Final Cut Pro X launches: 64-bit, $299.99 and available now via Mac App StoreThe next generation of video editing is but a click away. Apple has announced Final Cut Pro X, the software that will reinvent video editing thanks to a magnetic timeline, is live in the Mac App Store.

Priced at £179.99, Final Cut Pro X has been completely rebuilt from the ground up as a 64-bit app. Doing so allows the software to take full advantage of the latest Mac software and hardware, resulting in faster edits even when working with 4K video.

“Final Cut Pro X is the biggest advance in Pro video editing since the original Final Cut Pro,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “We have shown it to many of the world’s best Pro editors, and their jaws have dropped.”

Unlike past Final Cut releases, Final Cut Pro X will not be sold in a ‘Studio’ bundle. Instead, the new version is all inclusive, allowing video editing as well as audio editing and color correction. By combining all three software titles in one, the only two add ons are Motion 5 and Compressor 4, both of which will be £29.99 in the Mac App Store.  In total you’re looking at £239.97 for all three titles.  While expensive, this is a bargain compared to the launch of Final Cut Studio for £834.00.
