Holy Cow. $299 for Final Cut Pro X. Downloads directly to your computer. Available in June. Apple is making a huge statement: we want to rule the editing universe.
If you’ve been around this blog, you know that we have some pretty heavy-duty uses for Final Cut Pro. I edited Dying to do Letterman on FCP, the entire Scream Queens series was edited on Final Cut Pro, and we’ve pretty much built our company on the software.
A Brand New Look and Feel
Photos like this are floating around the web:
That’s a very different looking interface. Still, I’m excited about all the changes. Most interesting to me:
- Big improvements in working with audio
- 4k editing
- no more rendering
- native editing of DSLR footage
- auto-syncing of multiple cameras
The list goes on. Apple still hasn’t updated their site, so waiting for the official list to pop up.
But this really is a NEW Final Cut Pro…different in every way. So I’m anxious to see how this new version will change my personal editing style.
What do you think? Planning on upgrading? While it’s all very exciting, as always, it’s not the tool, it’s the user that makes a great edit. But nice tools do help.
More to come…
