With the debut of the new MacBook Pro based on the new M1 Pro and Max chips, Apple has also updated the Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro software to adapt. In the new Final Cut Pro 10.6, you can play 7 8K ProRes video streams at full resolution in the new MBP, and you can use the new Liquid Retina XDR screen to process 8K HDR video grading. At the same time, an “object tracker” will be added to the new version, which can use machine learning to automatically detect faces or objects to help you better create eye-catching dynamics that follow the movement of faces or objects in the video. image”. Movies shot in the movie mode of the iPhone 13 series can also be easily edited in the new version.
In addition, Motion’s rendering speed has been doubled, and it can also play 2 8K video streams with a frame rate of 5 times that of the previous one. Compressor also added the ability to transcode Canon Cinema RAW Light video files into other professional formats for the first time, and can transcode HEVC videos up to 2 times faster than in the past, and transcode ProRes up to 10 times faster.
As for the improvements in Logic Pro 10.7 are mainly focused on spatial audio, the new version now has a complete mixing and rendering tools for all users to use the Dolby Atmos required by Apple Music to create music. Creatives can take advantage of the new mixer and panner options to add surround channels supported by Duobi Atmos to their stereo projects. In addition, the new version is also equipped with the “producer kit” previously launched in GarageBand, allowing users to use the rhythms, loops and samples created by the most popular producers.
For existing users, both software will provide a free download of the new version. If you have considered starting a new MacBook Pro, the new version is still very attractive (especially for FCP users who want to handle 8K movies).
