A few days ago the update of Final Cut Pro X to version 10.4.1 and in Soy de Mac we anticipated their news. But in this case the announcement was not preceded by the immediate availability of the updated version to users.
Instead, today has been the day chosen by Apple to update or buy directly, if you don't have it, the definitive version, not only of Final Cut, but also of the two add-ons for the profession video editor, most used on Mac: Compressor and Motion.
Yes, new features will only be added to the latest Macs. The video editing market has grown a lot in recent years, with the output of resolutions of 4k, 5k and 8k, as well as cameras that capture 360º images. This forces manufacturers to invest in hardware that is up to par, and Apple was not going to be less.
So, if you're lucky to have a 2016 or 2017 MacBook Pro, an iMac from the same years, or a 2013 Mac Pro, you can surely take advantage of all the Apple news. Soon we will know the gain of working with these new native formats and the gain of rendering, compared to the use of other formats. Weeks ago we saw the progress of Apple's great competitor in this segment, Premiere Pro. Even so, Apple has achieved a fluidity and speed of working with Final Cut Pro on a Mac, even if the equipment is not very recent or does not have a configuration totally professional.
Among the novelties, we find the integration with the ProRes RAW format, as well as tools for creating and editing subtitles. Oriented to the professional world, Apple is required to publish and update cameras capable of exporting their content with the applicationBoth conventional cameras and those that capture 360º images. To do this, Apple offers us a page that updates relatively frequently, where all compatible models appear.
