Apple  introduced Final Cut Pro X, a new version of their professional video editing software at NAB 2011 in Las Vegas. This latest version of Final Cut was completely rewritten from the ground up, with a new user interface and a slew of new features that take advantage of core Mac OS X features like Cocoa, Core Animation, Open CL, and Grand Central Dispatch to improve performance; and it’s  first 64-bit version of the software.

New features in Final Cut Pro X include:

  • Fully color-managed Final Cut based on colorsync.
  • Resolution-independent playback system up to 4K formats.
  • Background rendering built into application.
  • Automatic import features
  • Media management
  • Improved timeline
  • Streamlined audio editing

Final Cut Pro X will be available this June from the Mac App Store.
