In its Mac mini announcement video last month, Apple briefly mentioned an “upcoming” version of Final Cut Pro for Mac. We think Apple will likely announce the update today, as the annual Final Cut Pro Creative Summit conference starts today and includes an Apple Park visit starting at 2 p.m. PT today. Final Cut Pro version 10.7 was unveiled on the same day of the Apple Park conference last year.
Final Cut Pro received its latest feature update, version 10.8, in June. New features include an Enhance Light and Color effect, a Smooth Slo-Mo option for slow-motion visuals, advanced timeline index searching and filtering, and more.
Final Cut Pro is now at version 10.8.1 after a bug-fix update in August. It's possible that the next version will be Final Cut Pro 11 rather than 10.9, given that Logic Pro jumped from 10.8.1 to 11.0 earlier this year.
We recently listed three new features that Apple said would be coming to Final Cut Pro for Mac later this year, including spatial video editing, AI-generated video effects, and AI-generated subtitles. An image of Final Cut Pro in the Mac mini announcement video last month also showed an unreleased “Magnetic Mask” feature that would likely let users isolate moving objects in the foreground of a video.

At least some of these features are likely to be rolled out to an updated version of the Final Cut Pro iPad app. There may also be updates to the companion Final Cut Pro Compressor and Motion apps for Mac and the Final Cut Camera app for iPhone.
In the US, Final Cut Pro currently costs $299.99 on Mac, while the iPad version is a subscription-based app that costs $4.99 per month or $49 per year.
