“This is our biggest update to Final Cut Pro X since we
completely redesigned it five years ago,” said Susan Prescott,
Apple’s vice president of Apps Product Marketing. “The new version
features a sleek interface and adds powerful new editing features
that go far beyond what’s possible with traditional, track-based
video editing apps; and integration with the revolutionary Touch
Bar gives professional video editors a whole new way to interact
with Final Cut Pro X.”
With the new Magnetic Timeline in Final Cut Pro X, users can
understand their film at a glance with customizable arrangement and
color coding of audio clips based on type or “role” — such as
dialogue, music and effects. It’s simple to create and assign
roles, and give each one a unique color. And in a first for pro
video software, users can simply drag to instantly rearrange the
vertical layout of their timeline or highlight specific audio roles
while editing.
Integration with the Touch Bar on the new MacBook Pro boosts
creativity and productivity by dynamically adapting to each task
and presenting intuitive controls exactly when and where users need
them. While using Final Cut Pro X the Touch Bar lets users
instantly switch between editing tools, adjust audio levels and tap
into useful commands for trimming and playback. It will even
display a color-coded, interactive overview of the entire timeline
so users can navigate their project with the touch of a finger.
A redesigned interface streamlines the layout of Final Cut Pro X
to optimize screen space for MacBook Pro users, while a darker,
flat look puts the focus on the content. Customizable workspaces
lets users adjust window arrangements for different tasks such as
organizing, editing and color grading — even across multiple
monitors. Full support for wide color workflows allows users to
import, edit and deliver video in standard Rec. 601 and Rec. 709
color spaces, or in wide gamut Rec. 2020 color space.
Additional Features in Final Cut Pro 10.3:
• Flow transition creates invisibly smooth jump cuts;
• Remove Attributes allows users to easily delete or reuse
select effects across multiple clips;
• Timecode overlay effect and generator allow users to edit with
a large view of source timecode;
• Support for ProRes MXF, Panasonic V-Log and export of
AVC-Intra;
• Direct video output via Thunderbolt 3 enables high-quality
video monitoring on an external display with a single cable.
Motion 5.3 features a sleek new interface with support for wide
color workflows and 3D text enhancements that improve the
performance and realism of 3D titles. The new Align To behavior
lets users easily connect separate objects to create advanced
animations, and Touch Bar support provides easy access to a wide
range of interactive tools on the new MacBook Pro.
Compressor 4.3 has a new dark look to match Final Cut Pro X and
Motion. Enhancements to iTunes Store® Package creation let users
easily browse, verify and compress packages so they can be
delivered to the iTunes Store faster and fully compliant. Wide
color support ensures end-to-end color fidelity when delivering
files in standard and wide color spaces, and Touch Bar support
simplifies common tasks like setting up batches and adding markers
on the new MacBook Pro.

Final Cut Pro 10.3 is available as a free update today for
existing users, and for $299.99 for new users on the Mac® App
