Last night Apple held a short conference in Las Vegas last night where a submitted for the first time Final Cut Pro X together with all its novelties. Apple defines the new version as a complete rewrite of the application that now also has a 64-bit version plus support for Grand Central Dispatch that will allow you to use all processor cores to render. For now, only Final Cut Pro has been updated, the other Final Cut Studio applications remain at their current versions and it is not known when exactly Apple will release updates for them. Final Cut Pro X will be available only from the summer in the Mac AppStore at the price of $299.
- Crowd is unruly!
- Final Cut X is a full rebuild from scratch
- 64 bit – Crowd: “finally!” "thank you!"
- Cocoa, Core Animation, Open CL, Grand Central Dispatch support
- The focus was on image quality
- Fully color managed
- Resolution independent playback/timeline all the way up to 4K
- Features people detection, single or in groups
- Non-destructive auto color balance
- Automatic audio cleanup (option to auto noise reduce audio, more)
- Features "smart collections": a lot like the smart folders found in OS X
- Editing can start immediately during importing of AVCHD and other media, switches silently to local media as it ingests
- Uses every available cpu cycle to keep things rendered. Also highly scalable. Will even work on a Macbook
- No interruption for rendering. No transcoding, EVERYTHING native. (incl DSLR footage–assume this means AVC)
- Presentation received a standing ovation!
