Final Cut Pro 4 is the creative, professional and extensible tool for editing and
finishing in SD and HD formats.
Resolution independent
Final Cut Pro 4 is a scalable digital nonlinear editing system built on a
resolution-independent architecture. From the innovative OfflineRT and DV, up to
uncompressed 10-bit 601 or HD, Final Cut Pro 4 is perfect for editing and finishing a wide
variety of programs at virtually any resolution or frame rate.
Powerful toolset
Video pros will appreciate Final Cut Pro 4’s rich editing tools — including
support for asymmetric trimming — and new customization features such as fully
customizable keyboards and workspace layouts. A sophisticated multi-stream real-time
architecture supports an increased number of video streams and effects. Multi-track audio
mixing, output and real-time audio effects enhance NLE-based audio editing. Final Cut Pro
4 includes two additional creative tools: LiveType, a broadcast-quality title generator,
and Soundtrack, an intuitive tool for creating custom soundtracks. Final Cut Pro 4 gives
digital artists the freedom to explore their creativity.
Broadcast quality
Uncompromising image quality, sample-accurate A/V synchronization and corrective finishing
tools make Final Cut Pro 4 appropriate for SD and HD broadcast applications. Apple’s
new SD and HD finishing formats let online editors work with 10-bit uncompressed video; a
new 32-bit per channel floating-point image engine composites elements and renders effects
with incredible clarity and precision. With support for DVCPRO50 built-in, Final Cut Pro 4
has the power to deliver professional, broadcast-quality images from the field or the edit
bay.
XML interchange format
XML Link — a new, standards-based composition and
metadata interchange format — bridges the gap between disparate edit systems, asset
management databases and customized post-production workflows. XML Link, AAF support and
the ubiquity of QuickTime across professional applications give Final Cut Pro 4 the
flexibility to fit into any production pipeline. A new plug-in API, enhanced EDL support
and FXScript — a visual effects scripting language — make Final Cut Pro 4 the
most extensible NLE available.
