Yesterday we already announced that today the new Mac Pro would go on sale, one of the most powerful machines for professional work, and best of all is its small size, something that makes it (probably) the best computer of the moment. And it is that Apple seems to be worrying about the professional sector again, something that it had forgotten to focus on consumer computing, but the 'pro' has returned.
Final Cut was one of Apple's best tools focused on professional terrain, is the Apple video editor that was able to overtake the editor par excellence: Avid. A Final Cut Pro 7 that became the standard tool of many video editors (both in cinema and on TV), but that 'failed' with its version 10. Final Cut Pro X made many professionals take their heads blacking out the show as iMovie makeup. The truth is that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), has tried to listen to the demand of these users and Tried adding the features that the pros demanded, Final Cut Pro X is now updated to version 10.1
Keep in mind that this new version is only compatible with OS X 10.9 onwards, so you will have to update (yes or yes) to Mavericks.
Final Cut Pro x 10.1 is an update that incorporates professional workflows in 4K resolutions among many other new features. And the novelty that will make many (novice) users start with Final Cut Pro X is the translation to Spanish, something that many demanded. Although on this I say that I think it is more convenient to work with software in English since not everything is translated as it should.
These are all the news in this new version of Final Cut Pro x:
