Final Cut Pro 11
Final Cut Pro 11 makes full use of chips Apple M series and brings the powerful and intuitive Magnetic Mask feature, the much-requested Transcribe to Captions feature that provides fast and accurate closed captioning, spatial video editing, and a host of time-saving and workflow-optimizing tools.
Features powered by artificial intelligence
In Final Cut Pro 11, editors have access to two brand-new AI tools: Magnetic Mask and Transcribe to Captions. With Magnetic Mask, editors can effortlessly isolate people and objects in a video clip without the need for green screen or time-consuming rotoscoping. This powerful and accurate automatic analysis provides additional flexibility when adjusting backgrounds and environments. Editors can also combine Magnetic Mask with color correction and video effects, allowing them to precisely control and style each project. And with Transcribe to Captions, closed captions can be automatically generated on the timeline using a large language model trained by the company Apple, which transcribes the spoken sound.
Magnetic Mask and Transcribe to Subtitles join existing AI features enabled by the Neural Engine from Apple, including:
- Smart Conform for easily creating social media-friendly versions of projects in square or vertical formats.
- Light and color enhancement for automatic color enhancement, color balance, contrast and brightness of video or photos.
- Smooth Slo-Mo for generating and blending video frames – including recordings taken on iPhone 16 Pro in 4K120 fps – to achieve the highest quality of motion.
- Voice isolation to enhance speech and optimize audio levels while reducing background noise from field-recorded audio.
