Apple has announced significant upgrades to its popular Mac-only video editing software Final Cut Pro X, along with companion apps Compressor and Motion.
The new features are primarily designed to streamline and speedup the workflow of video editors, particularly those who work with proxies (lower-res versions of source footage meant to speed up editing) and create footage meant for social media in vertical or square formats.
There are also improvements to working with ProRes RAW, one-step audio crossfades, and performance improvements when working with RED RAW or Canon Cinema RAW Light formats.
In addition to the updates to Final Cut Pro X, Apple has updated its two companion apps Motion (for creating titles and motion graphics) and Compressor (for more expansive video encoding options). Motion gains a stroke filter and support for 3D models, while Compressor gets support for camera LUTs and custom LUT effects.
