cut a new short project he’s working on. “I’m blown away by what Apple has done with Final Cut Pro,” said Angus Wall, Academy Award-winning film editor. “We have shown it to many of the world’s best Pro editors, and their jaws have dropped.” “Final Cut Pro X is the biggest advance in Pro video editing since the original Final Cut Pro,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. Built on a modern 64-bit architecture, Final Cut Pro X is available from the Mac® App Store™ for $299.99.

I think it’s revolutionary, in a democratic sense, to spend years to overhaul an epochal product to make it more powerful, more protean, yet more accessible, with the goal that my teenaged daughter and Walter Murch would both edit with the same software.Īpple® today announced Final Cut Pro® X, a revolutionary new version of the world’s most popular Pro video editing software which 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. With FCP X, Apple is returning to the one-size-fits-all ethos of the original FCP. Available for $299 from the Apple Store, the new FCP is both drastically lower in price than the previous version and contains numerous improvements, including, wrote David Leitner at NAB this Spring, a “dramatically revamped interface, 64-bit processor capability, no more RAM ceiling of 4GB, and continual background rendering by means of unused CPU cycles.” Leitner’s takeaway then:

This morning Apple released its long awaited, ground-up rethink of its professional editing software, Final Cut Pro. However, if you’re serious about your shoots then Final Cut Pro X is excellent value for money.UPDATE: Read David Leitner’s first take on Final Cut Pro X here. It isn’t aimed at pros (that’s Premiere Pro’s job Elements is designed for home videos) but it expands your editing repertoire and boasts some useful AI-driven tools.

If you’ve outgrown iMovie then Final Cut Pro X is the obvious upgrade and much less intimidating than before, but while FCPX may be better value than ever it’s still a pretty hefty investment.įor more casual use you might want to consider Adobe Premiere Elements, which currently retails for about £80. The app is also ready for HDR (High Dynamic Range) video and boasts professional colour management and correction together with superb multi-camera editing and very good audio editing. One of the big differences between FCPX and iMovie is its support for 360-degree virtual reality, which includes support for the leading VR headsets (for example you can emulate the HTC Vive) and 360-degree cameras.Īdding 3D, 360-degree titles is a lot of fun, and you can apply effects such as blurs and glows. If you have a MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, you also get context specific tools that are particularly good for new users. Editing is fast and easy, and we particularly like Compound Clips: it enables you to group video, audio and other elements together so you can move them around together or just reduce the amount of detail in your timeline. They’re colour-coded for easy identification. Your various clips are organized into what FCPX calls Roles, which categorise your clips: dialogue, effects, music and so on.

It has integrated uploading to YouTube, Facebook and Vimeo as well as a wide range of video output formats.

There's a huge selection of effects – not just video but audio, transitions and title effects too – and you can add more from third party specialists.
