Description
Final Cut Pro blends advanced video editing tools and smart media management with the incredible performance of your Mac — giving you the freedom to create at the speed of thought.
Advanced Video Editing
The Magnetic Timeline makes editing fast and flexible with advanced metadata and Clip Connections. You can drag and drop audio roles for easier timeline organization, and with Object Tracker, titles and effects stay perfectly synced with faces and objects in motion.
If you’re shooting with iPhone Cinematic Mode, you can adjust focus points and depth of field right inside Final Cut Pro (requires macOS Monterey or later). Multicam support lets you edit footage from up to 64 camera angles, and Smart Conform makes it easy to adapt horizontal videos into vertical or square formats automatically.
Support for 360-degree video means you can edit immersive content with full control, and built-in tools for closed captioning make your projects accessible. You can even expand Final Cut’s features using third-party extensions.
Efficient Media Management
Organize your assets with libraries for better project control and team collaboration. Generate proxy media to improve mobility and editing speed. Use custom keywords to tag parts of your clips, and create Smart Collections that update dynamically for faster content retrieval. Duplicate detection helps avoid confusion by highlighting overlapping footage right on the timeline.
Unmatched Performance
Final Cut Pro is fully optimized for Apple silicon, including M2 Pro, M2 Max, and M2 Ultra, delivering blazing performance for demanding tasks. You can edit a wide range of formats including ProRes, RED, XAVC, AVCHD, DNxHD, H.264, and HEVC, all with top-tier speed and responsiveness.
Creative Effects and Titles
Add high-quality 2D and 3D titles with smooth animations. Tweak styles, transitions, and effects using intuitive on-screen controls. Plus, FxPlug plugins let you explore even more creative options with custom UIs.
Built-in Audio Editing Tools
Assign audio roles during import, making it easier to manage and organize audio components. Expand multichannel clips, apply Logic-based effects, and clean up background noise for clear voice recordings. Final Cut can even sync separate audio tracks by analyzing waveforms in real time.
Intuitive Color Grading
Work in Rec. 709, Rec. 2020, or HLG color spaces with powerful, visual color wheels and curves. With native HDR playback on MacBook Pro and Pro Display XDR, what you see is what your audience gets.
Smooth Export and Sharing
Export projects for playback on Apple devices, or upload directly to YouTube, Vimeo, and more. Create multiple versions using role-based metadata, and use XML import/export for pro workflows like color correction or audio mixing.
