Final Cut Pro X Update

Apple has updated its Final Cut Pro editing system, improving overall performance and stability, fixing some bugs and including new features.

Highlights have been support for XAVC-L (Sony) and AVC-Intra 4:4:4:4 (Panasonic) files up to 4K resolution, import of Canon XF-AVC 8-bit video clips, using the Canon plugin, and export of interlaced H.264.

The rest of the improvements are aimed at the general operation of the system:

• Fixed rendering errors that could occur when using reflective materials with 3D text.

• Fixed render bug that caused 3D text to appear in black.

• Improved stability during the exchange of materials in 3D texts with published parameters.

• Improved performance when loading text styles.

• Correct export of Motion Title templates with published text layout parameters.

• Fixed problems with the synchronization of some animated effects.

Compressor has also gained support for exporting in interlaced H.264, and both Compressor and Motion have had some bugs fixed.
