Final Cut Pro 11

Get up to speed on the video editor’s powerful new tools

Use AI to isolate a moving person or object from their background in seconds and add a creative effect to them.

$299.99 From www.apple.com Needs macOS 14.6 or later

BACK IN JUNE of 2011, Apple’s professional non–linear editor (NLE) Final Cut Pro became Final Cut Pro X. Over the following decade, Final Cut Pro removed the X from its title, but its toolset evolved to become a more useful resource for professional video editors. The Final Cut Pro 11 release deserves its full new version number as it boasts much more than a few tweaks to existing tools. As you’d expect with a new Apple product, Apple Intelligence has been used to give Final Cut Pro 11 a big upgrade — speeding up tedious tasks thanks to smart artificial intelligence (AI) powered tools.
