New features in Final Cut Pro X are designed to simplify the process of editing and increase productivity.
"I believe that this new version looks very exciting," Ryan Sciarrotta, production assistant of Syncronos Design, told MacNewsWorld. "I believe that the addition of better background rendering. This will allow people to continue working on a project while Final Cut works behind the scenes to render out what you need. In the past, long waiting times for rendering would completely stop your work on the program. "
Magnetic characteristics Timeline offers users an easier way to switch the location of the clip and see how it would play in different orders. Other programs have used, and now is part of the arsenal Final Cut.
"The ability to connect the various clips together in a compound or keep them grouped clips together is something that I am happy to see in this new version," said Sciarrotta. "It was something I'd seen in other programs that I liked in Final Cut for a long time, and now it's finally here-and it looks even easier and better to use than I could imagine."
Apple is implementing what was learned from other products that is designed, then this is a step in the future. The new interface may take some getting used to for those comfortable with previous versions.
"The time line has a completely different look, as well as the entire interface," said Sciarrotta. "It seems that Apple is trying to make Final Cut more user-friendly by adopting some of the features already found in similar Apple products, like iPhoto and iMovie. Since this is a new interface, some veterans of the old system could have some problems, but I think the new content be enough to get people to switch. "
Apple has tried to make it easier to use with the addition of improved organizational tools Final Cut. Magnetic Timeline makes it easier for users to organize content.
"One of the advantages of the new version is the ease of consultation," said Sciarrotta. "For one, the time necessary to compare the shots has been streamlined. It seems easier to use. The exchange between brings out the best shots for a scene was not difficult in the past, but could take some time. Now it looks like can be done in seconds.
"Their new line of time also allows you to search best clips, allowing clip tag with keywords. This is also a feature like that found in other Apple products, now finally implemented in a product that makes sense for, "he added.
One thing that may be cause for concern is the characteristic of self-analysis, noted Sciarrotta.
"This feature will automatically sort and categorize your shots," he explained. "While they play well, I hope there will be a way to disable this, because in my work I have to be very specific about how to categorize my means of communication."
Overall, Sciarrotta scores very positively the new version.
"This version just seems faster in every way. In the new version X, Final Cut will make a lot of work for you so you can keep moving and keep your creative juices flowing, "he said.

Could definitely be worth the price to some professional, though. People who use Final Cut every day for their work could benefit from these new tools.
"Whenever Apple introduces a new product, it is always ' the best '. It may be true, "said Kay.
"When they sell it, is the best, then emerges with a new one that is now the ' best '. Just people expect their applications to be automatically updated. Not necessarily want a completely new product. However, if you're a professional video editing, and what to do-and Final Cut Pro for professionals-you may need to spring for it. "
