Apple took over the stage at the Final Cut Pro User Group Network Supermeet during the National Association of Broadcasters trade show on Tuesday to preview the upcoming major overhaul of Final Cut Pro. Dubbed Final Cut Pro X, Apple's pro video and film editing app is finally getting a fully Cocoa-fied, 64-bit rewrite, including a UI overhaul and underlying support for full background rendering.
Apple video architect Peter Steinauer and chief video architect Randy Ubillos (of iMovie demo fame) were both on hand to demonstrate new features of Final Cut Pro X. In particular, the rewritten app takes full advantage of underlying Mac OS X technologies introduced in Snow Leopard, including OpenCL, GCD, Quicktime X, and Core Animation, to deliver background rendering. "The render dialogue is gone!" said Steinauer during the preview, noting that editors no longer have to wait for certain edits and effects to render before continuing—a major workflow improvement. Thanks to the re-architecting, Final Cut Pro X can automatically scale CPU-intensive tasks to fully utilize multicore processors and offload certain tasks to available GPUs, offering a major performance boost over previous FCP versions.
