RT Extreme with Dynamic RT

RT Extreme with Dynamic RT delivers industry-leading real-time performance for DV, SD, HDV, DVCPRO HD and fully uncompressed HD video. RT Extreme delivers real-time playback of more than 150 effects — as well as multiple streams of video used for picture-in-picture effects and multicamera editing.

Create professional split-screen and picture-in-picture effects using an unlimited number of video layers.

Using Picture in Picture

Enjoy maximum performance on systems ranging from a MacBook Pro to powerful desktop systems. Dynamic RT analyses your system’s capabilities and adjusts video playback quality and frame rate on the fly. If you prefer, set preferences to favour playback quality or frame rate as the video plays back.

Dramatic filters and effects

Make your project memorable by choosing from more than 150 real-time capable filters and effects, many of which use high-resolution 32-bit float image processing to produce stunning film-quality results.

Then extend your repertoire even further by bringing in third-party filters based on the FxPlug standard — the same format used to produce the extraordinary real-time effects in Motion. Dozens of leading developers support the FxPlug standard for real-time GPU-accelerated plug-ins at 32-bit float quality.

SmoothCam

Smooth out shaky scenes without altering zooms, pans, dollies, and other standard camera movements. The new SmoothCam feature in Final Cut Pro 6 uses sophisticated optical flow technology to analyse and adjust your problem shots. Because SmoothCam works in the background, you can edit other material while it analyses the shaky footage.

Smooth out shaky scenes by automatically removing unwanted camera movements.

Editable Motion 3 master templates

Whether you’re creating program opens, promos, bumpers, or any other repeating element, you can’t afford to waste time rebuilding the graphics every time you need to swap out footage or update the text.

New Motion 3 master templates for Final Cut Pro make it easy to update content such as video clips, titles, and lower thirds, while preserving the underlying motion graphics. The templates include video drop zones and editable text fields that let you rapidly create multiple versions, all without leaving Final Cut Pro.

Or use a second display, such as an Apple Cinema HD Display or any DVI-based device, for video output.
