In their own words
Final Cut Pro
Final Cut Pro is Apple’s video editing app for Mac and iPad, with tools for both beginning editors and professionals. Editors can trim clips, isolate backgrounds without a green screen, and create captions automatically from spoken audio. The app also includes audio editing, color grading, titles, transitions, and effects; Apple lists Magnetic Mask among its intelligent features. Some Apple Creator Studio features require a device capable of Apple Intelligence. The iPad version offers a touch-first interface, Apple Pencil support, Live Drawing, Montage Maker, and project transfer to Mac. On Mac, XML import and export support third-party workflows such as color grading and sound mixing. The Mac App Store listing names formats including ProRes, ProRes RAW, RED, XAVC, AVCHD, Avid DNxHR, Avid DNxHD, H.264, and HEVC, plus third-party FxPlug plug-ins. It supports 4K export and team collaboration, and can import iMovie projects. The Mac version requires macOS 15.6 or later; the iPad version requires iPadOS 18.6 or later and a listed compatible iPad. Purchase options include a one-time Mac license or subscriptions.
