Storytelling at its most powerful.

Object Tracker and Cinematic mode.
Unrivaled pro performance.
Editing, audio, motion graphics, color grading, and delivery.
Automatic HDR workflows for next-level creativity.

Object Tracker and Cinematic mode.

Elevate your creativity with the Object Tracker. Final Cut Pro uses powerful machine learning to detect faces and objects, then matches their movement with titles and effects. It also allows you to adjust focus points and depth of field on clips captured in Cinematic mode on iPhone.1

Creativity that moves.

Use the Object Tracker to add dynamic text or colour correction to moving footage. Drag a title, graphic or effect directly into the viewer to detect faces and other objects using powerful machine learning. Analyze the motion of your target — accelerated by the Apple Neural Engine — in a single click and instantly match its movement. Apply tracking data to other text and graphics to enhance your work even more.

The ultimate
cinematic effect.

Final Cut Pro can transform the look of video shot in Cinematic mode on iPhone.1 With a revolutionary click-to-track feature, you can choose focus points in a shot and change them over time. You can also adjust a clip’s depth‑of‑field effect with a slider in the inspector, or use keyframes to change the amount of blur in already captured material.

Unrivalled pro performance.

With optimizations for Apple silicon and the power of its Metal engine, Final Cut Pro allows you to edit more complex projects and work with larger frame sizes, higher frame rates and more effects — all at incredible speeds. And it’s built to harness the extreme power of Mac Pro, Mac Studio or MacBook Pro for next-level performance.

Optimized for Apple silicon

Final Cut Pro features breathtaking performance and efficiency on Mac computers with Apple silicon. Tap into superfast unified memory shared across the CPU, the GPU and the Apple Neural Engine to play back more high-resolution video streams and render your movie in record time.

Built for extreme speed
on Mac Studio

Fully optimized for M1 Max and M1 Ultra on Mac Studio, Final Cut Pro transforms your video post-production with unrivalled performance. Complex tasks, like video analysis for object tracking or automatic cropping, are lightning fast on the Apple Neural Engine. And with M1 Ultra, ProRes performance is astonishing — with more streams of full-quality playback than ever before. Creators can work in 8K ProRes video and handle advanced editing, effects work and colour correction all in real time — no rendering required.

The tools you need. From start to finishing.

With great features and an intuitive design, Final Cut Pro accelerates post-production. So editors can create and deliver at the speed of thought.

Duplicate Detection

Quickly display any audio or video that appears more than once in your project with highlighted clip ranges in the timeline. Or you can list all matches in the Timeline Index. Select a clip to show its duplicates and use keyboard shortcuts to instantly navigate between them.

Multicam

The industry’s most advanced multicam editing lets you automatically sync up to 64 angles of video with different formats, frame sizes and frame rates. View up to 16 angles at once in the Angle Viewer. And open the Angle Editor timeline to move, sync, trim, add effects or colour grade individual clips.

Motion and Compressor

Create stunning effects and sweeping graphics with Motion, including studio-quality 2D and 3D titles you can open and adjust in Final Cut Pro. Use Compressor to create custom export settings and streamline delivery of your movie to the iTunes Store. And because Final Cut Pro, Motion and Compressor all share the same Metal architecture, you’ll experience blazing performance and consistent rendering across applications.

Advanced colour grading.
Every pixel closer to perfection.

Professional colour grading tools are built into Final Cut Pro, including a dedicated colour inspector with colour wheels, colour curves and hue/saturation curves. Use keyframes to adjust corrections over time, and apply camera and creative Look Up Tables (LUTs) for the perfect look. All colour grading tools and scopes support High Dynamic Range (HDR) video.

High Dynamic Range

Work closer to reality than ever before with HDR video. Import, edit, grade and deliver incredibly lifelike images with Final Cut Pro. Shoot on industry-standard cinema cameras, or in stunning Dolby Vision with the latest iPhone models. High-resolution scopes reflect HDR brightness levels as you edit. And the new Automatic Color Conform feature lets you instantly tone-map video, still images, generators and Motion titles — from SDR to HDR or from HDR to SDR.

Image simulates the effect of HDR.

HDR on Apple displays

The industry-leading Liquid Retina XDR display delivers 1000 nits of sustained brightness and 1600 nits of peak brightness, amazing contrast and vivid colours — perfect for HDR editing, grading and delivery with Final Cut Pro. Or connect the Pro Display XDR to your Mac for a full 6K HDR playback and finishing solution.

ProRes RAW. The flexibility of RAW with the performance of ProRes.

Import, edit and grade original, untouched footage with RAW data straight from your camera sensor — without sacrificing any speed or smoothness. Create native ProRes RAW files using Atomos recorders and the DJI Inspire 2 drone and experience all the creative advantages of RAW with the real-time performance of ProRes.

ProRes performance

Remarkably smooth playback and real-time, multistream editing are part of the ProRes RAW package. The format is optimized for macOS and the latest Mac computers, allowing you to render and export faster than with other RAW formats. And if you’re working on Mac Studio or MacBook Pro, the M1 Ultra, M2 Pro and M2 Max chips further accelerate ProRes RAW performance. Since ProRes RAW files are smaller than standard formats, you can fit more footage on every card.

RAW flexibility

Work with untouched image data directly from your camera sensor. RAW files provide maximum flexibility for adjusting the look of your video while extending brightness and shadows — an ideal combination for HDR workflows. The new ProRes RAW Settings window in Final Cut Pro provides enhanced options for ISO, colour temperature and exposure offset from supported devices for an even deeper level of control. And now camera makers can enable their native colour processing with the new ProRes RAW plug-in architecture.

Final Cut Pro includes a complete toolset for importing, editing, and delivering both monoscopic and stereoscopic 360° video.

360° graphics and effects

Easily add 2D and 3D titles to your 360° video and apply blurs, glows and other 360° effects. Or create more advanced 360° motion graphics in Motion, then add them directly to your Final Cut Pro project. You can even add 360° video to standard projects, using the Tiny Planet effect to create spherical looks and animations.
