Apple has released Final Cut Pro for iPad 2 and Final Cut Pro for Mac 10.8 with artificial intelligence-driven organizational updates that make workflows more efficient.
Final Cut Pro for iPad 2 unleashes the remarkable capabilities of the new iPad Pro with the outrageously fast M4 chip, enabling up to 2x faster rendering and supporting up to 4x more streams of ProRes RAW than with M1. With the all-new Live Multicam feature, users can wirelessly connect and preview up to four cameras at once, all in one place. Using a combination of iPhone and iPad devices, users will have a director's view of each camera and manual control of their preferences using the all-new pro app Final Cut Camera. Final Cut Camera powers Live Multicam and also works as a standalone recording app on iPhone and iPad, with the ability to adjust settings like manual focus, shutter speed, ISO, and more.
For more storage flexibility while working with large files, Final Cut Pro for iPad 2 now supports external projects, a top-requested feature. Users can create new projects or open an existing project without taking up internal storage space. Final Cut Pro for iPad 2 also supports the new Apple Pencil Pro, leveraging barrel roll for more precise control of Live Drawing tools, and squeeze to quickly pull up brushes and settings.
What's New in Final Cut Pro 2.0 for iPad:
• Connect to Final Cut Camera on iPad or iPhone to record up to four angles at once using Live Multicam.
• Easily create and edit projects on a connected external storage device.
• Dial in your exposure with shutter speed and ISO controls in pro camera mode.
• Enable focus peaking to ensure your footage is sharp while recording.
• Polish your videos with 12 new color grading presets, 6 dynamic glitch backgrounds, 20 soundtracks, 8 basic text titles, and more.
