Final Cut Pro 11 for Mac
Apple (MacRumors, MacStories):
In Final Cut Pro 11, editors can access two all-new AI-powered tools: Magnetic Mask and Transcribe to Captions. With Magnetic Mask, editors can effortlessly isolate people and objects in a video clip without the need for a green screen or more time-consuming rotoscoping. This powerful and precise automatic analysis provides additional flexibility to customize backgrounds and environments. Editors can also combine Magnetic Mask with color correction and video effects, allowing them to precisely control and stylize each project. And with Transcribe to Captions, closed captions can be automatically generated in the timeline using an Apple-trained large language model that transcribes spoken audio.

Final Cut Pro for iPad 2.1 brings beloved features to the touch-first editing experience. Powered by Apple silicon, Enhance Light and Color is an intelligent way to improve color, color balance, contrast, and brightness in video or still images in one simple step, and is optimized for SDR, HDR, RAW, and Log-encoded media. With haptic feedback for Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard, users will feel a light pulse as they trim clips, move media, navigate the timeline, and resize viewer clips to snapping points.
The update also includes some smaller new features, changes, and bug fixes, as outlined in the full release notes on Apple’s website.
Honestly, I’m surprised Final Cut Pro 11 for Mac still hasn’t moved to subscription, nor has it moved to Apple-Silicon-only. I was fully expecting the next release to unify around the new distribution model they used for Final Cut Pro for iPad.
Apple burned by no upgrade pricing mechanism 🤣
I don’t think there is any subscription support in VPP yet. Would think they’d need a way to support that model for institutional customers.
Apple today released Logic Pro 11.1 for Mac and Logic Pro 2.1 for iPad, adding new features for songwriting, producing, and mixing.
