Final Cut Pro X Gets Big Update With New Multicam Editing Tools

[Maura]

Apple has today announced that it has released a significant update for Final Cut Pro X, its revolutionary professional video editing application. The new, free, update introduces multicam editing that automatically syncs up to 64 angles of videos and photos, as well as advanced chroma keying for handling complex adjustments in the app, and enhanced XML for a richer interchange with third-party apps and plug-ins that support the fast-growing Final Cut Pro X ecosystem. The update also includes a beta of broadcast monitoring that supports Thunderbolt devices as well as PCIe cards.

To go into a little more detail about the new tools for editing multicam projects, Apple says that Final Cut Pro X with the update automatically syncs clips from your shoot with audio waveforms, time and date, or timecode, to create a Multicam Clip with up to 64 angles of video, which can include mixed formats, frame sizes and frame rates. The powerful Angle Editor lets you dive into your Multicam Clip so that you can make precise adjustments, and the Angle Viewer enables you to play back multiple angles simultaneously and cut seamlessly between them. The new, advanced chroma key controls include colour sampling, edge adjustment and light wrap.

If you like the sound of all that, you can download Final Cut Pro X for $299.99 from the Mac App Store: Mac App Store - Final Cut Pro
