From today we can download the long-awaited version 10.4 of Final Cut Pro X with all the news that had been announced to us. First of all, it supports files in HEVC format, the new video format used by Apple in iOS 11 and High Sierra. On the one hand, the latest version of our Mac's operating system supports this new video standard, but Apple has waited as usual for the release of its new and powerful Mac, the iMac Pro. Recall that the 10.3 version it came out right with the presentation of the 2016 MacBook Pro.
But it brings much more than the new formats. Already we can edit videos using virtual reality tools. We are talking about the famous 360 degree videos. On the other hand,
It is possible, but this will depend on the hardware characteristics of each Mac. Going into more detail, many of us who like to edit home videos are amazed at the detailed calibration of the exposure, saturation and color parameters. Now some circles allow us more control and management in the adjustment of light and color.
Another novelty are the tools of dropper. Like photo-editing applications, these eyedroppers allow users to sample specific colors and apply white balance manually.
It is also easier from this new version, apply specific LUTs of our camera, so that the import of content, especially if we record with several cameras, does not show us great contrasts of light, saturation and color.
And finally, if our Apple TV 4k reproduces content in HDR, FCP X is capable of tuning with the high dynamic range, both in the edition, and when working with an external monitor that works in HDR.
If you already have FCP X you can access the final version from now on. But it might be time to edit like a pro and you want to get the current version. In that case, you can enchant it in the Mac Apple Store at a price of € 329,99
