Storytelling at its most powerful.
Unrivalled pro performance.
With optimisations for Apple silicon and the power of its Metal engine, Final Cut Pro allows you to edit more complex projects and work with larger frame sizes, higher frame rates and more effects — all at incredible speeds. And it’s built to harness the extreme power of Mac Pro, Mac Studio or MacBook Pro for next-level performance.
Optimised for Apple silicon
Final Cut Pro features breathtaking performance and efficiency on Mac computers with Apple silicon. Tap into superfast unified memory shared across the CPU, the GPU and the Apple Neural Engine to play back more high-resolution video streams and render your movie in record time.
The tools you need. From start to finishing.
With great features and an intuitive design, Final Cut Pro accelerates post-production. So editors can create and deliver at the speed of thought.
The Magnetic Timeline allows you to easily experiment with story ideas by moving and trimming clips without collisions or sync problems. Use Compound Clips to bundle separate video and audio clips into a single movable package, create Auditions to try out multiple takes in the timeline and use Synchronised Clips to align video with second-source audio automatically. Colour coding makes it easy to identify different types of content, with the ability to customise the look of your timeline while you edit.
Final Cut Pro offers the most advanced organising tools of any professional video editing application. Easily tag entire clips or clip ranges with metadata for searching, and create Smart Collections that automatically collect content according to a set of custom criteria. In the browser, you can now create and save custom column views and search for media using clip names, markers and notes. Also quickly sort clips by proxy, optimised or missing media types.
Create 2D and 3D titles right in Final Cut Pro, apply and modify filters, and use the built-in chroma key for high-quality green- and blue-screen effects. Expand on the built-in effects with thousands of third-party tools and templates. And for even more control, use Motion to create stunning titles, transitions, generators and effects you can access from Final Cut Pro.
Final Cut Pro lets you edit multi-channel audio using built-in tools like Voice Isolation to enhance speech by reducing background noise and optimising levels. Adjust multi-channel audio files in the timeline or open the inspector for more information and options. Choose from dozens of bundled plug-ins for audio compression, EQ and more — or send to a professional audio application like Logic Pro for advanced audio mixing.
Quickly encode video using the power of multicore CPUs and high-performance GPUs. Take advantage of presets to deliver ultra-high-quality masters or files optimised for iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and websites like YouTube and Vimeo. And batch exporting makes it fast to deliver multiple files or projects in multiple formats. You can also use Compressor to create custom export settings that appear right in Final Cut Pro.
Duplicate Detection
Quickly display any audio or video that appears more than once in your project with highlighted clip ranges in the timeline. Or you can list all matches in the Timeline Index. Select a clip to show its duplicates and use keyboard shortcuts to instantly navigate between them.
Multicam
The industry’s most advanced multicam editing lets you automatically sync up to 64 angles of video with different formats, frame sizes and frame rates. View up to 16 angles at once in the Angle Viewer. And open the Angle Editor timeline to move, sync, trim, add effects or colour grade individual clips.
Motion and Compressor
Create stunning effects and sweeping graphics with Motion, including studio-quality 2D and 3D titles you can open and adjust in Final Cut Pro. Use Compressor to create custom export settings and streamline delivery of your movie to the iTunes Store. And because Final Cut Pro, Motion and Compressor all share the same Metal architecture, you’ll experience blazing performance and consistent rendering across applications.
Advanced colour grading.
Every pixel closer to perfection.
Professional colour grading tools are built into Final Cut Pro, including a dedicated colour inspector with colour wheels, colour curves and hue/saturation curves. Use keyframes to adjust corrections over time, and apply camera and creative Look Up Tables (LUTs) for the perfect look. All colour grading tools and scopes support High Dynamic Range (HDR) video.
Unique colour wheels improve on traditional controls by combining hue, saturation and brightness into a single, simple interface.
Colour and luminance curves allow ultra-fine-level adjustments with multiple control points to target specific colour and brightness ranges.
