What’s new in Final Cut Pro?

Playback and effects
Significant improvements in the Final Cut Pro playback interface and powerful new effects
features will empower your workflow.
•
Improved retiming lets you set custom speeds easier than ever—by typing frame rates directly
in the interface. You can also create jump cuts at specific frames, replace and retime in one
step, and retime clips without rippling the Timeline. For more information, see
on page 300.
•
A new stabilization method called InertiaCam has been optimized to smooth video footage
containing camera moves such as pans and zooms. Tripod Mode creates the effect of a static
camera, as if it were mounted on a tripod.
•
An improved optical flow algorithm makes retiming and frame rate conform speedier than
ever. In addition, for Macs with two GPUs, the optical flow algorithm now makes use of both
GPUs, providing a more than 2x speed increase over a single GPU.
•
You can now create custom project resolutions for web video, digital signage, and other
nonstandard frame sizes.
•
New controls in the Viewer menu let you switch between better playback quality and better
playback performance. There’s also a control to switch between proxy media and original or
optimized media.
•
And you can now view all pixels of a 2K frame on a MacBook Pro with Retina display.
Editing
Improved editing tools give you more creative flexibility than ever.
•
Through edits are now supported in all types of clips. The new Join Clips command removes
cuts from bladed Timeline clips.
•
You can detach the audio portion of multicam clips in the Timeline to manipulate audio and
video separately. You can also make video-only or audio-only edits into the Timeline with
multicam clips as sources.
•
You can blade audio cuts in J- and L-cuts separately from the video. And you can now roll the
audio in open split edits.
•
If no clips are selected in the Timeline, a white dot now appears on the playhead to indicate
the clip whose attributes are shown in the Inspector.
•
Moving clips with transitions is now easier.
For more information, see
on page 87.

When it’s time to export your project, there are several new Share options:
•
You can share 4K finished videos directly to YouTube.
•
You can share videos directly to the Chinese video sharing websites Youku and Tudou.
•
And you can receive notifications on the status of items you shared.
For more information, see
on page 399.
Audio
Audio fade handles have been added to individual audio channels in the Timeline. For more
information, see
