\n\u201cFrom Hollywood blockbuster directors to first time movie makers, Final Cut Pro X is changing the way we edit movies today,\u201d said Philip Schiller,\u00a0Apple\u2019s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. \u201cThe updated Final Cut Pro X, Motion and Compressor make it even easier to edit, title and\u00a0package everything from short videos to feature-length films.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe loved using Final Cut Pro X to edit Focus,\u201d said Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, co-directors of the 2015 feature film, Focus. \u201cWe created the final\u00a0theatrical titles for the movie right in Final Cut Pro, and the new 3D titling and effects features will let us take in-app graphics even further. We\u2019re\u00a0using the new Final Cut Pro on our next feature film.\u201d<\/p>\n
