Apple [1]released Final Cut Pro 11 this week , marking the first major version change in over a decade for its professional video editing software. The update introduces several AI-powered features, including a new "Magnetic Mask" function that automatically tracks objects through video clips for targeted color grading and effects.
The suite now offers on-device automatic caption generation for dialogue tracks and adds support for spatial video editing compatible with Apple Vision Pro. Users can adjust the depth of titles and objects for 3D viewing. The update requires macOS 14.6 and at least 8GB of RAM, with some features exclusive to Apple silicon Macs.
Existing Final Cut Pro X users will receive the upgrade at no cost, while new users can purchase the software for $299. Accompanying updates include Final Cut Camera for iPhone, which now supports H.265 HEVC format for Apple Log footage on iPhone 15/16 Pro models, and Final Cut Pro for iPad 2.1, featuring enhanced automated color grading tools and new creative assets.
Projects created on Mac remain incompatible with the iPad version, PetaPixel reports.

There are still people in this world who thing that in a professional business environment, people should use Apple computers to do media production. Shocking, know, that people would be that uninformed and living in 2006. But for those less familiar who are going to say "yay, more pressure on Adobe and their bullshit" yes, however, Adobe Premiere Elements is a one time fee of $80-100 USD. Just saying.

DaVinci Resolve is free and cross-platform. You can spend $350 on a paid license. They send you a really nifty desktop editing device if you do that, but it's a big-boy editor that can do big-boy work.
In my experience, the only thing Premier is good at is crashing.
