Final Cut Pro X! (so no FCP8 or 9)

By in Edit equipment, Edit software, News

Quite funny that I’m writing this while waiting on a video render of Final Cut Pro at the moment; Final Cut Pro X Is showed at the Final Cut Supermeet during NAB just a couple of hours ago. So No Final Cut Pro 8 or 9, but Apple’s Magic number 10.

Some quick takes I found on the blogosphere/twitter:

  • Background rendering; Because working in the 64 bit architecture this is finally posible.
  • Native AVC and H.264 editing; Good news for the HDSLR users and the Sony-FS100 and Panasonic AG/AF-100 users.
  • build new from the ground up; which means, beside the 64 bit story a new interface, some found it similar to iMovie.
  • Smart auto corrections: rolling shutter, audio syncing etc, all during ingesting.
  • Price $299.00 via the App Store in June

My quick take: Of course I have to touch it but the specs are quite promising. My core business is doing TV shows and we have a quick turnaround. So Background rendering, native AVC/H264 editing and the auto corrections sounds very handy to me when you have to output 2/3 TV shows a week.

Go check out the presentation:
