Apple on Wednesday released Final Cut Pro 11 for Mac with key new features including AI-generated subtitles, spatial video editing, and a Magnetic Mask tool for isolating people and objects in video. The update also includes some smaller new features, changes, and bug fixes, as outlined in the full release notes on Apple's website.
Many of these features were already described in the Final Cut Pro 11 release notes on the App Store, but the notes on Apple's website are a little more complete, revealing some specific new keyboard shortcuts and a list of bug fixes.
Apple also highlighted some of the new features in the Final Cut Pro User Guide.
Full release notes:
Final Cut Pro 11.0 includes the following improvements:
- Expand your creative freedom with the revolutionary AI-powered Magnetic Mask to isolate people, objects, and shapes in any footage without a green screen or time-consuming manual rotoscoping (Mac with Apple Silicon recommended).
- Use Transcribe to Captions to automatically generate captions from spoken audio in the timeline using a powerful AI language model built for speed and accuracy (requires Mac with Apple Silicon and macOS Sequoia or later).
- Import and edit spatial video clips from Apple Vision Pro or iPhone 15 Pro or later; add titles, color correction, and effects; and share immersive spatial projects that can be viewed on Apple Vision Pro (requires Mac with Apple Silicon).
- Edit in the timeline at 90, 100, and 120 fps.
- Reduce browser clutter by automatically hiding source clips when creating synced clips or multicam clips.
- Speed up your creative process with the new Picture-in-Picture and Callout effects.
- Create interesting visual displays with new modular transitions.
- Use Vertical Scale to Fit to scale the height of clips to fit them in the timeline.
- Reorder vertically stacked clips with a new keyboard shortcut.
- Quickly navigate through clips in the clip list and edit clip text with a new keyboard shortcut.
- Be more efficient with additional new keyboard shortcuts, including Rename Clip, Show/Hide Audio Tracks, Expand/Collapse Subrolls, Half-Speed Forward/Reverse, Merge Motion Content, Insert Timecode, and Show Horizon.
- Install third-party media extensions to support playback and editing of more video formats (requires macOS Sequoia or later version).
Additional support and bug fixes:
- Improves performance on timelines that contain a large number of markers.
- Fixed an issue where the event alert icon would not disappear after relinking all missing media.
- Fixed an issue where the cloud generator was partially transparent.
- Fixed an issue where the Collapse into Linked Storyline command would cut off audio if the audio was a lead.
- Added support for exporting uncompressed or ProRes MXF video with 32 kHz audio.
- Added support for exporting directly to Photos library.
- Updates FCPXML to version 1.13.
Final Cut Pro 11 is now available as a free update for existing users of the app. In the US, the app still costs $299.99 on the Mac App Store for new users. Some new features require a Mac with an M1 chip or later.
