Final Cut Pro 7. Seamless Collaboration.

Editors are used to working with directors and clients in the room, as well as with sound, graphics, and other specialists down the hall. Final Cut Pro 7 includes built-in tools that make it easy to work collaboratively, whether you’re in the same building or on the other side of the world.

iChat Theater support

Final Cut Pro 7 lets you work with clients or colleagues in real time from anywhere in the world. Just send your Final Cut Pro video to iChat Theater to let everyone see the same footage while you view dailies, select shots, and make edits.* You can instantly switch the iChat view between clips and sequences as you talk, and turn on a timecode overlay to help identify specific frames.

Integration with other Final Cut Studio applications

As the hub of Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Pro 7 is designed to work seamlessly with the other applications in the suite. Send sequences from Final Cut Pro to Soundtrack Pro, or from Final Cut Pro to Color, with round-trip confidence. You can also send projects to Motion and use Motion templates for titling and other repeated-use graphics. Activate Compressor encoding and delivery templates with a single click using the new Easy Export feature, or send a project to Compressor for custom encoding.

Integration with Final Cut Server

Final Cut Pro 7 is tightly integrated with Final Cut Server 1.5, Apple’s software for media asset management and workflow automation. Drag assets from Final Cut Server into Final Cut Pro for immediate use. Or bring them from other sources into Final Cut Pro, and they’ll be added to the catalog when you check your project back in to Final Cut Server. Use Final Cut Server on a LAN or WAN, or use the power of Xsan to share media across a large number of workstations.

Collaborative workflow with Xsan

Capture once, save time, and share media with multiple editors simultaneously using a consolidated storage pool powered by Xsan. Media management tools in Final Cut Pro make reconnecting and working with media in shared environments easy.