Sample a colour with an eyedropper and change just the hue, saturation or luminance of a specific colour within the image.
High Dynamic Range
Work closer to reality than ever before with HDR video. Import, edit, grade and deliver incredibly lifelike images with Final Cut Pro. Shoot on industry-standard cinema cameras, or in stunning Dolby Vision with the latest iPhone models. High-resolution scopes reflect HDR brightness levels as you edit. And the new Automatic Colour Conform feature lets you instantly tone-map video, still images, generators and Motion titles — from SDR to HDR or from HDR to SDR.
HDR on Apple displays
The industry-leading Liquid Retina XDR display delivers 1,000 nits of sustained brightness and 1,600 nits of peak brightness, amazing contrast and vivid colours — perfect for HDR editing, grading and delivery with Final Cut Pro. Or connect the Pro Display XDR to your Mac for a full 6K HDR playback and finishing solution.
ProRes RAW.The flexibility of RAW with the performance of ProRes.
Import, edit and grade original, untouched footage with RAW data right from your camera sensor — without sacrificing any speed or smoothness. Create native ProRes RAW files using Atomos recorders and the DJI Inspire 2 drone and experience all the creative advantages of RAW with the real-time performance of ProRes.
ProRes performance
Remarkably smooth playback and real-time, multi-stream editing are part of the ProRes RAW package. The format is optimised for macOS and the latest Mac computers, allowing you to render and export faster than with other RAW formats. And if you’re working on Mac Studio or MacBook Pro, the M1 Ultra, M2 Pro and M2 Max chips further accelerate ProRes RAW performance. Since ProRes RAW files are smaller than standard formats, you can fit more footage on every card.
RAW flexibility
Work with untouched image data directly from your camera sensor. RAW files provide maximum flexibility for adjusting the look of your video while extending brightness and shadows — an ideal combination for HDR workflows. The new ProRes RAW Settings window in Final Cut Pro provides enhanced options for ISO, colour temperature and exposure offset from supported devices for an even deeper level of control. And now camera makers can enable their native colour processing with the new ProRes RAW plug-in architecture.
360° video. Take your work further. In every direction.
Final Cut Pro includes a complete toolset for importing, editing and delivering both monoscopic and stereoscopic 360° video.
360° editing
Import and edit 360° equirectangular footage in Final Cut Pro. Open the 360° viewer to visualise a headset view of your footage, and take advantage of simple tools for changing orientation, straightening the horizon, removing camera rigs and more.
360° graphics and effects
Easily add 2D and 3D titles to your 360° video and apply blurs, glows and other 360° effects. Or create more advanced 360° motion graphics in Motion, then add them directly to your Final Cut Pro project. You can even add 360° video to standard projects, using the Tiny Planet effect to create spherical looks and animations.
Closed captions. Open to all.
Final Cut Pro includes an intuitive, comprehensive set of tools for closed captioning in a variety of formats, without the need for expensive third-party software or services. You can create, view and edit captions within Final Cut Pro, and deliver them as part of your video or as a separate file.
Add an existing caption file to your project and Final Cut Pro automatically connects each caption to the corresponding video or audio clip in your timeline.
Type captions from scratch — in multiple languages and formats — and watch the text play back in real time right in the viewer. Or use third-party services in a workflow extension to automatically transcribe clips and convert them into captions.
Attach captions to connected audio or video clips in the timeline so they move in sync with your edit. It’s easy to adjust text, colour, location and timing in the captions inspector. And the enhanced Timeline Index lets you quickly search and select captions, or use captions roles to instantly switch between different versions.
Export captions in the industry-standard CEA-608, iTT or SRT formats. Or burn them directly into your video. When delivering, you can choose to embed caption metadata in your video file or create a separate sidecar file. Captioned videos can be exported for YouTube and Vimeo. And you can send your project to Compressor to include captions in a batch or an iTunes Store package.
