Apple has released the latest incarnation of its professional-level video editing software. The new version has been completely rebuilt from the ground up and features a new interface that may initially puzzle long term users. Central to Final Cut Pro X is the magnetic timeline, designed to fluidly and intuitively slide clips into position as you edit coupled with Clip Connections that allow you to group related elements together to avoid the irritating out-of-sync issues associated with track based editing. When importing media the program now auto-scans the content and automatically generates tags and smart collections, while a new Auditions feature lets you switch between alternative takes to find the best shot. The long rendering times associated with Final Cut Pro 7 have been reduced, the new release adds background rendering and full exploitation of multi-threaded and GPU processing.
Final Cut Pro X has a new lower price point of $299.99 with Motion 5 and Compressor 4 adding an extra $49.99 each. All three are exclusively available on the Mac App Store. More at Apple.

So you can start over. Isn’t this the great thing about software. The flexibility to reinvent yourself. If you could get a do over in life would you take it? Take the best and make it better and drop or fix the thing that don’t work.
