Mac users now embark on a fresh video editing journey with the introduction of Final Cut Pro 11
Final Cut Pro 11, the latest version of Apple's renowned video editing software, is now available. This update brings a host of new features and improvements to the table, making it an exciting prospect for both existing users and newcomers alike.
New Features and Improvements
Spatial Video Editing
Final Cut Pro 11 now supports spatial video editing, enabling users to import, edit, and add effects to footage captured with Apple Vision Pro, the latest iPhone models, and select Canon cameras. Spatial video clips can be adjusted for depth position during the editing process, and can be exported directly to a user's Photos library, viewed immediately on Vision Pro, or shared with others by uploading them to the native visionOS Vimeo app.
Magnetic Timeline and Multicam Editing
The Magnetic Timeline in Final Cut Pro 11 offers a fluid way to trim and edit a project, with a trackless approach. This makes editing more intuitive and efficient. Additionally, multicam editing allows for syncing and switching between multiple angles of a project during playback.
Voice Isolation and Noise Removal
Final Cut Pro 11 introduces voice isolation, which focuses on cutting out everything except the voice to enhance voice audio. It also includes a separate noise removal tool to reduce background hums and sounds, and a loudness adjustment feature for making audio levels more uniform, aiding in optimizing background noise and overall sound clarity.
Enhance Light and Color
Users can now improve color, color balance, contrast, and brightness in video or still images with the Enhance Light and Color feature. This tool automatically improves video or still image color, color balance, contrast, and brightness, saving users valuable time.
Smooth Slo-Mo and Optimizations for Apple Silicon
The Smooth Slo-Mo feature generates high-quality movement from footage captured on iPhone 16 Pro in 4K120 fps. Final Cut Pro 11 also offers optimizations for Apple silicon, allowing for faster playback of 4K and 8K ProRes video at full quality.
New Inks for Live Drawing and Mac Virtual Display
New inks for the Live Drawing feature on iPad let users add animations to videos with expressive new watercolor, crayon, fountain pen, and monoline pen options. The Mac Virtual Display can be used to bring edits into Apple Vision Pro, creating a portable, private, and enormous display for complex workflows. Later this year, Mac Virtual Display will be expandable to a new panoramic size, equivalent to having two 5K monitors side by side.
Pricing and Availability
Final Cut Pro 11 is available as a free update for existing users and for $299.99 for new users on the Mac App Store. Final Cut Pro for iPad 2.1 offers haptic feedback for Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard, providing users with a tactile sensation as they trim clips, move media, navigate the timeline, and resize viewer clips to snapping points.
In conclusion, Final Cut Pro 11 is a significant step forward for video editing software. Its new features and improvements make it a powerful tool for both professionals and hobbyists alike. Whether you're a seasoned video editor or just starting out, Final Cut Pro 11 is definitely worth a look.
