Apple has rolled out updates to its renowned video editing software, Final Cut Pro, for both iPads and Macs.
The new iPad version now supports voice-over recordings, which is a big deal for creators who wanted an all-in-one editing solution. It also squeezes a bit more performance out of the powerful M-series chips found in the latest iPads.
The Mac update brings a much-requested scrolling timeline and smoother tracking tech.
Both versions now export projects faster by splitting the work across multiple processing cores.
Could these changes be enough to keep Apple in the editing game against the likes of Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve? Could this be the start of a more unified iPad and Mac app ecosystem?
