What’s new in Final Cut Pro 10.1.2
Final Cut Pro 10.1.2 introduces new features and enhancements, detailed below.
Media management improvements
New features provide you with more flexibility and control over media management.
Store optimized, proxy, and rendered media outside the library, at the location you choose.
Easily delete optimized, proxy, and render files from within Final Cut Pro.
View and set storage locations for media, cache files, and library backup files using the Library Properties inspector.
For more information, see Set storage locations in Final Cut Pro, Create optimized and proxy files in Final Cut Pro, and Manage render files in Final Cut Pro.
Organization enhancements
Final Cut Pro 10.1.2 provides streamlined organizing tools.
You now have the option to show only unused media in the browser.
Used-media indicators now work with compound clips, multicam clips, and synced clips.
You can now sort events in the Libraries sidebar by date or name.
For more information, see Find clips and projects in Final Cut Pro, Colored lines on event clips in Final Cut Pro, and Merge and split events in Final Cut Pro.
Support for wide-dynamic-range imagery from professional 4K cameras
The new Apple ProRes 4444 XQ codec is the highest-quality version of Apple ProRes for 4:4:4:4 image sources (including alpha channels), with a very high data rate to preserve the detail from today’s highest-quality digital image sensors. See Media formats supported in Final Cut Pro and Export formats supported in Final Cut Pro.
You can apply a standard broadcast color space (Rec. 709) look in real time to high-dynamic-range and wide-color-gamut video shot on ARRI, Blackmagic Design, Canon, and Sony cameras. See Apply LUTs in Final Cut Pro.
Audio workflow improvements
Speed up your audio workflow with these enhancements:
You can now adjust the relative or absolute volume of a clip or range selection by entering a specific dB value. See Adjust volume in Final Cut Pro.
Final Cut Pro 10.1.2 provides improved speed and accuracy when syncing clips. See Sync audio and video in Final Cut Pro.
New live audio recording features include an automatic countdown and automatic grouping of multiple takes into auditions. See Record voiceovers in Final Cut Pro.
The new Basic Surround preset simplifies panning for surround sound audio. See Pan audio in Final Cut Pro.
Import and export features
Import and export entire libraries as single XML files using XML 1.4. See Use XML to transfer projects in Final Cut Pro.
Create keywords from Finder tags when you import media from a storage device. See Import into Final Cut Pro from your Mac or storage device and Organize files during import into Final Cut Pro.
Quickly export cuts-only projects containing XDCAM media.
Other notable features
You can now import media by dragging it from the Finder to the browser (rather than to the event in the Libraries sidebar). See Import into Final Cut Pro from your Mac or storage device.
Nudging a clip in the timeline now works like a slide edit. See Arrange clips in the Final Cut Pro timeline.
You can now break apart an audition. See Create auditions in Final Cut Pro.
