The first choice for professional editors everywhere, Final Cut Pro delivers powerful and precise editing tools that work with virtually any format, from DV and native HDV to fully uncompressed HD. With a real-time multi stream effects architecture, multi cam editing tools, advanced color correction and intuitive integration with other Apple professional video and audio applications, Final Cut Pro gives you more creative options and technical control than ever before.

Native HDV Support Unlike other solutions, Final Cut Pro acquires HDV media and keeps it in the original format, transferring it into the system without any generation loss. Output back to an HDV camera or deck, or transfer your native HDV to DVD for an end-to-end native HDV workflow.

Multicam Editing Simultaneously view and cut from multiple sources in real time, thanks to new multicam editing for DV, SD and HD. Group up to 128 sources together into multi-clips, then add or subtract cameras at any time for maximum flexibility. Switch from shot to shot, with or without effects, and auto-assemble sequences based on time-of-day time code.

RT Extreme with Dynamic RT Save time with real-time effects processing on everything from DV to fully uncompressed HD. New Dynamic RT adjusts image quality and frame rate on the fly for optimal playback and scales performance as CPU power increases. You define Dynamic RT preferences for total control.

Multichannel Audio Capture and output up to 24 channels of high resolution 24-bit, 96kHz audio in a single pass. Final Cut Pro is fully compatible with these MCP (Mackie Control Protocol) devices: Mackie Control, Mackie Control XT, Logic Control, and Logic Control XT. So you can use external audio control surfaces to mix and record multiple fader automations simultaneously — and enjoy two-way communication between your system and the control surface.
