Final Cut Pro 11.2 for Mac
Final Cut Pro combines Apple's signature design with professional-grade tools that Hollywood editors and YouTube creators rely on daily.
Built exclusively for Mac, Final Cut Pro harnesses the full power of Apple Silicon processors.
M1, M2, M3, and M4 Macs deliver dramatically faster rendering, smoother 8K playback, and real-time effects processing that Windows alternatives simply cannot match on Apple hardware.
AI Features
The AI-powered Magnetic Mask lets you isolate people, objects, and shapes in any footage without green screens or tedious manual rotoscoping.
Combined with face and object tracking that automatically matches titles and effects to movement, Final Cut Pro eliminates hours of repetitive work.
Transcribe to Captions converts spoken audio into accurate captions automatically using Apple's on-device language processing.
The captions appear directly in your timeline - no expensive third-party services or manual transcription required.
Professional Format Support
Final Cut Pro handles everything from standard definition to 8K video natively. Import and edit ProRes, Apple ProRes RAW, and all major professional camera formats without transcoding delays.
For expanded codec support including DNxHD, AVC-Intra, and XDCAM, install Pro Video Formats from Apple.
The latest version unlocks advanced iPhone ProRes RAW controls for adjusting exposure, color temperature, and demosaicing when working with footage shot on supported iPhone models. Apply the new Apple Log 2 LUT to edit Log footage with accurate color representation from your original scene.
Apple Vision Pro and Spatial Video
Import and edit spatial video clips captured on Apple Vision Pro or iPhone 15 Pro.
Add titles, color correction, and effects to spatial projects, then share content that viewers experience in true three-dimensional space on Vision Pro headsets.
Complete Editing Workflow
Timeline editing now supports 90, 100, and 120 fps for high frame rate projects.
New Picture in Picture and Callout effects speed up tutorial and presentation editing. Modular transitions create professional visual reveals without complex keyframing.
For quick trimming without re-encoding, LosslessCut handles simple cuts in seconds.
When you need format conversion for delivery, HandBrake or Shutter Encoder provide free encoding with Apple Silicon optimization.
