Delivery
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 Synchronized 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 system. 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. Skimming lets you efficiently browse hours of material in a more visual way, so you can identify what you want in seconds.

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.

VR headset playback
Watch your 360° video in real time with a VR headset like the HTC Vive. Choose to mirror the headset view in Final Cut Pro or turn off mirroring to watch video in the headset while independently controlling a separate view on your monitor.

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, hue/saturation curves and keyframes to adjust corrections over time. Open the Comparison Viewer to see reference images while grading, and apply camera and creative Look Up Tables (LUTs) for a consistent appearance across your project. All colour correction tools and scopes support High Dynamic Range (HDR) video.

Colour Wheels

Colour Curves

Hue/Saturation Curves
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.

New
Unify your colour story with the Comparison Viewer.
The Comparison Viewer gives you a reference image while you’re grading clips in the timeline to ensure accurate, consistent colour throughout your project.

LUTs. Preset colour with a click.
Final Cut Pro automatically applies the correct transform Look Up Table (LUT) when importing LOG footage recorded with supported cameras from ARRI, Canon, Sony and more. Use the Custom LUT effect to audition and apply creative effects in the timeline.

Image simulates the effect of HDR.
Shed new light with High Dynamic Range video.
Now you can import, edit, grade and deliver incredibly realistic images by using HDR video with Final Cut Pro. Scopes automatically adjust to reflect HDR brightness levels and tone mapping lets you easily convert HDR to Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) output for broadcast.

ProRes RAW.The flexibility of RAW with the performance of ProRes.
Import, edit and grade pristine video with RAW data straight from your camera sensor — without slowing down your edit. Create native ProRes RAW files using Atomos recorders or 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 multistream, real-time 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 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. And ProRes RAW preserves more of the original image data, making it a great format for archiving.

Closed captions. Open to all.
Final Cut Pro now 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.

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 captions’ metadata in your video file or create a separate sidecar file. Captioned videos can be shared directly to YouTube and Vimeo. And you can send your project to Compressor to include captions in a batch or an iTunes Store package.
