new features
Open format Timeline
The new open format Timeline in Final Cut Pro 6 lets you mix and match source material in a wide range of formats and even different frame rates. Freely edit a combination of HD and SD, including NTSC and PAL, all in real time. Watch the QuickTour
Apple ProRes 422
Final Cut Pro 6 introduces ProRes 422, Apple’s new post-production format offering uncompressed HD quality at SD file sizes. Use ProRes 422 when collaborating over an Xsan storage network or working on a portable computer in the field; when working with non-native camera formats; or to preserve maximum quality for composites and demanding color grading work.

SmoothCam
The SmoothCam feature automatically smoothes out shaky shots while preserving standard camera moves like dollies, pans, and zooms. SmoothCam uses powerful optical flow technology to analyze your footage in the background while you continue to edit other material.

Deep integration with Motion 3
Editable Motion 3 master templates — complete with video drop zones and text fields — let you easily update content without leaving Final Cut Pro. Send clips from Final Cut Pro to Motion for advanced image processing, including sophisticated retiming effects and image stabilization. Data from variable speed changes and SmoothCam adjustments made in Final Cut Pro appears in Motion along with your footage.

FxPlug filters and transitions
Add to more than 150 real-time filters and effects in Final Cut Pro 6 by bringing in third-party filters based on the FxPlug standard — the format used to produce the extraordinary real-time effects in Motion. Leading developers use FxPlug to create hundreds of real-time, GPU-accelerated plug-ins at 32-bit float quality. Final Cut Pro 6 includes more than 25 new FxPlug filters to get you started.

Improved audio
New Soft Normalize and Gain controls can be applied to single or multiple clips to automatically raise the level of any clip to its maximum without distortion. Create a surround sound mix in Soundtrack Pro, then return to Final Cut Pro to monitor your audio in full 5.1 surround sound as you continue your video edit.
Simplified setups
Setting up a sequence is now as easy as dragging and dropping. Final Cut Pro instantly configures the setup to match the format of the first clip you drop into the Timeline. For manual setups, the Easy Setup feature takes you through three simple choices. Select a format category (for example, HDV), frame rate, and finally the specific format. Each list shows you only the options you need based on the other choices you’ve made.
Integration with Color
When you want to give your finished project a specific cinematic look — or if you need to do significant color correction across the entire project — send it to Color for advanced color grading with round-trip ease. Color can also be used in Digital Intermediate workflows to color grade and output high-resolution film scans.
Cinema Tools 4
Cinema Tools 4 includes a streamlined interface that helps you work more efficiently than ever. Customizable film lists now let you mix timecode and keycode in the same list. Output beautifully formatted, easy-to-read PDF lists for reference or to share with clients. You can also export your lists as XML and import them into industry-standard tracking systems used to pull film negatives. Watch the QuickTour
